Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

To compare the Overall survival of adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation in stage I epithelial ovarian cancer after comprehensive staging surgery

Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death in gynecological cancer. Approximately 75% of epithelial ovarian cancers are detected at an advanced stage. Metastasis and spread are mostly through transperitoneal planting and neighborhood by shedding from the ovarian surface. Metastasis mostly occurs in the peritoneum, omentum, and intestines. The rectosigmoid colon is the main part of the intestine affected by metastasis due to its neighborhood. Treatment in ovarian cancer consists of a combination of cytoreduction surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Surgery is the basis of the treatment, and the main goal is to achieve no residual visible tumor (complete cytoreduction: R0). The residual tumor is one of the main factors affecting survival and reflects the possibilities of the surgical center and the team. Multiple surgical procedures (total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, total omentectomy, peritonectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomies such as pelvic and paraaortic, bowel resections, splenectomy, distal pancreatectomy, various resections related to the bladder, liver, stomach, and diaphragm) may be required to achieve complete or optimal cytoreduction. In the involvement of the rectosigmoid colon, primarily the serosa, then the muscular layer and finally the mucosa are infiltrated due to the nature of the spread, and therefore most of the involvement is observed in the seromuscular layer. In seromuscular infiltration, resection of the rectosigmoid colon or shaving of tumoral implants without resection can be performed. There are advantages and disadvantages of each method in terms of morbidity. Although there are retrospective studies evaluating recurrence and survival between both methods, as far as investigators know, no randomized prospective studies have been conducted comparing these two methods. The investigators designed this study to compare these two methods successfully applied in our clinic in a prospective randomized study.

The purpose of this Phase I study is to determine if the PARP inhibitor olaparib can be safely combined with navitoclax, an inhibitor of Bcl-2/Bcl-XL, in women with TNBC who have somatic or germline mutations in breast cancer gene one (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene two (BRCA2) BRCA1/2 or PALB2 and in women with recurrent HGSC who have progressed greater than 6 months since their last platinum containing chemotherapy. The trial is designed as an open- label multi-center Phase I interventional and translational study. It will identify the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and RP2D of olaparib combined with navitoclax for study in Phase II. There is a plan for a follow on Phase II study depending on the results obtained during this Phase I trial.The rationale for this study is that for a subset of patients, olaparib, will increase tumor cell survival dependence on inhibition of cell death by Bcl 2/Bcl- XL. Thus, navitoclax will augment apoptosis induced by PARP inhibition with olaparib.

Primary objective of this trial is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel combined with a fixed dose of cisplatin (75 mg/m2) delivered as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with ovarian cancer. In this single-center Phase I trial, Bayesian Optimal Interval Design (TITE-BOIN) was used. The starting dose for paclitaxel was 175 mg/m2, with escalation in 25 mg/m2 increments until the MTD was determined or the maximum dose level of 225 mg/m2 was reached. The target dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate was 25%, and the total sample size was 30 patients.

This is a single arm feasibility study in patients with primary FIGO stage IV serous ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer to evaluate neo-adjuvant + adjuvant pembrolizumab for its capacity to induce and broaden T cell responses against tumor neo-antigens.

The objective of REVOCAN study is to assess the abrogation of PARP inhibitors resistance in patients with relapsed platinum sensitive ovarian cancer treated with PARP inhibitors in maintenance since at least 6 months and who have only an increase of CA 125 without any progression according to RECIST criteria. AsiDNATM at 600 mg will be tested in addition to PARP inhibitors given according to the label in REVOCAN study.

The goal of this non-randomized prospective study is to use 18F-EF5-PET/CT imaging to identify and locate intraabdominal hypoxic ovarian cancer lesions. With targeted surgical sampling, precisely obtain hypoxic and potentially chemoresistant cancer tissue for our analyses and identify key molecular differences between hypoxic and non-hypoxic tumors within the same patient. A portion of advanced stage EOC are inoperable at diagnosis and can be treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) before surgery. This approach offers a unique opportunity to study how hypoxic tumor areas respond to treatment.

Bioequivalence study is proposed to be carried out on patients of breast cancer/ ovarian cancer, who are administrated for Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposomal Injection Lipodox® or Caelyx® in a dose of 50 mg/m2.

The primary objective is to evaluate in participants with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), whether the reduction from baseline in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) at Cycle 3 (ΔctDNA) is larger in participants receiving MK-4830 + pembrolizumab in combination with standard of care (SOC) therapy than in those receiving pembrolizumab + SOC therapy.

The pre-operative assessment of intra-abdominal tumor load in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unreliable with standard imaging modalities. The use of tumor targeted imaging, such as folate receptor (FR)-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging could aid in the preoperative assessment of metastatic tumor load. This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the [18F]fluoro-PEG-folate PET tracer and to assess the sensitivity and specificity of a [18F]fluoro-PEG-folate PET/CT scan for the preoperative detection of intra-abdominal metastatic lesions in patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer.
