Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

This phase II trial studies the side effects of sunitinib malate and how well it works in treating patients with ovarian cancer that is persistent or has come back. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

The current standard treatment for ovarian cancer, tubal cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer is maximal cytoreductive surgery followed by chemotherapy. Recent randomized trials of Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) revealed the survival gain in intraperitoneal chemotherapy compared to the intravenous chemotherapy after the optimal cytoreduction in ovarian cancer (GOG#104, GOG#114, GOG#172). Experts attributed such survival gain to the earlier cycles of intraperitoneal chemotherapy when adhesion was minimal from extensive cytoreductive procedures. Hyperthermia has an anti-cancer activity itself. Especially, hyperthermia promotes chemotherapy to penetrate deeper into the cancer tissue. Therefore, the combination of intraperitoneal chemotherapy with hyperthermia theoretically could lead to higher response rate and better survival outcomes. *HIPEC: hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy There will be an interim analysis when 50% of patients are enrolled. At the interim analysis, a statistical test will be performed. The nominal significance levels will be determined later. The exact nominal significance level will be determined based on the exact number of events at the time of the interim analysis. The Stopping boundaries will be calculated using an O'Brien-Fleming error spending function

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cells to repair themselves from damage and survive. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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. Bevacizumab, a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody, blocks tumor growth by targeting certain cells and preventing the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Giving veliparib together with carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of DTA-H19 administered intraperitoneally (IP) in subjects with advanced stage ovarian cancer, or primary peritoneal carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Genexol®-PM plus Carboplatin and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Genexol®-PM plus Carboplatin regimen in subjects with advanced ovarian cancer.

ON 01910.Na has undergone preclinical and clinical phase I studies showing activity in patients with progressing ovarian cancer resistant to platinum-based chemotherapies. This study will look at a larger population of patients to determine whether treatment with ON 01910.Na has an effect on progression free survival rates in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. ON 01910.Na will be given as an intravenous infusion over 2 hours on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of a 28-day cycle. Patients will be treated for 6 or more cycles.

This study is a 2 part, 2 cohort, open-label, dose escalation/de escalation study of AMG 386 in combination with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan in subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer. Up to 100 subjects will be enrolled to receive AMG 386 in combination with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin every 4 weeks (cohort A) or topotecan weekly on days 1, 8, and 15 of a 28 day dosing schedule (cohort B). Subject enrollment and assignment to either cohort will be based on eligibility and the investigator's discretion. It is hypothesized that AMG 386, in combination with each of the chemotherapy regimens: either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or topotecan will be safe and well tolerated in subjects with recurrent ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a peripheral stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, and certain chemotherapy drugs, helps stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. More chemotherapy is then given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of topotecan when given together with cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, melphalan, and cisplatin, followed by an autologous peripheral stem cell transplant in treating patients with stage III, stage IV, or recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cyclophosphamide together with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving cyclophosphamide together with celecoxib works compared to cyclophosphamide alone in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This is a phase II trial to investigate the effect of bevacizumab and carboplatin in patients with platin resistant ovarian cancer.
