Filter by:The investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of delivering online, adaptive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided and gated stereotactic body radiation therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer on a novel, integrated Co-60 MRI treatment machine. To best assess this technology, the investigators will focus on patients that have no more than three sites of progressive disease within the central thorax, liver, and/or non-liver abdominopelvis to receive adaptive, MRI-guided and gated SBRT with MRI simulation. Patients will be treated in five fractions over one to two weeks. By adhering to strict normal tissue constraints, expected toxicity will be within the current standard of care but will allow adaptation based on daily anatomic changes. The prescription dose will be determined based on hard normal tissue constraints, and capped at 10Gy per fraction. Although the long term goal will be to achieve improved local control and disease-free survival with reduced toxicity, the present study will be driven by the short term goal of demonstrating the feasibility of this novel treatment approach for recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer.
Most studies of cancer stem cells (CSC) involve the inoculation of cells from human tumors into immunosuppressed mice, preventing an assessment on the immunologic interactions and effects of CSCs. In this study, the investigators examined the vaccination effects produced by CSC-enriched populations from histologically distinct murine tumors after their inoculation into different syngeneic immunocompetent hosts. Enriched CSCs were immunogenic and more effective as an antigen source than unselected tumor cells in inducing protective antitumor immunity.Immune sera from CSC-vaccinated hosts contained high levels of IgG which bound to CSCs, resulting in CSC lysis in the presence of complement.CTLs generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells or splenocytes harvested from CSC-vaccinated hosts were capable of killing CSCs in vitro. Mechanistic investigations established that CSC-primed antibodies and T cells were capable of selective targeting CSCs and conferring antitumor immunity.
The purpose of this study is to support the qualification of a replacement manufacturing site for DOXIL/CAELYX (doxorubicin HCL).
This is a study to determine whether therapy with pazopanib is effective and safe in Asian women with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer whose cancer has not progressed on first-line chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to identify a dose of SB-485232 which is safe, tolerable and biologically active when used in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. This study will use a standard treatment regimen of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) in combination with rising doses of SB-485232. The dose selected from this study will be used in a future studies to evaluate the efficacy of this combination.
This is an open-label, two-arm, multicenter feasibility study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pazopanib in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in female subjects with newly diagnosed advanced gynaecological tumors. Subjects will have received no prior therapy for their disease. A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 46 subjects will be enrolled. Dose schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, six subjects will be evaluated in treatment cohorts, which will be expanded to 20 subjects if initial toxicity is acceptable. Overall safety and tolerability of the regimen will be based on dose limiting toxicities, adverse events, and percentage of subjects that complete 6 courses of study treatment. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) responses.
This study was designed to find the most effective and safest doses of both HYCAMTIN and CARBOPLATIN that can be given for the treatment of ovarian cancer. This study may allow researchers to determine the effectiveness of combining HYCAMTIN and CARBOPLATIN.
This study was designed to find out how effective and safe GW786034, is in the treatment of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has not responded to standard treatment.
This research study was designed to determine the effectiveness of the drug, topotecan, given intravenously (into a vein) together with the drug gemcitabine in patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal cancer, as well as tumors of mixed mullerian origin. Additional purposes are to determine the long term outcome and side effects of this combination treatment. Since topotecan and gemcitabine have different mechanisms of action, the combination of these 2 drugs may provide better results than either drug alone. Prior studies suggest that the combination of topotecan and gemcitabine improves the effects on the tumor and also appeared to be well tolerated.
