Active clinical trials for "Fallopian Tube Neoplasms"

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and vaccine therapy in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vaccines made from a peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose and schedule of sirolimus when given together with vaccine therapy in treating patients with stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. Sirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with sirolimus may be an effective treatment for ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride (PLD) work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving carboplatin and PLD together with everolimus may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given together with carboplatin and PLD in treating patients with relapsed ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cavity cancer

The purposes of this study are: To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) weekly of topotecan in combination with standard dose gefitinib in patients with relapsed, platinum-resistant, ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers that are epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) positive (>/= 1+). To determine the response rate and response duration in this patient population treated with the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of topotecan administered on a weekly schedule in combination with standard dose gefitinib, given by way of the mouth (PO) daily.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and toxicity of intravenous bevacizumab (Days 1 and 15 of a 28 day cycle) in combination with weekly topotecan (Days 1, 8, 15 of a 28 day cycle) in patients with platinum resistant recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer.

This phase II trial is studying how well eribulin mesylate works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

This study was designed to find out how effective and safe GW786034, is in the treatment of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has not responded to standard treatment.

This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared to carboplatin, paclitaxel, and placebo in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab are more effective than carboplatin, paclitaxel, and placebo in treating ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Although initially responsive to cytoreductive surgery and platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy, a majority of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, cancer of the fallopian tube or the peritoneum will eventually relapse. Recurrence within 6 months after completing platinum-containing chemotherapy indicates a platinum-refractory cancer disease. New therapeutic strategies are required in platinum-refractory disease. Inhibition of growth signals induced by the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway, or by the estrogen receptor pathway provides promising targets in epithelial ovarian cancer, cancer of the fallopian tube or the peritoneum. The trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of the epidermal growth facto tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 and the clinically established antiestrogen tamoxifen.

The main purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, PTK787, is safe and to find the highest dose that can be given safely without causing serious side effects.
