Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

Previous studies have suggested that immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for ovarian cancer may have a synergistic effect and a manageable safety profile. AK104 is a bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and CTLA-4. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AK104 combined with chemotherapy as the neoadjuvant treatment for advanced ovarian cancer.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is mostly diagnosed at late stage (III/IV), and the standard treatment for ovarian cancer includes primary debulking surgery and platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. However, scholars suggest that neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be used to reduce the tumor load and control the patient's condition. The aim of this study is to verify the efficacy of primary debulking surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Among cancer models, patients derived organoids (PDOs) best reproduce tumor's tissue architecture, intratumor heterogeneity and are able to mimic in vivo patients' drugs response. For these reasons, it has been designed a study to assess the feasibility of PDOs immune cells co-culture in OC patients and the concordance between ex vivo sensitivity and in vivo treatment response. If proven effective and reliable, PDOs could be introduced into clinical practice as empirical predictor of patients' response to antineoplastic drugs.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the fifth most common cause of cancer death. More than 40% are older than 70 years. The standard treatment is radical surgery combined with chemotherapy. More than 40% of the Danish patients will never undergo surgery. Frail and immunodeficient older patients are at higher risk of complications, and immunomodulating treatment as chemotherapy results in different outcomes in comparable patients. No accurate validated screening tool to identify frail and immunodeficient OC women exists. Optimization through comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) and physical training before and during treatment may improve outcomes and decrease associated risks. Aim: Primary endpoints will be to determine whether a CGA and physical training vs standard of care can increase the proportion of patients later on referred to interval debulking surgery, and examine the performance of validated screening tests in predicting impairments in CGA. Other endpoints will be to evaluate if intervention can improve completion of chemotherapy, to examine the association between frailty screening scores and selected biomarkers with treatment outcomes, including complications and quality of life, and ultimately to develop an improved frailty screening tool based on known screening tools, functional tests and biomarkers identifying patients who will benefit from CGA. Method: This is a nationwide, randomized intervention study. Patients ≥70 years diagnosed with primary OC at the Gynecological departments of Rigshospitalet, Odense and Roskilde University Hospitals will be included. In an interdisciplinary collaboration between medical specialists in oncology, gynecology and geriatrics, included patients will be screened for frailty using validated screening tools and functional tests. Specific biomarkers and immunologic profile will be assessed in all patients. Patients selected for neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be randomized to receive CGA or standard of care. Patients selected for primary debulking surgery or palliation will be followed in an observational cohort. Perspective: The development of a validated screening tool for frailty assessment and immunological status will help us identify frail patients who may need optimization before treatment, resulting in more patients getting optimal treatment (either surgery or chemotherapy), prevent post-treatment complications and avoid palliative patients from undergoing a redundant complex treatment.

Phase 1 trial to study the safety, pharmacokinetic and Preliminary Efficacy of STRO-002 in combination with Bevacizumab.

The study's purpose is to understand the effects of a new treatment (suba-itraconazole and tamoxifen) in epithelial ovarian cancer. Who is it for? Patients may be eligible to join this study with ovarian cancer resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy agents Study Details: Participants will receive different doses of tamoxifen and suba-itraconazole to determine the optimal combination dose. Participants will be seen by the investigators once a week for the first 3 weeks and then once every 4 weeks. Participant will be reviewed by a clinician and undergo regular blood tests, cardiac monitoring and imaging assessments.

This trial is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study evaluating the efficacy of pembrolizumab and bevacizumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) followed by pembrolizumab, bevacizumab and olaparib as a maintenance therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.This study is planned to enroll eligible 35 patients from multiple study sites in Japan.

ACTOv will compare standard 3-weekly carboplatin (AUC5), to carboplatin delivered according to an AT regimen. The AT regimen will modify carboplatin dose according to changes in the clinical-standard serum biomarker CA125 as a proxy measure of total tumour burden and an individual patient's response to the most recent chemotherapy treatment. AT could prolong sensitivity to carboplatin and extend tumour control, while simultaneously reducing chemotherapy dose and drug-induced toxicity. Carboplatin is a low cost and low toxicity drug that has an enduring and central role in ovarian cancer treatment.

This is a Phase 1b/2a, open-label, adaptive-design outpatient study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of SON-1010 in combination with atezolizumab administered to patients with advanced solid tumors (Part 1) and patients with Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer (Part 2)

This phase II trial tests how well CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or gemcitabine works in patients with solid tumors that may have spread from where they first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that have not responded to chemotherapy medications (chemorefractory). Metabolism is how the cells in the body use molecules (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) from food to get the energy they need to grow, reproduce and stay healthy. Tumor cells, however, do this process differently as they use more molecules (glucose, a type of carbohydrate) to make the energy they need to grow and spread. CPI-613 works by blocking the creation of the energy that tumor cells need to survive, grow in the body and make more tumor cells. When the energy production they need is blocked, the tumor cells can no longer survive. Hydroxychloroquine is a drug used to treat malaria and rheumatoid arthritis and may also improve the immune system in a way that tumors may be better controlled. Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by killing fast-growing abnormal cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. CPI-613 (devimistat) in combination with hydroxychloroquine and 5-fluorouracil or gemcitabine may work to better treat advanced solid tumors.
