Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of the investigational drug PLX2853 in Advanced Gynecological Malignancies with a Known ARID1A Mutation and PLX2853/Carboplatin Combination Therapy in Platinum-Resistant Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

This study evaluates blood samples and compares levels of metabolites (levels of vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, etc., that are in the blood), before and after the plasma exchange in patients scheduled to receive immunotherapy for their ovarian cancer. The information gained from this study may help researchers better understand the side effects from each treatment and possibly lessen those side effects for future treatments.

The purpose of this study is to test if delaying the start of the olaparib until there is a rise in a tumor marker called CA-125 will result in a longer time until the next or different treatment for the patient's cancer. The study will also evaluate how delaying the start of maintenance therapy will affect symptoms; physical functioning; quality of life; and impact on finances.

This is a first-in-human, open label phase I study in ovarian cancer patients with primary disease eligible for standard-of-care treatment with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, i.e. 3 cycles carboplatin/paclitaxel, interval surgery and 3 additional cycles carboplatin/paclitaxel. Eight doses of the W_ova1 vaccine will be administered prior and in combination with the (neo-)adjuvant chemotherapy to induce an anti-tumor immune response. Systemic immune responses are determined using peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected before, during and after vaccinations. Intratumoral accumulation of T-cells recognizing vaccine-encoded TAAs will be determined before vaccination in a tumor biopsy and after the 3 cycles of chemotherapy and the 5th vaccination using tumor tissue derived from interval surgery. [18F]FB-IL2 PET-CT will be used for the non-invasive assessment of T-cell activation and correlated to immunohistochemistry tumor tissue data from pre-treatment biopsy and interval debulking surgery

This study will determine whether MK-4827 can be safely administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, and if so, will obtain an estimate of the benefit of the combination in patients with ovarian cancer as compared to historical data with single agent pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. The first part of the study (Part A) is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the safety of MK-4827, when administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Part B is designed to assess preliminary clinical activity of MK-4827, when administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin to participants with ovarian cancer. It is hypothesized that MK-4827 can be administered, in conjunction with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, with acceptable tolerability and that MK-4827, administered in conjunction with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, will demonstrate a tumor response rate equal or superior to that of historical data for pegylated liposomal doxorubicin alone.

The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase II dose of lenvatinib administered in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine (Phase IB) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E7080 administered in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine compared to carboplatin and gemcitabine alone (Phase II) in participants with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this trial is to determine whether BIBF 1120 can be safely combined with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (phase I), and to determine the clinical activity of the combination in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (phase II).

This multi-centre, non-randomized open phase I/randomized phase II study will be conducted in 70 patients (10 in phase I, 60 in phase II) with platinum-refractory recurrent epithelial cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum. A total of approximately 5 national centers will participate in phase I of the study. If the starting criteria for phase II of the study are met at the end of phase I, a total of approximately 20 national centers will participate in phase II of the study.

This pilot study will help us to determine the success of using a special technique called microarray technology to examine cancer genes in order to predict how individual women will respond to one of two therapies, liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan, and which will be more effective in treating ovarian cancer that has returned (recurrent ovarian cancer). We believe that this study may lead to a means by which microarray technology can predict the most effective treatment decision, based on the genetic characteristics of her tumor tissue, for a woman with recurrent ovarian cancer. Another purpose of this study is to determine how quickly a woman with recurrent ovarian cancer will respond to treatment (treatment response rate) and to evaluate the accuracy of the genomic predictions. Recent data suggest that microarray technology can predict a patient's response to chemotherapy; this has not yet been proven in a forward-looking study which is why we are conducting this research.

The purpose of this study is to find out if the treatment combination of paclitaxel and lovastatin is more effective than the currently available chemotherapy for refractory or relapsed ovarian cancer. This research is being done to improve on currently available chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
