View clinical trials related to Ovarian Neoplasms.
Filter by:The current study aims to analyze the existing secondary databases from Korea (Sungkyunkwan University, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul), Taiwan (National Taiwan University, Chang-Gung Medical Foundation Linkou Branch and Mackay Memorial Hospital), and Australia (Australian Ovarian Cancer Study [AOCS]) to leverage the already available data in the real-world setting to review the current standard of care in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer cases. The collected data will help provide the required information for assessing the unmet treatment needs in this patient group. The data will also provide the needed information to support any reimbursement activity needed for future novel therapies in this patient group
This is a single arm pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility of using a simvastatin intervention, and to evaluate its effects on cancer progression, among 20 patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer, treated with carboplatin and liposomal doxorubicin at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the researchers can combine information provided by PET/MRI scans with information from tests on blood and tissue samples to develop a very detailed description (profile) of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), which could improve our ability to treat this disease. The study researchers will use computers to analyze the combined results of the imaging tests and the genetic and immune system tests on the tumor samples. The study researchers think that this information will help them more accurately predict the way tumors respond to treatment, which may improve their ability to individualize treatments for this disease.
NACT is a heavy oncologic treatment, which can impair functional capacity, nutritional and emotional status. These three impairments are often ignored and not taken into account in the pre-therapeutic evaluations but are correlated with postoperative morbidity and mortality after major surgery. Recently, a prehabilitation before surgery, including physical, nutritional and psycho-social support, has been defined. From a literature review, the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) seems to constitute a strong evaluation factor reflecting physical fitness, easily measured with a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) at maximal effort. Several studies have shown beneficial effects of trimodal prehabilitation programs on postoperative functional capacity, return to daily activities and pain relief. Home-based program and connected devices may improve the feasibility and the compliance to this program. The hypothesis of this study is that performing a connected supervised home-based and patient-tailored multimodal prehabilitation program from diagnosis to surgery (with or without ERAS program) during NACRT, for patients managed for ovarian cancer, will limit physical fitness alteration and will positively affect postoperative outcomes. Our study consists in an early and multidimensional (combining nutritional, physical, emotional and medical support) prehabilitation program during NACT for patients with ovarian cancer, in order to limit physical alteration before surgical treatment, and therefore improve postoperative outcomes. It will include a home-based prehabilitation program, in order to allow care access to all eligible patients.
The immune system is our body's defense mechanism, which helps us to resist foreign pathogens and cancer cells in the body. However, if the immune system is too weak, too strong, or unbalanced, it will be susceptible to get bacterial and viral infections, unable to fight cancer, or cause allergies, autoimmune and rheumatic diseases. At present, there is no good western medicine to strengthen immunity when the body is insufficient immunity. However, strong immunity causes autoimmune diseases and need to be treated by steroids and immunosuppressive agents. These drugs have limited efficacy and often have many side effects. In the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine, tonify qi, supplement blood and nourish yin are often used to enhance immunity. However, there is no clinical test to demonstrate the modulation of immune response after traditional Chinese medicine treatment. In our preliminary study, the investigators identified that the basic immune response of cancer patients is weaker than healthy people by testing the level of IFN-r (promoting T cell activity, anti-tumor, anti-viral), TNF-a (promoting B cell proliferation, producing antibodies, anti-tumor, anti-viral) and IL-2 (regulate the proliferation and differentiation). Besides, some Chinese herbal extracts can significantly stimulate the immune response higher than the general average basic immunity of cancer patients. Further, we will use the stimulatory Chinese medicine extract to administer to cancer patients and examine the immune response of cancer patients after taking them. Therefore, this test can provide actual data on the basic immunity of healthy people or cancer patients and the modulation of immune response by traditional Chinese medicine treatment. This analysis platform provides patients to select the medicines that can enhance the immune response for individuals and analyze the changes of the immune response after conditioning with the candidate Chinese medicines. Therefore, this test could be applied clinically to validate the immunological regulation of Chinese herbal medicine as well as analyze the immunological modulation against different cancer by various Chinese herbal medicine.
Randomized phase III multicenter study investigating the role of letrozole in heavily pretreated recurrent ovarian cancer.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative olaparib monotherapy and preoperative olaparib plus pembrolizumab combination therapy in patients with untreated stage III, IV high-grade serous or Grade 3 endometrioid ovarian cancer with Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) positivity.
To elucidate factors affecting survival of early stage ovarian cancer
This research study is studying a new drug, NC410, as a possible treatment for advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
This is a Phase 1 first in human, open label, multi-center, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-172154 in subjects with ovarian cancer.
