Active clinical trials for "Ovarian Neoplasms"

Long-Term Follow-Up Study for Subjects Enrolled in the Phase I/II Study of Autologous T Cells Engineered using the Sleeping Beauty System to Express T cell Receptors (TCRs) Reactive Against Cancer-specific Mutations in Subjects with Solid Tumors

SOPRANO is a multi-centre, randomised phase II trial which aims to assess the impact of Stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) and continuing treatment with a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) for patients with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal carcinoma. SOPRANO will also establish the feasibility and acceptability of delivering SBRT in this setting.

This phase II MATCH trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

This study will maximize identification of women with Lynch Syndrome using an enhanced screening strategy to identify those at risk. These women will be referred to genetic counselling for testing and those found to have Lynch Syndrome will be asked to invite first degree relatives to participate and undergo genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome. Screening guidelines and risk reducing surgery options for participants found to have Lynch Syndrome will be reinforced by the study and adherence to these guidelines will be assessed annually for ten years following Lynch Syndrome diagnosis to assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of this enhanced screening approach.

This phase I/IIa trial studies the side effects and best dose of a type of specialized immune cell (natural killer cell-like cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) (nCTLs) and how well they work when given with a vaccine (alpha-type-1 polarized dendritic cells) in treating patients with stage II-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. nCTLs are immune cells that are isolated from each patient?s blood and "taught" in the laboratory how to recognize and eliminate tumor cells. These "educated" immune cells are then given back to the patient. An alpha-type-1 polarized dendritic cell vaccine is another population of "educated" immune cells that work to support the infused nCTLs. Giving nCTLS with a dendritic cell vaccine may work better in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This research study is studying a combination of two drug interventions called rosuvastatin and enoxaparin as a possible preventative measure against developing venous blood clots (such deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). . The drugs involved in this study are: Rosuvastatin, also known as Crestor Enoxaparin

This trial is a non-randomized, open label and multicenter study. It aims to : for endometrial cancer.:validate the 5-miR index assessed in plasma samples as a diagnostic marker to assess the risk of lymph node metastases for ovarian cancer : to validate the previous finding on the prognostic value of the pre-/post-treatment variation of miR200b plasma concentrations with regards to PFS (the investigators mean the primary treatment including up-front or post-chemotherapy debulking and adjuvant chemotherapy).

Objective: To collect information on how often a solid tumor cancer might lose the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) by next generation sequencing and perform apheresis to collect and store an eligible participant's own T cells for future use to make CAR T-Cell therapy for their disease treatment. Design: This is a non-interventional, observational study to evaluate participants with solid tumors with a high risk of relapse for incurable disease. No interventional therapy will be administered on this study. Some of the information regarding the participant's tumor analysis may be beneficial to management of their disease. Participants that meet all criteria may be enrolled and leukapheresed (blood cells collected). The participant's cells will be processed and stored for potential manufacture of CAR T-cell therapy upon relapse of their cancer.

The objective of the study is to investigate the metabolism of cells in the ascites tumour microenvironment of ovarian cancer patients. This observational study involves intravenous infusion of [U-13C]glucose into patients during standard paracentesis.

An accurate preoperative diagnosis of an ovarian tumor is important for the patients' surgical work-up, proper referral to oncological centers and for the patients' mental wellbeing since uncertainty about the nature (benign vs malignant) of an ovarian tumor may cause anxiety. Currently, the Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI), with a cut-off value of 200, is often used in the Netherlands to select patients with an increased risk of ovarian cancer that should be referred to an oncologic center. However sensitivity and specificity of the RMI-score are far from optimal. Around 40% of the referred patients have benign disease in final pathological examination. Therefore, other models have been developed, such as the IOTA (International Ovarian Tumor Analysis) consortium algorithms, but these models require training, expertise and are subjective. To determine the nature of an ovarian tumor, histological examination is the golden standard. However, a pre-operative biopsy of an ovarian tumor is undesirable because of the risk of spill of tumor cells in the abdominal cavity. Therefore, there is an urgent need for non-invasive diagnostic tools to determine the nature of an ovarian tumor pre-operatively. Liquid biopsies could be such a non-invasive tool. Currently, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) circulating tumor cells (CTC), microRNA (miRNA) and tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) are available and can function as a potential blood-based biosource for (early) cancer diagnostics. Previous studies show promising results of liquid biopsies are used in (early) detection of cancer, also for ovarian cancer. Therefore, a diagnostic algorithm will be developed using ct-DNA and TEPs as liquid biomarkers in combination with the existing ultrasound models (RMI and IOTA-models) and tumor markers (CA125 and HE4) to differentiate between early ovarian cancer and benign ovarian tumors pre-operatively. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness. There is no extra burden/risk for the patients in this study. Five extra vials of blood will be collected from each participant and two questionnaires will be filled out.
