Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies how well web-based coping and communication skills intervention works in improving psychological adaptation in patients with gynecological cancer. Web-based intervention, such as coping and communication skills intervention, may help doctors to get a better understanding of ways to help gynecological cancer patients cope with their cancer experience.
To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the combination of rucaparib, bevacizumab and atezolizumab in recurrent, progressive endometrial carcinoma.
This research study is studying an investigational drug as a possible treatment for uterine cancer. The drug involved in this study is: -AZD1775
Carcinosarcomas (CS) (malignant mixed Müllerian tumors) are highly aggressive and rare tumors with a worldwide annual incidence between 0.5-3.3 cases/100.000 women. Gynecological CS, i.e. ovarian CS (OCS) and uterine CS (UCS), have a 5-year overall survival (OS) < 10% and a poor prognosis. After initial treatment (surgery +/- adjuvant radiotherapies +/- chemotherapies (CT)), vast majority of patients relapsed and received diverse CT producing modest benefits, and nearly all patients will die. After first line CT including platinum salt, monotherapy (doxorubicin or paclitaxel) is frequently used for relapsed patients, but the response rate (RR) is <20%, progression-free survival (PFS) <4 months, and OS <1 year. In this unmet need situation, a better knowledge of these aggressive neoplasms is essential to propose new therapeutic options.
DICE is a randomised study recruiting 126 women over 3 years from hospitals in the UK and Germany. Eligible patients will have tissue based diagnosis of advanced/recurrent ovarian cancer (clear cell, endometrioid or high grade serous or carcinosarcoma), have had chemotherapy before, and be platinum-resistant (the cancer has returned/grown significantly during or within 6 months of platinum-containing chemotherapy).
Many individuals with ovarian cancer experience distress, fatigue, weakness, anxiety, and other symptoms that decrease quality of life. Moderate exercise may improve quality of life, decrease distress, and improve biomarkers associated with prognosis in individuals with ovarian cancer. This clinical trial studies how well moderate exercise works in improving distress, quality of life, and biomarkers of angiogenesis and chronic stress in individuals with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL works in treating patients with ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes MDA-TIL, made by collecting and growing specialized white blood cells (called T-cells) from a patient's tumor, may help to stimulate the immune system in different ways to stop tumor cells from growing.
The COPELIA trial is evaluating two new tablet medications in endometrial cancer for the first time. It will include 129 women aged 16 years or older with advanced endometrial cancer whose cancer has worsened after their initial chemotherapy treatment. Participants will be allocated at random to one of three groups: 1. The first group (Arm 1) will receive a standard (routine) treatment for patients with endometrial cancer known as paclitaxel. This is a chemotherapy drug that is routinely used to treat patients with different cancers including ovarian, breast, lung and endometrial cancer. Paclitaxel works by stopping the growth of cancer cells. 2. The second group (Arm 2) will receive the standard paclitaxel treatment once a week in addition to a new drug called cediranib. Cediranib is a tablet medication and works by blocking new blood vessel formation. Cediranib has been tested in women with endometrial cancer before but not alongside chemotherapy treatment. 3. The third group (Arm 3) will receive two new tablet medications, cediranib and olaparib. Olaparib works by preventing cancer cells repairing DNA effectively. The use of olaparib and cediranib together has been shown to be effective in a common type of ovarian cancer but has not been evaluated as a treatment for endometrial cancer before. The main objectives of the COPELIA trial are to work out: 1. Whether the two new treatments, cediranib-paclitaxel (Arm 2) and cediranib-olaparib (Arm 3) are more effective at controlling endometrial cancer than standard paclitaxel chemotherapy (Arm 1) 2. Whether the two new treatments cause more or fewer side-effects than standard chemotherapy 3. How each of these treatments impact on the daily life of women receiving the treatment by asking trial participants to regularly complete quality of life questionnaires 4. Whether we can learn how these treatments work in women with endometrial cancer by taking some additional blood tests for research.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of mirvetuximab soravtansine and rucaparib camsylate in treating participants with endometrial, ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back. Drugs such as mirvetuximab soravtansine are antibodies linked to a toxic substance and may help find certain tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Rucaparib camsylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving mirvetuximab soravtansine and rucaparib camsylate may work better in treating participants with recurrent endometrial, ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
Uterine sarcomas are rare tumors with a poor prognosis. The main purpose of this phase II proof-of-principle- pilot study is to test the efficacy of the hydroxamic acid-based Histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACI) Vorinostat (SAHA) as monotherapy in patients with HDAC-positive, progressive, metastatic uterine sarcomas and mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumors after prior anti-proliferative therapy.
