Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of human mesenchymal stem cells with interferon beta (MSC-INFb) that can be given to patients with ovarian cancer and to test the safety of the MSC-INFb. This is an investigational study. MSC-INFb infusions for ovarian cancer is investigational. Up to 21 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
One in four deaths in the United States is due to cancer, and one in three women will develop cancer in her lifetime. Despite improvements in survival among other forms of cancer, ovarian cancer prognosis remains poor. Eighty percent of women with ovarian cancer will present with advanced disease (stage 3 or 4) where 5-year survival ranges from 18-34%.2 Among patients with stage III and IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), recurrence rates are high.4 Therefore, interventions focused on preventing recurrence or slowing progression of EOC is a critical problem in the field. The investigators have submitted an R21 to NCI for a dose response exercise intervention trial to examine the dose response effects of aerobic exercise on biomarkers relevant to ovarian cancer progression and recurrence. The reviewers would like assurance that the investigators can recruit ovarian cancer patients into an exercise study and that these women will do the exercise protocol we plan to prescribe in our high dose of exercise.
This is an observational prospective study. Patients diagnosed with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (stage IC or higher) since 2008 will be asked to participate in this study by signing an informed consent. Tumour samples will be reviewed to confirm the diagnosis and to select the best regions for tissue sampling to perform the following molecular studies: array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization and Next Generation Sequencing. Detected mutations will be analysed by Sanger sequencing. FISH probes will be designed and tested on the samples.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works when given in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel may be a better treatment for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
This pilot research trial studies folate receptor in diagnosing ovarian cancer using serum samples from patients with a newly diagnosed pelvic mass or previously diagnosed ovarian cancer. Studying samples of serum from patients with ovarian cancer in the laboratory may help understand the use of folate receptor induction as a clinical tool in initial diagnosis, surveillance, and recurrence.
The hypothesis of this 3 year, prospective randomized multicenter efficacy trial is that a structured life-style intervention program with exercise training and mediterranean diet is effective regarding increased adherence to a mediterranean diet, reduction of body mass index, and increase of physical fitness.
The main objective of the proposed non-interventional study is to obtain real-world effectiveness, safety and treatment patterns data of patients with BRCAm+ (Breast Cancer Gene(s) mutation positive) platinum sensitive relapsed (PSR) ovarian cancer in German hospitals and outpatient practices treated with olaparib.
This is an open label, multi-institutional, single arm phase II trial of pembrolizumab in patients with incurable platinum refractory germ cell tumors. No randomization or blinding is involved.
This study will maximize identification of women with Lynch Syndrome using an enhanced screening strategy to identify those at risk. These women will be referred to genetic counselling for testing and those found to have Lynch Syndrome will be asked to invite first degree relatives to participate and undergo genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome. Screening guidelines and risk reducing surgery options for participants found to have Lynch Syndrome will be reinforced by the study and adherence to these guidelines will be assessed annually for ten years following Lynch Syndrome diagnosis to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of this enhanced screening approach.
This study describes the survival outcomes of advanced stage breast, colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients receiving advanced integrative oncology (AIO) treatment at participating North American integrative oncology clinics. This study also aims to describe the integrative treatments recommended by naturopathic doctors (NDs) for these participants alongside their conventional care treatments. Sub-studies will evaluate health-related quality of life, cost of cancer care, and qualitative experience of care in a subset of Canadian participants.
