Filter by:This is a pilot study to assess feasibility of dried blood spot (DBS) samples for pharmacokinetic measurements of targeted anti-cancer drugs in oncology patients such as patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma receiving targeted treatment with BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
Inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal carcinosis. Patients with elevated levels of different inflammation cytokines show a worse prognosis at the time of diagnosis. In women, ovarian and colon cancer are the main causes of peritoneal carcinosis and a comparison of these two different types of peritoneal invasion have not been conducted yet. We found interesting studying the role of immune response, in particular tumour-associated antigens (TAA) that modulate the metastatic process. We will investigate also mitochondrial defects, such as mutations in mt-DNA, potentially involved in carcinogenesis.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of pre-operative counseling in a group setting on patient reported anxiety for patients scheduled to undergo surgery for a known or suspected gynecologic malignancy. Patient reported anxiety will be evaluated using a validated Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) survey. We hypothesize that the group counseling session will reduce patient reported anxiety by a clinical meaningful level. Secondary objectives will evaluate the effect of the intervention on patient reported depression levels and compare adherence to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) instructions, utilization of unscheduled health care resources, and anxiety/depression levels to historical controls.
This two-part randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of pre-test video education as compared to pre-test Chatbot education.
Study involves surgery for cytoreduction or laparoscopy to determine if you are a candidate for tumor debulking or a tissue biopsy. Following this surgery you will receive chemotherapy. This study will administer 7 days of treatment with a targeted therapy called Lynparza. Lynparza and/or other PARP inhibitors have been FDA approved for the treatment of ovarian and breast cancer. Tissue biopsy will be done before a 7 day course of Lynparza in order to correlate molecular changes to response to treatment. Participation in this trial will require an additional tumor biopsy which will occur either before or after treatment of Lynparza.
The ATLANTIS-study was designed to determine the safety of a full paracentesis in patients with malignant ascites due to ovarian cancer. The underlying hypothesis states, that full paracentesis does not impair safety, compared to fractioned paracentesis with clamping of the drain. Half of the patients will receive a full paracentesis, while the other half will receive fractioned paracentesis with clamping of the drain after 3 liters of ascites was evacuated. All patients receive extensive monitoring of hemodynamics and kidney function.
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer and the 5th leading cause of cancer death in women. Platinum chemotherapy has been widely adopted as a standard treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, the response rates in patients with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer is unacceptably low. PD-1 blockade has been developed to a new class of cancer immunotherapy that could restore an adequate immunosurveillance against the neoplasm and enhance T-cell-mediated anticancer immune responses. Manganese has been confirmed to activate antigen-presenting cells and function as mucosal immunoadjuvants in pre-clinical studies. This two-arm, phase I/II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of combined therapy of anti-PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy with or without Manganese priming.
To demonstrate that ultra-radical surgery with multiple visceral resections and high tumor burden prior to surgery independently reduces the survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with complete cytoreductive surgery.
The study is a prospective, randomized controlled phase III trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) concomitant with weekly paclitaxel for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer . The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate 12 weeks progression-free survival (PFS) rate of Palbociclib plus Letrozole in ER/PR positive endometrioid or high-grade serous ovarian cancer who have disease progression on second-line chemotherapy.
