NCT ID: NCT01770301 Completed - Clinical trials for Ovarian Sex-cord Stromal Tumor

Efficacy and Safety of Bevacizumab (Avastin®) Combined to Weekly Paclitaxel Followed by Bevacizumab (Avastin®) Alone in Patients With Relapsed Ovarian Sex-cord Stromal Tumours (ALIENOR)

ALIENOR
Start date: February 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Bevacizumab (called also Avastin ®) is a medicine preventing the creation of new blood vessels (a process called "angiogenesis"). This can reduce blood flow of the tumor and then decreasing the contribution of nutriments and oxygen to the cancer cells and prevent the tumor from growing. In various types of cancers, as lung, breast, colorectal and renal cancer, addition of the bevacizumab to chemotherapy allowed to improve the disease outcome. The bevacizumab already benefits from a marketing authorization (MMA) for these various types of cancers. The bevacizumab has also obtained MMA for the treatment of the ovarian cancer in its most frequent histological form (ovarian carcinoma). Clinical trials conducted in this indication demonstrated the importance to pursue the treatment by bevacizumab after the chemotherapy is ended. This anti-angiogenic medicine is thought to be of a potential interest in sex cords- stromal since this tumors are very well vascularized. The ALIENOR study aims to explore the interest and the clinical benefit of associating bevacizumab to the paclitaxel in order to treat patients suffering from recurring sex cords- stromal tumor treated beforehand by platinum chemotherapy

NCT ID: NCT00748657 Completed - Clinical trials for Malignant Ovarian Epithelial Tumor

Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors of the Ovary

Start date: September 22, 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well bevacizumab works in treating patients with sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary that have come back. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
