Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

A cohort establishment study of total management of ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer).

Aim of Work is Prevention of unnecessary laparotomies and failed attempts to perform optimal cytoreduction in women with advanced ovarian cancer.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of human mesenchymal stem cells with interferon beta (MSC-INFb) that can be given to patients with ovarian cancer and to test the safety of the MSC-INFb. This is an investigational study. MSC-INFb infusions for ovarian cancer is investigational. Up to 21 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Regorafenib is an oral multikinase inhibitor that blocks the activity of kinases involved in angiogenesis (VEGFR 1,2,3 and TEK), oncogenesis (KIT, Ret Proto-Oncogene (RET), Raf-1 Proto-Oncogene, Serine/Threonine Kinase (RAF1) and BRAF) and tumour growth (PDGFR and FGFR). Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) cell lines frequently express high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and in vivo preclinical studies evaluating Regorafenib have shown promising activity in ovarian cancer. In the clinic, anti-angiogenesis therapy with bevacizumab (a monoclonal antibody to VEGF) has already emerged as an important cornerstone in the management of ovarian cancer both as part of frontline adjuvant treatment and as second-line therapy for platinum-sensitive recurrent disease. Whilst Regorafenib has been FDA approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have failed prior bevacizumab, it's role in the management of ovarian cancer remains to be defined.

This study is designed to explore the potential of the epigenetic agent RRx-001 to sensitize patients who previously received and now have failed a platinum based doublet regimen. RRx-001 is administered with autologous blood once weekly followed by or in combination with reintroduction of platinum-based doublet therapy.

Adoptive T cell therapy (ACT) with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has achieved impressive clinical results with durable complete responses in patients with metastatic melanoma. Recently, the investigators have completed a pilot study treating 6 patients with metastatic ovarian cancer. The TILs are isolated from patients own tumor tissue followed by in vitro expansion and activation for around 4-6 weeks. Before TIL infusion the patients receive 1 week of preconditioning chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After TIL infusion Interleukin-2 is administered to support T cell activation and proliferation in vivo. The investigators recent pilot study has shown TIL therapy in patients with metastatic ovarian cancer to be feasible and tolerable. Mainly transient clinical responses where observed and therefore the investigators plan to combine TIL therapy with checkpoint inhibitors to potentially increase the clinical effect.

The overall objectiv is to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of novel agents for the management of relapsed ovarian cancer, and in part 2 efficacy of novel agents compared to the standard of care (SoC).

A phase Ib trial study of trabectedin when prescribed in combination with durvalumab in locally advanced/unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma and ovarian carcinomas.

Cellceutix has developed Kevetrin (thioureidobutyronitrile), belonging to an anti-proliferative p53 activator pharmacological class, for the treatment of cancer. Nonclinical studies have demonstrated that Kevetrin induces apoptosis by activation of wild type p53 and induces apoptosis in mutant p53 cells by degradation of oncogenic mutant p53. In this Phase 2 study, two different short-term treatment regimens of Kevetrin will be evaluated for safety, tolerability, changes in biomarkers/objective tumor response, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Kevetrin when administered to subjects with platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer.

The OReO study will be a Phase IIIb, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study to assess the efficacy and tolerability of Olaparib retreatment, versus matching placebo, in non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients (including patients with primary peritoneal and/or fallopian tube cancer)
