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.
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.
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 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 ®)
Background: - Birinapant is an experimental cancer treatment drug. It removes certain proteins in cells, which helps to kill the cells. The drug is more likely to cause the death of cancer cells than normal cells because cancer cells have more of these proteins. Studies suggest that it can help treat ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Researchers want to see how well Birinapant works against the three types of cancer. Objectives: - To test the effectiveness of Birinapant for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. Tumor tissue samples may be collected before treatment. Imaging studies will also be performed. - Participants will have an infusion of Birinapant once per week for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a break for a week on the fourth week. This 4-week schedule is one cycle of treatment. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Another optional tumor biopsy will be collected 6 weeks after the start of treatment. - Treatment will continue as long as the cancer does not grow and the side effects are not severe.
The purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival of patients treated with VTX-2337 + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) versus those treated with PLD alone in women with recurrent or persistent, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. VTX-2337, a small molecule agonist of Toll-like Receptor 8 (TLR8), activates multiple components of the innate immune system and is being developed as a novel therapeutic agent for use in oncology. Experimental data obtained in an animal model of ovarian cancer supports the combination of VTX-2337 with PLD. In this model, the combination of VTX-2337 and PLD resulted in a significant reduction in tumor growth compared to either agent alone and an increase in the number of T lymphocytes infiltrating the tumor. The combination of PLD and VTX-2337 has been tested in a small number of women with ovarian cancer in a Phase 1b study and appears to be generally well-tolerated.
A study for women with ovarian cancer that has returned at least 6 months after platinum-based chemotherapy.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer will receive investigational study drug MEK162 and paclitaxel. Patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in combination with paclitaxel in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Patients will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 36 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.
