Filter by:Approximately 7,400 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed each year in the United Kingdom (UK), and with over 4,000 women dying from the disease each year it is a particularly lethal form of cancer. The symptoms for ovarian cancer are not well known and vague, and most women are diagnosed at a late stage when the cancer has already spread around the abdominal cavity with poor prognosis. Novel methods are needed to improve earlier detection and thereby improve survival from this disease. The Cancer Loyalty Card Study (CLOCS) proposes to use loyalty card data from two participating high street retailers to investigate purchase behaviour as an opportunity for cancer symptom surveillance. The investigators aim to conduct a case-control study of ovarian cancer patients matched with women without ovarian cancer and to explore public preferences for how to communicate potential outcomes of the commercial and health data linkages back to individuals. Eligible participants will be women in the UK who own at least one loyalty card with the participating high street retailers. Of these women, those who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer are eligible to participate in the study as cases, while women who have not been diagnosed with ovarian cancer are eligible to participate as controls. Upon choosing to participate, all participants will be asked to complete a short questionnaire about well-established ovarian cancer risk factors and common symptoms either in the clinic (cases) or online/from a packet in the mail(controls). This information will be used in risk assessment for ovarian cancer of participants, which will be used at the analysis stage.
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer and the 5th leading cause of cancer death in women. Platinum chemotherapy has been widely adopted as a standard treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, the response rates in patients with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer is unacceptably low. PD-1 blockade has been developed to a new class of cancer immunotherapy that could restore an adequate immunosurveillance against the neoplasm and enhance T-cell-mediated anticancer immune responses. Manganese has been confirmed to activate antigen-presenting cells and function as mucosal immunoadjuvants in pre-clinical studies. This two-arm, phase I/II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of combined therapy of anti-PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy with or without Manganese priming.
The goals of this prospective, observational cohort study are to determine the feasibility of implementing paclitaxel therapeutic drug monitoring for cancer patients and explore the relationship between paclitaxel drug exposure and the development of neuropathic symptoms. This trial studies if paclitaxel can be consistently measured in the blood of patients with solid tumors undergoing paclitaxel treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as 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. Nerve damage is one of the most common and severe side effects of paclitaxel. The ability to consistently measure paclitaxel in the blood may allow doctors to control the dose of paclitaxel, so that enough chemotherapy is given to kill the cancer, but the side effect of nerve damage is reduced.
This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized umbrella study to evaluate the efficacy of cytoreductive surgery and Niraparib maintenance in participants with platinum-sensitive secondary recurrent ovarian cancer. Cohort 1 will focus on participants without prior use of PARP inhibitor, and without prior secondary cytoreduction (SCR) when first recurrence. Cohort 2 will focus on participants with prior use of PARP inhibitor, but without prior SCR when first recurrence. Cohort 3 will focus on participants with SCR when first recurrence, but without prior use of PARP inhibitor.
To demonstrate that ultra-radical surgery with multiple visceral resections and high tumor burden prior to surgery independently reduces the survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with complete cytoreductive surgery.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with gynecologic cancers that have come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with gynecologic cancers.
This trial studies how well positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR) versus contrast enhanced computerized tomography (CECT) scans work in locating ovarian cancer tumors in patients with known or suspected ovarian cancer. PET, MR, and CECT scans use different methods to create images of areas inside the body. This trial is being done to see if PET/MR scans may help doctors locate ovarian cancer tumors, predict how well these tumors may be removed during surgery, and predict how patients respond to platinum-based chemotherapies compared to standard of care CECT scans.
Spread pattern, the lack of alternative treatments, and emerging data on the activity of anti-Programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1) targeted checkpoint inhibitor therapy in gynecological cancers provide the rationale for this investigation. Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) are likely to increase the tumor-antigen expression and the mutational load. As a result, it would be interesting to combine this approach with immunotherapy. Moreover, Intraperitoneal (IP) infusion will directly target the peritoneal cavity and potentially enhance the immune response. Indeed some recent papers indicate that the peritoneum could be considered as a lymphoid organ, involving "milky spots", thus able to produce a better immune response when immunotherapy is given by IP route rather than intravenous (IV) route. The investigating team in Lyon, France is one of the major groups for HIPEC research in Europe (Pr O. Glehen et al) - Reference center for the tumors of the peritoneum (French National Cancer Institute). The aim of this study is to assess in this I/II phase study, the feasibility of extensive debulking surgery and HIPEC followed by Intraperitoneal (IP) nivolumab dose escalation in patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma.
This trial is a translational, open-label, multicentric, prospective cohort study of 900 patients aiming to describe the PD-1 (programmed death) expression in T cells (T lymphocytes) in different solid tumors. The study will be conducted on a population of patients with local and/or metastatic malignant solid tumor and who are followed within a standard of care procedure or clinical trial. Patients with any of the following tumor types may be enrolled in the trial: - Head and neck cancer, - Ovarian cancer, - Cervical cancer, - Pre-invasive CIN III cervical cancer (Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia III cervical cancer), - Other solid tumor types (including glioblastoma, NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer), anal cancer) Each tumor type will be considered as an independent cohort. For each included patient, biological specimen (tumor sample, blood samples and ascites samples if applicable) will be collected. Study participation of each patient will be 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to find out if it is possible to establish a nutritional support program for people who are scheduled to receive primary debulking surgery. Design: This will be a prospective observational study to assess the feasibility of implementing a preoperative nutrition supplementation program.
