Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of weekly and every 3-weeks ABI-007 in combination with carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC]=6) in patients with ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Biological therapies, such as GM-CSF, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of vaccine therapy and GM-CSF in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, non-small cell lung cancer, or mesothelioma.
Participants with ovarian cancer usually get the drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel as initial treatment. In many participants the tumor will shrink, or even disappear, after treatment with these drugs. But, unfortunately, the tumor will grow again in many participants. This trial will try to address the question: Can we delay the time till the tumor grows again by adding a 3rd drug to the standard therapy? To answer this question, participants will, by chance, either get the experimental drug enzastaurin or a "dummy pill" (placebo) during the chemotherapy and for up to 3 years after chemotherapy. Participants and physicians will not know if a participant gets enzastaurin or placebo (double-blinded trial). After a predefined time, the treatment will be uncovered, and the number of participants with tumor growth at a specific time point will be compared between the two treatments.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Sunitinib malate may inhibit the ability of cancers to grow blood vessels, something they need to grow. It may also shrink tumors.
The purpose of this project is to see if weekly carboplatin compared with phenoxodiol in combination with weekly carboplatin, is effective against late stage ovarian cancer and to see what, if any, side-effects of treatment may result.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine 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 more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving gemcitabine together with carboplatin works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer that responded to previous cisplatin or carboplatin.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving docetaxel together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with capecitabine works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cavity cancer.
This study prospectively evaluates a multidisciplinary approach to patients with intraperitoneal carcinomatosis at Washington University. Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis or pseudomyxoma peritonei will undergo debulking surgery with peritonectomy and placement of adhesive barrier film followed by repeated delayed intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 5FU with systemic oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy on a biweekly schedule. A retrospective review of patients treated in a similar manner at our institution showed good tolerance and efficacy. This formal Phase II study is planned to determine the safety, toxicities and survival of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and pseudomyxoma peritonei treated with this regimen.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of AFP464 in treating patients with metastatic or refractory solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as AFP464, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and toxicity of intravenous bevacizumab (Days 1 and 15 of a 28 day cycle) in combination with weekly topotecan (Days 1, 8, 15 of a 28 day cycle) in patients with platinum resistant recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer.
