Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

A phase III prospective study with the primary objective to compare the efficacy and safety of HIPEC( Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy). The target population for this study is patients with primary or recurrence ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers undergoing CRS( Cytoreductive Surgery). Patients will be divided into two groups. Group A will undergo CRS plus HIPEC and then go on to receive standard platinum-based combination doublet intravenous chemotherapy. Group B will undergo CRS and then go on to intravenous chemotherapy.

This study is a phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bortezomib plus Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin combination therapy in a histologic type of high-grade serous carcinoma without BRCA mutation among patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.

This trial is designed to compare diagnostic and therapeutic effects of laparoscopy vs. laparotomy on early malignant ovarian cancer, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laparoscopy in early malignant ovarian cancer.

This is a phase II study in patients with recurrent platinum resistant or refractory C5 high-grade serous, endometrioid or undifferentiated ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. All patients with high-grade serous, endometrioid or undifferentiated primary peritoneum, fallopian tube or ovarian cancer will be eligible to be screened for this trial and will be required to sign a pre-screening consent form.

This research trial studies chitinase 3-like 1 (cartilage glycoprotein-39) (YKL-40) in serum samples from patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer receiving chemotherapy. Studying samples of serum in the laboratory from patients receiving chemotherapy may help doctors learn more about the effects of chemotherapy on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

This study will collect patient demographic, oncology history, and physician reported outcome information following the initial round of chemotherapy received after a commercial ChemoFx® Final Report for the generation of hypotheses of potential patient cohorts for further sub-studies.

The current standard for recurrent, persistent or metastatic cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer is palliative chemotherapy with either topotecan, liposomal doxorubicin or gemcitabine, however, the results need to be improved. Epigenetic aberrations play an important role in cancer progression by silencing growth regulatory genes and there is now evidence that inhibitors of DNA methylation and HDAC inhibition synergize the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy. Objective. To determine the superiority of epigenetic therapy with hydralazine and valproate plus topotecan over placebo plus topotecan upon progression-free survival. Hypothesis. Hydralazine and magnesium valproate associated to topotecan will increase progression-free survival from 6 to 9 months as compared with the same regimen of chemotherapy plus placebo.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving the drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating women with stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer that is refractory to paclitaxel and platinum-based regimens.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy in treating patients who have ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer.

This study aims to investigate the effect of involved-field radiotherapy for recurrent ovarian cancer after primary standard treatment. We will investigate whether the addition of involved-field RT improves 2-year PFS in those patients than that of historical data (only with other standard salvage treatments as systemic chemotherapy ± maximum tumor resection).
