Filter by:The main goal of this study is to employ a novel proteomic approach to identify predictive tumor biomarkers that will increase the efficacy of insulin-like growth factor (IGF1R) targeted therapy in epithelial ovarian cancer. It is expected that these predictive biomarkers will be applied to increase the response rate in selected groups of patients.
This trial is designed to compare diagnostic and therapeutic effects of laparoscopy vs. laparotomy on early malignant ovarian cancer, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy in early malignant ovarian cancer.
To clarify the critical role of glycosyltransferases, altered Mucins, and RTKs in human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms, the study will examine the immunohistochemical expression profiles of glycosyltransferases, Mucins and receptor tyrosin kinases (RTKs) family in various stages and/or histologic subtypes of human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms and tissue microarrays.
This is an observational prospective study. Patients diagnosed with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (stage IC or higher) since 2008 will be asked to participate in this study by signing an informed consent. Tumour samples will be reviewed to confirm the diagnosis and to select the best regions for tissue sampling to perform the following molecular studies: array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization and Next Generation Sequencing. Detected mutations will be analysed by Sanger sequencing. FISH probes will be designed and tested on the samples.
The presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in platinum and taxane metabolism and detoxification have been correlated to increased risk of severe adverse events (AEs) when patients receive these drugs. The investigators propose studies to validate a comprehensive panel of twelve SNPs in ovarian cancer patients that may predict AEs when treated with therapies that include platinum and taxanes. Using these results to stratify patients to different dosing regimens, routes of administration, or in recurrent cancer to aid in drug selection, may improve outcome and reduce costs for the management of drug related side effects while not changing standard of care. Since these differences can be detected from blood, the determination of genotypes can be done using a standard blood sample taken after ovarian cancer is confirmed on the patient's pathology report. These genetic differences can be detected by QPCR and Next Generation Sequencing.
The study objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of p53 combined with chemotherapy (cisplatin and paclitaxel) in treatment of recurrent Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, and Primary Peritoneal Cancer.
Randomised study to investigate if salpingectomies done to women wishing tubal sterilisation has an effect on ovarian reserve.
This study is a clinical trial phase I/II. Its goal is to determine the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and efficacy of a therapeutic vaccine with the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 combined with the adjuvant MPLA from B. pertussis in cancer patients.
This research trial collects information about types of treatment and the cost of these procedures in women with elevated genetic risk for ovarian cancer who participated on the Gynecology Oncology Group (GOG)-0199 trial. Gathering information about women at elevated genetic risk for ovarian cancer may help doctors learn more about risk reduction procedures and the cost of these procedures.
