Filter by:RATIONALE: Collecting samples of tissue from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment with certain chemotherapy drugs and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at tumor tissue samples to predict response to chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vandetanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether docetaxel is more effective when given alone or together with vandetanib. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying docetaxel given together with or without vandetanib to see how well it works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
This study is being done to see if most patients are willing and able to report how they are feeling after surgery using the internet, and if this information can help doctors and nurses detect concerning symptoms after surgery. This study uses a special new website called WEBCORE. Patients can logon to WEBCORE and answer questions about how they are feeling. Then, doctors and nurses can look at this information during clinic appointments. We are doing this study to see if WEBCORE is a helpful way for us to keep track of information about how patients are feeling and quality of life. If WEBCORE is helpful, we will use it in the future to collect more information about patients' symptoms and quality of life. We can use what we learn to help find better ways of helping patients to prepare for what they will go through while they recover from surgery.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how the participant's disease (ovarian, primary peritoneal serous, fallopian tube, or papillary serous endometrial cancer) responds to additional treatment with Avastin (bevacizumab). Participants have already received Avastin as part of maintenance therapy for their cancer. Maintenance therapy is a medical therapy that is given to people to prevent a relapse. However, cancer may return after maintenance therapy. This research study hopes to determine whether additional treatment with Avastin will be effective in treating the participant's cancer.
The goals of this study were to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequentially blocking the angiogenesis pathway via known antiangiogenic mechanisms, first with bevacizumab and then addition of oral cyclophosphamide upon progression of cancer through bevacizumab. The drugs used in this study were chosen because of their known antiangiogenic properties, tolerability, and anti-ovarian cancer effects.
Ovarian cancer patients are often at risk of malnutrition because of weight loss, lack of appetite and reduced food intake. Being malnourished can contribute to the incidence and severity of cancer treatment side effects and increase the risk of infection. Currently patients with advanced ovarian cancer do not receive early nutrition using a feeding tube. The purpose of this study is to compare enteral nutrition along with standard post-surgery care against current standard post-operative care alone. This study will see if early nutrition using a feeding tube has an impact on length of hospital admission, recovery from surgery, complications from surgery, nutritional status and ultimately a reduction in treatment costs in people with Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC). Primary Peritoneal Cancer (PPC) or Fallopian Tube Cancer. Nutritional support has been shown to ; - Prevent and treat under-nutrition, - Enhance anti-tumour treatment effects, - Reduce adverse effects of anti-tumour therapies, - Improve quality of life.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of topotecan in treating patients with gynecologic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known which treatment regimen may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving one of two chemotherapy regimens containing carboplatin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel works in treating patients undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed primary stage IIIC or stage IV ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
This was a Phase 1, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study of the ALVAC(2)-NY-ESO-1(M)/TRICOM vaccine administered with the granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) sargramostim in patients with NY-ESO-1- or LAGE-1-positive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancers who had completed standard therapy for primary or recurrent disease and would have normally entered a period of observation. The primary study objective was to determine the safety and tolerability of study vaccination, with secondary objectives including the determination of clinical and immunological responses.
The purpose of this research study is to collect tumor samples at the time of surgery and store them for possible use as part of an experimental vaccine study for the participants cancer in the future.
