Ovarian Cancer

Clinical Trials

Below is a list of Ovarian Cancer clinical trials from the clinical trials database at Mayo Clinic.

Mayo's clinical trials include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, which frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Patients should ask their doctor at Mayo about clinical trials appropriate for their situation.

ABT-888 and Topotecan Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors or Relapsed or Refractory Ovarian Epithelial Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
OBJECTIVES: - To determine the maximum-tolerated dose of ABT-888 and topotecan hydrochloride in patients with advanced solid tumors. (Phase I) - To identify any anti-tumor activity of this treatment combination, as assessed by objective response in patients with advanced solid tumors.

ABT-888 With Cyclophosphamide in Refractory BRCA-Positive Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Ovarian High-Grade Serous Carcinoma, Fallopian Tube Cancer, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, and Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Background: - The poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family of enzymes is critical for maintaining genomic stability by regulating a variety of DNA repair mechanisms. - Individuals with deleterious mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes have an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers due to impaired or defective DNA damage repair; these individuals have an increased susceptibility to DNA-damaging agents and PARP

Bevacizumab and Intravenous or Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage II, Stage III, or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
OBJECTIVES: Primary - To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) rate in patients with stage II, III, or IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma treated with bevacizumab in combination with IV vs intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy as first-line therapy.

Incidence of Cancer in Women at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer
OBJECTIVES: - To determine the prospective incidence of ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, breast cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, and all cancer among women at increased risk of ovarian cancer, with a special emphasis on women who are known BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Intra-op Detection of Occult Ovarian Carcinoma Using a Folate-Alpha Receptor Specific Fluorescent Ligand
Prognosis for many carcinomas, including ovarian carcinoma, is dependent on a complete surgical resection, also known as a R0 resection. At present, the ability to perform a complete resection with negative margins is limited by the surgeon's ability to palpate and visualize the tumor and its margins.

Paclitaxel and Carboplatin or Ifosfamide in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Persistent or Recurrent Uterine or Ovarian Cancer
OBJECTIVES: Primary - To determine if treatment with paclitaxel and carboplatin does not result in an inferior death rate when compared to paclitaxel and ifosfamide in chemotherapy-naïve patients with newly diagnosed stage I-IV persistent or recurrent uterine or ovarian carcinosarcoma.

Recombinant Measles Virus Vaccine Therapy and Oncolytic Virus Therapy in Treating Patients With Progressive, Recurrent, or Refractory Ovarian Epithelial Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
OBJECTIVES: - Determine the safety and toxicity of recombinant carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-expressing measles virus (MV-CEA) and oncolytic measles virus encoding thyroidal sodium iodide symporter (MV-NIS) in patients with progressive, recurrent, or refractory ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cavity cancer ( MV-CEA closed as of 06/02/2008).

Study of Adding AMG 479 to First Line Chemotherapy in Patients With Optimally Debulked Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
This study will determine the value of adding AMG 479 (fully human monoclonal antibody against IGF-1R) to paclitaxel and carboplatin first line chemotherapy in patients with optimally debulked (<1 cm) FIGO stage III and IV (positive pleural cytology only) ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) carcinoma.

Temsirolimus and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Recurrent, Metastatic, or Progressive Endometrial Cancer, Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Liver Cancer, Islet Cell Cancer, or Carcinoid Tumor
OBJECTIVES: Primary - To determine the response rate and progression-free survival at 6 months in patients with locally advanced, recurrent, metastatic, or progressive endometrial cancer, ovarian epithelial cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, islet cell cancer, or carcinoid tumor treated with temsirolimus and bevacizumab.
