Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

This study is to determine the feasibility of administering neoadjuvant carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab without excessive dose modification or cycle delay in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. This study will also investigate the rate of optimal cytoreduction, response rate and progression free and overall survival, and to assess the quality of life for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer treated with neoadjuvant carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab.

This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well A6 works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. A6 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

This single arm study evaluated the efficacy and safety of first-line chemotherapy with carboplatin and dose-dense weekly paclitaxel plus bevacizumab (Avastin) in participants with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Participants received 6-8 3-week cycles of treatment with bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg intravenously (iv) on Day 1 of each cycle, paclitaxel 80 mg/m^2 iv on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, and carboplatin iv to an area under the curve (AUC) of 6 on day 1 of each cycle. Following combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab could be continued to be given as a monotherapy.

RATIONALE: PD 0332991 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well PD 0332991 works in treating patients with refractory solid tumors.

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with gemcitabine may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib and gemcitabine in treating older patients with advanced solid tumors.

The purpose of this study is to identify a dose of SB-485232 which is safe, tolerable and biologically active when used in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. This study will use a standard treatment regimen of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) in combination with rising doses of SB-485232. The dose selected from this study will be used in a future studies to evaluate the efficacy of this combination.

This is a Phase II, open label, non randomized correlative study of AZD2281 in patients with recurrent breast and ovarian cancer in both BRCA inherited mutation carriers and non-carriers to identify objective response rate and to assess for early markers of activity and to assess correlative markers that may provide helpful information for subsequent clinical trials. Approximately 110 patients from 7 centers in Canada will be enrolled into this study

To assess the efficacy of systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer and intra-abdominal complete debulking. Secondary: progression-free survival, complications and quality of life; Exploratory: Role of number of resected lymph nodes for primary and secondary objectives

This research study is for individuals who have advanced breast, colon, pancreatic, ovarian or bladder cancer. Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. is testing a form of immune therapy (vaccine) to see if it can be used to make the immune system attack the cancer. The study includes administration of additional treatments, in combination, thought to enhance the immune response effect. This study specifically administers the vaccine systemically to explore whether dendritic cell targeted vaccines can generate more robust effects via intravenous injection. (CDX 1307-02)

Primary Objectives: Determine response rate, time to progression, and toxicity of a schedule of carboplatin by IV (intravenous) infusion, GM-CSF and rIFN-g by SC (subcutaneous injection) in patients with potentially platinum-sensitive recurrent Müllerian carcinomas. Determine whether this treatment schedule is associated with: increased levels of monocytes (>2-fold and absolute numbers 1000 cells/ml,) and of LN-DR+ DC (CD11c+ and CD123+ subsets) induction of priming and activation of MO/MA (monocytes/ macrophages), and maturation of DC (dendritic cells). Determine the toxicity profile of consolidation treatment with IP (intraperitoneal) injections of rIFN-g added to carboplatin (IV) and GM-CSF (SC) for 4 doses/course. Determine the effects of carboplatin plus GM-CSF and rIFN-g on quality of life in patients with platinum-sensitive Müllerian carcinomas. To begin an exploration of cell surface proteins on purified activated peripheral blood and ascites monocyte/macrophages both before and after treatment with GM-CSFand rIFN-g.
