Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

This was an exploratory proof of concept study to determine the clinical activity of tasquinimod in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and gastric carcinoma who had progressed after standard therapies.

Patients with early and advanced stages of epithelial ovarian cancer are treated with postoperative systemic chemotherapy after appropriate surgical staging and cytoreductive surgery. For ovarian cancer patients with recurrence, salvage chemotherapy with or without secondary cytoreductive surgery are recommended. The recommendation for specific primary adjuvant or salvage chemotherapy is cyclophosphamide or paclitaxel plus platinum regimens. Despite the high objective response rate associated with primary chemotherapy in ovarian cancer, the majority of patients will eventually experience disease recurrence and be potential candidates for a second-line treatment approach. Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (OCCA) is recognized as a distinct histological type of cancer in the WHO-classification of ovarian tumors. OCCA is thought to arise from endometriosis and most patients present with the disease at early stages (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages I and II). The incidence of OCCA among epithelial ovarian cancers is estimated to be less than 5-10%. However, OCCA occurs more frequent in Japan and Taiwan (around 10-15%). Unfortunately, OCCA is usually more resistant to systemic chemotherapy than other types and has a poorer prognosis. Sunitinib is a small molecule with anti-tumor properties pharmacologically mediated through inhibition of multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKs), which are important regulators of tumor cell growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Due to its multi-targeted profile, the pharmacological activity of sunitinib is likely mediated by inhibition of multiple RTK targets and multiple pathways. c-KIT has been implicated in mastocytosis/mast cell leukemia, germ cell cancers, small-cell lung cancer, GISTs, AML, neuroblastoma, melanoma, and ovarian and breast carcinoma. In addition, sunitinib has demonstrated a higher response rate than that reported for anti- VEGF antibody treatment in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A few clinical case reports indicated sunitinib is effective in treating recurrent ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (OCCA) which is almost resistant to second line chemotherapy. So we would like to conduct this Phase II Sunitinib clinical trial in recurrent / persistent ovarian clear cell cancer patients.

Single -arm, multicenter phase-II trial for catumaxomab and chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer to investigate the feasibility and clinical activity of initial intraperitoneal catumaxomab followed by chemotherapy regimes.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether DCVAC/OvCa added to chemotherapy (carboplatin and gemcitabine as second line chemotherapy) may result in prolongation of progression free survival (PFS).

This phase I, open label dose escalation study will investigate the addition of BIBF 1120 to treatment with the combination of carboplatin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) in patients with advanced, platinum sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma or primary peritoneal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the toxicity and activity of weekly administration of carboplatin and paclitaxel as first-line chemotherapy for elderly patients with ovarian cancer stage IC-IV.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, limited pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety of 1,000 mg of Panzem® NCD administered orally four times a day to patients with recurrent or resistant epithelial ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and the toxicity of capecitabine as monotherapy in the treatment of platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of eribulin mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.
