61 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if it is possible to get high-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) images of AIS tissue and/or tissue from microinvasive carcinoma right before a biopsy of the cervix. Researchers also want to learn if HRME images can show the difference between cancerous tissue and normal cervical tissue.
This is a pilot study of DCE MR imaging to detect vascular changes in the vagina during and after radiotherapy n patients receiving adjuvant brachytherapyfor cervical or endometrial cancer.
This is a two arm, single center feasibility study of 20 patients with non-metastatic cervical cancer managed with surgery and/or chemoradiation therapy at UNC Hospitals. Subjects will undergo PET/MRI scans before, during (chemoradiation group only), and after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to learn if a surgical technique called intraoperative lymphatic mapping can accurately identify the lymph node that is at greatest risk if endometrial or cervical cancer spreads to the lymph nodes. Early cervical cancer is usually treated by removing the cervix, tissue around the cervix, and the upper vagina. If needed, the uterus is also removed. The treatment also includes removing lymph nodes from the pelvis. Endometrial cancer is usually treated by removing the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The treatment also includes removing lymph nodes from the pelvis.
To improve overall survival in patients with metastatic cervical cancer by loco-regional therapy with personalized ultra-fractionated radiation
This is a single-arm, prospective, multi-center clinical trial designed to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer will translate into a decreased rate of acute gastrointestinal toxicity compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The timepoint for this assessment will be at week 5 of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and will use the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE).
This is a Phase 2, single center, open-label, single-arm study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of AK104 monotherapy in adult subjects with previously treated recurrent or metastatic high grade neuroendocrine cervical cancer.
This study aims to provide a comprehensive report on clinicopathologic features, immunohistochemical/biomarker testing and molecular profile of cervical clear cell carcinoma. This study may help researchers learn more about the molecular profile of cervical clear cell carcinoma.
This study collects information and data on patients with neuroendocrine cervical cancer. Information from this study may be used to better understand the correlation between clinical data, such as patient characteristics, treatment, and disease outcomes, and overall patient outcomes.
The most effective strategy for managing distantly metastatic invasive carcinomas of the cervix is not defined. Based on the success of niraparib in breast and ovarian cancer trials and the concern for toxicities and comorbidities limiting the compliance of concurrent cisplatin for cervical cancer, this study is a phase I/II study of women diagnosed with distantly metastatic (Stage IV) disease to determine the maximum tolerated dose and to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of niraparib, an orally available small molecule PARP inhibitor when administered concurrently with definitive regional radiotherapy for treatment of cervical cancer. Women enrolled in this study will receive 3-6 cycles of induction-style carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by definitive doses of pelvic radiotherapy along with the oral niraparib given at the same time.
The study will integrate the efficacy of combining the anti programmed death-ligand 1 (anti-PD-L1) agent atezolizumab with the current standard of care in Stage IVB , persistent or recurrent carcinoma of the cervix, namely cisplatin or carboplatin/paclitaxel/bevacizumab. It will be explored the combination of bevacizumab plus atezolizumab, with no patient selection based on PD-L1 expression, allowing an all-comer assessment of atezolizumab activity. The study is a randomized open label phase III trial to investigate the impact of atezolizumab in combination with bevacizumab and cisplatin or carboplatin /paclitaxel chemotherapy on overall survival and will employ the intent to treat principle, and random assignment to one of the 2 arms will be balanced according to disease histology (squamous cell carcinoma vs adenocarcinoma), prior platinum therapy as a radiation sensitizer (no prior cis-Radiotherapy (RT) versus prior cis-RT) and chemotherapy backbone (cisplatin vs carboplatin). This trial will be run in an open label design due to the following considerations: the control arm is the standard of care for women diagnosed with metastatic, persistant or recurrent cervical cancer because of its impact on overall survival and the primary endpoint of the study is overall survival (OS), so blinding is not needed to ensure a robust assessment.
This is a phase II study of rucaparib, a small molecule inhibitor poly (adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\]-ribose) polymerase (PARP), being tested in combination with bevacizumab in patients with recurrent cervical or endometrial cancer. The objective of this study is to determine the proportion of these patients who survive progression-free for at least 6 months while receiving this drug combination.
Objectives: Primary: 1. To assess the feasibility of using social networking groups to survey patients with rare cancers. Secondary:1. To elucidate the current means for diagnosis and treatment of women with small and large cell carcinomas of the cervix. 2. To evaluate anxiety regarding diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence among women with small and large cell carcinomas of the cervix.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of laparoscopic ovarian transposition in women less than 40 years of age with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.
This is a Phase 1 first in human, open label, multi-center, dose escalation and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, anti-tumor activity and pharmacodynamic effects of SL-279252 in subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas.
Protocol PEN-866-001 is an open-label, multi-center, first-in-human Phase 1/2a study evaluating PEN-866 in patients with advanced solid malignancies whose disease has progressed after treatment with previous anticancer therapies.
Patients with advanced or recurrent adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the cervix will receive Pemetrexed.
The goal of this research study is to learn about quality of life, sexual functioning, and symptoms in women who have undergone abdominal radical trachelectomy for cervical cancer. This is an investigational study. Up to 100 patients will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
The anti-tumor activity of cetuximab prior to chemoradiotherapy and the safety and tolerability of cetuximab with concurrent chemoradiation will be determined in women with locally advanced or metastatic cervical carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to find out how effectively cervix cancer is controlled when radiation is combined with low-dose chemotherapy (Taxotere) . The use of low-dose Taxotere, once per week, with radiation is a new treatment for cervical cancer. This study will also see how well this treatment regimen can be tolerated.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining docetaxel with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel when given together with carboplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent stage IVB squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the cervix.
OBJECTIVE: The standard of care for high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 to 3 (CIN 2-3) has been the excision of the cervical transformation zone by way of a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or cold knife conization (CKC). However, it has been recognized that these procedures can increase the risks for pre-term labor in women who still desire to conceive. Recent studies have shown that medical treatment with Imiquimod, a topical immune response modulator, has significant effects on histological regression of CIN 2-3 when compared with placebo. The investigators propose that treatment with Imiquimod may be preferable offering similar outcomes on histological regression when compared with excision or ablation while potentially avoiding or reducing the number of surgical procedure that places them at risk for future pregnancies.
Although cervical cancer is a preventable cancer, every year more than one-quarter of a million women die worldwide from this disease. Internationally and nationally, cervical cancer is a disease that affects predominantly women who are poor and who live in resource poor settings. With the device the investigators are developing, known as the Multispectral Digital Colposcope with probe, our goal is to make detection of precancerous cervical lesions easier for the patient and for her provider. For the patient, our goal is to reduce the number of clinical visits needed to obtain a diagnosis and treatment and consequently to reduce the resulting fear and anxiety which usually accompanies an abnormal Pap smear. For the provider and the health care system, our goal is to obtain a more accurate diagnosis than the currently available diagnostic methods.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a surgical procedure called an extraperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy followed by chemotherapy and tailored radiation therapy can help to control the disease for a longer time than standard-of-care chemotherapy and whole pelvic radiation therapy.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Using the CerviPrep™ drug delivery device to apply topical gemcitabine to the cervix may be an effective way to kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well CerviPrep™ works in applying topical gemcitabine to the cervix in treating patients with primary endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, or ovarian epithelial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of certain variables such as the fullness of the patients bladder and the position of the treatment applicator on the dose of radiation that other organs such as the bladder and the rectum receive during radiation treatment for endometrial carcinoma.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with recurrent cancer of the cervix.
This randomized phase III trial is studying four combination chemotherapy regimens using cisplatin to compare how well they work in treating women with stage IVB, recurrent, or persistent cancer of the cervix. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin, paclitaxel, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, and topotecan, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen containing cisplatin is most effective in treating cervical cancer.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy, with or without surgery, is more effective in treating early cancer of the cervix. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery followed by different regimens of radiation therapy and chemotherapy with that of chemotherapy and radiation therapy alone in treating patients who have stage I cancer of the cervix.
