Filter by:Comparison of olaparib vs. physician's choice of single agent standard of care non-platinum based chemotherapy in patients with germline Breast Cancer susceptibility gene (gBRCA) mutated ovarian cancer who have progressed at least 6 months after the last platinum based chemotherapy. Patient should have received at least 2 prior lines of platinum based chemotherapy. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of olaparib tablets.
The objective of this study is to develop and test a new decision aid -named Patient Centered Outcome Aid (PCOA)-that will allow patients to assimilate information and identify trade-offs about the impact of IP/IV therapy versus IV-only therapy on their QOL and survival, based on their own preferences and personal clinical characteristics, described in terms that are meaningful to them. To accomplish this, the investigators will 1)develop the PCOA, a patient- and provider-friendly decision aid and 2)test the effectiveness of PCOA through a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The investigators hypothesize that PCOA will be significantly better than usual care, resulting in patients reporting more satisfaction with their treatment decision, less decision regret, better quality of life, and more satisfaction with their care compared with similar patients not having access to PCOA. If these hypotheses are substantiated, patients and providers will have an improved model for communication and decision making, leading to better patient outcomes.
This study will be the first prospective study enrolling consecutive patients with advanced ovarian cancer to determine the prevalence of thoracic and extra-abdominal involvement in this patient group and the relative value of gated PET and CT for diagnosing extra-abdominal involvement. This study will also answer a number of other stil unanswered questions: the impact of gating and the impact of gated PET on clinical management of patients with advanced ovarian cancer. This study also individualises patients' treatment to allow patients who may benefit most form optimal surgical cytoreduction and those who are better treated by neoadjuvant
This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, feasibility phase 2 trial on safety and efficacy of short-course regimen of intra-operative Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) at the time of fast-track interval debulking surgery (IDS) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for high tumor burden epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
The aim of this prospective registration and translational research study is to evaluate the praevalence of BRCA regarding germline and somatic mutations.
The French cooperative group GINECO proposes to implement an observational study to describe a real situation, in daily practice tolerance and methods of administration of trabectedin (Yondelis®)-Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin(Caelyx)®, in ovarian platinum sensitive cancer relapse.
Phase I study to establish safety and feasibility of intravenously administered lentiviral transduced CART-meso cells administered with and without cyclophosphamide in a 3+3 dose escalation design in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer, serous epithelial ovarian cancer, or pleural mesothelioma. Dose: 1-3xE7 /mE2 (Cohort 1 and 2) and 1-3xE8 /mE2 (Cohort 3 and 4 ) CAR+ T cells by intravenous route. In the event of 2 DLTs at each dose level, we will dose deescalate by 10-fold.
Use of oral contraceptives (OCs) reduces a woman's risk of ovarian cancer very significantly and the protective effect continues for at least 25 years after use of OCs is stopped; the mechanisms of how this occurs are not understood. We are proposing here to directly study the effect of OCs on the fallopian tube and inclusion cysts within the ovary - sites from which most ovarian cancers are thought to arise - in order to better understand the mechanistic basis for OC protection against ovarian cancer. We think the protection results from reduced cell proliferation. It will lay the foundation for further studies to ensure that the protection against ovarian cancer afforded by 'traditional' OCs is not lost with alterations in OC formulation, and, if possible, to guide development of OC formations to improve further on the protection afforded by OCs.
The purpose of this research study is to learn if differences seen in scans before surgery match differences seen when looking at tumor samples with pathology and genetic tests. In this study we will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] and Positron Emission Tomography [PET] scans. No direct clinical benefits will come from the results of this study.
This non-therapeutic trial is for women who have received results of genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations. The trial compares decision support tools designed to facilitate informed decision making regarding risk management following testing to usual care. The researchers will test separate decision support tools for women who receive positive test results and women who receive negative/inconclusive test results. Among women who receive a positive test result, an interactive decision support intervention will be compared to a print intervention. Among women who receive an inconclusive result, an interactive intervention will be compared to usual care.
