Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of activated T-cell therapy when given together with low-dose aldesleukin and sargramostim in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that is stage III-IV, has not responded to previous treatment, or has come back. Activated T cells that have been coated with bi-specific antibodies, such as anti-cluster of differentiation (CD)3 and anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Aldesleukin may stimulate white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the production of blood cells. Giving activated T-cell therapy with low-dose aldesleukin and sargramostim may be a better treatment for ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This project is part of a large multicenter multidisciplinary program that will thoroughly explore the needs and difficulties of patients with BCR as well as those involved in their care. The results of this research program will propose recommendations for better structure and understand the follow up of these patients. From the limited data in the literature, the long-term remission in patients with ovarian cancer reported a significant and persistent fatigue, poor QoL, disorders of sexuality as well as somatic and mental illness; consumption is also a medical records for these patients. In this context, our team has initiated a large case-control study to assess fatigue (identified major problem in the long-term remission in patients with ovarian cancer), QoL and rehabilitation of patients in remission from an epithelial ovarian cancer (regardless of the stage of cancer at diagnosis, early or advanced) 3 years after the initial treatment, compared with women of the same age without ovarian cancer or serious chronic disease , from the general population. Patients and controls complement standardized and validated self-administered questionnaire (part 1). This study investigated 215 patients in long remission from ovarian cancer compared to 215 women of the same age without cancer. Recruitment of patients is currently underway, in close collaboration with teams from the Group GINECO very involved in this project. Following this step, an additional component is planned: it is to offer patients who participated in part 1, a specific gynecological consultation to assess in detail the effects of the treatments in order to better meet the needs of patients .dropoff window

This is a single-center, randomized, single-blinded, three-arm phase Ib study of the folate binding protein vaccines E39 and J65. The study target population are patients with breast or ovarian cancer diagnosis who have been treated and are without evidence of disease. Disease-free subjects after standard of care multi-modality therapy will be screened and HLA typed. E39 and J65 are cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-eliciting peptide vaccines that are restricted to HLA-A2+ patients (approximately 50% of the U.S. population).

The present study aims at investigating the feasibility, the detection rate and the negative predictive value of sentinel node in predicting the presence or absence of lymph node metastasis in ovarian cancer patients

This is a phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of metronomic combination therapy in subjects with epithelial ovarian cancer who have progressed on or after SoC therapy.

The Novel Markers Trial will compare the safety, feasibility and effectiveness of two different epithelial ovarian cancer screening strategies that use CA125 and add HE4 as either a first or second line screen. This study is the next step in a larger research effort to develop a blood test that can be used as a screening method for the early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer.

The proposed study is a prospective cohort study incorporating patients with first recurrence ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer who will receive intraperitoneal chemotherapy in conjunction with whole abdomen radiation. The primary end point of this investigator initiated research study is to determine the toxicity associated with whole abdomen radiation in combination with intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Primary Objective: Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of whole abdomen radiation in conjunction with intraperitoneal cisplatin chemotherapy in the treatment of women with small volume (< 1 cm) recurrent ovarian cancer confined to the abdominal peritoneal cavity. Secondary Objective: Quality of Life assessment.

This study will assess the effect of IT-101 on delaying cancer progression in patients with platinum sensitive ovarian cancer.

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of fenretinide may prevent ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well fenretinide works in preventing ovarian cancer in participants who are at high risk of developing ovarian cancer and planning to undergo surgery to remove the ovaries.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures using the drug radiolabeled folic acid and imaging may be effective in detecting ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of radiolabeled folic acid plus imaging in detecting ovarian cancer.
