This phase I trial studies the side effects of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in treating patients with ovarian, uterine, appendiceal, stomach (gastric), or colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneal carcinomatosis). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, leucovorin, fluorouracil, mitomycin, and irinotecan, 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. PIPAC is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The study device consists of a nebulizer (a device that turns liquids into a fine mist), which is connected to a high-pressure injector, and inserted into the abdomen (part of the body that contains the digestive organs) during a laparoscopic procedure (a surgery using small incisions to introduce air and to insert a camera and other instruments in the abdominal cavity for diagnosis and/or to perform routine surgical procedures). Pressurization of the liquid chemotherapy through the study device results in aerosolization (a fine mist or spray) of the chemotherapy intra-abdominally (into the abdomen). Giving chemotherapy through PIPAC may reduce the amount of chemotherapy needed to achieve acceptable drug concentration, and therefore potentially reduces side effects and toxicities.
This trial collects multiple tissue and blood samples, along with medical information, from cancer patients. The "Cancer Moonshot Biobank" is a longitudinal study. This means it collects and stores samples and information over time, throughout the course of a patient's cancer treatment. By looking at samples and information collected from the same people over time, researchers hope to better understand how cancer changes over time and over the course of medical treatments.
Ovarian cancer is frequently diagnosed in older women, with over half of all new diagnoses being in women over 65 years. Current treatment options are based on the results of clinical trials that often do not include older, less fit patients in whom treatments may be less well tolerated. Further, in older patients the impact of complex medical and social issues is not known. The UK lags behind Europe and the United States in the development of research programs dedicated to improving outcomes for older patients. More research focus is urgently required to improve the assessment and management of older women with ovarian cancer to improve survival outcomes, quality of life and functional independence. Current treatment decisions are made predominantly on age and fitness. However, it has been shown that undertaking a holistic, geriatric assessment of older patients can highlight important issues that would not necessarily be identified in a routine oncology appointment. In this study, we propose to ask oncology teams to undertake a geriatric assessment and specifically address issues that may arise as a result of this. The assessment comprises 8 simple non-invasive assessments that can be performed in the out-patient setting. This approach could result in an important change in clinical practice leading to more holistic assessment of older cancer patients and better address their specific needs and manage their cancer treatment. The long-term goal is to show that pro-actively managing potential issues at the beginning of treatment allows patients to tolerate treatment and maintain their functional independence, leading to improved quality of life.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine (MIRV) in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, whose tumors express a high-level of Folate Receptor-Alpha (FRα). Patients will be, in the opinion of the Investigator, appropriate for single-agent therapy for their next line of therapy. All patients will receive single-agent MIRV at 6 mg/kg adjusted ideal body weight administered on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle.
This is a multi-centre, observational (non-interventional) study, designed to follow patients with advanced ovarian fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer, who are receiving Niraparib as maintenance treatment, according to the Niraparib access criteria (via TESARO patient access programme, EMA licence and NHS pending NICE assessment due 2018) including assessment of tolerability to Niraparib therapy.
PROADAPT is a standardized geriatric intervention that is currently being co-constructed during an exploratory phase on a multi-professional and multi-disciplinary basis after a systematic analysis of published data (Figure). It consists in: 1) before surgery: a prehabilitation of the patients including a nutritional, physical and educational preparation; 2) during the hospitalization for surgery: an optimisation of their treatments through a pharmaceutical conciliation, educational interventions, standardization of surgical procedures and enhanced rehabilitation after surgery; 3) bridging and post-discharge interventions for hospital-to-home transition. This intervention is based on a logic change model, constructed with literature data and validated by an expert group through a DELPHI method : the rehabilitation model. This intervention was designed to be implemented pragmatically in the centers according local habits and is currently being evaluated in several distinct hospital contexts under the name of "PROADAPT pilot study" in different tumor contexts thanks to a grant from the Regional Health Agency of Rhône-Alpes Auvergne region. PROADAPT intervention is planned to be evaluated in 4 tumor models inducing complex medico-surgical procedures considered at high risk of geriatric deconditioning. They have the same primary objectives in order to be evaluated into a meta-analysis. Results will be used to test the validity of the rehabilitation model. Therefore, it is a study reaching the goal of the population health intervention research. The purpose of the PROADAPT-ovary/EWOC-2 study is to evaluate the impact of PROADAPT on patient's post-surgical outcomes in patients ≥ 70 years old with an advanced ovarian cancer (AOC).
This study aims to evaluate the effects of niraparib in those who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent interval debulking surgery, with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and would also explore if there are any biomarkers, other than BRCA / HRD status and platinum sensitivity, that may help to identify those who may benefit from PARPi especially those who are HRD negative.
Ovarian germ cell tumors (OGCTs) constitute 10% of ovarian tumors in Egypt and mainly affect young females. Teratomas are the most common type.Most of teratomas is benign. However, it is liable for malignant transformation. Others are malignant including dysgerminoma, immature teratoma, yolk sac tumor,.etc and accounts 1-1.5% of cancers in young females. The pathogenesis of OGCTs is not clearly understood. P16 is a member of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors. It arrests the cell cycle in G1 phase, so it is known as a tumor suppressor protein.P16 immunohistochemical(IHC) expression has been widely investigated in different cancers. Its IHC expression is either absent or overexpressed. Overexpression of p16 is documented in Human Papilloma Virus related endocervical neoplasms and High grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the vulvovaginal region.Absence of p16 expression is detected in multiple cancers such as Lung cancer, colorectal cancer and lymphoma. P16 IHC expression in OGCTs is poorly investigated. One study suggests that absent p16 is involved in proliferation of malignant OGCTs via molecular assessment.Another study suggested that decrease P16 is involved in malignant transformation of Mature cystic teratoma to squamous cell carcinoma.However, Previous studies are still limited and recommended further studies to confirm its results. As the role of altered P16 protein in OGCTs is not widely investigated, we hypothesized that abnormal P16 expression may be involved in its pathogenesis and germ stem cell proliferation.This will give more information about molecular pathways of germ stem cell proliferation to give a hope for CDK inhibitors as novel target therapies in the management of OGCTs.
Clinicians postulate that it may be interesting to combine the two IntraPeritoneal (IP) treatments associated with a significant improvement of OC overall survival i.e. cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) as an " intensive peritoneal " regimen in the initial management of stages III-IVA ovarian cancers. Performing a postoperative IPC may allow completing and extending the duration of the effect of HIPEC in decreasing the risk of peritoneal recurrence. HIPEC may also allow administering an early IP treatment on the residual microscopic disease during initial or interval surgery with an optimal access to the intraperitoneal cavity. Postoperative IPC will extend the HIPEC effect on unsterilized peritoneal microscopic residues with the aim of decreasing the risk of local recurrence. Performing HIPEC before IPC could allow limiting the number of postoperative IP courses needed. Nevertheless, this association questions its feasibility and tolerance, which should both be assessed in a phase II trial. Clinicians propose to conduct this feasibility study combining for the first time HIPEC with IPC as first-line treatment of ovarian cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis to perform a peritoneal intensification.
