Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

The study is designed to assess the therapeutic efficacy and toxicity of the combination chemotherapy with pembrolizumab in recurrent, platinum resistant OC patients. The main objective is to test whether the therapeutic intervention benefits the patients evaluating the increase in overall survival with respect to chemotherapy alone.

The study is a prospective, single-arm, open label, exploratory phase 2 clinical trial, which aims to study the therapeutic effect of letrozole combined with anlotinib hydrochloride in platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.

After well-conducted treatment of ovarian, tubal and primary peritoneum cancer by maximum tumor reduction surgery and chemotherapy including platinum salt and paclitaxel, the clinical remission rate is over 50%. However, 75-80% of patients with ovarian, tube or primary peritoneum cancer recur within 2 years of the end of treatment. In the latest INCa recommendations for 2018, systematic imaging (thoraco-abdomino-pelvic scanner (CT), MRI, PET CT) is not recommended based on the literature because of its low added value compared to CA 125 dosage (sensitivity ranging from 67% to 95%, and specificity of 87% to 93%), its irradiating character (CT) and its cost. However, the recommendations are based on imaging studies dating back at least a decade. Since these studies, technological advances have improved the diagnostic performance of imaging: sensitivity is 78% for whole-body CT scans and 98% for full-body MRI for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer recurrence. Furthermore, previous randomized studies showed no survival benefit with early treatment of relapse on the basis of a high concentration of CA125 alone, so the value of routine CA125 measurement in the follow-up of ovarian cancer patients may be limited. These recent studies lead to heterogeneity in surveillance protocols for ovarian cancer patients despite recommendations. In addition, treatments for recurrences have evolved as well as maintenance treatments to become chronic treatments, with the emergence of the maintenance new treatments detecting early recurrence is particularly important (notably through the development of new molecules given in maintenance treatment). But early detection have to be balanced with the quality of life of these patients. In usual care, imaging surveillance is often carried out despite the absence of recommendations or data from the literature of high level of evidence. The question arises as to whether radiological monitoring could make an impact on patient survival without being a source of excessive false positives, patient stress and non-productive costs. QUALOV trial is a multicenter randomized study for patients in remission after treatment of advanced stage serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneum cancer (stage III and beyond). The main objective is to assess the effectiveness of systematic imaging for patients followed after advanced stage serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneum cancer

Bowel obstruction is a common complication in patients with ovarian, peritoneal and bowel cancer due to a mass or spread of disease, causing narrowing to the gut, as these cancers can grow on the bowel surface. Certain foods may lead to symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full, feeling sick, vomiting and difficulty passing a bowel motion. There is limited evidence to establish the best diet to follow when someone is diagnosed with the risk of bowel obstruction and is experiencing symptoms after eating and drinking. The Dietitians at the Royal Surrey have developed a 4 stage bowel obstruction diet which they have been using with patients for 3 years. The 4 stages are clear fluids, all thin liquids, low fibre soft smooth diet, low fibre soft sloppy diet. Depending on the severity of symptoms and the risk of a blockage, patients are asked to follow a certain stage of the diet. They are advised to move up and down the stages as symptoms improve or get worse. This feasibility study aims to investigate if the diet can be used and is effective in clinical practice. The objectives are to see if this diet is easy to follow, can reduce symptoms of bowel obstruction, can improve quality of life, and reduce admissions to hospital because of bowel blockages. Patients at risk of bowel obstruction from colorectal or ovarian cancer are eligible to participate. They will remain in the study for a period of 4 weeks, during which time they will be asked to complete a diet diary and 3 questionnaires.

This study will explore the feasibility (suitability), efficacy (research-setting outcomes), and participant satisfaction of a virtually-supervised 12-week exercise and diet intervention for women with ovarian cancer. It will include exercise, behavior change strategies, and guidance around healthy eating. Participants will be instructed and supervised virtually in two exercise sessions weekly for 12 weeks by a professional trained to deliver the program. An additional 1 exercise session per week, completed independently, will be added from weeks 4-12 of the program. Finally participants will participate in two separate virtual group nutrition sessions. Assessments will occur at baseline, end-of-intervention, and 6 months post-baseline.

A phase II, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of SC10914 in subjects with gBRCA1/2 mutated advanced ovarian cancer in china.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of secondary cytoreduction (SCR) and validate the risk model of patient selection criteria in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this study is to use 18F-EF5 PET/CT scans to locate areas with low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic cancer.

Phase I study to evaluate intraperitoneal carboplatin along with weekly intravenous paclitaxel and bevacizumab in order to establish a tolerable dose and define the toxicity of this regimen in previously untreated patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma.

The prognosis for patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer remains poor despite aggressive surgical resection and platinum-based chemotherapy. More than 60% of patients will develop recurrent disease, principally intraperitoneal, and die within 5 years. The use of whole abdominal irradiation (WAI) as consolidation therapy would appear to be a logical strategy, but despite whole abdominal irradiation has clinically proven efficacy the use of radiotherapy in ovarian cancer has profoundly decreased mainly due to high treatment-related toxicity. Modern intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) could allow to spare kidneys, liver, and bone marrow while still adequately covering the peritoneal cavity with a homogenous dose. This study will evaluate feasibility and toxicity of adjuvant consolidation whole abdominal intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for high risk stage FIGO III patients with ovarian cancer.
