Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

Open-label, cohort study to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of daily niraparib and daily brivanib for one 28-day cycle in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the synergistic effects of durvalumab and tremelimumab plus chemotherapy in advanced-stage ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic cancer. The current standard therapy is surgical cytoreduction followed by taxane-platinum combination chemotherapy. However, most patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer will experience a relapse of disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve outcomes of patients with this aggressive cancer. Research hypothesis: Adding durvalumab and tremelimumab to current neoadjuvant chemotherapy (front-line therapy) in advanced-stage ovarian cancer can increase response rate and improve patient's outcome such as progression-free survival and overall survival with minimal effects on safety.

The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib with albumin-bound paclitaxel in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.

The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of infusion of autologous ovarian cancer immunogene-modified T cells (OC-IgT cells).

The study is evaluated the effacy and safety of apatinib combined with chemotherapy in the advanced ovarian cancer

This is a single-arm, open-label, phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ovarian cancer specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (OC-CTLs) in women.

With 4,600 new cases in France in 2012, ovarian cancer is the seventh most common cancer in women and the fourth cause of mortality by cancer. Despite a high response rate to initial treatment, most patients will relapse within 2 years. No standard treatment has yet been established for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Most patients with such recurrences are currently treated with new combinations of systemic chemotherapy. A repeated laparotomy with complete cytoreduction is also an option that several authors have used to obtain median survival rates of more than 30 months. Twenty five percent of patients experiencing relapse present with platinum-resistant recurrence, occurring less than 6 months after chemotherapy completion. Recently, Pujade et al. showed that adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) in this subgroup of patients with poor prognoses (16.6 months versus 13.3 months in women treated with chemotherapy alone). Three case control studies have compared systemic chemotherapy and CRS (Cytoreduction Surgery) alone versus CRS plus HIPEC in patients with recurrent disease. They showed significantly improved results with the addition of HIPEC. In the French registry that included 474 patients with recurrence and peritoneal carcinomatosis, the median PFS was 13.8 months for platinum-resistant patients and 13 months for platinum-sensitive patients. Our hypothesis is that surgery would reduce the tumor burden and consequently the number of platinum-resistant tumor clones and that HIPEC would control the microscopic residual disease by increasing the tumor cell cytotoxicity. We assume that adding a locoregional treatment to an "Aurelia-like" systemic treatment would improve the PFS. We aim to assess the benefit of adding surgery and HIPEC to the treatment of first or second platinum-resistant recurrence compared to chemotherapy + bevacizumab.

This trial is a Phase I open-label safety study of Prolanta™, a recombinant analog of the human prolactin protein with a single amino acid substitution to create an antagonist of the prolactin receptor. The Sponsor believes that blocking the prolactin receptor in patients with ovarian and other cancers will be effective as a monotherapy or in combination with other chemotherapies. This Phase I study will be conducted in Subjects with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.

Background: Epithelial Ovarian Cancer is the most lethal amongst the gynecologic malignancies and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States.1 Despite initial high response rates, 50% to 75% of women who present with advanced disease suffer relapse and require re treatment2.The optimal treatment for platinum resistant ovarian cancer remains hotly debated. Combination chemotherapy is not favored due to its increased toxicity and lack of convincing benefit when compared to single agent chemotherapy.3,4 Recently, the addition of bevacizumab to single agent chemotherapy in the AURELIA study improved progression free survival (PFS) from 3.4 months to 6.7 months. Response rates were also improved from 11.8% versus 27.3% (p= 0 .001).9 Aim: To determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of weekly paclitaxel in combination with LDWART. The recommended phase II dose (RP2D) will be based on the MTD in this Phase I study. Method: This study is designed as a prospective, single arm phase I study with 3+3 with dose de-escalation and cohort expansion. All patients will receive weekly paclitaxel at a pre specified dose of 80 mg/m2, 70 mg/m2, 60mg/m2 or 50 mg/m2 via intravenous infusion according to institution specific standard practices. Cycles of chemotherapy will be administered weekly without interruption on Days 1,8,15,22,29,36 for a total of 6 weekly cycles in combination with LDWART(Fig.1). LDWART will be given at 60 cGy fractions, twice daily for two days, with a minimum of 4 hours inter fraction interval, starting on day 1 of each cycle of weekly paclitaxel for 6 weeks.(Fig.1). Importance of proposed research: The combination of a LDWART with weekly paclitaxel may improve the efficacy of the current standard weekly paclitaxel in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients. Potential benefits and risks: The combination may improve treatment response. Adding LDWART may increase treatment risks, but these will be monitored closely.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and one year disease-free survival of total or subtotal colectomy and proctocolectomy in stage IIIc and stage IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer (EOC, FTC, PPC).
