Filter by:This is a Phase 3, open label, randomized study designed to compare the safety and efficacy of mirvetuximab soravtansine to that of selected single-agent chemotherapy (Investigator's choice) in women with platinum-resistant FR-alpha positive advanced EOC, primary peritoneal cancer and/or fallopian tube cancer.
This study comprises a Dose Escalation phase followed by a Dose Expansion phase. Dose Escalation part of the study will assess the safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) as the recommended Phase 2 (RP2D) dose for each regimen. Participants will be assigned to one of the 4 regimens in Dose Escalation phase: Regimen A: mirvetuximab soravtansine administered with bevacizumab; Regimen B: mirvetuximab soravtansine administered with carboplatin; Regimen C: mirvetuximab soravtansine administered with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin; or Regimen D: mirvetuximab soravtansine administered with pembrolizumab. Dose Expansion of the study will further assess safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of mirvetuximab soravtansine. A Dose Expansion phase is planned for Regimen A and Regimen D and will open pending Sponsor decision; participants enrolled in the Dose Expansion phase will receive study treatment at the MTD or RP2D determined during Dose Escalation. For Regimen A, participants in the Dose Expansion phase may be enrolled according to prior exposure to bevacizumab into 3 Dose Expansion Cohorts as follows: 1) Dose Expansion Cohort 1: bevacizumab naïve; 2) Dose Expansion Cohort 2: bevacizumab pretreated; and 3) Dose Expansion Cohort 3: one to three prior treatments, one of which could have been bevacizumab. A triplet Regimen (Regimen E: mirvetuximab soravtansine + bevacizumab + carboplatin) will be opened to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to assess any early signs of activity in participants dosed with the combination regimen. All mirvetuximab soravtansine doses were calculated according to adjusted ideal body weight.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and one year disease-free survival of total or subtotal colectomy and proctocolectomy in stage IIIc and stage IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer (EOC, FTC, PPC).
This is an observational and sample collection study involving patients (alive or deceased) from several clinical trials who had received the investigational drug, olaparib in other research studies. There is no intervention given for this study. This research is being done to understand of the mechanisms involved in patients whose cancer responds well and whose cancer does not respond well to investigational drug, olaparib, to help better understand how olaparib works and to better identify patients who may benefit from this therapy.
The combination of optimal cytoreductive operation (according to Desktop II criteria), HIPEC with Carboplatin 800 mg/m² KOF (Körperoberfläche) and following platinum-based systemic chemotherapy should be executed In patients with platinum-sensitive recurrence of ovarian carcinoma. Condition for HIPEC is attainment of optimal cytoreduction (R0) and experts judgement of a complication-free prolongation of narcosis after finishing the surgery. HIPEC will be administered additionally to standard therapy. If HIPEC was executed the number of systemic given platinum-based chemotherapy decreases for one cycle. This regime should be investigated in terms of safety of performance, quality of life for the patients and consequences for the following systemic chemotherapy.
This dose escalation study will determine a maximum tolerated dose and/or optimal biological dose of GEN-1 for carboplatin/paclitaxel combination in newly diagnosed ovarian cancer.
Combination-type oral contraceptives (COCs) have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of invasive epithelial ovarian cancer (IEOC); this protective effect may be achieved to a large extent through COCs ability to reduce cell proliferation in the fallopian tube fimbriae (FTF). The progestin-releasing Mirena® intra-uterine device (IUD) is an increasingly popular method of contraception, but it is not known if its use will reduce a woman's risk of IEOC. Mirena® use does not block ovulation in most women but it may release sufficient progestin to also reduce cell proliferation in the FTF. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the Mirena® IUD on cell proliferation in the FTF as a possible biomarker of protection against IEOC.
Surgery for ovarian cancer involves a big cut on your tummy (abdomen) followed by removal of pelvic organs (womb, tubes and ovaries), abdominal organs (fat tissue {omentum}, appendix) and any other tissues involved with cancer. Several studies worldwide have reported that women survive longer and enjoy a longer disease free interval before their disease returns if all visible disease is removed at the time of their surgery. Achieving this is not easy and often there is widespread disease and the surgeons are unable to remove every tumour nodule present as it is attached to the surface of the bowel, diaphragm and other important Extensive surgery with prolonged operating is associated with higher risks. Plasma energy is commonly referred to as the 4th state of matter after solid, liquid and gas. When a gas is heated, it partially or wholly ionizes resulting in high energy particles like ions, electrons and atoms referred to as 'plasma'. PlasmaJet® (PJ) is a new device which uses fine jet of neutral argon plasma from the handpiece that has been shown to have the ability to vaporise nodules close to sensitive organs like the bowel. It may offer the potential to treat the tumour nodules close to sensitive areas like the bowel. There have been no studies exploring its role in vaporising tumour nodules and its impact on survival. The PJ may be used by the surgeon to seal bleeding tissues (coagulate) or to burn away thin layers of tissue (ablate) by vaporization. It is licensed for use to achieve effects of coagulation and ablation. It is similar to conventional surgical devices that are routinely used (called diathermy) to achieve these effects. The PJ however is slightly different in that it may also be used on tissue to vaporise tumour nodules in women with ovarian cancer during surgery though the full extent of this role remains unclear.
This is a phase 0/phase I feasibility trial to test the hypothesis that flaxseed supplementation is an effective maintenance therapy for patients with ovarian cancer who are in clinical remission following platinum-based regimens. The investigators further hypothesize levels of estrogen metabolites and prostaglandin E2 in this patient population will correlate with recurrence of disease, extent of tumor burden, invasion and metastasis.
This project is part of a large multicenter multidisciplinary program that will thoroughly explore the needs and difficulties of patients with BCR as well as those involved in their care. The results of this research program will propose recommendations for better structure and understand the follow up of these patients. From the limited data in the literature, the long-term remission in patients with ovarian cancer reported a significant and persistent fatigue, poor QoL, disorders of sexuality as well as somatic and mental illness; consumption is also a medical records for these patients. In this context, our team has initiated a large case-control study to assess fatigue (identified major problem in the long-term remission in patients with ovarian cancer), QoL and rehabilitation of patients in remission from an epithelial ovarian cancer (regardless of the stage of cancer at diagnosis, early or advanced) 3 years after the initial treatment, compared with women of the same age without ovarian cancer or serious chronic disease , from the general population. Patients and controls complement standardized and validated self-administered questionnaire (part 1). This study investigated 215 patients in long remission from ovarian cancer compared to 215 women of the same age without cancer. Recruitment of patients is currently underway, in close collaboration with teams from the Group GINECO very involved in this project. Following this step, an additional component is planned: it is to offer patients who participated in part 1, a specific gynecological consultation to assess in detail the effects of the treatments in order to better meet the needs of patients .dropoff window
