Active clinical trials for "Fallopian Tube Neoplasms"

This randomized phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride and combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Metformin hydrochloride may help carboplatin, paclitaxel and docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving metformin hydrochloride may help doctors learn more about the effects of metformin hydrochloride on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment. Giving metformin hydrochloride together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.

The purpose of this study is evaluate whether a prehabilitation program is feasible and useful for women with advanced ovarian cancer receiving chemotherapy in preparation for debulking surgery.

In BriTROC-2, up to 250 women with a confirmed diagnosis of high-grade serous/high-grade endometrioid or carcinosarcoma will be eligible for full consent (Part 2) and registration to BriTROC-2 and will be followed prospectively until first relapse. Women with presumed newly-diagnosed high-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum can be approached for consent to Part 1 (screening consent) of BriTROC-2 prior to formal diagnosis. The aim of this study is to acquire tumour material at diagnosis and relapse, whole blood for genomic analysis and plasma for ctDNA. This study will also isolate single cells and establish organoid cultures from ascites/peritoneal washings.

Observational study that will be collecting clinical and molecular health information from cancer patients who have received comprehensive genomic profiling and meet the specific eligibility criteria outlined for each cohort with the goal of conducting research to advance cancer care and create a dataset that furthers cancer research.

The study aims to develop a test for early detection of ovarian cancer using DNA from a growth involving the ovary found in a washing of the uterus (womb), and proteins found in the blood. The samples of the wash and the blood will be taken before surgery. After surgery, doctors will determine whether the participant had ovarian cancer or a benign disease of the ovaries. The tests of the washings and the blood will be examined to see how much the participants with ovarian cancer can be separated from the participants with a benign ovarian disease by the tests. Small amounts from the washing and the blood samples will be sent to four sites for analysis. Statistical analyses of these data will compare tumor DNA found in the washing of the uterus with proteins in the blood to detect cases of ovarian cancer. The primary goal is to find tests that are mostly positive for cases of ovarian cancer and mostly negative for patients with benign disease. It is hoped that if the tests work for participants with symptoms of the disease that these tests will also work when testing women who have no symptoms. A new study would be needed to see if the tests worked in this situation. If the tests work, this could lead to increasing the number of cases detected in early stage disease and decreasing the number of cases detected in late stage disease. If this change in late stage is large, it will likely reduce deaths due to ovarian cancer.

This is a prospective observational multi-country, multi-center study of a large real-world cohort of first line (1L) epithelial ovarian cancer patients, exposed to standard of care (SOC) treatment stratified according to BRCA1/2 and HRD status.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a widely prevalent virus in the general US population, has been shown to be associated with increased inflammation and mortality. Previous small pilot studies have demonstrated that latent CMV may be reactivated during chemotherapy in cancer patients, and may be associated with unfavorable cancer outcomes such as fatigue and increased mortality. The central research idea for this study, supported by previous preliminary data, is that CMV reactivation is an unrecognized complicating factor in the treatment of ovarian cancer that impacts patient outcomes. The overarching goals of this observational study are: To assess how CMV infection is associated with ovarian cancer symptoms over the course of the disease and its treatment. To describe the relationship between CMV reactivation in ovarian cancer patients, survival, fatigue, and other QOL outcomes, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.

The goal of this observational study is to identify and analyze the characteristics, treatment trends, prognostic factors and survival prognosis of Korean gynecologic cancer patients. Ultimately, the final goal is to contribute to the development of safe surgical methods and treatment for gynecologic cancer to improve survival rates.

This will be a non-blinded, single arm study to test the efficacy of Regorafenib in patients with recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer.

Background: - Birinapant is an experimental cancer treatment drug. It removes certain proteins in cells, which helps to kill the cells. The drug is more likely to cause the death of cancer cells than normal cells because cancer cells have more of these proteins. Studies suggest that it can help treat ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Researchers want to see how well Birinapant works against the three types of cancer. Objectives: - To test the effectiveness of Birinapant for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. Tumor tissue samples may be collected before treatment. Imaging studies will also be performed. Participants will have an infusion of Birinapant once per week for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a break for a week on the fourth week. This 4-week schedule is one cycle of treatment. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Another optional tumor biopsy will be collected 6 weeks after the start of treatment. Treatment will continue as long as the cancer does not grow and the side effects are not severe.
