Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of nitrocamptothecin in treating patients who have advanced ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving monoclonal antibodies in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have ovarian cancer.

This trial will provide data on the safety and efficacy of pegfilgrastim, in terms of duration of grade 4 neutropenia, when administered on the last day or the day after a multi-day, myelosuppressive chemotherapy regimen for ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as gefitinib may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of cervical cancer. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures performed before, during, and after treatment with gefitinib may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the most effective treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well gefitinib works in treating patients with cervical cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy with or without paclitaxel in treating patients with relapsed ovarian epithelial cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of melphalan and thiotepa followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with stage III or stage IV epithelial ovarian cancer in complete remission.

GYNECO-IMM&Co is a prospective clinical and biological cohort ; this study aims to identify immune surveillance and escape mechanisms and also predictive biomarkers for survival patients who suffer from ovarian and breast carcinoma.

This is a Phase 1 first in human, open label, multi-center, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-172154 in subjects with ovarian cancer.

This is a Phase 2, open-label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of niraparib in ovarian cancer patients who have received three or four previous chemotherapy regimens. Niraparib is an orally active PARP inhibitor. Niraparib will be administered once daily continuously during a 28-day cycle. Health-related quality of life will be measured by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG). Safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), RECIST tumor assessments and safety laboratory values.

This study will be performed in women with platinum-sensitive, high-grade serous, high-grade endometrioid, undifferentiated epithelial ovarian cancer, carcinosarcoma, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (proven by central histo-pathological review). A total of 120 subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to three different treatment arms: (A) Standard arm (arm A): Carboplatin (AUC5 d1, q3w i.v.) in combination with Paclitaxel (175 mg/m² d1, q3w i.v.) or Carboplatin (AUC4 d1, q3w i.v.) in combination with Gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² d1, d8, q3w i.v.) followed by maintenance therapy with Niraparib (200/ 300 mg oral daily, q4w) // (B) First experimental arm (arm B): Ganetespib (150 mg/m2, d1, q3w) in combination with Carboplatin (AUC5 d1, q3w i.v.) followed by maintenance treatment with Niraparib (200/ 300 mg oral daily, q4w) // (C) Second experimental arm (arm C): Ganetespib (150 mg/m² d1, q3w i.v.) plus Carboplatin (AUC5 d1, q3w i.v.) followed by Ganetespib (100 mg/m² d1, d8, d15, d22, q4w i.v.) and Niraparib (200 mg oral daily, q4w). Chemotherapy treatment will be given for 6 cycles, maintenance treatment with Ganetespib will be given for a maximum of 9 months or until disease progression, maintenance treatment with Niraparib can continue until disease progression.
