This phase IB trial evaluates the effect of niraparib and TSR-042 in treating patients with BRCA-mutated breast, pancreas, ovary, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Niraparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as TSR-042, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving niraparib and TSR-042 may kill more cancer cells.
This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of gemcitabine in combination with elimusertib (BAY 1895344) in treating patients with pancreatic, ovarian, and other solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cell from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. elimusertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving gemcitabine and elimusertib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancer.
The proposed study design is a single arm Phase II trial to document the feasibility of carboplatin-mirvetuximab - in patients with advanced-stage EOC. Patients with biopsy confirmed, newly diagnosed, advanced-stage serous EOC deemed appropriate for NACT will have their tumors evaluated for FRα receptor over-expression via a centralized immunohistochemical assay (IHC) and identified as appropriate for study participation if IHC staining is PS2+ in >75% of cells (40% of all serous patients). Eligible patients will receive NACT with one cycle of carboplatin, followed by mirvetuximab + carboplatin (if FRα +) every 21 days for three cycles prior to interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS). A total of 70 will be included in the study. Following completion of 4 cycles total of NACT and after allowing for appropriate recovery of cycle # 4, patients eligible for surgery, will undergo an iCRS. Patients will then complete 3 more cycles of mirvetuximab + carboplatin for a total of 7 intended cycles of treatment. It is up to the treating physician if they want to add bevacizumab to the last 2 cycles or use any type of maintenance therapy. The decision to add bevacizumab or use maintenance therapy does not need to be made upfront. Patients will sign a screening consent form prior to tissue biopsy. If a patient is found to be FRα negative, their treating physician can select the treatment they deem appropriate and the patient will be declared a screen failure. Patients with BRCA mutations are not excluded from this trial and are allowed to receive standard of care maintenance therapy including bevacizumab and/or PARP inhibitors.
Stomach cancer is recognized as the third leading cause of death of cancer patients worldwide. Despite the radical treatment carried out, the progression of gastric cancer occurs in 30-40% of patients. The most common type of tumor progression of this localization is peritoneal carcinomatosis. When peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, the median survival of patients does not exceed 3 months, the overall survival is no more than 6 months. Unfortunately, when peritoneal carcinomatosis occurs, palliative chemotherapy remains the only treatment option. The modern strategy for the prevention and treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis is based on the concept of regional chemotherapy. The main methods of regional chemotherapy are hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and Pressured Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC). PIPAC is a new technology for delivering chemotherapy drugs to tumor nodes on the surface of the peritoneum and allows the cytostatic to be evenly distributed over the abdominal cavity, increasing the depth of its penetration into tumor nodes due to the properties of aerosol and gradients of intra-abdominal and interstitial pressure. The method has a number of advantages over the HIPEC method: a large penetration depth of drugs, low trauma, the possibility of repeated use. We offer PIPAC for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer and a high risk of developing peritoneal carcinomatosis in an adjuvant mode in addition to standard treatment to prevent the development of carcinomatosis.
This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, uncontrolled Phase 1 study of intraperitoneal docetaxel in combination with systemic mFOLFOX6 for patients who have gastric cancer with gross peritoneal carcinomatosis (GC-PC).
This phase III trial compares minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to laparotomy in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who are receiving chemotherapy before and after surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy). MIS is a surgical procedure that uses small incision(s) and is intended to produce minimal blood loss and pain for the patient. Laparotomy is a surgical procedure which allows the doctors to remove some or all of the tumor and check if the disease has spread to other organs in the body. MIS may work the same or better than standard laparotomy after chemotherapy in prolonging the return of the disease and/or improving quality of life after surgery.
Background: Approximately 15% of gastric adenocarcinoma patients presents with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) at the first encounter and is regarded as an unresectable and end-stage disease. The recommended treatment with palliative chemotherapy alone yields a poor clinical efficacy. Emerging evidences suggest the survival benefits of complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (N-IPEC) for gastric adenocarcinoma with limited PC. Objective: To evaluate the 6-month disease control rate (DCR) of complete CRS combined with N-IPEC and systemic chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma with limited PC. Patients and methods: Patients having gastric adenocarcinoma with PCI ≤ 10 (Arm-A) or positive peritoneal wash cytology (CY1/P0) (Arm-B) will be enrolled. Patients with other distant metastasis, including brain, lung, liver, bone, will be excluded. All patients should undergo ≥ D2 gastrectomy and complete CRS followed by N-IPEC (paclitaxel] and systemic chemotherapy (high-dose fluorouracil and cisplatin [P-HDFL], or capecitabine and oxaliplatin [CAPOX]). N-IPEC (paclitaxel) will be administered in combination with systemic P-HDFL or CAPOX on day 1,8,15 or day 1,8 for each cycle, respectively. The disease status will be evaluated every 12 weeks based on the computed tomography scan, and the clinical evaluation (outpatient follow-up) will be performed every 2 weeks for whom receiving P-HDFL and every 3 weeks for whom receiving CAPOX. Patients will receive maximal 6 cycles N-IPEC with P-HDFL or 8 cycles N-IPEC with CAPOX. After N-IPEC is discontinued, P-HDFL or CAPOX will be continued alone until disease progression or death. The primary endpoint of this study is 6-month DCR, and the secondary endpoints include 6-month response rate for ascites, 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), 3-year PFS and OS, and safety profiles. Based on Simon's minimax two-stage design, this trial will be carried out in two stages. In stage I, a total number of 13 (Arm-A) / 16 (Arm-B) patients is accrued. If there are ≤ 6 (Arm-A) / ≤ 14 (Arm-B) progression-free among these 13 (Arm-A) / 16 (Arm-B) patients, the study will be early stopped. Otherwise, additional 17 (Arm-A) / 2 (Arm-B) patients will be accrued in stage II, resulting in a total number sample size of 30 (Arm-A) / 18 (Arm-B). Expected result: A ≥ 75% (Arm-A) / ≥ 95% (Arm-B) 6-month DCR could be achieved for gastric adenocarcinoma patients with limited PC (Arm-A) / with CY1P0 (Arm-B) via this treatment strategy (complete CRS + N-IPEC + P-HDFL or CAPOX) -i.e., if there are ≥ 21 (Arm-A) / ≥ 16 (Arm-B) progression-free among the 30 (Arm-A) / 18 (Arm-B) enrolled patients, we will reject the null hypothesis and claim that the treatment is promising.
Drug delivery in solid tumors, whether administered systemically or locoregionally, is hindered by an elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP). Stromal targeting therapies are in active development, aiming to enhance drug transport after systemic or locoregional delivery. To date, no clinical methods are available to quantify tumor biophysical properties (including IFP). The investigators aim to use a combination of dynamic contrast enhanced MRI and computational fluid modeling (CFD) to measure stromal IFP in patients with pancreatic cancer and in patients with ovarian or colonic peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Computational data will be correlated with therapy response, platinum drug penetration, and invasively measured biophysical parameters after intravenous (pancreas) or intraperitoneal (ovarian/colonic PC) administration of a platinum compound. This would be the first in depth clinical study addressing this important topic, and could pave the way to developing personalized computational based treatment approaches aimed at targeting the biophysical environment of the tumor stroma in order to enhance cancer drug delivery.
This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of abexinostat and palbociclib when given together with fulvestrant in treating patients with breast or gynecologic cancer. Abexinostat may prevent tumor cells from growing and multiplying and may kill tumor cells. Palbociclib may prevent or slow the growth of tumor cells when used with other anti-hormonal therapy. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast and gynecologic tumor cells. Fulvestrant may help fight breast or gynecologic cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving abexinostat, palbociclib, and fulvestrant may work better in treating patients with breast or gynecologic cancer.
