Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety and tolerability of paclitaxel and carboplatin when given in combination with Avastin to patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Objectives: Primary study goals: To investigate the safety and tolerability of carboplatin and paclitaxel administered IP in combination with IV Avastin To determine if Avastin influences the pharmacokinetics of IP administered chemotherapeutic agents Secondary study goals: To determine the systemic exposure to paclitaxel and carboplatin during initial and late cycles of IP dosing. To collect overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) To determine changes in IP VEGF levels To determine site of first recurrence Information on CA-125 response and clinical response will be descriptive as secondary goals of this study Exploratory goal: To estimate proportion of patients completing entire course of treatment

The primary objective of this phase-II study is to assess the toxicity of consolidation intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy using tomotherapy in patients with advanced optimally debulked stage International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) III ovarian cancer with a complete remission after adjuvant chemotherapy. 36 patients will be treated to a total dose of 30 Gy in 1.5 Gy fractions. The planning target-volume includes the entire peritoneal cavity and the pelvic and para-aortal node regions. Intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy allows an effective sparing of liver, kidneys and bone-marrow (vertebral bodies and pelvic bones).

RATIONALE: Quality-of-life assessment of patients undergoing cancer treatment may help determine the intermediate- and long-term effects of treatment in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies the quality of life in patients with previously treated ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether T900607-sodium is effective and safe in treating ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Squalamine lactate may stop or slow the growth of ovarian cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining squalamine lactate with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining squalamine lactate and carboplatin in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether monoclonal antibody therapy is more effective than observation for ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer that is in remission. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody therapy with that of observation in treating patients who have ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer in remission following surgery and chemotherapy.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining oxaliplatin and fluorouracil in treating patients who have recurrent ovarian cancer.

This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel to see how well it works compared to polyglutamate paclitaxel or observation only in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial, peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and polyglutamate paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Paclitaxel and polyglutamate paclitaxel may also stop the growth of ovarian epithelial or peritoneal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Sometimes, after treatment, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than polyglutamate paclitaxel or observation only in treating ovarian epithelial, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Dipyridamole may increase the effectiveness of methotrexate and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining methotrexate and dipyridamole in treating patients with advanced ovarian cancer that is recurrent after or refractory to cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

A phase II, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of IMP4297 capsules in subjects with germline and/or systemic BRCA1/2 mutated advanced ovarian cancer in china
