Filter by:Ovarian cancer is the third most common after endometrial and cervical cancer in societies with a high standard of living; It is the second most common type of gynecological cancer after cervical cancer in societies with a low standard of living, and it is also the deadliest among gynecological cancers. Dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis is an antioxidant system that minimizes oxidative damage and prevents cell damage. In the presence of oxidative stress, the thiol groups combine to form the disulfide structure, and when the oxidative stress condition is over, they are separated into thiol groups again. This homeostasis is impaired in conditions that cause oxidative processes such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic kidney failure. This can be determined by measuring the total thiol and native thiol levels. Likewise, the level of ischemia modified albumin increases in the case of oxidative stress. There are studies on this homeostasis in the literature on many types of cancer; There are studies on endometrial cancer and cervical cancer, which are gynecological cancers In this study, the usability of these tests together with other diagnostic tests in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer will be evaluated.
To evaluate the survival impact of extensive lymphadenectomy as part of debulking surgery in stage IVB ovarian cancer with supradiaphragmatic lymph node metastasis.
This is a multicenter, open label, Phase 2 study of TJ004309 in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, and tolerability of ASP0739, when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. This study will also evaluate the clinical response and other measures of anticancer activity of ASP0739 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab based on central and local assessment.
This study tests a multi-component, low cost, message-based communication outreach intervention to engage ovarian cancer survivors and their at-risk relatives in considering cancer genetic services. The intervention includes foot-in-the-door techniques, tailored/targeted print, website support, and short messages to expand reach of prevention messages.
This clinical quality improvement study reviews and develops a clinical operations workflow to identify cancer patients who meet criteria for genetic counseling and testing. This study may improve utilization of genetic counseling and testing amongst community-based oncology providers caring for cancer patients in a rural and underserved area.
Bowel obstruction is a common complication in patients with ovarian, peritoneal and bowel cancer due to a mass or spread of disease, causing narrowing to the gut, as these cancers can grow on the bowel surface. Certain foods may lead to symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full, feeling sick, vomiting and difficulty passing a bowel motion. There is limited evidence to establish the best diet to follow when someone is diagnosed with the risk of bowel obstruction and is experiencing symptoms after eating and drinking. The Dietitians at the Royal Surrey have developed a 4 stage bowel obstruction diet which they have been using with patients for 3 years. The 4 stages are clear fluids, all thin liquids, low fibre soft smooth diet, low fibre soft sloppy diet. Depending on the severity of symptoms and the risk of a blockage, patients are asked to follow a certain stage of the diet. They are advised to move up and down the stages as symptoms improve or get worse. This feasibility study aims to investigate if the diet can be used and is effective in clinical practice. The objectives are to see if this diet is easy to follow, can reduce symptoms of bowel obstruction, can improve quality of life, and reduce admissions to hospital because of bowel blockages. Patients at risk of bowel obstruction from colorectal or ovarian cancer are eligible to participate. They will remain in the study for a period of 4 weeks, during which time they will be asked to complete a diet diary and 3 questionnaires.
This is a first-in-human, Phase 1, open label, multicenter, multiple dose, dose escalation and dose expansion study intended to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and potential clinical benefit of PF-07257876, a CD47-PD-L1 bispecific antibody, in participants with selected advanced or metastatic tumors for whom no standard therapy is available. The study contains 2 parts, single agent Dose Escalation (Part 1) to determine the recommended dose of PF-07257876, followed by Dose Expansion (Part 2) in selected tumor types at the recommended dose.
In Phase I the sponsor will systematically test conditions for lavage filtration that increase tumor cell fraction without reducing tumor mutation yield. The Sponsor will also transition all lavages to luteal phase timing, when endometrial shedding is least. In Phase II the Sponsor will examine our data in context of clinical characteristics, particularly age, to develop a multivariate model that determines optimal mutant allele frequency (MAF) diagnostic threshold by patient. Furthermore, the sponsor will explore a highly innovative idea, entailing empirically determining each individual's background mutation load, agnostic of the aging or mutagenic exposures responsible, and using this as a personalized calibrator to determine optimal MAF diagnostic threshold.
This project is about exploring a novel method to detect ovarian and uterine cancers earlier and better. More precisely, a high-performance radioactive estrogen analog will be used to visualize hormone-sensitive uterine and ovarian tumors using PET imaging. Not only this imaging methodology could improve the whole-body assessment of those diseases, but will also hint clinicians about the optimal course of therapy to undertake. The lead investigator's team designed in the past years an innovative radioactive estrogen derivative tracer (4FMFES) for the medical imaging modality termed Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The compound was first shown to be safe for human use. Recently, a clinical trial demonstrated that 4FMFES-PET is superior to any existing comparable tracer for detection of hormone-sensitive breast cancer patients. 4FMFES is particularly useful to pinpoint unsuspected metastases early, which allowed better breast cancer patient management and staging. 4FMFES and standard FDG PET imaging were shown to be complementary in breast cancer, the use of both techniques together providing a detection rate nearing 100%. Since ovarian and uterine cancers are about as likely to be targeted by 4FMFES as breast cancer, the use of this novel precision imaging method will be adapted to those other indications. In general, the sooner a cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome of a patient will be. Gynecological cancers lack precise screening and detection tools. In particular, while a majority of uterine cancers are relatively well managed, patients burdened with metastatic burden have a much worse prognosis, and precise and early detection of those lesions will greatly help clinicians to better treat those complicated cases. As for ovarian cancers, they are usually devoid of clinical symptoms until late onset, which partly explain the high mortality rate of this disease. Hence, for both diseases, a precision, whole-body imaging technique will allow earlier assessment, followed by earlier intervention, resulting in improved survival rate and better quality of life for patients.
