Filter by:Aim of Work is Prevention of unnecessary laparotomies and failed attempts to perform optimal cytoreduction in women with advanced ovarian cancer.
Detection of the potential oncogenic role of Engrailed-2 in epithelial ovarian neoplasms, in order to detect biological markers that could be targeted and blocked by new medications.
Observational, clinical study. Intention to include 40 patients (20 patients treated with trabectedin and 20 with cisplatin hypersensitivity) The investigators investigate the role of trabectedin in combination with PLD and cisplatin in treating platinum sensitive ROC being allergic to carboplatin. The investigators focus on adverse events and evaluate if these are tolerable for the patients and further evaluate the measurable treatment effect on the tumor burden.
Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer in women in Korea, with 2,600 cases occurring annually, and the number of cases is steadily increasing. There is no practical method for early detection of ovarian cancer, and 75 percent of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage. The treatment of ovarian cancer is based on surgical removal and platinum-based chemotherapy. The cell-free DNA (cfDNA) test has the advantage of being able to track and monitor mutations of tumor origin noninvasive. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker for cancer recurrence in ovarian cancer after surgery. Diagnosis and prognosis evaluation using conventional methods such as CA-125, radiologic examination (CT), had limitations in diagnosing and prognostic observation of ovarian cancer. For precise diagnostic purposes, CA-125 had limitations because it was detected as positive value when the tumor size is enough large or states of metastasis, and CT-based diagnosis is practicable only when the size of tumor is detectable. However, cell-free DNA can be detected even if the tumor size is small because it detects very small amount of mutation gene in the blood. In addition, the detection of tumor cell DNA from circulating blood can be a clinical decision making point whether to continue or stop chemotherapy. In this study, the investigators collect whole blood from patients with ovarian cancer undergoing surgery. Control samples will be obtained from patients undergoing surgery for benign adnexal disease with CA125 >35U/ml. In ovarian cancer patients, blood samples will be collected prospectively every 3 months after surgery. Mutations found at the initial sample will be monitored during chemotherapy to investigate the ctDNA pattern. The primary outcome will be progression free survival (PFS).
Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among all gynecologic cancers, with most patients presenting with advanced stage tumors. About a third of patients do not respond to primary platinum-based chemotherapy treatment, and over time up to 80 % of others develop chemoresistance, rendering recurrent disease incurable. Despite all the studies published in the literature, it has not been proven that the number of cells with expressed ATP7A in certain tumors increases independently of the therapy. In addition, no study has been conducted on a sample of patients with confirmed serous histology of ovarian cancer only. The aim of the study is to demonstrate increased expression of the ATP7A transporter in cells resistant to carboplatin.
The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin is the standard first-line chemotherapy for ovarian cancer as recommended by the NCCN Guidelines for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and is conventionally given via intravenous route every three weeks. The addition of target therapy (bevacizumab) has shown to improve progression free survival but not overall survival. Several trials have also demonstrated a clinically significant survival advantage associated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy compared to intravenous chemotherapy, and the best outcomes are consistently seen for patients who have no residual disease. This study aims to compare triweekly chemotherapy with bevacizumab versus intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer.
Early-stage Clinical Study of mesothelin-specific Chimericantigen Receptor T Cells (LD013) in Subjects With Refractory or Relapsed mesothelin-positive Ovarian Cancer
To evaluate the safety profile of Genexol PM combination with carboplatin for patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. We hypothesized Genexol PM can be safely administered to newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients compared to conventional paclitaxel/carboplatin combination therapy. Therefore, we will compare the prospective cohort with a historical comparison with patients administered paclitaxel/carboplatin and paclitaxel/carboplatin/bevacizumab combination therapy.
This is a two-way crossover bioequivalence study between test and reference product in patients diagnosed with BRCA mutated ovarian cancer, recurrent ovarian cancer or metastatic breast cancer.
Gynecological cancers negatively affect women's sexuality, fertility, body image, and self-perception, resulting in deterioration in their psychological health. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of logotherapy on traumatic stress symptoms, post-traumatic growth, finding meaning in life, and spiritual well-being in gynecological cancer patients. No research has yet been found that examines logotherapy's symptoms of post-traumatic stress, post-traumatic growth, the meaning of life, and the spiritual well-being of gynecological cancer patients. The study was conducted in a single-blind randomized controlled trial with 68 women with gynecological cancer. The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT… While logotherapy interviews including seven sessions were made in the experimental group, only routine nursing care was given to the control group. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form (PIF), the Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (TSSS), the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). To analyze the data, descriptive statistics and parametric-nonparametric tests were used in the analysis of the data.
