Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

This is a Phase II, randomized, multi-centre study aiming at comparing the efficacy of Olaparib and Cediranib vs. weekly Paclitaxel in terms of progression free survival (PFS) in platinum refractory or resistant recurrent ovarian cancer. Patients will be randomised in a 1:1:1 ratio to three treatment arms: Arm A: Paclitaxel 80 mg/mq every week Arm B: Cediranib 20 mg/day + Olaparib 600 mg / day (i.e. 300 mg BD) given every day Arm C: Cediranib 20 mg/day given 5 days per weeks + Olaparib 600 mg / day (i.e. 300 mg BD) given 7 days per weeks

It is a prospective multi-center trial, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients will be randomized in two groups, one group will be treated with Apatinib plus Etoposide, the other will be treated with Etoposide alone. It is aimed to see the efficacy and safety of Apatinib plus Etoposide for the platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients

The purpose of this research study is to find out which type of transversus abdomens plane (TAP) and block (bupivacaine, liposomal bupivacaine or liposomal bupivacaine with re-dosing at 48-60 hours) improves your pain control and lowers your risk of post-operative common side effects of surgery and narcotic pain medications.

This is a phase 1, Open-label, multicenter Dose Escalation study of BTP-114, a novel platinum product, in patients with advanced solid tumors and BRCA or other DNA repair mutation. This clinical study is comprised of 2 sequential parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Expansion). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and the anti-cancer activity of BTP-114.

Initially, the prospect of metformin as a neoplastic treatment was considered for malignancies of the prostate, colon and pancreas. However, only select clinical studies involving the use of metformin in the treatment of ovarian cancer have documented improved survival rates. Since no first line regimen has demonstrated compelling superiority in the management of advanced stage ovarian carcinoma, the combination of paclitaxel, carboplatin, and metformin is of particular interest given the triplet's prospect for achieving increased synergy without compromising patient tolerability.

Aim of the Study is to compare two-years disease-free survival of Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC, CDDP+Paclitaxel) vs CRS alone in Stage IIIC unresectable epithelial tubal/ovarian cancer with partial or complete response after 3 cycles of 1st line chemotherapy (CBDCA +Paclitaxel).

This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel and carboplatin see how well they work compared with paclitaxel and ifosfamide in treating patients with fallopian tube, or peritoneal cavity cancer that is newly diagnosed, persistent, or has come back (recurrent). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and ifosfamide, 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. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective when given with carboplatin or ifosfamide in treating patients with uterine, ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cavity cancer.

A study to examine the combination of temsirolimus and Caelyx® (chemotherapeutic) in advanced or recurrent breast, endometrial and ovarian cancer.

Improving current strategies for detection of early stage disease can impact favorably on long-term survival of women with ovarian cancer. To reduce the morbidity and mortality of ovarian cancer, screening for this disease must detect early stage disease rather than advanced stage disease. Thus the challenge for the future is to identify and develop highly sensitive and specific tumor markers that can be applied to population-based screening for the early detection of ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known which treatment regimen may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving one of two chemotherapy regimens containing carboplatin, gemcitabine, and paclitaxel works in treating patients undergoing surgery for newly diagnosed primary stage IIIC or stage IV ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
