Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

The ESME OVR Data Platform is a multi-center real life database using a retrospective data collection process in 18 French Comprehensive Cancer Center (FCCC) over 20 sites). This database compiles data from Patient's Electronic medical records (EMR), inpatient Hospitalisation records and Pharmacy records.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a dendritic cell vaccine made with autologous tumor lysate or for patients who are HLA-A2 with peptides of MUC1 and WT1 therapy will produce remissions in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. This research is being done because we want to find new therapies for treatment of relapsed or refractory (resistant to ordinary treatment) ovarian cancer. The use of vaccine therapy is research. A new experimental approach for treating refractory or relapsed ovarian cancer involves using the patients own immune system to kill the cancer cells. These immune cells are called monocytes and are harvested from blood. The process of Leukapheresis collects the monocytes called Dendritic Cells. This is usually a 3 hour process done in the comfort of a hospital bed in the apheresis lab, similar to giving blood for donation. Approximately 300cc's are collected during this process, the equivalent of about 10 ounces of blood. Once these dendritic cells are collected - a special laboratory grows and processes them into a vaccine using a patient's own tumor cells or for those with a specific HLA type (HLA-A2) with tumor peptides. This preparation is then given back to the patient hopefully to stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells. This type of treatment is considered biological research.

To determine the impact of Neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgical debulking rate, overall and disease-free survival and quality of life (QOL) in patients with advanced EOC.

This randomized clinical trial studies palliative care in improving quality of life and symptoms in patients with stage III-IV pancreatic or ovarian cancer. Palliative therapy may help patients with advanced pancreatic or ovarian cancer live more comfortably.

The primary objective of the study is to compare the performance of different camera imaging systems in assessing the positive predictive values and sensitivity of OTL38 to detect folate positive ovarian cancer cancers using the gold standard of pathologic review.

This pilot clinical trial studies mechanical stimulation in preventing bone density loss in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Mechanical stimulation may limit, prevent, or reverse bone loss, increase muscle and cardiac performance, and improve overall health

RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with ovarian cancer over time may help doctors learn more about a patient's use of medical services and the cost of these services. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting information about the patient's health and use of medical resources over time in patients with stage III ovarian cancer receiving paclitaxel and cisplatin on clinical trial GOG-172.

To evaluate the safety profile of Genexol PM combination with carboplatin for patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. We hypothesized Genexol PM can be safely administered to newly diagnosed ovarian cancer patients compared to conventional paclitaxel/carboplatin combination therapy. Therefore, we will compare the prospective cohort with a historical comparison with patients administered paclitaxel/carboplatin and paclitaxel/carboplatin/bevacizumab combination therapy.

The main objective of the proposed non-interventional study is to obtain real-world effectiveness, safety and treatment patterns data of patients with BRCAm+ (Breast Cancer Gene(s) mutation positive) platinum sensitive relapsed (PSR) ovarian cancer in German hospitals and outpatient practices treated with olaparib.

In 2015 the Danish healthcare authorities initiated major changes in the follow-up (FU) program for patients with ovarian cancer. The new FU program argues that there is no effect of routine monitoring, and every patient's FU is now individualized. These changes have caused major concern, especially regarding the omission of routine examinations aimed at detection of recurrence, since clinical symptoms of relapse can be diffuse. Clearly, tools and FU plans to support the patients in feeling safe during FU are of vital importance. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) is a tool to improve the focus on patients' needs, symptoms and preferences. It is also a tool to monitor quality of life (QoL), and side effects. 300 patients with ovarian cancer are planned to be enrolled after primary treatment when they enter follow-up program. This is a multi-center study. All participants fill in a questionnaire at baseline and then every 3 months for two years, and every 6 months the third year. The questionnaire consists of EORTC-QLQ-C30, EORTC-OV28, and questions on symptoms of relapse. At baseline the questionnaire is extended with demographic issues. The patients will also fill in a brief questionnaire (CollaboRATE) dealing with patient satisfaction and the level of shared decision making experienced. All participants are followed for 3 years.
