Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of an intraperitoneally administered suspension of nanoparticulate paclitaxel in patients with refractory malignancies principally confined to the peritoneal cavity.
RATIONALE: There is emerging data to suggest that the optimal use of angiogenesis inhibitors may be in combination with chemotherapy. The optimal use of atrasentan may be in combination with chemotherapy in women with relapsed and refractory ovarian cancer,fallopian tube cancer, and peritoneal serous papillary adenocarcinoma. Due to its manageable toxicity profile, ease of administration, and activity in both platinum sensitive as well as platinum-resistant patients, Doxil has become the 2nd-line treatment of choice for women with advanced stage ovarian cancer that has progressed following 1st-line platinum/taxane therapy. PURPOSE: To determine if a treatment combination of atrasentan + Doxil is an effective 2nd line treatment in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, and total-body irradiation before a donor natural killer cell infusion helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's natural killer cells. Aldesleukin may stimulate the natural killer cells to kill ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer cells. Treating the donor natural killer cells with aldesleukin may help the natural killer cells kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving laboratory-treated donor natural killer cells together with aldesleukin works when given after cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF help stem cells move from the patient's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Combination chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized trial is studying the side effects and best dose of topotecan when given together with high-dose cyclophosphamide, and carboplatin followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.
Ovarian cancer cannot grow without recruiting new blood vessels. Studies in humans have identified a novel cell population, termed vascular leukocytes (VLCs). While VLCs are not cancer cells, they support the growth of ovarian cancer cells by stimulating the growth of new blood vessels which provide the cancer with nutrients. VLCs make a protein termed CD52. An antibody therapeutic, Alemtuzumab (also know as Campath), that kills cells that make the CD52 protein has been successfully used to treat certain lymphomas (a type of blood cell cancer) that make CD52 protein. The purpose of this study is to determine if Alemtuzumab given subcutaneously (under the skin)can be safely given to patients with ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancers to kill VLCs and determine if Alemtuzumab, by eliminating VLCs, can restrict tumor growth or increase response rates to chemotherapy given after the discontinuation of chemotherapy.
This is an open-label study of liposomal doxorubicin with or without volociximab for the treatment of subjects with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer relapsed after prior therapy with Plat/Taxane-based chemo. Volociximab is an anti-angiogenic integrin inhibitor being developed for the treatment of solid tumors. Preclinical data with a surrogate volociximab antibody administered as monotherapy indicate encouraging efficacy in terms of tumor reduction and anti-angiogenic effects in mouse ovarian cancer xenograft models. In clinical studies, volociximab has been evaluated in several solid tumor types, including pancreatic, renal, and melanoma, with many subjects who entered the studies with progressive disease remaining progression-free for several months. In all studies in solid tumors, volociximab has shown a favorable safety profile when administered at 10 mg/kg q2wks and more recently at 15 mg/kg qwk. A study of volociximab in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in subjects with ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer who have relapsed after prior platin/taxane therapies is warranted to further evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety. The investigators have thus far activated stage 2 of this study at 11/25 sites. Worldwide, the study aims to enroll 150 subjects.
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.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Hyperthermia therapy kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Peritoneal infusion of heated and nonheated chemotherapy drugs after surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of hyperthermic intraperitoneal oxaliplatin followed by intraperitoneal leucovorin and fluorouracil in treating patients with peritoneal cancer.
This was a Phase 1, open-label study of repeated vaccination with NY-ESO-1 overlapping peptides (OLP4) with or without the immunoadjuvants Montanide and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid - poly-L-lysine carboxymethylcellulose (poly-ICLC) administered every 3 weeks for a total of 5 vaccinations in subjects with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer in second or third clinical remission. Study objectives included determination of the safety and immunogenicity following vaccination.
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.
