View clinical trials related to Fallopian Tube Cancer.
Filter by:This study will collect patient demographic, oncology history, and physician reported outcome information following the initial round of chemotherapy received after a commercial ChemoFx® Final Report for the generation of hypotheses of potential patient cohorts for further sub-studies.
RATIONALE: There is emerging data to suggest that the optimal use of angiogenesis inhibitors may be in combination with chemotherapy. The optimal use of atrasentan may be in combination with chemotherapy in women with relapsed and refractory ovarian cancer,fallopian tube cancer, and peritoneal serous papillary adenocarcinoma. Due to its manageable toxicity profile, ease of administration, and activity in both platinum sensitive as well as platinum-resistant patients, Doxil has become the 2nd-line treatment of choice for women with advanced stage ovarian cancer that has progressed following 1st-line platinum/taxane therapy. PURPOSE: To determine if a treatment combination of atrasentan + Doxil is an effective 2nd line treatment in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, and total-body irradiation before a donor natural killer cell infusion helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's natural killer cells. Aldesleukin may stimulate the natural killer cells to kill ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer cells. Treating the donor natural killer cells with aldesleukin may help the natural killer cells kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving laboratory-treated donor natural killer cells together with aldesleukin works when given after cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety and tolerability of paclitaxel and carboplatin when given in combination with Avastin to patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Objectives: Primary study goals: To investigate the safety and tolerability of carboplatin and paclitaxel administered IP in combination with IV Avastin To determine if Avastin influences the pharmacokinetics of IP administered chemotherapeutic agents Secondary study goals: To determine the systemic exposure to paclitaxel and carboplatin during initial and late cycles of IP dosing. To collect overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) To determine changes in IP VEGF levels To determine site of first recurrence Information on CA-125 response and clinical response will be descriptive as secondary goals of this study Exploratory goal: To estimate proportion of patients completing entire course of treatment
Ovarian cancer cannot grow without recruiting new blood vessels. Studies in humans have identified a novel cell population, termed vascular leukocytes (VLCs). While VLCs are not cancer cells, they support the growth of ovarian cancer cells by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels which provide the cancer with nutrients. VLCs make a protein termed CD52. An antibody therapeutic, Alemtuzumab (also know as Campath), that kills cells that make the CD52 protein has been successfully used to treat certain lymphomas (a type of blood cell cancer) that make CD52 protein. The purpose of this study is to determine if Alemtuzumab given subcutaneously (under the skin)can be safely given to patients with ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancers to kill VLCs and determine if Alemtuzumab, by eliminating VLCs, can restrict tumor growth or increase response rates to chemotherapy given after the discontinuation of chemotherapy.
Primary Objective: 1. Evaluate the efficacy of letrozole to increase the duration of progression-free survival (defined as time to earliest occurrence of local or distant recurrence or clinically significant elevation in CA-125) when used as adjuvant treatment after completion of primary surgery and first line platinum containing chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (< 1 cm residual disease) stage IIA-IIIC ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Secondary Objective: 1. Observe the incidence of local and distant recurrences.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as Hu3S193, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well Hu3S193 works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cavity cancer.
This was a Phase 1, open-label study of repeated vaccination with NY-ESO-1 overlapping peptides (OLP4) with or without the immunoadjuvants Montanide and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid - poly-L-lysine carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC) administered every 3 weeks for a total of 5 vaccinations in subjects with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer in second or third clinical remission. Study objectives included determination of the safety and immunogenicity following vaccination.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is evaluating DNA mutations in predicting the effect of external-beam radiation therapy in patients with early breast cancer, localized prostate cancer, or gynecologic cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test whether it is safe to treat your cancer with 3 drugs instead of 2 drugs. After surgery, your cancer is typically treated with 2 drugs called cisplatin and paclitaxel (also known as Taxol). Cisplatin is given through a port in your belly, and Taxol is given both through the belly port and through the vein (IV). Large clinical studies have shown that this treatment gives the best results for women with your cancer. This treatment, however, also causes many side effects, especially belly pain, nerve injury, lowering of the immune system, and infection risk. In the study you are being asked to join, the dose of Cisplatin will be lower in order to try to lessen these problems. This study will also test the safety of adding a 3rd drug called bevacizumab (also known as Avastin). This drug has been shown to shrink ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer in some patients who have advanced disease, despite having received prior treatment for their cancer. Therefore, it may also be effective in patients, like you, who have a new diagnosis. Unfortunately, Avastin can cause some dangerous side effects in women with advanced cancer. For instance, it can cause a hole in the intestines, and can increase the risk of blood clots and strokes. Avastin has not been given at the same time as IP therapy, so it is not known if this is a safe or effective combination. In this study, IV Avastin will be given in addition to IP cisplatin, IP Taxol, and IV Taxol, to patients like you who have not had any chemotherapy before. This study aims to find out what effects, good and/or bad, that this combination of drugs has on your body and on your type of cancer.
