Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well tivozanib works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Tivozanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of trabectedin+DOXIL as a third-line chemotherapy regimen (treatment) in patients with platinum-sensitive advanced-relapsed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who received 2 previous lines of platinum-based chemotherapy.
Background: - Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor of the adrenal gland. Few people who develop this disease live more than 5 years after being diagnosed. Those whose tumors have spread inside their abdomen may have an especially poor outcome. In these cases, traditional chemotherapy is not very effective. One possible new treatment is aggressive surgery with heated chemotherapy. This type of treatment has been more effective for other types of cancer in the abdomen. Researchers want to see this if approach can improve the outcomes of people with ACC. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of surgery and heated chemotherapy for ACC. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have advanced ACC. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Heart function tests will be given. Imaging studies will be used to locate the surgical sites before the operation. - Participants will have surgery to remove ACC tumor tissue. After the tumors have been removed, they will have heated chemotherapy with cisplatin. The heat may help weaken any remaining cancer cells and make them easier to destroy. It will also focus the treatment on the tumor sites, rather than the whole body. - Participants will recover in the hospital for several days after surgery. They will have regular follow-up visits to monitor the outcome of the surgery.
This non-interventional study will evaluate the routine use and the safety and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) as first-line treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma, primary peritoneal carcinoma). Newly diagnosed patients who are initiated on carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy in combination with Avastin will be followed for up to 15 months of treatment and 12 months of follow-up.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well psychosexual intervention works in patients with stage I-III gynecologic or breast cancer. Psychosexual intervention may improve sexual and psychosocial function.
This pilot clinical trial studies stress reduction in improving quality of life in patients with recurrent gynecologic or breast cancer. Participating in a stress reduction program may help improve quality of life in patients with gynecologic or breast cancer.
This observational study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, quality of life and predictive/selection factors for Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in first line in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer in clinical practice. Data of eligible patients will be collected during up to 15 months of treatment and 12 months of follow-up. A second recruitment phase has been opened to focus on patients >/= 70 years.
Background: - Birinapant is an experimental cancer treatment drug. It removes certain proteins in cells, which helps to kill the cells. The drug is more likely to cause the death of cancer cells than normal cells because cancer cells have more of these proteins. Studies suggest that it can help treat ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Researchers want to see how well Birinapant works against the three types of cancer. Objectives: - To test the effectiveness of Birinapant for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. Tumor tissue samples may be collected before treatment. Imaging studies will also be performed. - Participants will have an infusion of Birinapant once per week for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a break for a week on the fourth week. This 4-week schedule is one cycle of treatment. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Another optional tumor biopsy will be collected 6 weeks after the start of treatment. - Treatment will continue as long as the cancer does not grow and the side effects are not severe.
The purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival of patients treated with VTX-2337 + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) versus those treated with PLD alone in women with recurrent or persistent, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. VTX-2337, a small molecule agonist of Toll-like Receptor 8 (TLR8), activates multiple components of the innate immune system and is being developed as a novel therapeutic agent for use in oncology. Experimental data obtained in an animal model of ovarian cancer supports the combination of VTX-2337 with PLD. In this model, the combination of VTX-2337 and PLD resulted in a significant reduction in tumor growth compared to either agent alone and an increase in the number of T lymphocytes infiltrating the tumor. The combination of PLD and VTX-2337 has been tested in a small number of women with ovarian cancer in a Phase 1b study and appears to be generally well-tolerated.
The purpose of this phase I study is to determine the highest dose of carboplatin and gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) that can be given safely to subjects with gynecologic cancer, in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). This dose is called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). To determine the MTD, patients will receive different amounts of carboplatin and gemcitabine.
