View clinical trials related to Ovarian Epithelial Cancer.
Filter by:Ovarian cancer is among the top five primary causes of cancer-related mortality in women. Most ovarian malignant tumours originate from epithelial cells The majority of patients typically have advanced-stage tumours at diagnosis. When complete surgery with no macroscopic visible disease is not feasible due to both the spread of the disease and the patient's general condition, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) of 3 cycles followed by interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) or final cytoreductive surgery (FCS) after 6 cycles of NACT followed or not by adjuvant chemotherapy can be offered, with similar overall survival. In our centre, due to logistics, disease, or patient factors, many patients may receive more than 3 cycles of NACT before ICS. Therefore, this randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the survival benefit of different timings of ICS after 3 or 6 cycles of NACT in patients not eligible for upfront cytoreductive surgery (UCS).
This first-in-human study will evaluate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) / the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D), safety, tolerability, anti-tumor activity, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of AMT-151, a novel antibody-drug conjugate against folate receptor alpha, in patients with selected advanced solid tumors.
This study, ELU- FRα-1, is focused on adult subjects who have advanced, recurrent or refractory folate receptor alpha (FRα) overexpressing tumors considered to be topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-sensitive based on scientific literature, and, in the opinion of the Investigator, have no other meaningful life-prolonging therapy options available. ELU001 is a new chemical entity described as a C'Dot drug conjugate (CDC), consisting of payloads (exatecans) and targeting moieties (folic acid analogs) covalently bound by linkers to the C'Dot particle carrier. ELU001 will be the first drug-conjugate of its kind to be introduced into the clinic, a first in class, and a novel molecular entity.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation ,and multidose study, aiming to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Gimatecan in Advanced Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer. To explore the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) of oral administration of Gimatecan capsules 5 consecutive days, every 28 days.
An important part of staging and deciding the method of treatment is knowing areas of how cancer is involved. Diagnostic imaging is often used to determine the location of the cancer using techniques like nuclear medicine, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computerized tomography), and ultrasound. Each technique looks for cancer in different ways and are often used together to make a better determination of the extent of disease. One of the techniques used in cancer imaging is PET/CT. This technique combines a nuclear medicine study (PET or positron emission tomography) with CT performing both scans at the same time. PET/CT most commonly uses a radioactive sugar (FDG or fluorodeoxyglucose) to detect the cancer. The problem with FDG is that it is excreted by the kidneys and collected in the bladder. Even though the bladder is emptied prior to the scan, the FDG activity present there may interfere with the detection of small areas of cancer involvement in lymph nodes or adjacent areas. It is because of this that PET/CT using FDG is infrequently used in gynecological cancers. This purpose of this study is to evaluate if 18F-fluciclovine can be used to help determine the extent of gynecological cancers. 18F-fluciclovine (also known as AXUMIN) is a radioactive tracer which has been approved by the FDAFood and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with prostate cancer. 18F-fluciclovine has much less excretion through the kidneys which improves the PET/CT imaging of the pelvis.
