Filter by:The research purpose of this study is to use organoid cultured from patients' own ovarian cancer tissues as models, screen potential clinical therapeutic drugs (such as paclitaxel, gemcitabine, etc.) in vitro, formulate individualized drug treatment plans for individual patient, and evaluate the clinical application value of organ like drug sensitivity technology.
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer death. More than 40% are older than 70 years. The standard treatment is radical surgery combined with chemotherapy. More than 40% of the Danish patients will never undergo surgery. Frail and immunodeficient older patients are at higher risk of complications, and immunomodulating treatment as chemotherapy results in different outcomes in comparable patients. No accurate validated screening tool to identify frail and immunodeficient OC women exists. Optimization through comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and physical training before and during treatment may improve outcomes and decrease associated risks. Aim: Primary endpoints will be to determine whether a CGA and physical training vs standard of care can increase the proportion of patients later on referred to interval debulking surgery, and examine the performance of validated screening tests in predicting impairments in CGA. Other endpoints will be to evaluate if intervention can improve completion of chemotherapy, to examine the association between frailty screening scores and selected biomarkers with treatment outcomes, including complications and quality of life, and ultimately to develop an improved frailty screening tool based on known screening tools, functional tests and biomarkers identifying patients who will benefit from CGA. Method: This is a nationwide, randomized intervention study. Patients ≥70 years diagnosed with primary OC at the Gynecological departments of Rigshospitalet, Odense and Roskilde University Hospitals will be included. In an interdisciplinary collaboration between medical specialists in oncology, gynecology and geriatrics, included patients will be screened for frailty using validated screening tools and functional tests. Specific biomarkers and immunologic profile will be assessed in all patients. Patients selected for neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be randomized to receive CGA or standard of care. Patients selected for primary debulking surgery or palliation will be followed in an observational cohort. Perspective: The development of a validated screening tool for frailty assessment and immunological status will help us identify frail patients who may need optimization before treatment, resulting in more patients getting optimal treatment (either surgery or chemotherapy), prevent post-treatment complications and avoid palliative patients from undergoing a redundant complex treatment.
This Phase 3 study is designed to investigate the safety, diagnostic performance, and clinical usefulness of Gleolan for the real-time detection and visualization of epithelial ovarian cancer tumors during debulking surgery. The study is planned to run for about 18 months with individual study participation lasting about two (2) weeks.
10 participants are expected to be enrolled for this open，Single-armed clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the recombinant herpes simplex virus I, R130 in patients with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most dangerous and leading gynecological cancer, with significant cancer-related mortality among women. However, current detection methods are still limited, with approximately 70% of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer often being advanced at the initial diagnosis and more than 80% with intraperitoneal spread. The five-year survival rate for late detection is only 29%; on the contrary, if detected early, the five-year survival rate can reach 92%. Therefore, early diagnosis and detection are essential in diagnosing and treating ovarian cancer. Liquid biopsy has attracted widespread attention because of its non-invasive, real-time, and dynamic characteristics. Cell-free DNA in plasma can identify a small tumor burden well and reflect the clinical cancer information of cells.The role of hypermethylation in developing malignant tumors has received increasing attention. Methylation is one of epigenetics and plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of tumors. According to previous research basis of the researchers, it has been found that CDO1 and HOXA9 genes show hypermethylation in ovarian cancer, and they are considered one of the biomarkers for detection. Therefore, this study will further explore the detection of CDO1 and HOXA9 methylation levels based on cell-free DNA in blood and compared with ovarian pathology results; the application of methylation detection technology in ovarian cancer/precancerous lesions will further explore the application value of non-invasive diagnosis and prognostic follow-up.This study will involve three centers and is expected to enroll more than 1,400 clinical subjects, further examine the consistency of methylation detection kits with the histopathological examination, ROMA index, and Sanger sequencing results, and obtain sensitivity and specificity technical performance parameters.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most dangerous and predominant gynecological cancers, with a high cancer-related mortality rate in women. However, current testing methods are still limited, and if detected early, patients have a five-year survival rate of 92%. Therefore, early diagnosis and detection are crucial for diagnosing and treating ovarian cancer. According to the results of the researchers' previous research, it has been found that CDO1 and HOXA9 genes are hypermethylated in ovarian cancer, and the expression of free DNA methylation in plasma can be used as one of the biomarkers for detection. In a single-center retrospective/prospective study, it has been demonstrated that the detection of CDO1 and HOXA9 methylation levels based on cell-free DNA in blood and comparison with ovarian pathology results can achieve >80% sensitivity and specificity. To further explore the application of methylation detection technology in ovarian cancer, the application value of non-invasive diagnosis and prognosis follow-up will be explored to clarify the clinical application value of DNA methylation for early detection of ovarian cancer in the real world. The investigators will conduct a prospective multi-center cohort study, referred to as the OVAMethy study, which will involve more than ten research centers and is expected to recruit more than 5,000 clinical subjects to test the methylation detection kit and histopathology further, ROMA index and imaging results, and sensitivity and specificity technical performance parameters.
This research is designed to determine if experimental treatment with Antibody-drug conjugate, AZD5335, alone, or in combination with anti-cancer agents is safe, tolerable, and has anti-cancer activity in patients with advanced tumors
The aim of the study is to find out whether supervised physical exercise during cancer drug treatment improves the effectiveness of the treatment in metastasized breast, kidney, ovarian and prostate cancer compared to unsupervised exercise. In addition, the investigators are investigating whether the use of atorvastatin combined with guided group exercise training would further improve the response to cancer treatment.
This clinical trial is looking at a combination of drugs called trastuzumab and pertuzumab. This combination of drugs is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with metastatic breast cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab work in patients with these types of cancers which have a molecular alteration called HER2 amplification or HER2 activating mutation. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which are also HER2 amplified or HER2 mutated. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.
This clinical trial studies how well an electronic (e)-health intervention (day-by-day) woks in managing fears or worries about cancer growing, spreading, or getting worse (progression) in patients with stage III or IV gynecologic cancer. Fear and worries about cancer progression or recurrence (coming back) are common concerns. This may contribute to concerns related to illness, worries, and uncertainty about the future. Day by Day is adapted from a program called "Conquer Fear" which was shown to benefit patients with early-stage cancer. Day-by-day intervention may help refocus patient thoughts and help patients learn skills to manage anxiety and fears.
