Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors detect cancer cells early and plan more effective treatment for ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: Screening trial to determine the significance of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels in detecting ovarian cancer in participants who have a high genetic risk of developing ovarian cancer.

The median age at which ovarian cancer is diagnosed is 63 years (50-75). This is still a significant adverse factor for survival results. Seventy years can be considered the lower limit for the elderly term, since most of age-related changes occur later. Because of this, this group of patients is often not included in clinical trials and sometimes they do not receive adequate treatment. Little information is available on chemotherapy treatments in elderly patients. Data on the use of first-line chemotherapy in this population have recently been published. Trabectedin in combination with PLD is indicated for platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer and is an option for those patients in whom platinum is not the best option. There are some studies with trabectedin in combination with PLD in which some patients with this profile have been included, although not exclusively. Therefore, it is of interest to study the safety and efficacy profile of this treatment in elderly patients. With this information we will be able to know its real use in routine clinical practice at the national level in Spain in this population for which not much information is available. Safety and efficacy data (e.g. PFS, ORR, OS) will be collected retrospectively in order to draw conclusions about the combination of trabectedin + PLD, as a treatment option in this patient profile.

Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer in women in Korea, with 2,600 cases occurring annually, and the number of cases is steadily increasing. There is no practical method for early detection of ovarian cancer, and 75 percent of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage. The treatment of ovarian cancer is based on surgical removal and platinum-based chemotherapy. The cell-free DNA (cfDNA) test has the advantage of being able to track and monitor mutations of tumor origin noninvasive. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker for cancer recurrence in ovarian cancer after surgery. Diagnosis and prognosis evaluation using conventional methods such as CA-125, radiologic examination (CT), had limitations in diagnosing and prognostic observation of ovarian cancer. For precise diagnostic purposes, CA-125 had limitations because it was detected as positive value when the tumor size is enough large or states of metastasis, and CT-based diagnosis is practicable only when the size of tumor is detectable. However, cell-free DNA can be detected even if the tumor size is small because it detects very small amount of mutation gene in the blood. In addition, the detection of tumor cell DNA from circulating blood can be a clinical decision making point whether to continue or stop chemotherapy. In this study, the investigators collect whole blood from patients with ovarian cancer undergoing surgery. Control samples will be obtained from patients undergoing surgery for benign adnexal disease with CA125 >35U/ml. In ovarian cancer patients, blood samples will be collected prospectively every 3 months after surgery. Mutations found at the initial sample will be monitored during chemotherapy to investigate the ctDNA pattern. The primary outcome will be progression free survival (PFS).

This study will be carried out as a retrospective, non-interventional observational review of medical records for patients in multiple countries with platinum-sensitive recurrent serous ovarian cancer. The objectives are to describe in a real-world population, treatment patterns, BRCA mutation testing and results, overall survival, health care utilization and also to estimate rates of selected treatment- and/or disease-related side effects

Retrospective Study to Analyze the Efficacy and Safety of Trabectedin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD ) in the Treatment of Patients With Platinum-sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (ROC), According to SmPC.

Investigators propose to assess,the safety and tolerability profile (number of participants with adverse events) of bevacizumab (Avastin) when added to chemotherapy as front-line treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma or primary peritoneal carcinoma

This non-therapeutic trial is for women who have received results of genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations. The trial compares decision support tools designed to facilitate informed decision making regarding risk management following testing to usual care. The researchers will test separate decision support tools for women who receive positive test results and women who receive negative/inconclusive test results. Among women who receive a positive test result, an interactive decision support intervention will be compared to a print intervention. Among women who receive an inconclusive result, an interactive intervention will be compared to usual care.

Randomised study to investigate if salpingectomies done to women wishing tubal sterilisation has an effect on ovarian reserve.

This multicenter, prospective, observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer in routine clinical practice. Eligible patients will be followed for approximately 15 months.

PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence and clinical correlation of the germline BRCA 1/2 mutation in Korean patients with high grade(HG) serous and/or endometrioid epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a nationwide case-control study on EOC conducted in Korea between 2010 and 2015, 298 Korean women with HG serous and/or endometrioid EOC were tested for gBRCA 1/2 mutation, regardless of the family history. Mutation screening was performed using the Ion AmpliSeq BRCA 1/2 Panel (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and Ion PGM platform according to the manufacturer's instructions. Clinical characteristics including survival outcome was assessed in gBRCAm carriers.
