Filter by:NUV-868-01 is a first-in human, open- label, Phase 1/2 dose escalation and expansion study in patients with advanced solid tumors. The Phase 1 and 1b portions include patients with advanced solid tumors and are designed to determine the safety and the dose(s) of NUV-868 to be used as monotherapy and in combination with olaparib or enzalutamide for the Phase 2 portion. In Phase 2, NUV-868 in combination with olaparib or enzalutamide will be given to determine the safety and efficacy of these study treatments. One cohort of patients (with enzalutamide-naïve metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer) will be randomized to receive either NUV-868 monotherapy, enzalutamide monotherapy, or the combination of NUV-868 + enzalutamide. Patients will self-administer NUV-868 orally daily in 28-day cycles as monotherapy in Phases 1 and 2. In Phases 1b and 2, patients will self-administer NUV-868 orally daily in 28-day cycles in combination with olaparib or enzalutamide daily at standard prescribed doses (Phase 1b) or at the recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2cD) that is determined in Phase 1b. Patients will be treated until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
In this study, The researchers sought to explore the efficacy and safety of involving field radiotherapy in the oligo-metastatic/recurrent/refractory ovarian cancer patients among different groups which include drug therapy alone, radiotherapy alone, and drug therapy plus radiotherapy by inviting clinical multi-center participation.
Brain metastases are the most common intracranial malignancy occurring in 20-40% of all cancers, and the presence of CNS metastases is associated with a poor prognosis. As such, the median overall survival of patients with symptomatic brain lesions is a dismal 2-3 months regardless of tumor type. Because standard chemotherapy largely does not cross the blood brain barrier at a meaningful concentration, standard treatment is limited and usually involves surgical resection and/or stereotactic radiosurgery for isolated lesions and whole brain radiation for multiple lesions. Unfortunately, the median overall survival is only improved by about 6 months with this multimodality approach2, and there is a paucity of second-line therapies to treat recurrence. Furthermore, re-resection and re-radiation are often not feasible options due to concern for increasing complications or neurotoxicity, respectively. Thus, there is a dire clinical need for additional treatment options for this patient population. Checkpoint blockade therapy, in particular PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibition, has recently shown clinical efficacy in multiple types of solid tumors. The investigators propose to study the efficacy of checkpoint blockade therapy in patients with solid tumors and refractory/recurrent brain metastases. The investigators will assess the efficacy of MEDI4736, a novel PD-L1 inhibitory monoclonal antibody, in this study.
The investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of delivering online, adaptive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided and gated stereotactic body radiation therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer on a novel, integrated Co-60 MRI treatment machine. To best assess this technology, the investigators will focus on patients that have no more than three sites of progressive disease within the central thorax, liver, and/or non-liver abdominopelvis to receive adaptive, MRI-guided and gated SBRT with MRI simulation. Patients will be treated in five fractions over one to two weeks. By adhering to strict normal tissue constraints, expected toxicity will be within the current standard of care but will allow adaptation based on daily anatomic changes. The prescription dose will be determined based on hard normal tissue constraints, and capped at 10Gy per fraction. Although the long term goal will be to achieve improved local control and disease-free survival with reduced toxicity, the present study will be driven by the short term goal of demonstrating the feasibility of this novel treatment approach for recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer.
This study will evaluate the immunologic and potential clinical effectiveness of intensive locoregional sequential intraperitoneal (IP) cisplatin (IPC) with intravenous (iv) paclitaxel followed by peritoneal infusion of a chemokine modulatory (CKM) regimen composed of a cocktail of IP rintatolimod and interferon-alpha (IFNα) for patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer (III-IV) at primary neoadjuvant setting. In the safety phase I phase, we determined the tolerable dose of IPC-CKM. In this phase 2 we will add intradermal (ID) autologous αDC1 vaccines (known to be nontoxic) to the tolerable IPC-CKM regimen. The effectiveness will be determined by rate of complete pathologic response.
Background: - Monocytes are a type of white blood cell found in human blood. They help the immune system. Researchers have found that monocytes taken from the blood of healthy people can kill tumor cells. Now they want to know if monocytes taken from the blood of people with ovarian cancer can kill tumor cells. - In addition, native host anti-tumor cell mediated immune mechanisms may play a role in clinical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer; data indicate that the presence of intra-tumoral CD3+ T-cells was shown to prognosticate improved outcome in advanced ovarian cancer. Furthermore, non-cellular components in the blood, such as exosomes, may influence outcome. Objective: - To see if monocytes taken from the blood of people with ovarian cancer can kill tumor cells. Eligibility: - Women 18 years and older with ovarian cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with: - Medical history and physical exam. - Blood tests. - CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis and/or an MRI. For these scans, they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body. - A small amount of blood (two tubes) will be collected by needle during one visit.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) plus ketoconazole in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. In addition, researchers would like to determine if the drugs are most effective together or if fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) is most effective alone.
This study evaluated outcomes in participants with advanced ovarian epithelial adenocarcinoma receiving aflibercept. The primary objective was to compare the objective response rate of Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®) 4.0 mg/kg and 2.0 mg/kg, administered intravenously (IV) every 2 weeks with historical control in participants with advanced ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) adenocarcinoma resistant to platinum and topotecan and/or liposomal doxorubicin. The secondary objectives was to further assess efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, potential biological and pharmacogenomic markers of study drug activity, and health-related quality of life. This study employed an Independent Review Committee (IRC) for radiological tumor assessments. For all tumor assessment-related efficacy variables, two analyses were performed: the primary analysis was based on Independent Review Committee (IRC) reviewed data and the secondary analysis was based on Investigator evaluation. If an endpoint was evaluated by the IRC, the IRC reviewed data is reported for this study.
