Filter by:Background: Tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers, such as cancer of the appendix, colon, or ovary, are called peritoneal carcinomatosis. In most cases, outcomes are poor. Researchers want to test a new treatment. Objective: To learn if the combination of oral nilotinib plus paclitaxel given by IV and directly into the abdomen can reduce tumors enough for people to have surgery. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 and older with peritoneal carcinomatosis that is too widespread for surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medical history Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram Laparoscopy. They will get general anesthesia. Small cuts will be made in their abdomen. Tissue and fluid samples will be taken. Surveys about their health CT scans of their torso Participants will have up to 4 more laparoscopies. During the first procedure, a port will be placed under the skin of their abdomen (an IP port). It will be attached to a catheter that is placed in their abdomen. Participants will get treatment in 3-week cycles, for 3 or 6 cycles. They will take nilotinib by mouth twice daily. They will get paclitaxel by IP port (once per cycle) and by IV (twice per cycle). After cycles 3 and 6, they will have a laparoscopy and CT scans. Then they may take nilotinib and get IV paclitaxel for up to 1 year. At study visits, participants will repeat some screening tests. About 6 weeks after treatment ends and then every 3 months for 3 years, participants will have follow-up visits at NIH or with their local doctor.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of the investigational drug PLX2853 in Advanced Gynecological Malignancies with a Known ARID1A Mutation and PLX2853/Carboplatin Combination Therapy in Platinum-Resistant Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.
This is a Phase Ib, open-label, non-randomized study in patients with previously treated advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer (Part 1) and platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (Part 2) to investigate the dose, safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of rucaparib in combination with atezolizumab. The study is conducted in 2 parts: a Dose-Finding Phase (Part 1) and a Dose-Expansion Phase (Part 2)
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an important cause of post-operative morbidity and mortality in women undergoing surgery for gynecologic malignancies. Although the benefit of thromboprophylaxis in reduction of post-operative VTE events after surgery for gynecologic cancers has been well documented around the world, the evidence for Chinese women is rare. The investigators designed this prospective and randomized study to assess the benefit of pharmacologic prophylaxis for patients received surgical treatment for gynecologic malignancies in China.
At Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the investigators have developed a novel curriculum for a 6-week psycho-educationally-based, cognitive behavioral program to help patients with subjective cognitive complaints after cancer treatment, titled Emerging from the Haze™ (Haze). Each series meets once a week for 2-2.5 hours for 6 weeks. The objective of this study is to quantify the impact of a trainee-taught Emerging from the Haze course on gynecologic cancer survivors' self-report of cognitive changes based on the change of FACT-Cog score.
To evaluate whether formal referral to The Symptom Management and Supportive Care Clinic improves symptom burden in advanced stage or recurrent gynecologic oncology chemotherapy patients compared with symptom management performed by the primary gynecologic oncologist.
The ultimate goal of the study is to identify potential biomarkers, immune gene expression signatures, and co-stimulatory pathways that may be used to understand the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors on gynecologic cancers.
Pulse pressure variation (PPV) is a well-known and widely used dynamic preload indicator based on heart-lung interaction to predict fluid responsiveness. Generally, patients are considered to be fluid-responsive when the PPV value larger than 11-13%. However, several previous researches demonstrated that there is a zone of uncertainty (grey zone) in PPV. To predict fluid-responsiveness accurately in the patients with PPV within grey zone (9-13%), the investigators would evaluate the augmented PPV using augmented ventilation.
The purpose of the study is to test whether the use of a new wound closure technique can decrease the rates of wound complications in obese cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to give a regular diet as the first postoperative meal in patients who underwent surgical treatment for clinically early-stage gynecologic cancer.
