Filter by:This is a single-center, observational clinical study that plans to recruit 64 ovarian cancer patients within one year. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the consistency and accuracy of the organoid model derived from patients with ovarian cancer and the patient's clinical medication, so as to predict the clinical efficacy of anti-cancer drugs
In women with an ovarian tumor, it is often unclear whether the tumor is benign or malignant. To differentiate, tumor markers (CA125 and CEA), a transvaginal ultrasound and, depending on the ultrasound image and the CA125 concentration, a CT scan are performed. The quality of radiological imaging in diagnosing abdominal pathology is often not accurate enough, making additional interventions no-dig for proper classification and interpretation of the tumor. Objective: To improve accuracy for distinguishing benign from malignant disease in patients presenting with an ovarian mass by using a computer aided detection algorithm.
Cancers of the pancreas, bile ducts, stomach and ovaries are dismal diseases with most patients being diagnosed in advanced stages leading to a bad prognosis. These cancers can be difficult to diagnose and sometimes impossible to differentiate from underlying benign conditions. Establishing the correct diagnosis of primary cancer lesions and possible spread to other organs in time is pivotal for choosing the right therapy. Routinely applied staging procedures are however not always reliable. The main aim in this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT with a novel radiotracer, FAPI, in the primary diagnosis of cancers in the pancreas, stomach and bile ducts as well as in patients with primary and recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
This study was designed to explore the safety and efficacy of Bevacizumab combined with Fluzoparib, Bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy or Fluzoparib monotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic, invaliding, inflammatory gynaecological condition affecting 10-15% of women in reproductive age. EMS is characterized by lesions of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus involving pelvic peritoneum and ovaries. In addition, distant foci are sometimes observed. Unfortunately, the aetiology of the EMS is little known. Although non-malignant, EMS shares similar features with cancer, such as development of local and distant foci, resistance to apoptosis and invasion of other tissues with subsequent damage to the target organs. Moreover, patients with EMS (particularly ovarian EMS) showed high risk (about 3 to 10 times) of developing epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Epidemiologic, morphological and molecular studies reported endometrioma as the precursor of EOC, including clear cell (CCC) endometrioid carcinoma which are both called "EMS-related ovarian carcinoma (EROC)". To date, it remains unclear why benign EMS causes malignant transformation. This multi-step process, unlike high-grade serous carcinomas, offers the possibility to identify the carcinoma precursors enabling an early diagnosis and in the early stages of the disease. EOC is the most lethal female gynecological cancer with 25% 5-year overall survival (OS), due to the lack of effective screening tools, and rapidly spreads over the entire peritoneal surface (carcinosis) thus involving all abdominal organs. Diagnosis and clinical staging of EOC is currently performed by qualitative image evaluation although the sensitivity/specificity is suboptimal. To date, diagnostic, staging, and prognostic factors are strongly correlated with subjective assessment training and clinician experience. Genomic analysis based on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revealed the presence of cancer-associated gene mutations in EMS. Moreover, the chronic inflammatory process of EMS involves many factors, such as hormones, cytokines, glycoproteins, and angiogenic factors, which are expected to become early EMS biomarkers. A promising new branch of cancer research is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize new image patterns and texture and/or detecting novel biomarkers to improve the early identification of EROC patients. AI has never been used for EROC and we want to investigate whether these methods/techniques can support and even improve current diagnostics and risk assessment. AI will be used to construct a new 3D risk assessment model based on images and volume of interest
This trial is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study evaluating the efficacy of pembrolizumab and bevacizumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) followed by pembrolizumab, bevacizumab and olaparib as a maintenance therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.This study is planned to enroll eligible 35 patients from multiple study sites in Japan.
The study's purpose is to understand the effects of a new treatment (suba-itraconazole and tamoxifen) in epithelial ovarian cancer. Who is it for? Patients may be eligible to join this study with ovarian cancer resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy agents Study Details: Participants will receive different doses of tamoxifen and suba-itraconazole to determine the optimal combination dose. Participants will be seen by the investigators once a week for the first 3 weeks and then once every 4 weeks. Participant will be reviewed by a clinician and undergo regular blood tests, cardiac monitoring and imaging assessments.
Four phase III trials in ovarian cancer consistently showed that front-line poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition can significantly improve progression-free survival. Based on these findings, current clinical guidelines recommend the olaparib + bevacizumab combination as a maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1/2 wild-type or unknown mutation status who have a complete response (CR)/ partial response (PR) after completing bevacizumab-containing first-line therapy. However, bevacizumab is not a NATIONAL MEDICAL PRODUCTS ADMINSTRATION（NMPA）-approved agent for ovarian cancer patients. In this setting, olaparib mono-maintenance therapy has been implemented among patients with BRCA-wild type tumors in clinical practice in China.
High grade serous ovarian cancer represents the gynecological malignancy with the highest incidence of mortality. Decision-making tools are currently limited to the use of standard imaging modalities and analysis of serum biomarkers, such as CA 125, which often have low specificity and sensitivity. Recently, a growing research interest has been aimed at so-called circulating microRNAs (miRNAs). Indeed, it has been observed that miRNAs are abundantly present in all biological fluids and play the key role of messengers in intercellular communication. Cancer cells have a rapid turnover which results in a continuous release of nucleic acids and vesicles derived from the tumor itself, such as the tumor cells themselves that separate from the tumor mass to enter the bloodstream. Given their important role as modulators of gene expression, in order to preserve their integrity, miRNAs are encapsulated in specific vesicles, in order to prevent their degradation by the enzymes present in biological fluids. In this context, the chance of monitoring the expression levels of specific miRNAs represents a very interesting option both for an early diagnosis and for monitoring the clinical response to pharmacological treatment. Currently, there are no non-invasive approaches to monitor the clinical outcome in real time, while the identification of circulating biomarkers would allow prompt intervention, possibly modifying the pharmacological management in case of progression.
In this study, the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of HCW9218 in combination with chemotherapy will be assessed in patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
