Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

This is a monocenter, interventional, non-randomized study among women patients with an ovarian or tubal cancer who will receive a surgery or adjuvant chemotherapy treatment, or a neo-adjuvant chemotherapy then surgery +/- adjuvant chemotherapy. The planned interventions are collection of biological samples at different times. The study will aim to describe the immunological profile at diagnosis in terms of phenotypic : PBMCs (peripheral blood, mononuclear cells) in peripheral blood, TILs (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) in ascites and in carcinomatosis.

The purpose of this research study is to learn how cancer care providers can help their patients communicate the need for genetic testing in families with inherited cancer syndromes.

This trial is a translational, open-label, multicentric, prospective cohort study of 900 patients aiming to describe the PD-1 (programmed death) expression in T cells (T lymphocytes) in different solid tumors. The study will be conducted on a population of patients with local and/or metastatic malignant solid tumor and who are followed within a standard of care procedure or clinical trial. Patients with any of the following tumor types may be enrolled in the trial: Head and neck cancer, Ovarian cancer, Cervical cancer, Pre-invasive CIN III cervical cancer (Cervical Intra-epithelial Neoplasia III cervical cancer), Other solid tumor types (including glioblastoma, NSCLC (Non-small cell lung cancer), anal cancer) Each tumor type will be considered as an independent cohort. For each included patient, biological specimen (tumor sample, blood samples and ascites samples if applicable) will be collected. Study participation of each patient will be 5 years.

The survival of ovarian cancer patients is dependent on the stage at diagnosis; more than 70% of patients present with advanced stage disease (stage III/IV). In England, one-year survival is 98.7% at stage I and 51.4% at stage IV and five-year survival is 93.3% and 13.4% respectively. Standard treatment for advanced ovarian cancer involves surgery to remove all visible tumour and chemotherapy. Removal of all visible disease, so no tumour deposits are visible to the naked eye at the end of first-line surgery, is one of the strongest predictors of overall survival. A majority of the women presenting with advanced disease are older and frail. Extensive open surgery discriminates against such women as they may not be well enough for the surgery offered. A recent national audit in England found that 60.1% of women over the age of 79yrs diagnosed with ovarian cancer received no cancer treatment at all. The ability to provide the same surgery via a minimally invasive route such as robotic surgery potentially widens access to cancer treatment. The MIRRORS Feasibility study (NCT04402333) completed recently at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford showed significantly enhanced recovery with short length of stay and reduced blood loss enabling faster recommencement of chemotherapy in women with advanced disease undergoing robotic surgery compared to open surgery (requiring a cut in the abdomen). In the current proposed study funded by Intuitive Foundation and GRACE Charity, the investigators will establish the feasibility of conducting a randomised controlled trial and collect data from three hospital sites to inform a future phase 3 randomised controlled trial. The aim will be to to improve patient experience, access to surgery, recovery, reduce morbidity and reduce time to chemotherapy by incorporating robotic cytoreductive surgery into the ovarian cancer treatment pathway for women with a pelvic mass </=8cm

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the side effects and effectiveness of this novel four-drug combination of chemotherapy (decitabine, selinexor, carboplatin and paclitaxel) on patients with relapsed ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Recently the investigators have found that the combination of decitabine and selinexor, two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved chemotherapy agents, may prevent or reverse the development of drug resistance and further the remissions and duration of remissions with standard ovarian cancer chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. As decitabine and selinexor are not FDA approved for the participant's cancer, these agents are investigational.

This study is a Phase II single-arm, open label, multicenter study to access the effects and tolerability of fluzoparib combined with apatinib for maintenance treatment in platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian carcinoma .

The purpose of this study is to identify the demographic and sociological characteristics of epithelial ovarian cancer in a cohort, identify the risk factors of epithelial ovarian cancer, effectively identify the high-risk population of epithelial ovarian cancer in the population, implement standardized health management, and clarify the effect of standardized health management on the incidence and prognosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. It can also provide a case control population for the clinical cohort of epithelial ovarian cancer to benefit the majority of postoperative patients.

Single center, phase I/II randomized 2-arm study, evaluating two different vaccination regimens combined with low-dose cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC): Arm A patients will be vaccinated with a personalized peptide vaccine comprised of autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) loaded with patient-specific peptides (PEP-DC1 vaccine) identified a priori at screening (8 patients); Arm B patients will be vaccinated with a personalized tumor lysate vaccine comprising autologous moDC loaded with patient-specific autologous oxidized tumor lysate (OC-DC vaccine), followed by PEP-DC2 vaccine comprised of autologous moDC loaded with up to 10 patient-specific peptides identified midway through OC-DC vaccination (8 patients). In both arms, patients will receive a low dose cyclophosphamide the day before vaccination. Patients will be vaccinated after the end of adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, until vaccine exhaustion, disease recurrence, major toxicity or patient withdrawal, whichever is earlier.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a highly angiogenic tumor and drug targeting of angiogenesis is effective in some selected groups of EOC patients. However, no biomarkers are available to predict the effectiveness of this expensive therapy.Investigators believe that Multimerin-2, an extracellular matrix molecule, could serve as a biomarker that can address this clinical need. Multimerin-2 is deposited throughout the vasculature and its expression in EOC-associated vessels is frequently lost, in part due to increased degradation. Multimerin-2 sequesters VEGFA and other angiogenic factors and their release upon degradation of Multimerin-2 could underlie resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy. Indeed, fragments of degradation of Multimerin-2 are found in high concentrations in sera of EOC patients. Furthermore, the loss of Multimerin-2 impairs the function of the vessels, and this could negatively affect the delivery of the drug and the efficacy of the treatment. With the aim of predicting the efficiency of anti-angiogenic therapy, researchers will evaluate the angiogenic properties and expression of Multimerin-2 in EOC tumors, and develop a new Multimerin-2-based biomarker detectable by liquid biopsy, in order to manage EOC patients in a targeted manner based on the biological characteristics of their tumor.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the added diagnostic and prognostic value of advanced medical imaging procedures in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does advanced medical imaging predict survival? Can advanced medical imaging improve radiotherapy target planning? Are advanced medical imaging results associated with risk markers found in tumor tissue? Participants will Undergo four additional imaging procedures, as compared to clinical routine examinations, two at baseline and two after three months. Be subject to clinical follow-up for five years.
