Filter by:Primary Objectives: - To determine the objective response rate of Letrozole when administered to patients with advanced or recurrent borderline tumors or low-grade epithelial cancers from the ovary , fallopian tube or peritoneum. - To determine the time to tumor progression of patients with advanced or recurrent borderline tumors or low-grade epithelial cancers from the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum. - To identify the biological markers to predict response to Letrozole and study the aspects of the hormones in these types of tumors.
Background: - Vandetanib is a drug that attacks a group of proteins on the surface of many cells, especially blood vessel cells and tumor cells. - Tumors require the development of new blood vessels in order to grow and spread. - In laboratory experiments, vandetanib slowed the growth of certain tumors and regulated their blood vessel growth. - In early clinical trials, some patients' tumors did not grow for a period of time while they were receiving vandetanib. Objectives: - To determine whether vandetanib can cause tumors to shrink or stabilize in some patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. - To determine, by tumor biopsy, if features of the tumor change with vandetanib treatment may predict if the tumor will likely respond to vandetanib. Eligibility: - Women 18 years of age and older with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer that does not respond to standard treatment. Design: - Patients take vandetanib daily, by mouth in 28-day cycles until their disease worsens or they develop unacceptable side effects. - Tumor biopsies (surgical removal of a sample of tumor tissue) are done before starting vandetanib treatment and after 6 weeks of treatment. - Patients are followed in the clinic every 4 weeks during treatment for a physical examination, blood tests, and review of laboratory studies and side effects. - Patients have a computed tomography (CT) scan every 8 weeks to monitor tumor growth and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before starting vandetanib treatment, on the third day after taking vandetanib and 6 weeks into treatment. - Patients quality of life is assessed with regularly scheduled questionnaires.
Primary Objectives: - To evaluate the effect of glufosfamide on the serum concentrations of CA125 in subjects with ovarian cancer - To evaluate the safety of weekly glufosfamide dosing in subjects with ovarian cancer as compared with every 21-day dosing Secondary objectives: - To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with ovarian cancer as measured by objective response rate, duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of glufosfamide and isophosphoramide mustard during and after treatment Exploratory objective: - To correlate efficacy endpoints with expression of tumor-associated glucose transporter proteins
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the benefit of vaccination with Abagovomab, an experimental immunotherapy in ovarian cancer patients. The benefit will be evaluated in terms of time the remission status is kept as well as prolongation of life expectancy.
The primary objective is to determine whether the addition of bevacizumab to a regimen of carboplatin plus paclitaxel significantly improves Progression Free Survival (PFS) for patient with Stage III suboptimally cytoreduced or Stage IV ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube carcinomas.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of weekly and every 3-weeks ABI-007 in combination with carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC]=6) in patients with ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving vaccine therapy and chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vaccine therapy together with paclitaxel and carboplatin works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if Telcyta® given in combination with liposomal doxorubicin is more effective than liposomal doxorubicin alone in treating women who have recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer that is refractory or resistant to platinum chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Lapatinib with Carboplatin AUC 6 in patients with platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma and to determine the nature and degree of toxicity of Lapatinib in combination with carboplatin AUC 6 in this cohort of patients.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin together with topotecan works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and topotecan, 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.
