Filter by:The goal of this observational case-control study is to learn about the circulating and tissue microRNA expression, imaging and radiomic profiles of malignant ovarian germ cell tumours (MOGCT) compared to patients with a benign OGCT and no ovarian pathology. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. To understand the circulating miRNA expression of malignant ovarian germ cell tumours (MOGCTs) compared to those with benign ovarian germ cell tumours (BOGCTs) 2. To understand the imaging profile of MOGCTs compared to that of BOGCTs 3. To establish the relationship between serum and plasma miRNA expression in response to treatment and relapse of disease 4. To discover if miRNA expression correlates with radiomic features of OGCTs on both ultrasound and MRI 5. To see if we can link the micro RNAs in tumour samples to those found in blood samples, and to find a plausible explanation for why these micro RNAs are raised (in terms of the tumour biology itself).aims Participants will have serial blood tests at different time points in their care to assess how circulating miRNA levels are affected by treatment and/or remission and/or relapse. If they have surgery, a pathology sample will be taken from the main tumour specimen. Radiomic analysis will take place on existing ultrasound images of their mass. Researchers will compare the circulating miRNA profile of patients with a benign ovarian germ cell tumour and no ovarian pathology to see where the differences lie. If a patient with a BOGCT requires surgery, a pathology sample will be taken from the main tumour specimen. Radiomic analysis will take place on existing ultrasound images of their benign mass.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of using a new treatment called autologous T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells) in patients with ovarian cancer that came back after receiving standard therapy for this cancer. The iC9.CAR.B7-H3 treatment is experimental and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The study team wants to know how much (dose) of the iC9-CAR.B7-H3 T cells are safe to use in patients without causing too many side effects and what is the maximum dose could be tolerated. There are two parts to this study. In part 1, approximately blood will be collected from subjects to prepare the iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells. The study team will collect disease-fighting T cells from the blood and modify them to prepare the iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells. In part 2, the iC9.CAR.B7-H3 T cells will be given to eligible subjects by infusion three days after completion of lymphodepletion chemotherapy.
This is a single institution phase II randomized study evaluating the potential benefits of a supplement, tart cherry juice at high- versus low-doses, to prevent taxane induced peripheral neuropathy in breast and ovarian cancer patients undergoing paclitaxel chemotherapy. Eligible participants enrolled onto the study will be block randomized in a 1:1 allocation to either the tart cherry juice high-dose group (Arm 1) or the tart cherry juice low-dose group (Arm 2).
