Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy in the frontline treatment of ovarian cancer in participants 70 years of age and older in routine clinical practice in Belgium. Bevacizumab will be used in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel followed by bevacizumab as maintenance in accordance with the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

This non-interventional study will evaluate the routine use and the safety and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) as first-line treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma, primary peritoneal carcinoma). Newly diagnosed patients who are initiated on carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy in combination with Avastin will be followed for up to 15 months of treatment and 12 months of follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the extraperitoneal approach is better than the transperitoneal approach for laparoscopic aortic lymphadenectomy for the surgical staging of endometrial or ovarian cancer.

This observational study will collect data about safety in female patients with advanced ovarian epithelial cancer with measurable residual disease after surger y. The treating physician has decided to treat the patients with Avastin (bevaci zumab) in combination with chemotherapy followed by Avastin monotherapy accordin g to the local label. Data will be collected for 72 weeks.

In this study the investigators would like to explore the patient and tumour characteristics of long-term survivors of ovarian cancer (>10 years). Indentifiying the characteristics of long-term survivors not only helps find prognostic factors for survival but may aid in generating hypotheses for novel therapeutic strategies.

BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are implicated in 10-15% of ovarian cancer cases, increased to 22% germline BRCA1/2 mutation frequency in patients with high grade serous histology subtype, including those women who have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. With the rapid advancement of therapeutics targeted this population, this protocol seeks to provide genetic BRCA1/2 screening to all patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer. This information may help in selection of future treatment options and genetic testing for BRCA1/2 may be used to potentially prevent a proportion of cancer for the family members. This study will be an opportunity for patient to improve access at genetic and molecular testing for BRCA1/2 mutation which could impact her future treatment option. Moreover, this study will allow to prospectively assess the proportion of patients with BRCA mutation in ovarian cancer and describe the type of mutations identified in a large population.

The investigators propose to totally abolish the emesis (vomiting) associated with the regimen of oxaliplatin + topotecan by adding a daily administration of aprepitant (Emend) for 17 days to the HT3 blocker routinely given on days 1 and 15.

This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET) imaging utilizing 18F-FSPG [(S)-4-(3-[18F]Fluoropropyl)-L-glutamic acid], a glutamic acid derivative, to image patients with ovarian cancer before undergoing surgery or transplant. Diagnostic procedures, such as 18F-FSPG PET, may help find and diagnose ovarian cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

The purpose of this study is to enroll participants who present with an adnexal mass on imaging to develop a non-invasive ovarian cancer assay to distinguish between malignant and benign masses. The study will collect blood, tissue, and health information from these individuals.

The primary objective is to administer a cross-sectional survey to directly compare the differences patients and physicians hold regarding ovarian cancer prognosis and survival, complications arising from treatment, and counseling on advance directives, living wills, palliative care, and hospice services. Overall, the project will pinpoint opportunities for better patient physician communication regarding prognosis and end-of-life care and allow for more informed and tailored decision-making.
