Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

This study will evaluate the immunologic and potential clinical effectiveness of intensive locoregional sequential intraperitoneal (IP) cisplatin (IPC) with intravenous (iv) paclitaxel followed by peritoneal infusion of a chemokine modulatory (CKM) regimen composed of a cocktail of IP rintatolimod and interferon-alpha (IFNα) for patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer (III-IV) at primary neoadjuvant setting. In the safety phase I phase, we determined the tolerable dose of IPC-CKM. In this phase 2 we will add intradermal (ID) autologous αDC1 vaccines (known to be nontoxic) to the tolerable IPC-CKM regimen. The effectiveness will be determined by rate of complete pathologic response.

To confirm the safety of 6 cycles of Perfusion Induced Systemic Hyperthermia (PISH) provided every 28 days in 3rd line ovarian cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to help test an idea designed to foster more supportive talk between providers (doctors or nurse practitioners), patients, and caregivers during an outpatient oncology appointment. A caregiver is the person the patient identifies is primarily involved in their healthcare. This study is collecting your reaction to this idea in order to understand needed changes before we introduce the idea to a larger group of patients.

This Phase 3 study is designed to investigate the safety, diagnostic performance, and clinical usefulness of the imaging agent Gleolan (aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride, also referred to as ALA HCl, ALA, 5-ALA), an orally administered imaging agent for the real-time detection and visualization of de novo or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer during tumor debulking.

The investigator will use a technology called PET-CT that combines a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan with a computed tomography (CT) scan. This combined imaging test, where PET and CT data are gathered at one time, will be performed on an integrated PET-CT scanner located at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The purpose of this study is to find out if the use of 68Ga-PNT6555 (FAPI) PET-CT will improve the assessment of disease extent as compared to routine CT scans.

Ovarian cancer is the second fatal gynecological cancer. More than 70% of ovarian cancer patients are diagnosed as advanced. Olaparib is the first oral poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PAPPi) approved by the U.S. Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2014. It can be used as a maintenance treatment for adult patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer after platinum-containing chemotherapy has achieved complete or partial remission. At present, most studies based on olaparib are randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Because RCTs often have strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and they are implemented in a highly standardized environment. Its internal validity is high, but the research results may not be able to be extrapolated to practice. This study is a prospective real world study. In this study, based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1), we evaluate the use of olaparib in patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer in the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and objective control rate (ORR), etc. At the same time, the safety and tolerability of olaparib and the impact on the quality of life of patients are evaluated. Finally, we analyze the results as a supplement to the conclusions of randomized controlled trials to provide better guidance for patients.

Increasing number of ovarian cancer patients are receiving PARP inhibitor as maintenance or salvage therapy. Predictive factors to PARP inhibitor other than BRCA mutation or HRD status as well as specific resistance mechanism are unknown. Thus, the objective of this study was to prospectively collect serial blood samples in ovarian cancer patients with germline BRCA mutation who receive PARP inhibitor. We investigated circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) before patients are started on PARP inhibitor and every 3 months thereafter until progression on PARP inhibitor. Through assessment of the changes in ctDNA mutational landscape, we aimed to investigate resistance mechanism to PARP inhibitor including BRCA reversion mutation.

In this study, mass spectrometry was used to analyze immune inflammation-related protein complexes, post-translational modified glycopeptide omics and tumor-related metabolomics in serum, respectively, in order to find potential metabolic small molecule biomarkers or marker profiles that can be used for early diagnosis of cancer recurrence.

PROGECT is a registry for patients with Triple Negative breast cancer (TNBC) or patients who have an identified germline mutations (such as a mutation on the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes).

The purpose of this study is evaluate whether a prehabilitation program is feasible and useful for women with advanced ovarian cancer receiving chemotherapy in preparation for debulking surgery.
