Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

Database of Institut Paoli-Calmettes patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer

This phase II trial studies how well surgery works in preventing ovarian cancer in patients with genetic mutations at risk of ovarian cancer. Risk reducing salpingo oophorectomy (RRSO) is surgery to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries at the same time. Interval salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (ISDO) is surgery to remove the fallopian tubes. It is not known whether ISDO works better than RRSO at lowering risk of ovarian cancer and improving the sexual function and psychosocial well-being in patients with genetic mutation.

Establishment of a tumor bank, consisting of tissue samples of tumor patients (benign and malign tumors) and healthy people as controls. The tissue samples will be collected systematically together with the corresponding clinical data. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tissue tumor bank. This tumor bank for tissue samples, together with our tumorbank for blood samples (NCT01763125) combined constitute the entity "Tumorbank".

We are the missing link in clinical trials, connecting patients and researchers seamlessly and conveniently using a mobile health platform to advance medical research. We make it easy for patients to contribute to research for medical conditions that matter most to them, regardless of their location or ability to travel.

This study will evaluate the use of a mobile application in improving the patient-reported health outcome measures (PROMIS) for patients diagnosed with advanced stage ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer. The application will incorporate clinical data from the patient's medical chart as well as capture patient-reported outcome measures on an ongoing basis to better inform physicians and the care team so that necessary interventions may be implemented.

This study will enroll 120 women living with ovarian cancer following completion of initial treatment. Our objective is to test an intervention designed to provide support during the survivorship transition for this population, who live with a high degree of morbidity related to the illness and its treatment as well as a high risk of recurrence. Study participants will be randomly assigned to receive survivorship care using the POSTCare-O process or usual care. The primary outcome is quality of life at 12 weeks after intervention.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and ovarian cancer is the most lethal. The management of both advanced cancers is a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. Standard of care chemotherapeutic treatment for uterine and ovarian cancers is toxic and severely disruptive to the patient's quality of life with the potential for devastating short and long-term side effects. The role of fasting and ketogenic diets has been evaluated in a mixed cancer population and previously shown to be safe. There is no data specifically addressing the impact of a fasting diet regimen on side effects of chemotherapy during treatment for ovarian and endometrial cancers in the front-line setting. The information gathered from this study will inform future trials about the role of time-restricted eating and its impact on side-effects associated with chemotherapy as well as its role in improvement of quality of life for women afflicted with these debilitating diseases.

NACT is a heavy oncologic treatment, which can impair functional capacity, nutritional and emotional status. These three impairments are often ignored and not taken into account in the pre-therapeutic evaluations but are correlated with postoperative morbidity and mortality after major surgery. Recently, a prehabilitation before surgery, including physical, nutritional and psycho-social support, has been defined. From a literature review, the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) seems to constitute a strong evaluation factor reflecting physical fitness, easily measured with a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) at maximal effort. Several studies have shown beneficial effects of trimodal prehabilitation programs on postoperative functional capacity, return to daily activities and pain relief. Home-based program and connected devices may improve the feasibility and the compliance to this program. The hypothesis of this study is that performing a connected supervised home-based and patient-tailored multimodal prehabilitation program from diagnosis to surgery (with or without ERAS program) during NACRT, for patients managed for ovarian cancer, will limit physical fitness alteration and will positively affect postoperative outcomes. Our study consists in an early and multidimensional (combining nutritional, physical, emotional and medical support) prehabilitation program during NACT for patients with ovarian cancer, in order to limit physical alteration before surgical treatment, and therefore improve postoperative outcomes. It will include a home-based prehabilitation program, in order to allow care access to all eligible patients.

A phase I study of LTT462 in patients with advanced solid tumors that harbor MAPK pathway alterations.

This is an open label, multi-institutional, single arm phase II trial of pembrolizumab in patients with incurable platinum refractory germ cell tumors. No randomization or blinding is involved.
