Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

Evaluation of surgical excision of cardiophrenic lymph nodes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies how well intravital microscopy works in evaluating patients with primary peritoneal, fallopian tube, or stage IA-IV ovarian cancer. Intravital microscopic evaluation of tumor blood vessels, blood flow, immune cell interactions, and drug uptake may be eventually visualized and may lead to valuable prognostic information.

This research study evaluates the concordance of the result between two diagnostic tests: Sentinel node and Pelvic-para-aortic lymphadenectomy in patients with ovarian cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy by imaging and observation of anatomical and biological indicators (i.e. ascites or continuous measurement of tumor marker CA 125). Furthermore the optimal number of preoperative administered cycles of combination chemotherapy with carboplatin and docetaxel should be determined.

BOVARY-Pilot is a monocentric prospective transversal pilot study with a total duration of 6 months. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of detecting somatic tumor mutations in the blood of patients with ovarian cancer in order to determine whether a blood test can replace a tissue biopsy to prescribe a personalized treatment. The method will consist of a single blood sample during the patient's visit and prior to the establishment of any newly diagnosed cancer treatment. The concordance of somatic mutations (SNV) found in tissue and in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from blood will then be compared

This is a case-control study of molecular diagnostics. This study requires two steps: The first part of the study will be conducted on a population of 20 women without breast cancer and, or ovarian family (Healthy Volunteers controls) The second part of the study will be conducted on a population of 50 patients predisposed to familial breast and, or ovarian cancer compared to 20 controls . For analysis of leucocytes of the patients, a blood sample collected in a prior study (EXSAL study, ID-RCB 2009-A00833-54) will be used.

To compare postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and perioperative outcomes of gynecologic patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery after scheduled administration of intravenous Ramosetron during hospital stays. Randomized controlled arm : Placebo versus Ramosetron injection Administration schedule : immediate postoperative status, 12 hrs after surgery, 36hrs after surgery

The ESME OVR Data Platform is a multi-center real life database using a retrospective data collection process in 18 French Comprehensive Cancer Center (FCCC) over 20 sites). This database compiles data from Patient's Electronic medical records (EMR), inpatient Hospitalisation records and Pharmacy records.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a dendritic cell vaccine made with autologous tumor lysate or for patients who are HLA-A2 with peptides of MUC1 and WT1 therapy will produce remissions in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. This research is being done because we want to find new therapies for treatment of relapsed or refractory (resistant to ordinary treatment) ovarian cancer. The use of vaccine therapy is research. A new experimental approach for treating refractory or relapsed ovarian cancer involves using the patients own immune system to kill the cancer cells. These immune cells are called monocytes and are harvested from blood. The process of Leukapheresis collects the monocytes called Dendritic Cells. This is usually a 3 hour process done in the comfort of a hospital bed in the apheresis lab, similar to giving blood for donation. Approximately 300cc's are collected during this process, the equivalent of about 10 ounces of blood. Once these dendritic cells are collected - a special laboratory grows and processes them into a vaccine using a patient's own tumor cells or for those with a specific HLA type (HLA-A2) with tumor peptides. This preparation is then given back to the patient hopefully to stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells. This type of treatment is considered biological research.

To determine the impact of Neoadjuvant chemotherapy on surgical debulking rate, overall and disease-free survival and quality of life (QOL) in patients with advanced EOC.
