Filter by:The current standard treatment for ovarian cancer, tubal cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer is maximal cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy. Recent randomized trials of Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) revealed the survival gain in intraperitoneal chemotherapy compared to the intravenous chemotherapy after the optimal cytoreduction in ovarian cancer (GOG#104, GOG#114, GOG#172). Experts attributed such survival gain to the earlier cycles of intraperitoneal chemotherapy when adhesion was minimal from extensive cytoreductive procedures. Hyperthermia has an anti-cancer activity itself. Especially, hyperthermia promotes chemotherapy to penetrate deeper into the cancer tissue. Therefore, the combination of intraperitoneal chemotherapy with hyperthermia theoretically could lead to higher response rate and better survival outcomes. *HIPEC: hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy There will be an interim analysis when 50% of patients are enrolled. At the interim analysis, a statistical test will be performed. The nominal significance levels will be determined later. The exact nominal significance level will be determined based on the exact number of events at the time of the interim analysis. The Stopping boundaries will be calculated using an O'Brien-Fleming error spending function
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of an investigational therapeutic agent (Cvac)in ovarian cancer patients in first or second remission and to determine its ability to prevent cancer from returning.
An open label extension of the MORAb-003-002 study in order to continue the active patients in the MORAb-003-002 study on maintenance MORAb-003 infusions after the main study is closed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether combination therapy with farletuzumab (MORAb-003), carboplatin, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is safe.
The primary purpose of this study is to explore the safety and tolerability of AZD0530 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in Japanese patients with non small cell lung cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer.
RATIONALE: Paclitaxel is one of the most widely used human anticancer agents. Paclitaxel has a low degree of solubility and Cremophor EL is typically used as the solubiliser. Cremophor EL is known to cause hypersensitivity reactions that can be life-threatening. As Paclical® does not contain Cremophor EL, hypersensitivity reactions can be expected to be less. PURPOSE: To study the efficay and safety of two different formulations of paclitaxel, Paclical® and Taxol®.
Most studies performing hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy dose the cytotoxic drugs according to the body surface (like 50 mg/m² cisplatin) in analogy to systemic, intravenous chemotherapy (usually using the same dose). Although there seems to be a correlation between body surface and blood volume, the pharmacodynamics of drugs dosed by the body surface is still highly variable and thus dosing on the body surface is increasingly considered controversial for systemic administration. For hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy dosing by the body surface makes even less sense, since the aim is the highest possible drug concentration in the peritoneum without undue local and systemic toxicity. Furthermore, most studies using intraoperative chemotherapy vary the volume of the perfusate according to the size of the patient. Since the amount of cytotoxic drug is already fixed by the dosing on the body surface (amount [mg] = dose [mg/m²] x body surface [m²]) the effective concentration (mg/l) in the perfusate can vary considerably between patients. On the other hand pharmacokinetic analyses have shown that reducing the concentration of the cytotoxic drug in the perfusate reduces the efficacy even if the amount of the drug remains the same. In this study the safety of a new dosing regime will be evaluated. The concentration of cisplatin in the perfusate will be held constant independent of body weight or size to achieve the highest effectiveness of the chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is the safety of the treatment. All patients should be able to receive full dose systemic carboplatin chemotherapy after completion the trial treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intraperitoneal (IP) Cisplatin combined with intravenous (IV) Paclitaxel is well tolerated in women with epithelial ovarian cancer who have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by initial debulking surgery.
This study tests whether denileukin diftitox will deplete regulatory T cells, boost tumor-specific immunity and treat epithelial ovarian cancer in patients who have failed, or who are ineligible for front line therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the response rate in platinum-resistant, KRAS wild-type, ovarian cancer patients who are treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx®) in combination with biological treatment panitumumab (Vectibix®).
