Filter by:To evaluate the efficacy of voloxicimab when administered at 15 mg/kg qwk in subjects with platinum-resistant, advanced epithelial ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Avastin and Docetaxel in the treatment of women with platinum sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer within 12 months of platinum chemotherapy.
Objectives: The overall objective of this prospective study is to provide a descriptive analysis of the quality of life of cancer patients enrolled on M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Protocol 2009-0528, "A Phase II Study of Hyperthermic Peritoneal Perfusion (HIPEC) for Adolescent and Young Adults with Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT) and Other Non-carcinomas". Specific Aim 1: To examine the quality of life of patients who undergo HIPEC longitudinally. It is hypothesized that physical health and functioning concerns, as reported by parent/child dyads on the Pediatric Quality of Life Cancer Module Version 3.0 (PedsQL) and the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales, will will remain stable or improve, following the surgical procedures and peritoneal perfusion described in Protocol 2009-0528. Specific Aim 2: To assess parent and patient perception of the relative benefit of HIPEC longitudinally. It is hypothesized that parents and patients will perceive HIPEC to be beneficial across time, despite the temporary postoperative pain and discomfort that is associated with the procedure. This will be done by means of a non-validated question that is specific to the surgery. Exploratory Aim: To determine whether quality of life following HIPEC varies by demographic factors (e.g., age, culture), intraoperative cisplatin dose level, or subsequent treatment modalities. Some patients who undergo HIPEC might subsequently be treated with other Phase II chemotherapy agents and/or palliative radiation, and comparing quality of life in these subgroups will be of value. Also the quality of life for groups of patients enrolled in Protocol 2009-0528 at each intraoperative cisplatin dose level will be compared.
The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy of the combination therapy of pemetrexed and carboplatin as treatment for patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. This study also includes patients with primary peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with bevacizumab is more effective than carboplatin and paclitaxel alone in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared with carboplatin and paclitaxel alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.
This study is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center study to estimate the improvement in PFS (compared to control subjects) and evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 386 in combination with paclitaxel in the treatment of subjects with advanced recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Primary Outcome Measure: • Progression free survival (PFS) Secondary Outcome Measures: - Object Response Rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR). CA-125 response rate - Safety and Tolerability - Change and duration of change on blood levels of CA-125
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of Abraxane and Carboplatin together will improve the chances of controlling recurrent ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Colony stimulating factors, such as sargramostim (GM-CSF), may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing and may also increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving GM-CSF together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation may be an effective treatment for ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving GM-CSF together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with advanced ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that did not respond to previous chemotherapy
The primary purpose of this trial is to estimate the drug effect on tumors in patients with ovarian or primary peritoneal cancers. Patients will receive Pemetrexed every 21 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. This medication will be given over 10 minutes and may be administered intravenously (IV), through a vein in your arm. Vitamin supplementation is a required part of this study.
RATIONALE: Progesterone can cause the growth of ovarian epithelial cancer , primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Hormone therapy using mifepristone may fight ovarian epithelial cancer and primary peritoneal cancer by lowering the amount of progesterone the body makes. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well mifepristone works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
