Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Endometrioid"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), cancer of the cervix, endometrium, ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneal cavity. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may stop or slow tumor growth by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving nab paclitaxel and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells than nab-paclitaxel alone.

While total hysterectomy without lymph node staging is standard for low- and intermediate-risk endometrial cancer, certain histopathologic factors can necessitate additional interventions. Our study assesses the influence of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy on postoperative decision-making.

This pilot phase IIa trial studies how well exemestane works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or low grade endometrial cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial tests whether pembrolizumab combined with bevacizumab with or without agonist anti-CD40 CDX-1140 works to shrink tumors in patients with ovarian cancer that has come back (recurrent). Anti-CD40 CDX-1140 works by stimulating certain immune cells within the tumor and, when combined with other immunotherapy treatments, may increase antitumor antibody production. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab and bevacizumab, may help the body's immune system, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pembrolizumab and bevacizumab with anti-CD40 CDX-1140 may decrease symptoms, prolonged survival, and improve quality of life in patients with ovarian cancer.

This study investigates whether molecular testing can help to predict the risk of endometrial cancer coming back (recurrence) after treatment in patients diagnosed with low risk endometrial cancer and scheduled to have surgery to remove the uterus and/or cervix (hysterectomy). Having sentinel lymph node mapping performed may help researchers to see if the cancer has spread in patients with low risk endometrial cancer.

This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and lymph node mapping in finding lymph node metastasis in patients with endometrial cancer that is at high risk of spreading. A PET/CT scan is a procedure that combines the pictures from a PET scan and a CT scan, which are taken at the same time from the same machine. The combined scans give more detailed pictures of areas inside the body than either scan gives by itself. Lymph node mapping uses a radioactive dye, called indocyanine green solution, to identify lymph nodes that may contain cancer cells. PET/CT and sentinel lymph node mapping may be better ways than surgery to identify cancer in the lymph nodes.

Advanced technology has enabled radiation oncologists to more accurately and precisely target radiation to areas at risk while maximally sparing healthy tissue. Furthermore, there is growing evidence demonstrating both safety and efficacy for SBRT. We propose that these advantages are translatable to the adjuvant treatment of endometrial cancer. We submit that a prescription dose of 30 Gy in 5 fractions, which equates to a 2 Gy equivalent dose (i.e an EQD2) (α/β = 10 Gy) of 48 Gy, compares favorably to the EQD2 delivered standardly for adjuvant treatment (44.25 Gy via 45Gy/25Fx; 50 Gy at vaginal surface for vault brachytherapy) and therefore should be effective and safe dose in the adjuvant setting. Through precision delivery and careful dosimetry the treatment should be safe and well tolerated with minimal impact on patient quality of life.

This is a multi-centre, investigator-initiated, dose escalation, Phase I trial of the combination of the FAK inhibitor, Defactinib (VS-6063), and the dual RAF/MEK inhibitor, VS-6766 (RO5126766) in patients with advanced solid tumours. VS-6766 (RO5126766) is the same compound as CH5126766. There are two parts to this study, the dose escalation phase and the dose expansion phase. In the dose escalation phase, cohorts of 3 to 6 patients will be enrolled to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). This will be followed by a dose expansion phase to further characterise the safety and tolerability and to assess the pharmacodynamic activity of the combination.

This study is investigating if positron emission tomography (PET)/Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is more effective than the currently used imaging modalities (computed tomography [CT], or PET/CT) for high-risk endometrial cancer. The name of the intervention involved in this study is: Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI)

This randomized phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride and combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Metformin hydrochloride may help carboplatin, paclitaxel and docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving metformin hydrochloride may help doctors learn more about the effects of metformin hydrochloride on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment. Giving metformin hydrochloride together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
