Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

This is a phase I, dose-escalation and phase II dose-expansion clinical trial determining the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety and tolerability of adding N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) to ovarian cancer patients who are receiving a platinum-based therapy (PBT). This study will investigate whether NAC will mitigate chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI).

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare ovarian cancer screening, risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), and prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO). The safety of RRSO and PSDO will also be studied. Ovarian cancer screening does not involve a surgical procedure. Instead, physical exams, blood tests, and ultrasound are used to check for ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer. The surgical procedures, RRSO and PSDO, are designed to lower your risk of ovarian cancer. In RRSO, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed at the same time. In PSDO, the fallopian tubes are removed and the ovaries remain in place so that the patient does not go through menopause. The ovaries are removed at a later date. The main goal of this study is to learn how many patients actually have their ovaries removed at a later date. Researchers also want to learn whether the removal of fallopian tubes will decrease the risk of ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic, invaliding, inflammatory gynaecological condition affecting 10-15% of women in reproductive age. EMS is characterized by lesions of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus involving pelvic peritoneum and ovaries. In addition, distant foci are sometimes observed. Unfortunately, the aetiology of the EMS is little known. Although non-malignant, EMS shares similar features with cancer, such as development of local and distant foci, resistance to apoptosis and invasion of other tissues with subsequent damage to the target organs. Moreover, patients with EMS (particularly ovarian EMS) showed high risk (about 3 to 10 times) of developing epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Epidemiologic, morphological and molecular studies reported endometrioma as the precursor of EOC, including clear cell (CCC) endometrioid carcinoma which are both called "EMS-related ovarian carcinoma (EROC)". To date, it remains unclear why benign EMS causes malignant transformation. This multi-step process, unlike high-grade serous carcinomas, offers the possibility to identify the carcinoma precursors enabling an early diagnosis and in the early stages of the disease. EOC is the most lethal female gynecological cancer with 25% 5-year overall survival (OS), due to the lack of effective screening tools, and rapidly spreads over the entire peritoneal surface (carcinosis) thus involving all abdominal organs. Diagnosis and clinical staging of EOC is currently performed by qualitative image evaluation although the sensitivity/specificity is suboptimal. To date, diagnostic, staging, and prognostic factors are strongly correlated with subjective assessment training and clinician experience. Genomic analysis based on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) has revealed the presence of cancer-associated gene mutations in EMS. Moreover, the chronic inflammatory process of EMS involves many factors, such as hormones, cytokines, glycoproteins, and angiogenic factors, which are expected to become early EMS biomarkers. A promising new branch of cancer research is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize new image patterns and texture and/or detecting novel biomarkers to improve the early identification of EROC patients. AI has never been used for EROC and we want to investigate whether these methods/techniques can support and even improve current diagnostics and risk assessment. AI will be used to construct a new 3D risk assessment model based on images and volume of interest

The purpose of this research study is to learn how cancer care providers can help their patients communicate the need for genetic testing in families with inherited cancer syndromes.

This is a monocenter, interventional, non-randomized study among women patients with an ovarian or tubal cancer who will receive a surgery or adjuvant chemotherapy treatment, or a neo-adjuvant chemotherapy then surgery +/- adjuvant chemotherapy. The planned interventions are collection of biological samples at different times. The study will aim to describe the immunological profile at diagnosis in terms of phenotypic : PBMCs (peripheral blood, mononuclear cells) in peripheral blood, TILs (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) in ascites and in carcinomatosis.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the added diagnostic and prognostic value of advanced medical imaging procedures in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does advanced medical imaging predict survival? Can advanced medical imaging improve radiotherapy target planning? Are advanced medical imaging results associated with risk markers found in tumor tissue? Participants will Undergo four additional imaging procedures, as compared to clinical routine examinations, two at baseline and two after three months. Be subject to clinical follow-up for five years.

This study was a single-center, open-label, investigator-initiated clinical trial (IIT) to observe and investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of SZ011 in the treatment of ovarian epithelial carcinoma

Ovarian cancer is associated with the highest mortality of all gynecologic cancers. In patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer after platinum-containing chemotherapy plus bevacizumab therapy, maintenance therapy with olaparib plus bevacizumab significantly prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) in the intended population and is recommended by guidelines. However, study shows those homologous recombinant repair defect (HRD) but Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene(BRCA) wild type have limited benefit from maintenance therapy with olaparib plus bevacizumab when surgery is with residual(no-R0). Can hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC) improve the benefits of first-line maintenance therapy in patients with non-R0 resection, HRD? The cohort study will enroll 310 patients with HRD and no-R0 resection who conduct HIPEC during primary treatment and then have olaparib plus bevacizumab as maintenance. Follow-up period is 30 months. The primary endpoint is PFS.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the side effects and effectiveness of this novel four-drug combination of chemotherapy (decitabine, selinexor, carboplatin and paclitaxel) on patients with relapsed ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Recently the investigators have found that the combination of decitabine and selinexor, two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved chemotherapy agents, may prevent or reverse the development of drug resistance and further the remissions and duration of remissions with standard ovarian cancer chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. As decitabine and selinexor are not FDA approved for the participant's cancer, these agents are investigational.

This study is a Phase II single-arm, open label, multicenter study to access the effects and tolerability of fluzoparib combined with apatinib for maintenance treatment in platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian carcinoma .
