Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of belotecan or topotecan in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer (AOC).
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety profile of Cvac for epithelial ovarian cancer patients who were enrolled in the Cvac clinical trial CAN-003 and are no longer eligible for study participation due to disease progression.
The objective of this prospective randomized surgical trial is to evaluate whether the use of the LIGASURE surgical device during omentectomy and/or recto-sigmoid resection for women with ovarian cancer will reduce the surgical time compared to standard surgical resection using clamps and surgical ligatures.
The purpose of this study is: Phase A: To confirm the feasibility of paclitaxel administered by intravenous (IV) infusion weekly plus concurrent carboplatin administered by intraperitoneal (IP) injection once every 3 weeks (dd-TCip therapy). Phase B: To compare the efficacy and safety of the following two treatment regimens as first-line chemotherapy in women with epithelial ovarian, Fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to help us learn how to lower the risk of a blood transfusion during surgery to remove ovarian cancer. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a technique performed in the operating room before the procedure begins that may reduce the risk of needing a transfusion during ovarian cancer surgery. During surgery, the patient's own blood is given back to them when needed, usually due to bleeding. If you don't need blood during surgery, your own blood will be given back at the end of the case. The idea behind ANH is that that by removing the blood and replacing it with other fluids, the remaining blood becomes diluted. This diluted blood is then lost during surgery, usually due to bleeding. The original non-diluted blood is then transfused back as needed. This may mean a lower chance of needing an additional blood transfusion. ANH has been studied at this hospital for other types of cancer. These studies suggest that ANH may help conserve blood. Although most studies suggest that ANH can be performed safely, one study showed that ANH could be associated with a higher rate of serious bowel complications than standard treatment. In this study, patients who underwent ANH had a higher rate of anastomotic leaks during bowel surgery. An anastomotic leak occurs when two ends of bowel that have been cut and sewn back together (the anastomosis), fall apart. The investigators don't know whether ANH will result in higher rates of anastomotic leaks in patients having ovarian cancer surgery. In fact, in another study evaluating ANH in patients having the kind of bowel resections that often occur in ovarian cancer surgery (the colon), no increased risk of anastomotic leaks was observed. For these reasons, researchers at MSKCC are conducting a study to find out if ANH can be used safely in patients undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer.
Estrogens are implicated in the development of ovarian cancer and estrogen receptors (ER) alpha and beta are present in 20-100% of ovarian cancer patients. For this reason, antihormonal therapy with anti-estrogens or ER-antagonists is potentially an attractive treatment option. However, only a small proportion of patients (5-19%) will respond to antihormonal therapy. ER-expression in ER-positive breast cancer can be assessed by positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]fluoroestradiol (FES). In this study the investigators will evaluate whether FES-PET can be used to visualize and quantify ER-expression in ovarian cancer. If these results are positive, this would warrant further exploration of FES-PET imaging in ovarian cancer.
The current trial shall clarify the potential of the multitarget antiangiogenic tyrosinkinase inhibitor GW 786034 (pazopanib) in combination with oral cyclophosphamide as salvage treatment in patients with recurrent, pretreated ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with p53 mutated epithelial ovarian cancer that have been treated with first line treatment (paclitaxel - carboplatin combination therapy) and that have shown early relapse (within 3 months) or progression during treatment will benefit from treatment with Wee-1 inhibitor MK-1775 and carboplatin. Additional safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity cohort (first patient in 2017): To determine the safety and preliminary anti-tumor activity (RECIST 1.1) of AZD1775 in combination with carboplatin in platinum resistant p53 mutated epithelial ovarian cancer (relapse within 6 months), NSCLC, SCLC, cervical, and endometrial cancer, in a 21 day schedule.
This study is to determine the feasibility of administering neoadjuvant carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab without excessive dose modification or cycle delay in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. This study will also investigate the rate of optimal cytoreduction, response rate and progression free and overall survival, and to assess the quality of life for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer treated with neoadjuvant carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab.
The Novel Markers Trial will compare the safety, feasibility and effectiveness of two different epithelial ovarian cancer screening strategies that use CA125 and add HE4 as either a first or second line screen. This study is the next step in a larger research effort to develop a blood test that can be used as a screening method for the early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer.
