Filter by: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.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and vaccine therapy in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vaccines made from a peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells
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 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.
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.
Ovarian cancer accounts for more deaths than any other gynecologic malignancy. The majority of patients are diagnosed with Stage III-IV disease. Nearly 80% of these patients will recur resulting in 5-year survival rates of 14-32%. Although enrollment is increasing in hospice, hospice programs have been challenged to reach eligible patients. Several factors limit the number of people who enroll in hospice and the length of their hospice stay. Prognostication challenges and the increasing availability of cancer therapies for people with cancer set the stage for a mismatch between certification of a 6 month prognosis and contemporary medical care. Additionally patients often are not aware of hospice and the services they can provide.
