Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

Primary Objectives: To determine the efficacy of Gleevec in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant, taxane-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer whose tumor expresses either c-KIT, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGRF), or ABL. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of Gleevec in this cohort of patients.

This study is a 2 part, 2 cohort, open-label, dose escalation/de escalation study of AMG 386 in combination with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan in subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer. Up to 100 subjects will be enrolled to receive AMG 386 in combination with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin every 4 weeks (cohort A) or topotecan weekly on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28 day dosing schedule (cohort B). Subject enrollment and assignment to either cohort will be based on eligibility and the investigator's discretion. It is hypothesized that AMG 386, in combination with each of the chemotherapy regimens: either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan will be safe and well tolerated in subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer.

Monoclonal antibodies can transport and deliver radioactive elements capable of releasing sufficient amounts of energy to destroy tumor cells. In this clinical trial, we will study alpha particle radio immunotherapy using lead-212 (²¹²Pb), an isotope with a short path length targeted to malignant cells by the trastuzumab antibody, as a potential treatment for metastatic diseases. This Phase I trial is designed to determine the toxicity profile of ²¹²Pb-TCMC-Trastuzumab, its dose-limiting toxicities, and its anti-tumor effects in patients with HER-2 positive intraperitoneal cancers.

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.

Background: - The best treatment for ovarian and related female reproductive tract cancers is not yet known for patients whose disease has not responded to or has recurred after standard treatment. The cancer treatment drug pegaspargase (ONCASPAR (Trademark)), which works differently from standard chemotherapy, has been approved to treat leukemia and has been given to a small number of patient with ovarian and other types of cancer. Because pegaspargase may reduce the development of cancer cells and blood vessel cells that contribute to cancer growth and ability to spread, treatment with pegaspargase could shrink ovarian cancer tumors and help ovarian cancer patients live longer and with fewer symptoms from their disease. Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pegaspargase in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that has not responded to at least one operation, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy. Design: Before the start of the study, participants will be screened with a medical history, blood tests, imaging scans of the affected areas, tumor biopsies, and other tests as directed by the study doctors. Participants will receive an infusion of pegaspargase on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle. Participants will have dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at the start of the study, before beginning pegaspargase, and again 6 weeks into the treatment. This test will determine if pegaspargase is affecting blood flow to the cancer site. Participants will have a computed tomography scan or other imaging every other cycle (approximately every 8 weeks) to determine whether the therapy is affecting the cancer site. The treatment will be repeated as long as the participant tolerates the medication and his or her cancer is either steady or improving.

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.

Determination of progression free survival after 12 months of FU Determination of total survival, response and quality of life

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.
