414 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
RATIONALE: Finding out which problems affect employment in survivors of gynecologic cancer may help in planning cancer treatment and improve the quality of life of future cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at ways to improve employment in patients who have survived cervical cancer, uterine cancer, or ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study is to promote positive lifestyle change among endometrial cancer survivors by using a group-based intervention. Endometrial cancer survivors are at an increased risk of other health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and other cancers. The study team at the University of Virginia wants to explore new ways to lower these risks. This study will be evaluating the Anticancer Lifestyle program, which takes a more holistic approach and uses web-based learning modules along with weekly group sessions to discuss each topic of the web-based learning modules.
This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of pazopanib in combination with lapatinib with that of lapatinib alone or pazopanib alone in subjects with metastatic cervical cancer
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a digital (web and mobile-phone-based) program to improve lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, dietary intake) among Hispanic female cancer survivors and adult daughters.
TIVDAK is used for the treatment of cervical cancer that has come back after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses medicines to stop the growth of cancer cells. This is done either by killing the cells or by stopping them from growing. The purpose of this study is to learn about possible side effects of TIVDAK, specially to any side effect that is related to the eye. A side effect is anything a medicine does to your body that is not part of how the medicine treats disease. * This study is seeking for participants who: Are willing to take all the required eye tests * Have not received TIVDAK before * Do not have any active eye issues. Participants will receive TIVDAK once every 3 weeks as an infusion that will be injected into the vein. Participants will visit an eye care provider at 3 stages: * before starting the treatment, * before each of the first 9 infusions * then monthly for 3 months after they stop taking TIVDAK. Treatment with TIVDAK will continue until it is not working anymore against the participant's cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of zanzalintinib when given in combination with paclitaxel in patients with recurrent high-grade uterine cancer. Other objectives include overall safety and tolerability as well as rates of response.
Clinical study participation has historically been heavily biased toward specific demographics. Several people will be invited to enroll in this trial so that it may collect a variety of data about uterine cancer clinical study experiences and identify barriers to participation as well as the causes of participants' failure or withdrawal. People with uterine cancer who are invited to take part in medical study will benefit from the analysis of the data.
Women with known or suspected recurrent or metastatic uterine cancer may be eligible for this study. Patients may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age, most participants will be receiving care at the clinical practices of the University of Pennsylvania. \[18F\]fluoroestradiol (FES) PET/CT imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor (ER) activity in areas of disease known by standard of care imaging (e.g. CT, MRI, Bone Scan, FDG PET/CT, ultrasound) or clinical exam. For patients starting a new line of therapy, imaging will occur prior to starting new therapy. For patients who completed an initial scan and are starting new therapy, some patients may also undergo a second FES PET/CT scan at the time of suspected progression of disease to compare for changes in FES uptake measures (prior to initiation of next line therapy). The selection of therapy will be made by a treating physician and will not be affected by participation in this imaging study. Results of the FES PET/CT scan may be shared with the treating physician or subject by request but will not be used to make clinical decisions about treatment.
This trial studies pelvic floor dysfunction and quality of life in uterine cancer survivors. Using questionnaires may help researchers learn more about the sexual function and quality of life in uterine cancer survivors.
This early phase I trial investigates the response to the anti-cancer drug, triapine, in uterine cancers by using markers from tissue samples at the time of removal of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes (hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Adding triapine to the usual approach of surgery followed by chemotherapy alone or in combination with radiation therapy may help to slow the growth of uterine cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of adavosertib when given together with external beam radiation therapy and cisplatin in treating patients with cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancer. Adavosertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. External beam radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving adavosertib, external beam radiation therapy, and cisplatin may work better in treating patients with cervical, vaginal, or uterine cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with ovarian or uterine cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of nivolumab and find out what affects, if any, nivolumab has on people and their risk of gynecologic cancer. The investigators also want to find out what effects, good or bad, nivolumab has on the patient and their cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride works together with doxycycline in treating patients with localized breast or uterine cancer. Metformin hydrochloride may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Doxycycline may stop the growth of bacteria by keeping them from making proteins and minimized the toxic side effects of anti-cancer therapy. It is not yet known whether giving metformin hydrochloride together with doxycycline may be a better way in treating patients with localized breast or uterine cancer.
This pilot, phase II trial studies the side effects and how well paclitaxel given into the vein and carboplatin given directly into the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneally) followed by radiation therapy work in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV serous uterine cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, stopping them from dividing, or stopping them from spreading. Giving the drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for uterine cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients with uterine cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
This research study is studying biomarkers in blood and tissue samples from patients with uterine cancer. Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes the occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with uterine cancer that has come back or has not responded to treatment. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Pazopanib hydrochloride may also stop the growth of uterine cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent uterine cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells of by stopping them from dividing.
This is a study to determine the optimal treatment for patients with advanced stage or recurrent endometrial cancer. Traditionally, patients have been treated with either hormonal therapies (megesterol) or chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin). This study investigates the effectiveness of the combination of hormonal therapy and chemotherapy. This study also will examine the side-effects associated with these drugs and the quality of life of patients on combination therapy.
Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent uterine cancer.
Expression of COX-II has been identified in many types of human cancers. Uterine cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer in the US and there has been an increase in uterine cancer deaths over the past decade mainly due to the difficulty in treating recurrences in the more aggressive histologic types. The study co-investigators have also identified COX-II expression in grade 2 and 3 endometrioid-type, clear cell, and papillary serous types of uterine cancers. Upregulation of COX-II may control the cell cycle by regulating the proliferative capacity of neoplastic endometrial cells. This is a Phase II pre-post intervention comparison study in eligible patients looking at the effects of a COX-II inhibitor on uterine cancer. The patients whose endometrial biopsy shows grade 2 or 3 endometrioid-type, clear cell, and papillary serous types of uterine cancers will be put on a selective COX-II inhibitor, Celebrex (Celecoxib) until the day of their surgery. We hypothesize that Celecoxib will downregulate the expression of COX-II in these tumor types as it does in other similar tumors. We also hypothesize that apoptosis, as measured with the TUNEL assay, will be increased in areas with less COX-II expression and should be inversely proportional to cellular p21 expression. We hypothesize COX-related gene expression will be altered thus suggesting an up- or down-regulation of these genes in the end-organ tissue. Documenting downregulation of COX-II enzyme and altered gene expression in endometrial carcinoma after treatment with Celecoxib may result in further prospective studies using selective COX-II inhibitors as effective, well-tolerated chemotherapeutic agents in these uterine cancers that are resistant to many current therapies.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent uterine cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent stage III or stage IV uterine cancer.
This phase II clinical trial studies the side effects and how well imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with uterine cancer that has failed to respond to initial chemotherapy or has re-grown after therapy. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Female patients with early onset (\<50 years old) pelvic malignancies such as uterine and rectal cancers are rising in incidence, which often requires pelvic radiation; many of these patients are premenopausal and at a high risk of premature ovarian failure from radiotherapy. Premature ovarian failure carries significant cardiac, musculoskeletal, sexual, and psychosocial morbidity. Ovarian transposition carries variable success rates, is not readily accessible to the general population, and can still be at risk of clinically significant radiotherapy doses. There is an unmet need for innovative techniques to protect ovarian function.
The goal of this study is to create a non-invasive diagnostic test to rule out gynecological cancer in females aged 45 and older with abnormal uterine or postmenopausal bleeding.
The purpose of this study is to utilize transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images of the intact and post-hysterectomy female pelvis in order to provide feasibility information for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-TRUS fusion based 3D needle navigation system for use in image guided brachytherapy. The fusion and needle guidance will be performed using Eigen Health's navigation system that currently provides targeted MR/Ultrasound fusion based prostate biopsies utilizing a proprietary 3D semi-robotic navigation system.
This trial studies how well tucatinib works for solid tumors that make either more HER2 or a different type of HER2 than usual (HER2 alterations) The solid tumors studied in this trial have either spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed completely with surgery (unresectable). All participants will get both tucatinib and trastuzumab. People with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer will also get a drug called fulvestrant. The trial will also look at what side effects happen. A side effect is anything a drug does besides treating cancer.
This research study is studying an investigational drug as a possible treatment for uterine cancer. The drug involved in this study is: -AZD1775
