NCT00003636
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining surgery with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy before surgery is more effective than chemotherapy after surgery in treating ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying chemotherapy given before surgery to see how well it works compared to chemotherapy given after surgery with or without additional surgery in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
NCT00421889
The study seeks to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of belinostat (PXD101) administered in combination with carboplatin or paclitaxel or both in patients with solid tumours followed by maximum tolerated dose (MTD) expansion (phase II) in ovarian and bladder cancer patients The clinical trial is now in the MTD (phase II) portion of the study enrolling bladder cancer patients. Enrollment of ovarian patients is complete.
NCT01744821
The purpose of this research is to study Vitamin D3 replacement for patients at high risk of developing ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer, and see if the Vitamin D3 replacement may be able to prevent the cancer. This study is being done because in the United States ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death among women with gynecologic cancer. Women with BRCA mutations, a personal history of breast cancer, and a family history of breast and ovarian cancer are at high risk of developing ovarian, fallopian, and primary peritoneal cancer. Novel treatments other than surgery which can decrease the risk of developing ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer are important. Vitamin D has been shown to reduce the risk of developing bladder, breast, colon, endometrial, esophageal, gallbladder, gastric, lung, pancreatic, prostate, rectal, renal, vulvar and Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it may play a role in the prevention of ovarian cancer.
NCT00072267
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. UCN-01 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Combining UCN-01 with topotecan may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining UCN-01 with topotecan in treating patients who have recurrent, persistent, or progressive advanced ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
NCT01880996
Oncologic patients often report increased fatigue during and after chemotherapy. Evidence suggests Tai-chi/Qi-gong may improve quality of life (QOL) in oncologic patients treated with chemotherapy. Previous studies, mostly performed in a population of breast cancer patients, have demonstrated the benefits of Tai-chi/Qi-gong practice in improving quality of life (1), reducing bone resorption (2), preventing the decrease of blood counts (WBC and Hb) (3), and reducing inflammation (4). The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of Tai-chi/Qi-gong on QOL, sleep, and fatigue in patients with gynecological malignancies, particularly in patients with ovarian cancer.
NCT01690598
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of combined topotecan and veliparib (ABT888) treatment in relapsed ovarian cancer with tumor progression and negative or unknown BRCA mutation status.
NCT01709175
The purpose of this study is to compare once-a-week vs. twice-a-week strength training in survivors of breast and gynecologic cancer to determine which is the optimal exercise prescription.
NCT02458001
Women affected by gynaecologic cancers are often not aware of sexual consequences of cancer and its treatment. Most do not receive appropriate advice or help to recover sexual function, and the impact on their sexuality may be profound. Despite this several potential therapies can be effective in helping recovery. A major challenge is informing and involving the patients in an appropriate and sensitive manner, and a further issue is the delivery of such therapies in busy and medically driven gynaecologic oncology clinics. It will use and adapt existing evidence based therapies for improving sexual function after cancer treatment and develop a model for delivering these in the NHS (United Kingdom National Health Service) setting. The model of 'stepped care' is adapted from that used nationally and successfully in the Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme. Assessment allows for 'stepping up and down', i.e. calibrating the type of help a woman receives according to need and her response to treatment already given.This study will develop and evaluate a 'stepped' system of interventions using elements of best available evidence, adapting existing interventions to help women recover their sexual feelings and activity, starting with simple methods, moving on to new talking treatments for more complex cases. The investigators address all gynaecologic cancers on the principle that sexual difficulty is the problem the investigators are treating, not the cancer of origin. Ongoing clinical assessment will be vital for the success of the stepped care model. The investigators will deliver training and supervision to enhance the skills needed by the Clinical Nursing Specialist (CNS). An important part of this study will be characterising the range of women and their willingness to participate in psychosexual help. One-to-one follow up interviews will inform the level of input required for any subsequent Randomised Control Trial (RCT). The investigators will use internationally recognised rating scales for rating sexual function, assess how illness and treatment affect mood and self esteem. The investigators will also measure the overall cost-effectiveness to the public sector of providing this treatment, compared to costs of subsequent use of health and social services. This pilot study will assess the feasibility of conducting a full scale investigation of a stepped therapy and indicate the potential benefits to the patients, their partners, and to the NHS generally.
NCT02188550
The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of Everolimus and Letrozole is effective in the treatment of women with either recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal or endometrial cancer. Experiments have shown that everolimus (Afinitor®) can prevent cells such as cancer from growing in number. Therefore, everolimus (Afinitor®) is being tested in specific diseases to stop cells from growing too fast (as in cancer). Everolimus (Afinitor®) has been FDA approved for adults with advanced kidney cancer (Renal Cell Carcinoma). Everolimus (Afinitor®) received approval for patients with subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), a brain tumor seen with genetic conditions called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who require therapy, but are not candidates for surgery. Everolimus (Afinitor®) was approved for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic disease. Everolimus (Afinitor®) received approval for the treatment of postmenopausal women with advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2- negative breast cancer (advanced HR+ BC) in combination with exemestane, after failure of treatment with letrozole or anastrozole. Everolimus (Afinitor®) also received approval for the treatment of patients with TSC who have renal angiomyolipoma not requiring immediate surgery. Everolimus (Afinitor®) has been used to treat patients in clinical studies since 2002 and approximately 25,645 patients (as of 30-Sep-2012) have been treated with everolimus (Afinitor®).
NCT01196741
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the Src inhibitor saracatinib (AZD0530) to weekly paclitaxel improves efficacy, compared with paclitaxel plus placebo, in patients with relapsed platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The trial will also determine toxicity and ascertain whether the combination of paclitaxel plus saracatinib should proceed to a phase III trial.
NCT00267696
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of the drug combination: gemcitabine, carboplatin and bevacizumab in patients that have been diagnosed with platinum sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
NCT00006981
RATIONALE: Immunotoxins can locate tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Immunotoxin therapy may be an effective treatment for advanced cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of immunotoxins in treating patients who have advanced cancer.
NCT00039585
RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have refractory or relapsed ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, or ovarian low malignant potential tumor.
NCT00019136
RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill ovarian cancer cells. Interleukin-2 combined with white blood cells that are gene-modified to recognize and kill ovarian cancer cells may be an effective treatment for recurrent or residual ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 plus gene-modified white blood cells in treating patients who have advanced ovarian epithelial cancer.
NCT00020150
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining temozolomide and O6-benzylguanine in treating children who have solid tumors that have not responded to previous therapy.
NCT00003880
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with gene therapy using SCH-58500 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to determine the effectiveness of paclitaxel plus carboplatin with or without SCH-58500 in treating patients who have newly diagnosed stage III ovarian or stage III primary peritoneal cancer with residual disease following surgery to remove the tumor.
NCT01242436
Ovarian cancer is a gynecological cancer with a high risk of mortality. This is because the diagnosis is often been made in an advanced cancer stage with metastases throughout the peritoneum. An international study led by Prof. Dr. Ignace Vergote (Gynaecological Oncology) showed for the first time that patients in such an advanced stage of ovarian cancer who received first three neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy regimens followed by interval debulking surgery, and in turn followed by at least 3 treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, had fewer complications than patients treated with primary debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy. Moreover, the final survival rate in both groups seemed to be similar. The most important prognostic marker appeared to be whether patients with primary or interval surgery no longer had a visible residual tumor after the treatment. Patients who had only small metastases in the peritoneum, seemed to be better treated with primary surgery (neoadjuvant Vergote I, et al Chemotherapy or Primary Surgery in Stage IIIC or IV Ovarian Crystallising, N Engl J Med 363 (1910): 943 - 953). Each patient with suspected advanced ovarian cancer should undergo a preoperative evaluation where they assess which of the two treatments is the best option. The aim of the study is to assess whole body diffusion weighted imaging (WB-DWI) as a non-invasive method, in patients with confirmed ovarian cancer in the presence of peritoneal metastases. This is to assess which of the two treatments (primary debulking surgery followed chemotherapy versus platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery, followed in turn by chemotherapy) is the best option for a particular type of patient.
NCT00346385
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as BB-10901, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of BB-10901 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
NCT01047891
It is assumed, that the patients of the standard arm show a median progression-free survival time of 4.4 months those of the experimental arm of at least 6.9 months. Assuming a recruitment period of 18 months and follow-up for at least 12 months a total sample size of 174 patients is required (two-sided, α=0.05, 80% power). To account for 5% drop-outs 184 patients will be randomized. A Data Monitoring and Safety Board (DMSB) will be established. This board will evaluate the safety profile of the drug combination after 6 patients and after 12 patients have received 1 cycle of treatment.
NCT01196559
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the objective response rate and safety in platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancer patients treated with vinorelbine and gemcitabine combination chemotherapy.
