Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare participants with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer when treated with investigational product (Vigil) compared to placebo. The main question it aims to answer is "Will participants who receive treatment with Vigil have a longer time to disease recurrence versus the participants that were not given Vigil?"
The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety of weekly paclitaxel with oncothermia and weekly cisplatin with oncothermia in patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma. This trial is a randomized phase 1 trial. The investigators planned to perform it for 1 year. In this trial, a total of 12 patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma are randomly assigned to either a paclitaxel or cisplatin group in ratio of 1 to 1. Paclitaxel group are treated with weekly paclitaxel and oncothermia. Cisplatin group are treated with weekly cisplatin and oncothermia. In each group, limiting toxicity is evaluated after treating 3 patients for 4-cycles. Primary endpoint is occurrence of limiting toxicity. Secondary endpoints are response rate, progression-free survival, overall-survival, quality of life, pain, fatigue and compliance rate.
PCR for chlamydia DNA is done in paraffin blocks of cases of primary tubal cancer and is compared to cases of high grade serous ovarian cancer and normal tubes .
BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are implicated in 10-15% of ovarian cancer cases, increased to 22% germline BRCA1/2 mutation frequency in patients with high grade serous histology subtype, including those women who have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. With the rapid advancement of therapeutics targeted this population, this protocol seeks to provide genetic BRCA1/2 screening to all patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer. This information may help in selection of future treatment options and genetic testing for BRCA1/2 may be used to potentially prevent a proportion of cancer for the family members. This study will be an opportunity for patient to improve access at genetic and molecular testing for BRCA1/2 mutation which could impact her future treatment option. Moreover, this study will allow to prospectively assess the proportion of patients with BRCA mutation in ovarian cancer and describe the type of mutations identified in a large population.
This is a phase 2 study (the second phase in testing a new drug or drug combination) to see how useful adding investigational drug cediranib to olaparib after disease progression on olaparib alone in patients with ovarian cancer.
The importance of selecting patients with ovarian cancer who will benefit from either primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery has been acknowledged worldwide but the optimal diagnostic modality to serve in this matter remains to be discovered. We believe that combined magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography (MR-PET) can be of great clinical value in preoperative staging of patients with ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to Investigate whether the administration of HIPEC with Cisplatin (75 milligrams per square meter of body surface) after surgical cytoreduction in women with ovarian, tubal or primary peritoneal carcinoma increased disease-free survival period compared with patients without HIPEC treatment.
Background: - The new drug BMN 673 (talazoparib) has been shown to fight tumor cells in animals and some people. It is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor. It works on tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair process. Researchers want to see if BMN 673 shrinks cancer again in women with ovarian cancer and whose cancer initially got shrunk but grew back on the first PARP inhibitor. Objective: - To study BMN 673 (talazoparib) in people with ovarian cancer born with a breast cancer (BRCA) mutation and whose cancer got shrunk but became worse after they took a similar drug. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years old: - with recurrent and/or metastatic germline breast cancer mutation (gBRCAm)-associated ovarian cancer AND - whose disease is growing after already being treated with PARP inhibitors AND - with no other treatment(s) in between the first PARP inhibitors and a screening visit. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and heart and blood tests. - Participants will take the study drug by mouth once daily. They will take the drug in 28-day cycles. - They will keep a diary of doses and any side effects. - Participants will have 4 study visits in cycle 1, then 1 visit every cycle. Visits may include: - Blood tests - Physical exam - Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body. - Ultrasound - Participants will have a biopsy before starting the study drug. A small piece of tumor tissue will be removed by needle, guided by a scan. They may have two more biopsies later. - Participants will be followed for 30 days after taking the last dose of study drug. A physical exam, blood tests, and CT or other scans will be done. - Participants will have follow-up calls to ask about any side effects.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Most of these cancers are manifested in the form of an ovarian cyst. Practitioners are faced with two main difficulties. The first is to establish an early diagnosis. The second is to differentiate a benign tumor, a malignant tumor. To date, there is only one biological tumor marker routinely performed before an ovarian cyst, the CA-125 (cancer antigen 125). Unfortunately, many studies have been performed and show a sensitivity and specificity unsatisfactory in view of the severity of the disease. The principal investigator therefore propose to evaluate a new tumor marker, as well as its use in algorithms to help differentiate benign from malignant tumors, and allow earlier diagnosis in cases of ovarian cancer.
