Filter by:Tumor response to NAC predicts survival and can be considered a surrogate prognostic marker. Three tiered chemotherapy response score (CRS) of omental tissue sections showed a significant association with survival. In patients with CRS 1 or 2, NAC selects a subpopulation of chemotherapy resistant tumor cells. This study will examine comprehensive molecular analyses on the residual disease of 104 clinically defined high-grade serous carcinoma after NAC, including next-generation sequencing on 14 matched pretreatment biopsies. This information together with immune marker expression and BRCA expression, will provide a unique opportunity to guide biomarker-driven adjuvant studies targeting these chemotherapy-resistant tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to enroll participants who present with an adnexal mass on imaging to develop a non-invasive ovarian cancer assay to distinguish between malignant and benign masses. The study will collect blood, tissue, and health information from these individuals.
While ASA is not a cancer medication, research suggests that taking ASA reduces the probability of getting many types of cancer because of its anti-inflammatory action. Inflammation in the ovaries during ovulation is thought to contribute to the development of ovarian cancer, and, because ASA is an anti-inflammatory medication, it may help to prevent it.
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of gynecological malignancy-related deaths worldwide and is a substantial health threat to women. Many patients eventually develop chemoresistant relapsed disease and die despite surgery and combination chemotherapy. Progress in improving the survival in EOC has been slow, despite significant advances in treatment over the past 25 years. Tubal cancer and peritoneal cancer are thought to be similar in their origin, characteristics and treatment strategies. Based upon basic and animal studies, it is thought that copper chelators overcome platinum resistance. Thus, Trientine combined with carboplatin has been used to treat human cancers. The adverse effects (AEs) are acceptable in previously heavily-treated recurrent ovarian cancer patients, however, the treatment responses are limited. Therefore, here the investigators conduct a phase I trial of Trientine®, pegylated doxorubicin and carboplatin to find the dose-limited toxicities, and maximal toxicity dosage, and to explore whether the combination is applicable in epithelial ovarian, tubal and peritoneal cancers.
This is a non-interventional, cross-sectional, multicentre, observational study planned to be conducted at 15 sites across all geographical regions of India. The study targets to enrol 240 patients with approximately 16 patients from each site. Written approval of Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/ Institutional Review Board (IRB) and written informed consent from willing patients will be obtained prior to the start of the study.
Epithelial ovarian cancer harbours 20% Breast Cancer gene (BRCA)1/2 mutations independently of family history. Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have shown clinical activity among patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and specifically among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the use of olaparib as maintenance therapy "as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum sensitive relapsed BRCA mutated (germline and/or somatic) high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete response or partial response) to platinum-based chemotherapy". Trabectedin and Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) have shown relevant activity in relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer. In the relapse with Treatment-free interval of last platinum (TFIp) between 6 and 12 months this efficacy translated into an increase in Overall survival (OS) and Progression free survival (PFS). There is an increase of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) among platinum sensitive patients, that reaches 44% in third line and does not always allow for platinum use despite desensitization protocols. In relapse with TFIp between 6-12 months the use of Trabectedin+PLD is accepted in guidelines and consensus. Following clinical BRCAness criteria a group of patients that harbours up to 50% of BRCA1/2 mutations can be selected. Olaparib has been licensed according to EMA for maintenance in BRCA mutated patients after response to platinum following Study 19 phase II trial and further confirmed with phase III SOLO-2 data. However there is no evidence of the benefit of adding olaparib after Trabectedin+PLD response among BRCA1/2 carriers. The combination of Trabectedin+PLD, as well as both single drugs, have shown higher activity among BRCA1/2 carriers.
Multicenter Phase II study on Decitabine-Carboplatin combination in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients. Patients will receive study treatment until disease progression is documented, extraordinary medical circumstances occur, intolerable toxicities occur, or the patient withdraws consent.
The good tolerability profile of enzalutamide, the fact that the administration of steroids is not necessary and the impressive results achieved in prostate cancer, make this drug an ideal candidate to be tested in ovarian granulosa cancer, a tumor that could somehow be considered as "female prostate cancer".
The purpose of this prospective, parallel-group, cohort study is to implement phenotype-guided targeted therapy based on functional signal transduction pathway (STP) activity in recurrent ovarian cancer patients using a novel mRNA-based assay. Existing targeted drugs with tolerable toxicity profiles are used to investigate the therapeutic value beyond their approved indication, which are deemed beneficial in the select group of patients with a relevant predominantly active functional STP, in order to improve survival and maintain quality of life.
This research study evaluates the concordance of the result between two diagnostic tests: Sentinel node and Pelvic-para-aortic lymphadenectomy in patients with ovarian cancer.
