Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

The ultimate goal of the study is to identify potential biomarkers, immune gene expression signatures, and co-stimulatory pathways that may be used to understand the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors on gynecologic cancers.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety of weekly paclitaxel with oncothermia and weekly cisplatin with oncothermia in patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma. This trial is a randomized phase 1 trial. The investigators planned to perform it for 1 year. In this trial, a total of 12 patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma are randomly assigned to either a paclitaxel or cisplatin group in ratio of 1 to 1. Paclitaxel group are treated with weekly paclitaxel and oncothermia. Cisplatin group are treated with weekly cisplatin and oncothermia. In each group, limiting toxicity is evaluated after treating 3 patients for 4-cycles. Primary endpoint is occurrence of limiting toxicity. Secondary endpoints are response rate, progression-free survival, overall-survival, quality of life, pain, fatigue and compliance rate.

Background: - 18F-CP18 is a chemical designed for use in imaging studies. It is attracted to tumor cells that are being killed by cancer treatment. Researchers want to test it in imaging studies for people who are being treated with Birinapant. Birinapant is a drug used to treat advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers. It works kills tumor cells that have not responded to earlier treatment. 18F-CP18 may help to monitor cancer treatments with this drug. Objectives: - To test the effectiveness of 18F-CP18 imaging studies during cancer treatment with Birinapant. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who are taking Birinapant for ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. Design: Participants will have a brief physical exam. They will also answer questions about their medical history and any current medications. Participants will receive a dose of 18F-CP18, followed by an imaging study. The study will involve a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan. The scan will last 40 minutes. There will be two more PET/CT scans 1 hour and 2 hours after taking 18F-CP18. These scans will look at how the tumor cells absorb and process 18F-CP18. This is a scanning study only. No treatment will be provided as part of this study.

To study the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal injection bevacizumab combined with intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy in treatment of malignant ascites of ovarian cancer. To analyze the clinical significance of the concentration change of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in ascites in treatment of intraperitoneal injection bevacizumab

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of the active immune therapy based on the reiterated injection of fully mature, TERT (Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase)-mRNA and Survivin-peptide double loaded DCs (Dendritic Cells) [Procure®] in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, enrolled into the study within twelve weeks after completing primary therapy.

This clinical trial shall clarify the efficacy and safety of pazopanib in combination with weekly topotecan in patients with platinum-resistant or intermediate platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian and peritoneal carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of OPT-822/OPT-821 on improving Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in subjects who have non-progressive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer after cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy as initial treatment for primary disease or as salvage treatment for first relapse.

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 cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy using platinum-based chemotherapy drugs with no adjuvant therapy in treating patients with early stage invasive ovarian epithelial cancer.

RATIONALE: Gene therapy may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy in treating women who have refractory or relapsed ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of celecoxib before prophylactic oophorectomy may be an effective way to prevent the development of ovarian epithelial cancer. PURPOSE: A controlled pilot trial to study the effectiveness of celecoxib in preventing cancer in patients at high-risk for ovarian epithelial cancer who are undergoing prophylactic oophorectomy.
