The purpose of this study is to identify the side effects and best dose of abemaciclib when given together with olaparib in treating patients with ovarian cancer that responds at first to treatment with drugs that contain the metal platinum but then comes back within a certain period (recurrent platinum-resistant). Abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Adding abemaciclib to olaparib may work better to treat recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

The aims of this study are to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency among B/AA prostate cancer patients and to determine the deficits in immunity associated with vitamin D insufficiency. Also, we will evaluate whether the peripheral blood immune cell function is different in B/AA prostate cancer patients with metastatic disease as compared with those with localized disease.

The purpose of this study is to establish at least 200 patient-derived cancer xenografts (PDXs), and to utilize these PDXs in preclinical testing of single agents and drug combinations to guide precision cancer medicine decision-making with a focus upon the predominant racial/ethnic minority populations residing in California.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the confirmed investigator-assessed objective response rate of XMT-1536 (upifitamab rilsodotin) in patients with higher sodium-dependent phosphate transport protein 2b (NaPi2b) expressing platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), including cancers of ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal origin)

Note: Mayo Clinic is only participating in the Phase 2 - Cohort 3 (UPLIFT) portion of the study. Mayo Clinic will not be participating in the QTC sub-study.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of GEN1046 in combination with anticancer therapy in subjects with advanced endometrial cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate to the combination of folate receptor alpha dendritic cells (FRaDCs) plus pembrolizumab in patients with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Vaccines made from a person's peptide treated white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vaccination with folate receptor alpha dendritic cells (FRalphaDCs) given to patients with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer can delay or prevent cancer recurrence, when compared with a placebo.  FRalphaDCs are a vaccine made from patients' white blood cells that have been cultured in the laboratory to induce immune responses to the cancer.

The primary purpose of Part 1 (dose escalation) of this study is to establish the MTD and/or RP2D of ELU001 in subjects who have advanced, recurrent or refractory FRα overexpressing tumors considered to be topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-sensitive.

The primary purpose of Part 2 (Tumor Group Expansion Cohorts) of this study is to evaluate anti-tumor activity of ELU001 in subjects who have moderate or high FRα overexpressing tumors considered to be topoisomerase 1 inhibitor-sensitive.

To assess the safety and tolerability at increasing dose levels of HPN536 in successive cohorts of patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) and select the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, as well as some activity parameters, of TG4050 in patients with ovarian, fallopian or peritoneal serous carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and side effects of a drug called SGN-B7H4V in participants with solid tumors.  A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. Participants will have cancer that has spread in the body near where it started (locally advanced) and cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body (metastatic). This study will have three parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN-B7H4V should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose found in Parts A and B to find out how safe SGN-B7H4V is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.

This is a multicenter, open-label, first-time-in-human study with a standard 3+3 dose-escalation phase in subjects with advanced solid tumors followed by an expansion phase in patients with advanced solid tumors. An exploration cohort has been added to determine the safety using Q4W dosing.

This pilot, phase II trial studies how well everolimus and letrozole work in treating patients with hormone receptor positive ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer that has come back. Everolimus and letrozole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial studies how well ribociclib and letrozole work in treating patients with estrogen receptor (ER) positive ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer that has returned (come back) after a period of improvement. Ribociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes needed for cell growth. Cancer cells that are estrogen receptor positive may need estrogen to grow. Letrozole lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body and this may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Giving ribociclib together with letrozole may be an effective treatment in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or endometrial cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine which patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer will best respond to treatment with rucaparib.

This study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled (2:1 niraparib:placebo) study in patients with Stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Patients must have completed front-line platinum based regimen with a physician-assessed response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Additionally, patients must have a normal or >90% decrease in cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) following front-line platinum treatment. The study will assess the efficacy of niraparib as maintenance treatment, as measured by PFS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of DS-8201a in combination with olaparib, and to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) 1.1.2 To evaluate the safety and tolerability of this combination in a dose expansion cohort in patients with uterine serous carcinoma.

This is a Phase Ib, open-label, randomized, multicenter, two-arm study designed to assess the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib administered in combination with niraparib, with or without atezolizumab, to patients with advanced platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.

The study will consist of two parts. The purpose of Phase Ib is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of TG4001 plus avelumab in patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. The purpose of Phase II part 1 is to evaluate the effectiveness of TG4001 combined to avelumab in terms of Overall Response Rate (ORR) by using RECIST 1.1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies including oropharyngeal SCCHN. The purpose of Phase II part 2 is to compare the Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of TG4001 in combination with avelumab vs avelumab alone in patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies and without liver metastases at baseline. PFS will be evaluated based on RECIST 1.1. 

In the phase Ib: safety will be assessed in consecutive cohorts of 3 to 6 patients at increasing doses of TG4001 in combination with avelumab according to a 3+3 design. There will be no intra-patient dose escalation. In the phase II part 1, evaluation of efficacy and further evaluation of safety of the combination of TG4001 and avelumab will be performed in a single arm of patients with recurrent or metastatic HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. In the phase II part 2, evaluation of effectiveness of the combination of TG4001 and avelumab will be performed in a randomized, open-label controlled study comparing TG4001 in combination with avelumab to avelumab alone in patients with HPV-16 positive advanced malignancies. In both phases, tumor response will be evaluated on local assessment using RECIST 1.1. All patients will be followed up until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity, or study withdrawal for any reason, whichever occurs first. 

Mayo Clinic will only be participating in the Phase II part 2 portion of the study.

The aim of this study is to measure the differences in quality of life and mood of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) patients and their caregivers staying at a hospital hospitality house (HHH), such as the Gift of Life Transplant House, the Help in Healing Home, and the Gabriel House of Care versus staying at a hotel/rental apartment or house. The goal is to investigate if staying in a HHH, with its different environment and support systems and programs, has a positive impact on the quality of life (QOL) and mood of patients undergoing a HCT and their caregivers.

This is a double-blind, randomized, Phase II trial. Patients with advanced ovarian cancer that has not progressed following completion of standard-of-care chemotherapy are eligible to participate. Patients will be randomized to either the vaccine regimen with GM-CSF adjuvant or GM-CSF adjuvant alone as a control group. Treatment will be administered as a consolidation therapy beginning within one year of the last administration of platinum.

The purpose of this study is to see how well radiation therapy and cisplatin with triapine work in combination compared to the standard radiation therapy and cisplatin alone to treat patients with newly diagnosed stage IB2, II, or IIIB-IVA cervical cancer or stage II-IVA vaginal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy protons 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. Triapine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy and cisplatin are more effective with triapine in treating cervical or vaginal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the reduction from baseline in circulating tumor DNA at Cycle 3 (ΔctDNA) is larger in participants receiving MK-4830 + pembrolizumab in combination with standard of care (SOC) therapy than in those receiving pembrolizumab + Standard of Care (SOC) therapy.

The purpose of this study is to provide continued access to niraparib and further characterize the long-term safety of niraparib treatment.

This phase II trial studies how well Avatar-directed chemotherapy works in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that does not respond to platinum anti-cancer drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, topotecan hydrochloride, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Using an Avatar, a living tumor sample with similar genetic characteristics to the original tumor, may help determine which chemotherapy is most effective. 

The purpose of this study is to measure DEL-1 levels and develop and validate methods for measurement of the exosomal T-RNAs( miR 1274b and mirR 720) as well as four miRs ( miR 21, let-7a, miR 125b and miR 100) in pre and post tumor resection plasma samples from women with newly diagnosed localized breast cancer. 

This phase III clinical trial studies two different dose schedules of paclitaxel to see how well they work in combination with carboplatin with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with stage II, III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube 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 or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Giving bevacizumab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel once every three weeks is more effective than giving paclitaxel once a week.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well oncolytic measles virus encoding thyroidal sodium iodide symporter (MV-NIS) compared to investigator's choice chemotherapy works in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian, or peritoneal cancer. Measles virus, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and bevacizumab in treating patients with stage IV melanoma, gynecological cancers, or other malignancies that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of mirvetuximab soravtansine vs. investigator's choice chemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, whose tumors express a high-level of FRα. Patients will be, in the opinion of the Investigator, appropriate for single-agent therapy for their next line of therapy. 

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of RP-6306 in combination gemcitabine, in patients with eligible advanced solid tumors, determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of RP-6306 in combination with gemcitabine, identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and preferred schedule, examine preliminary pharmacokinetics (PK) and assess anti-tumor activity.

Part A: (ADXS11-001 + MEDI4736 Combination Therapy) will determine the safety and tolerability of the combination and to identify a RP2D.

Part B: Phase 2 design which will randomize subjects 1:1 to either MEDI4736 alone or MEDI4736+ADXS11-001 in subjects who have failed at least 1 prior systemic treatment for their recurrent/persistent or metastatic cervical cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combined treatment with niraparib and pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in patients who have triple-negative breast cancer that is advanced or has spread, or ovarian cancer that has returned after previous treatment.

The purpose of t his study is to better understand what caregivers encounter during the care of their loved ones, what they identify as facilitators and barriers, and what impacts their capacity to provide such care – an informing component to the science of healthcare delivery. Also, to identify practical issues related to caregivers’ capacity, both objective and subjective, beyond the existence of healthcare and educational resources often available in clinical settings.
