Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

This is an open-label, two-arm, multicenter feasibility study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pazopanib in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in female subjects with newly diagnosed advanced gynaecological tumors. Subjects will have received no prior therapy for their disease. A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 46 subjects will be enrolled. Dose schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, six subjects will be evaluated in treatment cohorts, which will be expanded to 20 subjects if initial toxicity is acceptable. Overall safety and tolerability of the regimen will be based on dose limiting toxicities, adverse events, and percentage of subjects that complete 6 courses of study treatment. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) responses.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the maximally tolerated dose and spectrum of toxicities encountered with intraperitoneal delivery of a RGD modified conditionally replicative adenovirus (Ad5-Delta 24RGD) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Secondary objectives : To determine the biologic effects encountered with intraperitoneal delivery of Ad5-Delta 24RGD in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer cells To determine immunologic response generated against Ad5-Delta 24RGD when administered intraperitoneally to patients with recurrent ovarian adenocarcinoma To determine potential clinical activity of Ad5-Delta 24RGD when administered intraperitoneally to patients with recurrent ovarian adenocarcinoma

The primary objective is to determine whether LY573636-sodium (hereafter referred to as LY573636) is effective in treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients will receive an intravenous infusion of study drug once every 28 days. Computed tomography (CT) scans and CA-125 tests will be done before the first dose and then after every other treatment.

The purpose of this project is to see if weekly carboplatin compared with phenoxodiol in combination with weekly carboplatin, is effective against late stage ovarian cancer and to see what, if any, side-effects of treatment may result.

Clinically, there has been extensive experience with topotecan and cisplatin. Recently, several investigators have evaluated the combination of paclitaxel, cisplatin and topotecan. As expected, myelosuppression was the dose-limiting factor. Herben et al recently reported the results of a phase I trial using the combination of paclitaxel, cisplatin, and topotecan as first line therapy in advanced stage ovarian cancer. Interestingly, the authors could not achieve a dose of topotecan that would be considered "optimal" for the treatment of relapsed disease in a single-agent fashion. The inability to utilize a therapeutic dose when combined with either platinum or paclitaxel has been demonstrated in previous reports and affirms the bone marrow suppressive effect. The clinical response rate from this trial was reported as 86.7%.

The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug called MORAb-003 is useful by itself or when used with other approved cancer drugs in treating women with ovarian cancer. MORAb-003 is a monoclonal antibody directed against an antigen on most ovarian cancers.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of AFP464 in treating patients with metastatic or refractory solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as AFP464, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Using the CerviPrep™ drug delivery device to apply topical gemcitabine to the cervix may be an effective way to kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well CerviPrep™ works in applying topical gemcitabine to the cervix in treating patients with primary endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, or ovarian epithelial cancer.

The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and tolerability, and number of positive response to treatment with CAELYX (50 mg/m^2), administered as monotherapy once per 4 weeks to patients with metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer, resistant to previous platinum therapy.

RATIONALE: rucaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of rucaparib and to see how well it works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer or advanced ovarian cancer.
