Filter by:Molecularly targeted agents which inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and/or circumvent p53 in the induction of apoptosis are exciting potential targets in ovarian cancer. Metformin is a biguanide, widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, that has shown anti-cancer activity in preclinical studies. The main mechanism of metformin's effect is mTOR pathway inhibition and, in addition, it has been shown to circumvent p53-induced apoptosis making it an exciting, potentially effective drug in ovarian cancer.
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.
Community hospital based phase II (prospective randomized) study to evaluate the toxicity of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in newly diagnosed, otherwise untreated, advanced stage (stage III/IV) epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.
This study is to determine the feasibility of postoperative platinum-based chemotherapy plus adjuvant and maintenance bevacizumab after neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval surgery in patients with extensive stage IIIC or IV ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal cancer.
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynaecological malignancy causing 41900 deaths annually in Europe. The predominance of aggressive Type II tumours, which are characterised by a high frequency of p53 mutations, and primary or acquired resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy profoundly contribute to the high mortality rate. With current standard therapy the median overall survival of metastatic platinum-resistant (Pt-R) ovarian cancer patients is only 14 month. There is a pressing need for more effective, innovative treatment strategies to particularly improve survival in this subgroup of EOC patients. This is a drug strategy targeting a central driver of tumour aggressiveness and metastatic ability, namely mutant p53, via an innovative new Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) inhibition mechanism. The most advanced, second-generation Hsp90 inhibitor will be used, Ganetespib. The first part (Phase I) of the GANNET53 trial will test the safety of Ganetespib in a new combination with standard chemotherapy (Paclitaxel weekly) in Pt-R EOC patients. The second part (randomised Phase II) will examine the efficacy of Ganetespib in combination with standard chemotherapy versus standard chemotherapy alone in EOC patients with Pt-R tumours.
The purpose of this study is to determine which patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer will best respond to treatment with rucaparib.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of systematic identification and genetic counseling referral on rates of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (surgery to remove both fallopian tubes and ovaries) in women having mammograms at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, WA.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness between CAELYX and topotecan hydrochloride (HCl) in Chinese participants with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma following failure of first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy, who have received no more than one prior platinum-based regimen therapy.
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 bevacizumab (Avastin ®)
This study will test the hypothesis that adding pegylated IFN (IFN)a-2b to denileukin diftitox improves the potential of denileukin diftitox alone to deplete regulatory T cells (Tregs) and will thereby boost tumor immunity in patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancers, enhancing treatment efficacy.
