Filter by:This is a multicentre, non-interventional, prospective study to be carried out in representative hospitals in order to assess 1st line treatment management and diagnostic approaches applied to ovarian, peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer management in Russia and assess patients` characteristics and the occurrence of BRCA (Breast Cancer gene) mutations among Russian women with serous and endometrioid ovarian, peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer. No additional procedures besides those already used in the routine clinical practice will be applied to the patients. Treatment assignment will be done according to the current practice.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether DCVAC/OvCa added to chemotherapy (carboplatin plus paclitaxel as first line chemotherapy) may result in prolongation of progression free survival (PFS).
The purpose of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of a combined APR-246 and carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen, compared with carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen alone, in patients with platinum sensitive recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) with mutated p53. In addition, the study aims to assess the safety profile of the combined APR-246 and carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen compared with carboplatin/PLD chemotherapy regimen alone, to evaluate potential biomarkers, and to assess the biological activity in tumor and surrogate tissues. The trial will enroll up to a maximum of 400 patients.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the feasibility of a pre-operative and/or post-operative scripted sexual health informational intervention and how well it works in improving sexual function in patients with gynecologic cancer. Discussing sexual outcomes and counseling options with patients may help improve sexual outcomes and/or anxiety after primary gynecologic cancer treatment.
This is an open-label Phase 1b dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of OMP-54F28 when combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin. OMP-54F28 will be administered IV on Days 1 of each 21-day cycle. Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC = 5 mg/mL • min) will be administered IV on Day 1 of each cycle. A total of 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin will be given. Additional cycles may be given as per institutional standard of care after discussion with the Medical Monitor. Treatment with OMP-54F28 will continue after completion of treatment with paclitaxel and carboplatin. The planned dose levels of OMP-54F28 are 5 and 10 mg/kg.
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of the gynecologic oncologists with palliative care specialist collaboration (GO-PC) intervention on patient quality of life.
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.
Epithelial Ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of death among gynaecologic malignancies in western civilized countries, with an estimated prevalence in Europe and the US of 752,600 in 2007 and 59,828 deaths annually. State-of-the-art diagnostic tests for EOC include transvaginal ultrasonography and serum cancer antigen (CA-125) measurements; the specificity of these diagnostic tools however is low, and both tests are not effective enough at detecting EOC early enough to improve clinical outcomes. Definitive diagnosis of EOC still relies on histological or cytological confirmation. These findings underline the importance for an effective test for early detection of EOC. In the current project we will obtain a lavage of the uterine cavity. It will be investigated whether cells from EOCs or genetic material from those cells can be detected in the lavage fluid. Aim of this study: There is a clear clinical need for a diagnosis test to detect EOC at an earlier stage.
Advanced ovarian cancer is a high medical need indication. Cure is not available to these patients and treatment has palliative intent. A proportion of advanced stage ovarian cancer expresses substantial levels of Claudin 6 (CLDN6), a carcino-embryonic transmembrane protein, which is absent from normal adult human tissue. IMAB027 is a monoclonal antibody that binds to CLDN6. Preclinically IMAB027 was shown to inhibit tumor growth and to kill cancer cells by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. This trial is a first-in-human dose escalation and dose finding Phase 1 trial of IMAB027 in patients with recurrent advanced ovarian cancer to assess the safety and tolerability, the pharmacokinetics, the antitumoral activity and the immunogenicity of IMAB027.
The current study aims at answering the scientific question, whether exfoliated cells from STICs get transported into the uterine cavity via the fallopian tube, and whether it is possible to detect those cells in the lavage fluid from the uterine cavity and proximal fallopian tubes. To address this question, the investigators will study 20 lavage samples and their 20 corresponding STIC-positive tissue samples in women who opt for risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (rrBSO) because of increased risk of high grade serous carcinoma of the pelvis (HGSC) (mostly carrying a BRCA mutation), without a history of tubal occlusion for sterilization. Women who opt to have the fallopian tubes removed but the ovaries preserved are eligible for the study too, as are women who opt for rrBSO plus hysterectomy.
