Filter by:This study will evaluate serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) and serum leptin levels at the time of diagnosis of ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer as well as vitamin D receptor mutation status (FokI SNP genotype). The study will evaluate the impact of vitamin D repletion on serum vitamin D levels, serum leptin levels, and treatment-related morbidity in these patients.
This is a Phase 2, non-randomised, open-label, multicentric study to investigate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab monotherapy in 7 cohorts of patients with specific rare cancers who have unresectable locally advanced or metastatic disease, which is resistant or refractory to standard therapy, or for which standard therapy does not exist, or is not considered appropriate, and for which no other experimental treatment options are available, in order to identify subsets of patients that may benefit from treatment
This study looks to enroll subjects with ovarian cancer who will be having standard of care surgery to remove ovarian cancer tumors. The main aim of this study is to be able to observe how EC1456 has been taken in and broken down inside tumors. The effect of EC1456 on the tumor will also be studied. This study will also help us compare the amount of EC1456 seen in tumors and how the tumors are imaged by the 99mTc-etarfolatide single-photon emission tomography (SPECT) or single-photon emission tomography with in-line x-ray computed tomography (SPECT/CT). All subjects will undergo a 99mTc-etarfolatide SPECT or SPECT/CT scan within 2 weeks prior to EC1456 administration. Individual subjects will then receive 1 of the following 2 doses of EC1456 pre-operatively: - 4 mg/m2 - 8 mg/m2 EC1456 will be administered at 1 of the following 2 time points: - <8 hours before planned surgery - 48±4 hours before planned surgery Blood will be collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) studies right after EC1456 dosing and again right before surgery. At the time of surgery, tumor samples will be removed and sent to Endocyte for analysis.
In 2015 the Danish Health authorities initiated major changes in the national follow-up (FU) program for ovarian cancer patients. The new FU program argues that there is no effect of routine monitoring of tumour marker CA125. Now every patient needs to choose if they wish routine measurement of CA 125 to be part of the follow-up program. Shared Decision Making (SDM) can help health professionals develop a more individualized care plan in collaboration with the patient, as stated in the revised national FU program. Due to the complexity and challenges within ovarian cancer care, this is an evident area of focus. SDM is defined as an approach in which the clinician and patient go through all phases of the decision-making process together and share the preference for treatment and reach an agreement on treatment choice. Clinicians have information about disease, tests and treatments, whereas patients hold information about their life circumstances, goals of life, and preferences for healthcare. SDM thereby offers a way of individualizing recommendations, according to patients' special needs and preferences. SDM has potential to give the patients a higher quality of healthcare by putting the patient in the center of care. Decision aids (DA) are tools that can provide information and systematically describe the advantages and disadvantages of a specific intervention or monitoring, which can help patients become involved in decision making. Using evidence-based DA leads to improvement in knowledge, better understanding of screening, prevention and treatment options, and more accurate perception of risks for the patients. All participants fill in a demographic and Decisional Conflict Scale questionnaire at baseline. After having been presented with the decision aid and made a choice as to CA125, the participants will complete the CollaboRATE and Decisional Conflict Scale questionnaire dealing with confidence as to the choice made and the level of shared decision making experienced. Six months later the Decision Regret Scale questionnaire is to be completed to reveal any regrets in relation to the CA125 decision. For a preliminary investigation of the applicability of the DA, 15-20 patients not eligible for this study will be asked for their opinion.
This is a single-center prospective clinical trial to evaluate non-inferiority of indocyanine green guided sentinel lymph node biopsy compared with the gold standard Technecium99 guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with cancers and subjected to surgery. The diagnostic performance and the tolerance of indocyanine green (ICG) to the radio-isotope (Techniciun99) in the detection of sentinel lymph nodes will be assess using an "Optonuclear" probe (EURORAD S.A.) and QUEST camera
This study aims to answer very important questions regarding the prevalence of somatic and germline mutations (sBRCAm and gBRCAm) in a population of newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients from Latin America. These answers may be extremely helpful in the counseling for genetic risk and treatment approach in these populations and will aid in making treatment decisions in the future
This is a non-randomized, open-label study to assess olaparib tablets as a treatment for subjects with different homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) tumor status and with platinum-sensitive, relapsed, high-grade serous or high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer. Subjects should have received at least 1 prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy.
To assess the feasibility, Residual Tumor, complication rate and survival of totally laparoscopic primary cytoreduction in carefully selected patients with Advanced Ovarian Cancer, compared with abdominal primary cytoreduction in a single-Institution, single-surgeon prospective series.
While significant progress has been made in the treatment and prognosis of ovarian cancer, this progress has mostly shown benefits for younger women. This study aims to understand two things: How body composition (the amount of muscle and water versus fat in in the body) affects the dose and side effects of chemotherapy; and the biological reason for the worse prognosis with aging. To get a good view of these effects, investigators are asking the help of both younger and older women for this project.
PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence and clinical correlation of the germline BRCA 1/2 mutation in Korean patients with high grade(HG) serous and/or endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a nationwide case-control study on EOC conducted in Korea between 2010 and 2015, 298 Korean women with HG serous and/or endometrioid EOC were tested for gBRCA 1/2 mutation, regardless of the family history. Mutation screening was performed using the Ion AmpliSeq BRCA 1/2 Panel (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and Ion PGM platform according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clinical characteristics including survival outcome was assessed in gBRCAm carriers.
