Filter by:The purpose of this research is to study Vitamin D3 replacement for patients at high risk of developing ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer, and see if the Vitamin D3 replacement may be able to prevent the cancer. This study is being done because in the United States ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women with gynecologic cancer. Women with BRCA mutations, a personal history of breast cancer, and a family history of breast and ovarian cancer are at high risk of developing ovarian, fallopian, and primary peritoneal cancer. Novel treatments other than surgery which can decrease the risk of developing ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer are important. Vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of developing bladder, breast, colon, endometrial, esophageal, gallbladder, gastric, lung, pancreatic, prostate, rectal, renal, vulvar and Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it may play a role in the prevention of ovarian cancer.
This study is designed to determine whether an oral perioperative medication (alvimopan--a selective mu antagonist) improves bowel recovery over placebo after surgery for ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of a pain medication called ketorolac (Toradol) on ovarian cancer cells in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity after surgery for ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to see if BIBF 1120 can increase the number of women with bevacizumab resistant, persistent, or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who do not progress for at least six months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of an additional intraperitoneal chemotherapy with cisplatin and etoposide in bulky advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
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 research study is a way of gaining new knowledge about a drug called olaparib in women who have either: 1)never received a PARP inhibitor before to treat ovarian cancer (group 1) or 2)participants who have received a PARP inhibitor before to treat ovarian cancer, with the exception of olaparib (group 2). PARP inhibitors are drugs tht prevent cancer cells from repairing their DNA. In this research study, we are looking to see how well the drug olaparib works in women who have never received a PARP inhibitor for recurrent ovarian cancer as well as those who have received a prior PARP inhibitor and whose cancer has re-grown after receiving that PARP inhibitor.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility, tolerability and safety of surgical debulking and resection with heated intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) followed by repeated intraperitoneal chemotherapy for treatment of recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube carcinomas.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. In addition to studying safety, Phase II clinical trials test if the investigational drug is effective and whether the drug works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the drug is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it-such as the safest dose to use, the side effects it may cause, and if the drug is effective for treating different types of cancer. It also means that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not yet approved CRLX101 for your type of cancer. Camptothecin is a chemical extracted from plants that is the basis for the standard FDA-approved chemotherapy drugs irinotecan and topotecan. Camptothecin works by interfering with the way cells divide and multiply. The investigational drug CRLX101 is a formulation of camptothecin and a large molecule (nanoparticle)that appears to allow more of the camptothecin to get into tumors and stay in tumors. The persistence of the CRLX101 in the tumor may increase the probability that the tumor cells will be damaged. CRLX101 has been well tolerated in the laboratory and in participants with different kinds of cancer. Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a VEGF inhibitor which has activity in many kinds of cancer. Bevacizumab has been successfully combined with many chemotherapy partners. It has been hypothesized that the combination of bevacizumab with CRLX101 might have unique clinical activity in combination in the treatment of this disease due to the simultaneous inhibition of distinct steps along the HIF → (CAIX) → VEGF → VEGFR2 pathway. Specifically, it is hypothesized that CRLX101-mediated inhibition of HIF-1α carries with it the potential to interrupt hypoxia and HIF-1α-associated resistance to VEGFR inhibitors. It is hoped that this combination will work to treat your type of cancer.
