Filter by:This research is being done to find out if Carboplatin and Taxane works better alone or when given with an experimental drug called MORAb-003(farletuzumab) in subjects with first platinum sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer.
This study is designed to determine whether the combination treatment of Paclitaxel and Gleevec on recurrent ovarian cancer patients or other cancers of mullerian origin will generate better clinical response than Paclitaxel alone.
This trial will compare the efficacy of docetaxel/carboplatin versus docetaxel/liposomal doxorubicin in pretreated patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma and treatment free-interval of at least six months
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and decitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether carboplatin is more effective with or without decitabine in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying carboplatin and decitabine to see how well they work compared with carboplatin alone in treating patients with progressive, advanced ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
The study is being conducted to find out if paclitaxel works better when given together with an experimental drug called MORAb-003(farletuzumab) or alone in patients with platinum-resistant or refractory relapsed ovarian cancer
This pilot study will help us to determine the success of using a special technique called microarray technology to examine cancer genes in order to predict how individual women will respond to one of two therapies, liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan, and which will be more effective in treating ovarian cancer that has returned (recurrent ovarian cancer). We believe that this study may lead to a means by which microarray technology can predict the most effective treatment decision, based on the genetic characteristics of her tumor tissue, for a woman with recurrent ovarian cancer. Another purpose of this study is to determine how quickly a woman with recurrent ovarian cancer will respond to treatment (treatment response rate) and to evaluate the accuracy of the genomic predictions. Recent data suggest that microarray technology can predict a patient's response to chemotherapy; this has not yet been proven in a forward-looking study which is why we are conducting this research.
This study will determine the value of adding AMG 479 (fully human monoclonal antibody against IGF-1R) to paclitaxel and carboplatin first line chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (<1 cm) FIGO stage III and IV (positive pleural cytology only) ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma.
This study will collect patient demographic, oncology history, and physician reported outcome information following the initial round of chemotherapy received after a commercial ChemoFx® Final Report for the generation of hypotheses of potential patient cohorts for further sub-studies.
The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CAELYX versus Paclitaxel HCl in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma following failure of first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is time to progression (TTP) following treatment with either CAELYX or Paclitaxel HCl; the secondary endpoints are response rates, time to response, duration of response,quality of life assessment, and survival following treatment with either CAELYX or Paclitaxel HCl. Up to a total of 438 protocol-eligible patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma following failure of first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy will be enrolled in order to obtain 350 evaluable patients.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, and total-body irradiation before a donor natural killer cell infusion helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's natural killer cells. Aldesleukin may stimulate the natural killer cells to kill ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer cells. Treating the donor natural killer cells with aldesleukin may help the natural killer cells kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving laboratory-treated donor natural killer cells together with aldesleukin works when given after cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
