Filter by:This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of ADP-A2M4CD8 T-cell therapy in subjects who have the appropriate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and MAGE-A4 tumor antigen. Tumor indications include endometrial, esophageal, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), gastric, head and neck, melanoma, non-small cell lung (NSCLC), ovarian or urothelial cancer.
Rationale: Cancer is primarily diagnosed by clinical presentation, imaging and pathological analysis of tissue biopsies, increasingly supported by molecular diagnostics tests. However, late diagnosis and misdiagnosis due to limitations of tissue biopsy acquisition remains a major problem. Therefore, a general blood test to pinpoint cancer early and adequately can be considered the 'Holy Grail', because diagnosis in an earlier stage significantly improves the chance of cure from cancer. Several blood-based sources are currently being evaluated as liquid biopsies, including circulating tumor (ct) DNA and circulating tumor cells, but none of these have been implemented for primary (multiclass) cancer diagnostics. Protein tumor markers have been used for decades in diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response in different cancers. Tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) can function as potential blood-based source for (early) cancer diagnostics. Blood platelets are implicated in hemostasis and wound healing. Platelets have recently emerged as central players and immediate responders in the systemic and local responses to tumor growth. Confrontation of platelets by tumor cells via transfer of tumor-associated molecules ('education') results in the sequestration of these molecules (derived from both tumor and its micro-environment), causing a distinct platelet messenger Ribonucleic acid (mRNA) profile. We have previously shown that platelets acquire glioblastoma and prostate cancer mRNA biomarkers and that glioblastoma TEP mRNA profiles harbour diagnostic potential. Furthermore, circulating tumor desoxyrubonucleic acid (ctDNA) has recently been implicated as biomarker for therapy effectiveness and survival. Objective: develop and evaluate the potential of combination of tumor markers, TEPs and ctDNA as liquid biomarkers for (early) ovarium cancer diagnostics and as markers for therapy response and survival. Study design: investigator-initiated, longitudinal, observational study. Study population: patients suspected of having ovarium cancer and are therefore planned for surgery. Main study parameters/endpoints: The difference in biomarker profile from benign ovarium lesions versus cancerous lesions. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness. There is no extra burden/risk for the patients in this study. Three extra vials of blood.
The goal of this non-randomized prospective study is to use 18F-EF5-PET/CT imaging to identify and locate intraabdominal hypoxic ovarian cancer lesions. With targeted surgical sampling, precisely obtain hypoxic and potentially chemoresistant cancer tissue for our analyses and identify key molecular differences between hypoxic and non-hypoxic tumors within the same patient. A portion of advanced stage EOC are inoperable at diagnosis and can be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) before surgery. This approach offers a unique opportunity to study how hypoxic tumor areas respond to treatment.
The study is conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of apatinib (375 mg qd) and etoposide capsule (50 mg/d, d1-14, q3w) in subjects with platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer compared with weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2, d1, d8, d15, q3w).
The goals of this prospective, observational cohort study are to determine the feasibility of implementing paclitaxel therapeutic drug monitoring for cancer patients and explore the relationship between paclitaxel drug exposure and the development of neuropathic symptoms. This trial studies if paclitaxel can be consistently measured in the blood of patients with solid tumors undergoing paclitaxel treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Nerve damage is one of the most common and severe side effects of paclitaxel. The ability to consistently measure paclitaxel in the blood may allow doctors to control the dose of paclitaxel, so that enough chemotherapy is given to kill the cancer, but the side effect of nerve damage is reduced.
This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized umbrella study to evaluate the efficacy of cytoreductive surgery and Niraparib maintenance in participants with platinum-sensitive secondary recurrent ovarian cancer. Cohort 1 will focus on participants without prior use of PARP inhibitor, and without prior secondary cytoreduction (SCR) when first recurrence. Cohort 2 will focus on participants with prior use of PARP inhibitor, but without prior SCR when first recurrence. Cohort 3 will focus on participants with SCR when first recurrence, but without prior use of PARP inhibitor.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with gynecologic cancers that have come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Talazoparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving talazoparib in combination with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with gynecologic cancers.
This trial is a translational, open-label, multicentric, prospective cohort study of 900 patients aiming to describe the PD-1 (programmed death) expression in T cells (T lymphocytes) in different solid tumors. The study will be conducted on a population of patients with local and/or metastatic malignant solid tumor and who are followed within a standard of care procedure or clinical trial. Patients with any of the following tumor types may be enrolled in the trial: - Head and neck cancer, - Ovarian cancer, - Cervical cancer, - Pre-invasive CIN III cervical cancer (Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia III cervical cancer), - Other solid tumor types (including glioblastoma, NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer), anal cancer) Each tumor type will be considered as an independent cohort. For each included patient, biological specimen (tumor sample, blood samples and ascites samples if applicable) will be collected. Study participation of each patient will be 5 years.
Prospective, monocentric study aiming to identify factors involved in platinum based-chemotherapy resistance in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (all stages). Patients will receive treatment (platinum based-chemotherapy) according to the standard practices. A prospective database and an associated biological collection will be performed during 5 years: - For each patient: clinical, biological, epidemiological and therapeutic treatment data will be collected during the standard therapeutic care. - Biological samples (blood samples, tumor biopsy specimens and ascites samples) will be collected for all patients. These samples will be collected at the same time as those taken in standard practice (no additional biopsy will be performed for the study). Study participation of each patient will be 5 years.
Ascites samples from women undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer will be collected for use in translational research.
