Filter by:The purposes of this study are to determine: - whether standard or higher doses of pemetrexed should be given to patients with ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer that has recurred; - the safety and side effects of standard and higher doses of pemetrexed given to patients with ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer that has recurred; - whether standard or higher doses of pemetrexed can help patients with ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer that has recurred.
This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel to see how well it works compared to polyglutamate paclitaxel or observation only in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial, peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and polyglutamate paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Paclitaxel and polyglutamate paclitaxel may also stop the growth of ovarian epithelial or peritoneal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Sometimes, after treatment, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than polyglutamate paclitaxel or observation only in treating ovarian epithelial, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well EF5 works in finding oxygen in tumor cells of patients who are undergoing surgery or biopsy for cervical, endometrial, or ovarian epithelial cancer. Diagnostic procedures using the drug EF5 to find oxygen in tumor cells may help in planning cancer treatment
The purpose of this study is to use an immunologic approach following the treatment for recurrent disease in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cellular adoptive immunotherapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing different doses of carboplatin to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IC, stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib together with gemcitabine works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving sorafenib with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells.
RATIONALE: CP-547,632 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and by stopping blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well CP-547,632 works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gemcitabine hydrochloride and tanespimycin in treating patients who have recurrent advanced ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and tanespimycin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Phenoxodiol may help cisplatin and paclitaxel kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of phenoxodiol when given together with either cisplatin or paclitaxel and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent late-stage ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that has not responded to treatment with drugs such as paclitaxel, docetaxel, cisplatin, or carboplatin.
