Filter by:Young female counselees (18-40 years) belonging to HBOC families with a known mutation on BRCA-genes or not, receive a lot of information regarding their cancer risk. Information sources are numerous and sometimes contradictory. Unfortunately, these women face these issues at a key moment of there identity construction (self, relationship, sexuality) while they are not yet concerned by health prevention measures. A special psychoeducational intervention was designed to help these women to better cope with these difficulties. Intervention consists in a week-end session in a thermal center (SPA) during which they will attend short conferences given by specialists (prevention measures, prophylactic surgery, assisted procreation, epidemiology...) and participate to role games and group sharing. Intervention will be evaluated using self-questionnaires completed before intervention and during the following year.
This 2-part, Phase 1/2 study will test investigational cancer drugs known as CRS-207, epacadostat (IDO), and pembrolizumab (pembro). The purpose of this study is to find out how safe it is to give the investigational drugs to women with platinum-resistant ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer and if it helps patients with these types of cancer live longer or can help shrink or slow the growth of cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BAX69 monotherapy given either as intraperitoneal (IP) infusion (Single-Route Arm); or as IP infusion after intravenous (IV) infusion (IV+IP) (Double-Route Arm), and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for each Arm separately, in subjects with refractory ovarian cancer and recurrent malignant ascites. In both Arms, the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of BAX69 will be characterized, and pharmacodynamics (PD) markers will be explored in plasma and ascites. Two expansion cohorts will further assess the tolerability of the RP2D and explore clinical signs of efficacy.
This is a randomized pilot trial to test the addition of 2 investigational agents, Montanide and poly-ICLC (a TLR3 agonist) to a backbone of autologous oxidized tumor cell lysate vaccine (OC-L) administered with GMCSF in subjects with primary epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
This research study is studying a possible test which may help doctors diagnose women with ovarian cancer.
This was an open-label, single-arm, Phase II study in which amcasertib (BBI503) was administered to adult, asymptomatic patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who had elevated CA-125.
BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are implicated in 10-15% of ovarian cancer cases, increased to 22% germline BRCA1/2 mutation frequency in patients with high grade serous histology subtype, including those women who have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. With the rapid advancement of therapeutics targeted this population, this protocol seeks to provide genetic BRCA1/2 screening to all patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer. This information may help in selection of future treatment options and genetic testing for BRCA1/2 may be used to potentially prevent a proportion of cancer for the family members. This study will be an opportunity for patient to improve access at genetic and molecular testing for BRCA1/2 mutation which could impact her future treatment option. Moreover, this study will allow to prospectively assess the proportion of patients with BRCA mutation in ovarian cancer and describe the type of mutations identified in a large population.
Background: - The new drug BMN 673 (talazoparib) has been shown to fight tumor cells in animals and some people. It is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor. It works on tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair process. Researchers want to see if BMN 673 shrinks cancer again in women with ovarian cancer and whose cancer initially got shrunk but grew back on the first PARP inhibitor. Objective: - To study BMN 673 (talazoparib) in people with ovarian cancer born with a breast cancer (BRCA) mutation and whose cancer got shrunk but became worse after they took a similar drug. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years old: - with recurrent and/or metastatic germline breast cancer mutation (gBRCAm)-associated ovarian cancer AND - whose disease is growing after already being treated with PARP inhibitors AND - with no other treatment(s) in between the first PARP inhibitors and a screening visit. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and heart and blood tests. - Participants will take the study drug by mouth once daily. They will take the drug in 28-day cycles. - They will keep a diary of doses and any side effects. - Participants will have 4 study visits in cycle 1, then 1 visit every cycle. Visits may include: - Blood tests - Physical exam - Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body. - Ultrasound - Participants will have a biopsy before starting the study drug. A small piece of tumor tissue will be removed by needle, guided by a scan. They may have two more biopsies later. - Participants will be followed for 30 days after taking the last dose of study drug. A physical exam, blood tests, and CT or other scans will be done. - Participants will have follow-up calls to ask about any side effects.
Background: - All cells go through cycles which allow them to divide. In normal cells, checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) (CHEK 2 (Chk1/2) stop cell division at various points to allow any damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be repaired. - When Chk1/2 are not present, cells stop dividing and eventually die. Chk1/2 Inhibitor (Prexasertib (LY2606368) blocks the Chk1/2 proteins. - Researchers hope that by blocking Chk1/2, it will cause tumor cells to die, thereby shrinking tumors. Objective: - To see if LY2606368 helps shrink tumors in patients with certain breast, ovarian or prostate cancers. Eligibility: - Participants at least 18 years old with breast or ovarian cancer. They must have a mutation in BRCA1 BReast CAncer gene 1 and BRCA2 BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA1/2) genes for group 1, high grade serious ovarian cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 2, or triple negative breast cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 3, or prostate cancer with or without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 4. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, scans, and X-rays. They will have a piece of their tumor removed at entry (computed tomography (CT)-assisted biopsy). - Study Day 1: Participants will have a physical exam and blood drawn. They may have a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. - Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle: Participants will receive the study drug through an intravenous (IV). - Vital signs will be checked before and after. An ECG will be done within 1 hour after. - Day 15 and Day 28: Participants will have a physical exam, blood drawn, and a 12 lead ECG. - Cycle 1: Participants will have weekly phone calls and blood draws. Participants may have another CT-assisted biopsy at the end of cycle 1. - Cycle 2 and beyond, blood will be drawn every other week for routine blood tests. - Participants will have an after-study visit with a physical exam and blood tests. Participants may have another biopsy when they progressed on treatment. They will have scans of the chest, pelvis, and abdomen and a 12 lead ECG.
The first part of this study is to find the recommended dosages of a combination of two drugs: pazopanib and fosbretabulin, which will be given to female patients with relapsed ovarian cancer. The second part of the study involves comparing the recommended dose of pazopanib and fosbretabulin in combination against pazopanib alone in female patients with relapsed ovarian cancer to determine whether the combination is more beneficial that pazopanib on it's own.
