Filter by:This trial studies the chemotherapy toxicity on quality of life in older patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer. Learning about the side effects of chemotherapy in older patients may help doctors plan better ways to treat cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine, whether there is clinical benefit of using fdg-PET/CT (F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose- positron emission tomography/computed tomography)compared to contrast-enhanced CT in primary treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) - Objectives - the impact of preoperative PET/CT compared to CT on EOC stage definition - to compare the value of preoperative PET/CT, CT and laparoscopy in intra-abdominal tumour assessment. Laparotomy findings evaluated by surgeon and histopathologic results serve as the reference standard. - to compare serum markers HE4(human epididymis protein 4) and CA125 (cancer antigen 125) with FDG-PET/CT and CT in treatment response evaluation during neoadjuvant chemotherapy and primary treatment of EOC - to compare FDG PET/CT based treatment response evaluation with RECIST and GCIG criteria - Methods - All the patients will undergo FDG-PET/CT prior surgery, after possible neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and 4 weeks after completion of primary platinum-based chemotherapy. - CA125 and HE4 levels are measured pre-operatively, with every chemotherapy cycle and regularly during follow-up until 1st disease relapse
This an an open-label study to define the safety profile and the maximum tolerated dose and confirm the clinical effective dose of palifosfamide-tris given intravenously in combination with etoposide and carboplatin in a wide range of cancers which etoposide and carboplatin are normally given. Once the maximum dose of palifosfamide-tris is determined,a Phase II study using the 3 agents combined will begin.
Phase I study to evaluate intraperitoneal carboplatin along with weekly intravenous paclitaxel and bevacizumab in order to establish a tolerable dose and define the toxicity of this regimen in previously untreated patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma.
This phase III clinical trial studies two different dose schedules of paclitaxel to see how well they work in combination with carboplatin with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with stage II, III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. 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, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody and blocks tumor growth by stopping the growth of blood vessels that tumors need to grow. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel with combination chemotherapy once every three weeks is more effective than giving paclitaxel once a week in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
The purpose of this study is to understand relationships between behavioral factors, hormones, and chemicals produced by the body that may help tumor growth in ovarian cancer.
To compare the efficacy of olaparib in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin (AUC4) when compared with carboplatin (AUC6) and paclitaxel alone in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin given together with paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with oxaliplatin given together with capecitabine with or without bevacizumab as first-line therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV, or recurrent (has come back) stage I epithelial ovarian or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy given together with or without bevacizumab is more effective in treating epithelial ovarian cancer or fallopian tube cancer.
The purpose of this study is to describe the prediagnostic symptoms and the events along the pathway to diagnosis of women with ovarian cancer, referred for first-line chemotherapy.
This randomized clinical trial is studying two different symptom management programs to see how well they work compared with usual care in patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Developing a symptom management plan may help relieve symptoms related to cancer or cancer treatment and help improve quality of life.
