Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

To evaluate whether AMG 386 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is safe and well tolerated in the first-line treatment of high-risk stage I and stages II-IV epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers. The hypothesis is that AMG 386 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel is safe and well tolerated.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the Src inhibitor saracatinib (AZD0530) to weekly paclitaxel improves efficacy, compared with paclitaxel plus placebo, in patients with relapsed platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The trial will also determine toxicity and ascertain whether the combination of paclitaxel plus saracatinib should proceed to a phase III trial.

The purpose of this study is to: Test the safety of a new investigational drug called MK-8669 (ridaforolimus) Determine the maximum tolerated dose of MK-8669 Determine the effectiveness of the maximum tolerated dose of MK-8669

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early and continuous addition of bevacizumab for up to 30 months to the standard chemotherapy is more effective than the early and continuous addition of bevacizumab for up to 15 months.

This is a multi-center, single-dose, open-label, randomized, balanced, two-treatment, two-cycle, two-sequence crossover study to assess bioequivalence of test (T) and reference (R) formulations of doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection in female patients with ovarian cancer. Each patient will be randomized to one of two treatment sequences (RT or TR) according to a randomization scheme prepared prior to the start of the trial.There will be at least 4-week apart between each single-dose administration. Serial blood samples for determination of free doxorubicin and liposomal encapsulated doxorubicin plasma concentrations for PK analysis will be obtained in each cycle. The 90% confidence intervals on the GMR(geometric mean ratio) of test to reference products of free and liposome encapsulated doxorubicin for PK must be within 80-125% to demonstrate bioequivalence.

This is a first-in-man, phase I clinical research study with BKM120, a potent and highly specific oral pan-class I phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. The study consists of a dose escalation part followed by a MTD expansion part. Once the MTD has been defined, the MTD expansion part will be opened for enrollment.

A Phase I/II study of an in-situ therapeutic cancer vaccine. Vaccines contain a source of antigen and and adjuvant. In this study the source of tumor antigen comes from the killing of a selected tumor by cryoablation (killing using extreme cold) and the adjuvant is intentionally mis-matched immune cells (AlloStim-TM) engineered to produce inflammatory cytokines.

Study in two stages, and with a sub-study.

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

RATIONALE: Paclitaxel is one of the most widely used human anticancer agents. Paclitaxel has a low degree of solubility and Cremophor EL is typically used as the solubiliser. Cremophor EL is known to cause hypersensitivity reactions that can be life-threatening. As Paclical® does not contain Cremophor EL, hypersensitivity reactions can be expected to be less. PURPOSE: To study the efficay and safety of two different formulations of paclitaxel, Paclical® and Taxol®.
