Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. SBRT may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

The study consists of two parts: Drug Interaction (Pharmacokinetic) Phase and Pharmacodynamic Phase The primary study objective for the Drug Interaction Study is to determine the pharmacokinetic interactions between RAD001 and JI-101. The primary study objective for the Pharmacodynamic Study is progression-free survival at 2 moths, evaluated separately in each of the three cohorts. These will include a determination of tumor response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria and an assessment of ephrinB4 expression in blood samples. Secondary objectives are to determine safety and tolerability of JI-101. The investigational products are everolimus (42-O-(2-hydroxyethyl) rapamycin) and JI-101 (1-[1-(2-amino-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl]-3-(5-bromo-2 methoxy-phenyl)-urea) Eligible patients meeting all study entry criteria will be enrolled in the study. For the Drug Interaction study, patients with solid tumors will receive a single dose (10 mg) of Everolimus by mouth on Day 1 and Day 8 and JI-101 capsules (200 mg) by mouth on Day 8 and Day 15. For the Pharmacodynamic Study, all patients will receive JI-101 capsules by mouth (200 mg BID) for 28 day treatment cycles.

This is a parallel arm study to evaluate AGS-8M4 administered in combination with chemotherapy in subjects with ovarian cancer. AGS-8M4 will be administered as an IV infusion until disease worsens.

This is a single arm phase II study with a combination of Hycamptin® (topotecan) and erlotinib for a minimum of 2 cycles in patients (18 yrs of age and older) with recurrent ovarian cancer previously treated with chemotherapy drug Hycamptin® (topotecan). Up to 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.

An open label extension of the MORAb-003-002 study in order to continue the active patients in the MORAb-003-002 study on maintenance MORAb-003 infusions after the main study is closed.

RATIONALE: Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer in at least the second remission.

This multi-institutional phase I/II clinical trial will test the tolerability and efficacy of the combination sorafenib and topotecan in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, which is platinum-resistant (recurrence within 6 months from completing platinum based therapy) or refractory (progressive disease during platinum based therapy).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intraperitoneal (IP) Cisplatin combined with intravenous (IV) Paclitaxel is well tolerated in women with epithelial ovarian cancer who have had neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by initial debulking surgery.

This trial is a Phase Ib/II study of carboplatin/gemcitabine/vorinostat for the treatment of platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. The carboplatin and gemcitabine combination is an FDA approved regimen for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. Vorinostat is a type of drug called a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC inhibitor). HDAC inhibitors interact with chromosomes in the cancer cell and cause cancer cells to stop growing. Vorinostat has shown a decrease in the amount of ovarian cancer cells growing in the laboratory and also may enhance the anti-cancer effects of carboplatin.The purpose of the Phase Ib study is to determine the highest dose of the drug vorinostat that can be given safely in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine. Not everyone who participates in this research study will receive the same dose of the study drug, vorinostat, but carboplatin and gemcitabine doses are held constant. Vorinostat doses depend on previous enrollment and tolerability. The expansion Phase II study uses the vorinostat dose found in the Phase Ib study in combination with carboplatin/gemcitabine and as a single agent maintenance therapy to better understand toxicity and efficacy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Phenoxodiol may help docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of docetaxel when given together with either phenoxodiol or placebo and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent advanced ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.
