Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial"

Surgery for ovarian cancer involves a big cut on your tummy (abdomen) followed by removal of pelvic organs (womb, tubes and ovaries), abdominal organs (fat tissue {omentum}, appendix) and any other tissues involved with cancer. Several studies worldwide have reported that women survive longer and enjoy a longer disease free interval before their disease returns if all visible disease is removed at the time of their surgery. Achieving this is not easy and often there is widespread disease and the surgeons are unable to remove every tumour nodule present as it is attached to the surface of the bowel, diaphragm and other important Extensive surgery with prolonged operating is associated with higher risks. Plasma energy is commonly referred to as the 4th state of matter after solid, liquid and gas. When a gas is heated, it partially or wholly ionizes resulting in high energy particles like ions, electrons and atoms referred to as 'plasma'. PlasmaJet® (PJ) is a new device which uses fine jet of neutral argon plasma from the handpiece that has been shown to have the ability to vaporise nodules close to sensitive organs like the bowel. It may offer the potential to treat the tumour nodules close to sensitive areas like the bowel. There have been no studies exploring its role in vaporising tumour nodules and its impact on survival. The PJ may be used by the surgeon to seal bleeding tissues (coagulate) or to burn away thin layers of tissue (ablate) by vaporization. It is licensed for use to achieve effects of coagulation and ablation. It is similar to conventional surgical devices that are routinely used (called diathermy) to achieve these effects. The PJ however is slightly different in that it may also be used on tissue to vaporise tumour nodules in women with ovarian cancer during surgery though the full extent of this role remains unclear.

This is an ongoing Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in subjects with recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer who are scheduled to receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD).The primary objective of Phase 1 is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety profile, with a secondary objective to evaluate the clinical efficacy as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 6 months (PFS-6). The primary objective of Phase 2 is the evaluation of clinical efficacy as measured by PFS-6. For both phases, secondary objectives include evaluation of clinical efficacy as measured by overall response rate, PFS, and overall survival (OS), safety and tolerability, and immunological responses.

The purpose of this study is to to investigate the effect of tocotrienol as a nutritional supplement in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out if the combination of Paclitaxel once per week with Pembrolizumab once every 3 weeks will help participants with this disease. Researchers want to find out the effectiveness of the drug combination to improve the delay of cancer progression or death and compare it to historical data for weekly paclitaxel alone, and assess safety.

This is a phase 2 study of investigational drug, durvalumab given in combination with azacitidine (CC-486). The main purpose of this phase 2 study is to assess the antitumor activity of azacitidine in combination with durvalumab patients with microsatellite stable colorectal carcinoma (MSS-CRC), platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer type II (PR-OC), and estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative breast cancer.

Fluzoparib is an oral potent, selective poly-ADP ribose polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and PARP-2 inhibitor; Apatinib is an oral selective vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor. This open-label, dose finding phase I trial studies the tolerability and the best dose of fluzoparib in combination with apatinib and to see how well these two drugs work together in the treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer or triple negative breast cancer. The safety and efficacy of fluzoparib in combination with apatinib will be explored. Both dose escalation and dose expansion parts are included in this study.

Epithelial ovarian cancer harbours 20% Breast Cancer gene (BRCA)1/2 mutations independently of family history. Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have shown clinical activity among patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and specifically among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved the use of olaparib as maintenance therapy "as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum sensitive relapsed BRCA mutated (germline and/or somatic) high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete response or partial response) to platinum-based chemotherapy". Trabectedin and Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) have shown relevant activity in relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer. In the relapse with Treatment-free interval of last platinum (TFIp) between 6 and 12 months this efficacy translated into an increase in Overall survival (OS) and Progression free survival (PFS). There is an increase of hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) among platinum sensitive patients, that reaches 44% in third line and does not always allow for platinum use despite desensitization protocols. In relapse with TFIp between 6-12 months the use of Trabectedin+PLD is accepted in guidelines and consensus. Following clinical BRCAness criteria a group of patients that harbours up to 50% of BRCA1/2 mutations can be selected. Olaparib has been licensed according to EMA for maintenance in BRCA mutated patients after response to platinum following Study 19 phase II trial and further confirmed with phase III SOLO-2 data. However there is no evidence of the benefit of adding olaparib after Trabectedin+PLD response among BRCA1/2 carriers. The combination of Trabectedin+PLD, as well as both single drugs, have shown higher activity among BRCA1/2 carriers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of prexasertib in women with platinum-resistant or refractory recurrent ovarian cancer.

Bioequivalence study is proposed to be carried out on patients of ovarian cancer, who are already receiving or who in the opinion of their treating physicians are candidates for Doxorubicin liposomal injection therapy .

Primary Objective: - To demonstrate an improvement in Progression-Free Survival (PFS) for Ombrabulin versus placebo in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (OC) treated with paclitaxel and carboplatin. Secondary Objectives: To compare the overall survival (OS) between the 2 treatment arms To compare the objective response rate (RR) between the 2 treatment arms
