Active clinical trials for "Gestational Trophoblastic Disease"

Prophylactic use of aromatase inhibitor is effective in decreasing the incidence of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN) in patients with complete hydatidiform mole (CHM)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of toripalimab plus actinomycin-D as fist-line treatment in patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with FIGO score 7. The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether toripalimab plus actinomycin-D as fist-line treatment can achieve a high complete response rate. Whether an equally high cure rate can be achieved by multi-drug chemotherapy as second-line treatment in patients who have failed fist-line treatment with toripalimab plus actinomycin-D. Participants will receive toripalimab plus actinomycin-D. Treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Treatment will be completed after 4 consolidation cycles.

Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases (GTD) are a variety of rare, pregnancy related cell multiplication disorders of cells of the placenta which can range from pre-cancerous growths to more serious lesions that can spread to nearby tissues that can cause serious health issues. Most patients that develop GTD are diagnosed at the precancerous stage early in pregnancy and undergo surgical removal of the disease from the uterus. Around 15% of patients are not cured by surgical removal alone and need to undergo further treatment with chemotherapy or further surgery; of which roughly one-third of patients are cured with a second round of surgery alone. Anti-cancer treatment with chemotherapy carries many short- and long-term side effects that can negatively affect a person's quality of living. Finding less harmful anticancer therapies that can be paired with surgery is therefore of great benefit to patients with recurrent GTD. An alternative is to pair surgery with another class of anticancer treatments, known as immunotherapies. Immunotherapy aims to encourage the bodies natural defences to fight the cancer cells. Pembrolizumab, an immunotherapeutic agent which works by preventing cancer cells from hiding from the immune system; has been proven to be an extremely safe form of anticancer therapy and is an attractive alternative to more toxic chemotherapeutic agents. The RESOLVE study aims to determine how feasible it is to deliver pre-surgical pembrolizumab to patients and determine if this is a desirable alternative; potentially leading to a larger more definitive study. We aim to recruit 20 patients to the study that will be evenly split into two arms: 10 patients to receive second evacuation alone 10 patients to receive single dose of Pembrolizumab followed by surgery All patients that take part in the study will be recruited from Charing Cross Hospital and will be followed up for a year after the date of their surgery.

The purpose of the study is to determine the overall response rate of single agent TRC105 and the combination of TRC105 and bevacizumab in patients with refractory GTN (including choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT)). Up to 30 patients will be treated.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent low-risk gestational trophoblastic tumor after a molar pregnancy.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTN) are characterized by the persistence of elevated hCG titers after complete uterine evacuation of a partial hydatidiform mole (PHM) or a complete hydatidiform mole. GTN patients are commonly treated with single agent treatment (methotrexate or actinomycine-D) or polychemotherapy (first line treatment EMA-CO) according to the predicted risk of resistance to single agent treatment by FIGO score. GTN patients with resistance to these treatments are treated with another single agent drug or polychemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy standard regimens are old and toxic for these young lady patients, with potential long term effects detrimental for further maternity and quality of life. There is a need for modern targeted agents with better benefit/toxicity profiles. There is a strong rational for investigating the anti-PDL1 monoclonal antibody avelumab in chemoresistant GTN patients. Several elements suggest that the normal pregnancy immune tolerance is "hijacked" by GTN cell for proliferating : Spontaneous regressions of metastasic GTN are regularly observed, thereby the role of immune system for rejecting GTN cells. Strong and constant overexpression of PDL1 and NK cells has been found in all subtypes and settings of GTN tumors from French reference gestational trophoblastic center. The case of complete and durable response to pembrolizumab was reported in a patient with multi chemo-resistant GTN.

A randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of methotrexate for the prevention of postmolar gestational trophoblastic disease among patients with high-risk hydatidiform mole.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab plus apatinib in patients with high-risk chemo-refractory or relapsed GTN.

Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of methotrexate with that of dactinomycin in treating patients who have gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether methotrexate is more effective than dactinomycin in treating patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

This phase II trial studies how well a second curettage (removal of the abnormal cancer cells in the uterus using a method of surgically removing the lining of the uterus) works in treating patients with gestational trophoblastic tumors that did not go away after a first curettage (persistent) and has not yet spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). A second curettage may be effective in treating persistent gestational trophoblastic tumors and may decrease the likelihood that patients will need chemotherapy in the near future.
