Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess feasibility and safety of using once daily Fondaparinux Sodium (ARIXTRA®) in patients with ovarian cancer who are in 'clinical remission' (no clinical evidence of disease) after chemotherapy but at high risk of ovarian cancer recurrence.
Primary Objective: 1. Evaluate the efficacy of letrozole to increase the duration of progression-free survival (defined as time to earliest occurrence of local or distant recurrence or clinically significant elevation in CA-125) when used as adjuvant treatment after completion of primary surgery and first line platinum containing chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (< 1 cm residual disease) stage IIA-IIIC ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Secondary Objective: 1. Observe the incidence of local and distant recurrences.
This a Phase 2, multicenter open label, uncontrolled 2-step design. Patients will be arranged in two groups based upon the response to their last platinum containing therapy. The two groups are, 1) Platinum Resistant Patients: patients with progressive disease while on platinum containing therapy or stable disease after at least 4 cycles; patients relapsing following an objective response while still receiving treatment; patients relapsing after an objective response within 6 months from the discontinuation of the last chemotherapy and 2) Platinum-Sensitive Patients: patients who relapsed following an objective response after 6 months from the discontinuation of platinum containing chemotherapy. All patients will receive pyridoxine at least 200mg by mouth daily beginning approximately one week prior to the initiation of the combination chemotherapy and it will continue up to the end of the last treatment cycle.
Subjects with recurrent epithelial ovarian carcinoma or primary peritoneal cancer, who have previously undergone vaccination in clinical study UPCC-11807 with DCVax-L, an autologous vaccine with DC loaded in vitro with autologous tumor lysate. Phase I Subjects enrolled in this study will receive leukapheresis; followed by cyclophosphamide/fludarabine-induced lymphodepletion; followed by adoptive transfer of ex vivo CD3/CD28-costimulated vaccine-primed peripheral blood autologous T cells; followed by a single DCVax-L vaccination, to establish feasibility and safety of this approach. Primary Objectives of Phase I To determine the feasibility and safety of administering vaccine-primed, ex vivo CD3/CD28-costimulated autologous peripheral blood T cells in combination with DCVax-L vaccination, following lymphodepletion with high dose cyclophosphamide/fludarabine. Phase II Twenty-two additional subjects will be randomized to receive either: - ARM-IIA: maintenance DCVax-L vaccination, in combination with oral metronomic cyclophosphamide, or - ARM-IIB: leukapheresis, followed by cyclophosphamide/fludarabine-induced lymphodepletion, followed by adoptive transfer of ex vivo CD3/CD28-costimulated vaccine-primed peripheral blood autologous T cells, followed by maintenance DCVax-L vaccination, plus oral metronomic cyclophosphamide. Primary Objective of Phase II To assess the distribution of progression-free survival at 6 months for patients treated with maintenance DCVax-L vaccination plus oral metronomic cyclophosphamide as well as patients treated with ex vivo CD3/CD28-costimulated vaccine-primed peripheral blood autologous T cells after lymphodepletion with high dose cyclophosphamide / fludarabine, followed by DCVax-L boost vaccination and metronomic oral cyclophosphamide.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving doxorubicin together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I and phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of carboplatin when given together with doxorubicin to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
This randomized clinical trial is studying the side effects of oregovomab and to see how well it works with or without cyclophosphamide in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that responded to second-line chemotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies, such as oregovomab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether oregovomab is more effective when given together with or without cyclophosphamide in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
Primary objective: To estimate the overall clinical response rate (CR, PR, SD) of weekly docetaxel and weekly topotecan in women with recurrent platinum resistant ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer. Secondary objectives: To access the safety and tolerability of this novel combination chemotherapy regimen of weekly docetaxel and weekly topotecan in women with recurrent platinum resistant ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer To estimate the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for women with recurrent platinum resistant ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer treated with this weekly docetaxel and weekly topotecan.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with ovarian cancer over time may help doctors learn more about a patient's use of medical services and the cost of these services. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting information about the patient's health and use of medical resources over time in patients with stage III ovarian cancer receiving paclitaxel and cisplatin on clinical trial GOG-172.
RATIONALE: Measuring levels of interleukin-6 and depression may help doctors understand the relationship between interleukin-6 and depression. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying depression and interleukin-6 production in patients with ovarian epithelial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine if either of two doses of EMD 273066 when given with a low dose of cyclophosphamide will result in a second time to progression that is as long or longer than the first time to progression
