Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, may be an effective method of finding ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well contrast-enhanced ultrasonography works in diagnosing early-stage ovarian cancer in patients with an adnexal mass undergoing surgery to remove the ovary.

Compared to non-Latina Whites, Latinas have a higher prevalence of BRCA1/2 gene mutations but lower use of genetic cancer risk assessments services (GCRA). This study will develop and assess the impact of a novel culturally targeted media intervention to improve psychosocial outcomes and GCRA use in Latinas at-risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. If the intervention is proven to be effective in a future randomized controlled trial, the intervention can be disseminated to clinics and adapted to other ethnic groups.

Multi-center, phase III trial of DCVAC/OvCa added to standard of care treatments for relapsed ovarian cancer. Patients will receive study treatment until all doses are administered, or other criteria are met.

ENGOT-OV42 / NSGO-AVATAR: This three-arm randomized trial is to demonstrate efficacy of niraparib-bevacizumab-dostarlimab triplet combination against standard of care treatment and to demonstrate efficacy of niraparib-bevacizumab-dostarlimab triplet combination against niraparib-bevacizumab doublet combination for patients with platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer

In Phase I the sponsor will systematically test conditions for lavage filtration that increase tumor cell fraction without reducing tumor mutation yield. The Sponsor will also transition all lavages to luteal phase timing, when endometrial shedding is least. In Phase II the Sponsor will examine our data in context of clinical characteristics, particularly age, to develop a multivariate model that determines optimal mutant allele frequency (MAF) diagnostic threshold by patient. Furthermore, the sponsor will explore a highly innovative idea, entailing empirically determining each individual's background mutation load, agnostic of the aging or mutagenic exposures responsible, and using this as a personalized calibrator to determine optimal MAF diagnostic threshold.

This early phase I trial studies how well a genetic test called pharmacogenomics works in directing the optimal use of supportive care medications in patients with stage III-IV cancer. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes may affect the body's response to and interaction with some prescription medications. Genes, which are inherited from parents, carry information that determines things such as eye color and blood type. Genes can also influence how patients process and respond to medications. Depending on the genetic makeup, some medications may work faster or slower or produce more or fewer side effects. Pharmacogenomics testing may help doctors learn more about how patients break down and process specific medications based on their genes and improve the quality of life of cancer patients receiving clinical care.

This phase I/II trial studies how well birinapant and carboplatin work in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as birinapant and carboplatin 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.

Despite an increase in longevity, surviving ovarian cancer often brings an array of unpleasant side effects and compromises in QOL. Our proposed trial will be the first study to test whether exercise compared with attention control has a beneficial impact on quality of life, fitness and surrogate markers of ovarian cancer. Our trial could suggest a unique and important role for exercise in ovarian cancer care given that physical and functional aspects of QOL are often the most compromised in ovarian cancer patients.

The purpose of this multicenter imaging sub study is to evaluate the biodistribution and organ pharmacokinetics of 89Zr-MMOT0530A in patients with unresectable pancreatic or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. MMOT0530A is a monoclonal antibody that targets an antigen overexpressed in pancreatic and ovarian cancer. Subsequent to imaging with 89Zr-MMOT0530A, patients will be treated with DMOT4039A in the DMO4993g protocol (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT01469793) after this study. DMOT4039A is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of the monoclonal antibody MMOT0530A and the mitotic agent monomethyl auristatin (MMAE). By imaging patients with the monoclonal antibody MMOT0530A before treatment, the correlation between tumor uptake of 89Zr-MMOT0530A and response to DMOT4039A therapy will be assessed.

The current study aims at answering the scientific question, whether exfoliated cells from STICs get transported into the uterine cavity via the fallopian tube, and whether it is possible to detect those cells in the lavage fluid from the uterine cavity and proximal fallopian tubes. To address this question, the investigators will study 20 lavage samples and their 20 corresponding STIC-positive tissue samples in women who opt for risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (rrBSO) because of increased risk of high grade serous carcinoma of the pelvis (HGSC) (mostly carrying a BRCA mutation), without a history of tubal occlusion for sterilization. Women who opt to have the fallopian tubes removed but the ovaries preserved are eligible for the study too, as are women who opt for rrBSO plus hysterectomy.
