Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

Intend of use: A blood test for Cancer Associated Antibodies (CAAA) is an aid in initial diagnosis of ovarian cancer in women with suspected ovarian pathology as detected by primary diagnostic techniques. Test Description: Blood is collected from patients and serum/plasma is tested for the presence of CAAA on experimental test kit. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of the CAAA test. Target Population: The study population will include women that have been diagnosed with suspected ovarian cancer (OC), verified by pathology/cytology as patients, women with suspected ovarian cancer but verified by pathology/cytology as non-cancers and a control set of blood samples will be collected from age matched women with no history of cancer. Structure: Women that will be enrolled for the study will be checked for the presence of CAAAb, and the results of the CAAAb test will be compared to the pathology submitted by the physicians in the participating centers for the patient population and to the clinical history for the control population. Sample Size: The investigators will collect at least 50 patients verified by pathology/cytology and for each patient at least two aged matched healthy controls and two aged matched suspected but verified as non-cancers. Total amount at least 250 samples. (Multi center study, statistical rationale provided below). Primary Effectiveness Variables: The effectiveness of the test will be defined by the specificity of the test conditionally that the sensitivity is not lower than a pre-defined level of 95%. Endpoint: The endpoint of this study is to show that the effectiveness is higher than 50%. Clinical Monitor: For each site a dedicated CRO will be appointed to monitor the clinical trials. All data will be stored in a protected internet-based database, and any changes of the data will be traced and recorded.

The goal of this research study is to learn more about how women feel about an ovarian cancer screening program that involves getting a blood test to measure CA 125 levels. This includes finding out about women's quality of life and whether they are concerned or worried about their risk of developing cancer. This study also seeks to find out whether elevated CA 125 levels affect participants in terms of cancer worries or concerns.

This is an observational phase IV study evaluating Niraparib as maintenance treatment in patients with platinum sensitive, platinum responsive, recurrent ovarian cancer in a real life setting.

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is an important molecular biomarker for Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) which is a significant progress in the treatment of ovarian cancer. However, the proportion of HRD positive in real world and relationship of HRD status with PARPi in Chinese ovarian cancer patients remains unknown.

This trial studies the chemotherapy toxicity on quality of life in older patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer. Learning about the side effects of chemotherapy in older patients may help doctors plan better ways to treat cancer.

Adjuvant chemotherapy was introduced in patients with early-stage ovarian cancer. The benefit of standard chemotherapeutic regimens including taxane has not been established. This study was conducted to investigate the influences of regimens of front-line chemotherapy on on recurrence and survival for early-stage ovarian adenocarcinoma. Further, the study will analyze cost-effectiveness of different regimens

The main goal of this study is to employ a novel proteomic approach to identify predictive tumor biomarkers that will increase the efficacy of insulin-like growth factor (IGF1R) targeted therapy in epithelial ovarian cancer. It is expected that these predictive biomarkers will be applied to increase the response rate in selected groups of patients.

MIRRORS "Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery, Role in Optimal Debulking Ovarian Cancer, Recovery & Survival" is a new United Kingdom based prospective feasibility study the purpose of which is to establish the feasibility of launching a British multicentre randomised control trial of Robotic interval debulking surgery for ovarian cancer (including cancer of the fallopian tube & peritoneum) in the future. This initial feasibility study will focus on the ability to recruit patients, acceptability, quality of life, the rate at which it is possible to remove all visible tumour and the rate of conversion to open surgery. Ultimately the investigators would like to determine whether, in selected patients, robotic surgery offers improved quality of life and recovery with equivalent overall and progression free survival. Robotic surgery is unlikely to be suitable in all cases of ovarian cancer, particularly those with large pelvic masses or extensive disease around the upper part of the abdomen, however, it has the potential to provide significant recovery and quality of life benefits to a selected group of patients. MIRRORS - ICG "Peritoneal angiography / perfusion assessment using Indocyanine green (ICG) in patients with advanced ovarian cancers" is a ancillary study within MIRRORS. Using ICG dye, the investigators aim to observe whether there are any changes in the blood vessel pattern associated with the tumour deposits the investigators remove that makes them distinctive. The ICG will not be used to guide where biopsies are taken or tissue is removed. Participation in this ancillary research is not required for participation in the trial.

Platinum-sensitive is an important basis for the treatment of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) without effective methods to predict.We aimed to develop and validate the EOC deep learning system to predict the platinum-sensitive of EOC patients through analysis of enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images before initial treatment.Ninety-three EOC patients received platinum-based chemotherapy (>= 4 cycles) and debulking surgery from Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospitalin China from January 2011 to January 2020 were enrolled. This deep-learning EOC signature achieved a high predictive power for platinum-sensitive, and the signature based on MRI whole volume is better than that on primary tumor area only.

The purpose of the study is to understand why there are differences between individuals in the way they respond to paclitaxel chemotherapy.
