Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to determine if this epothilone leads to a response in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer that has progressed during, or in the last six months since a treatment of platinum-based chemotherapy. We also aim to look at the safety of the study drug and assess the impact of the infusion duration on tolerability.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and carboplatin, 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with carboplatin works in treating patients with relapsed stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of patupilone compared to pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Additionally, this study will assess the ability of patupilone to extend the survival time and potential beneficial effects in women who have nonresponsive or recurrent ovarian, primary fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of the drug combination: gemcitabine, carboplatin and bevacizumab in patients that have been diagnosed with platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.

ON 01910.Na has undergone preclinical and clinical phase I studies showing activity in patients with progressing ovarian cancer resistant to platinum-based chemotherapies. This study will look at a larger population of patients to determine whether treatment with ON 01910.Na has an effect on progression free survival rates in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. ON 01910.Na will be given as an intravenous infusion over 2 hours on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of a 28-day cycle. Patients will be treated for 6 or more cycles.

This phase II trial studies how well belinostat works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer that have spread to other places in the body or ovarian low malignant potential tumors. Belinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The purpose of this study is to determine how effective and safe a new investigational drug is in treating persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer in patients who have received a platinum/taxane based chemotherapy and whose disease continues to progress. The treatment involves a 1-hour treatment given intravenously (IV), and repeated once every 21 days. A patient may continue to receive the treatment as long as they are benefiting from the treatment. Blood samples will be taken at specific times over a 24 hour period to measure the amount of drug in your body at specific times after the drug is given. Blood samples will also be taken for routine lab tests such as complete blood counts and clinical chemistries. Physical exams will be performed before each treatment.

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as carboplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may help carboplatin kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining bortezomib with carboplatin in treating patients who have recurrent or progressive ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Phase IIA, multicenter, dose escalation study evaluating the safety and efficacy of weekly S-8184 paclitaxel injectable emulsion in second line treatment of patients with stage III or IV platinum resistant ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma.

RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining erlotinib with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining erlotinib and carboplatin in treating patients who have recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
