Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of Raludotatug Deruxtecan R-DXd in adults with platinum-resistant, high-grade ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. This study includes a Phase 2 dose-optimization part to find the best dose based on safety and effectiveness, followed by a Phase 3 part comparing R-DXd to chemotherapy chosen by the investigator. The study targets tumors that overexpress CDH6, a protein that R-DXd specifically binds to. Participants are randomly assigned to receive intravenous R-DXd at various doses every three weeks or an investigators choice of chemotherapy drugs including paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan. The Phase 2 portion focuses on determining the optimal dose, while the Phase 3 portion compares the recommended dose with standard chemotherapy. Treatments are given through IV infusions according to the assigned group. During the study, participants undergo scheduled visits for drug administration, safety monitoring, and evaluations including imaging scans to assess tumor response. Researchers measure outcomes such as objective response rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, symptom changes, and pharmacokinetics over periods up to 40 months. Safety is closely monitored through adverse event tracking and laboratory tests, with participants followed until the studys completion in 2030.

This research aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of neoadjuvant carboplatin combined with mirvetuximab soravtansine in women with advanced-stage serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that expresses folate receptor alpha FR. Mirvetuximab soravtansine is an investigational antibody drug designed to selectively target and kill cancer cells carrying FR. The study enrolls about 140 adult female participants with stage III or IV disease across approximately 80 sites in the United States. Participants receive intravenous infusions of mirvetuximab soravtansine together with carboplatin on the first day of each 21-day cycle, for up to 6 to 9 cycles. Bevacizumab may also be given at the investigators discretion. This single-group study includes regular treatment cycles over a period lasting approximately three years. During the study, participants will have frequent visits to hospitals or clinics for medical assessments, blood tests, and scans to monitor their health and response to treatment. Researchers will measure outcomes including tumor response based on independent central review, adverse events, disease control, progression-free survival, and symptom changes. Safety and treatment effects will be tracked throughout the study duration of about three years.

Researchers are studying two surgical procedures to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 genetic mutations. This trial compares bilateral salpingectomy, which removes only the fallopian tubes, with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which removes both fallopian tubes and ovaries. The goal is to find out if removing just the fallopian tubes with delayed ovary removal is nearly as effective as removing both from the start. Participants choose between two groups one undergoes bilateral salpingectomy with the option of later ovary removal, and the other undergoes bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Both groups have imaging tests like pelvic ultrasounds or pelvic MRIs during screening and provide blood samples throughout the study. Follow-up visits occur at multiple time points, including 10 to 60 days, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, and then yearly for up to 20 years. During the study, researchers track if ovarian or related cancers develop and assess symptoms related to estrogen loss, quality of life, cancer-related distress, sexual function, menopausal symptoms, medical decision making, and any adverse events. Various questionnaires and imaging tests support these evaluations. Long-term safety and cancer risk reduction are monitored for up to two decades after surgery.

Researchers are conducting a randomized controlled trial to compare survival outcomes between robotic-assisted laparoscopy and open hysterectomy with lymph node assessment for early-stage cervical cancer. The study aims to determine if robotic hysterectomy with tumor containment before colpotomy is not worse than abdominal hysterectomy in terms of disease-free survival. It includes patients with specific cervical cancer stages and tumor sizes suitable for surgery. Participants will undergo either a radical or simple hysterectomy using either traditional open surgery or a robotic-assisted technique. In the robotic group, the vagina is closed before colpotomy, and certain vaginal manipulators are not allowed. Both groups may have salpingectomy and oophorectomy with or without ovarian transposition. Surgeons will document operative details, including any complications, blood loss, and reasons for conversion to open surgery. During the trial, participants will be closely monitored with preoperative assessments like labs, EKG, and MRI to confirm eligibility. Surgical findings and complications will be recorded. The primary outcome measured is survival at 36 months. Participants must provide informed consent and undergo follow-up to assess disease status and survival over the study period, which extends until 2030.

Researchers are evaluating the addition of nivolumab to the usual treatment of paclitaxel and ramucirumab compared to paclitaxel and ramucirumab alone in patients with advanced stomach or esophageal adenocarcinoma. This phase IIIII trial aims to see if nivolumab improves progression-free survival and overall survival in these patients. Nivolumab is an immunotherapy monoclonal antibody that may help the immune system attack cancer, while ramucirumab may prevent tumor blood vessel growth, and paclitaxel stops cancer cells from dividing. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group receives nivolumab intravenously on day 1 of each 28-day cycle, combined with ramucirumab on days 1 and 15, and paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15. The other group receives only ramucirumab and paclitaxel on the same schedule without nivolumab. Treatment cycles continue unless the disease worsens or side effects become unacceptable. During the study, patients undergo CT scans and MRI imaging, and may optionally provide blood samples. Throughout the trial, participants are monitored with regular imaging and optional blood tests. After treatment ends, patients have follow-up visits at 30, 60, and 90 days, then every six months for up to three years. Researchers assess progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates, disease control, safety, and quality of life using questionnaires and patient-reported symptoms. This comprehensive monitoring helps evaluate treatment effects and patient well-being over time.

This trial evaluates treatment approaches for patients with locally advanced nasal and paranasal sinus squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed by surgery. It compares chemotherapy given before surgery and radiation therapy to surgery and radiation therapy alone. The study aims to assess organ preservation rates, overall survival, and progression-free survival, along with the accuracy of imaging predictions and the effects of tobacco use on treatment outcomes and patient symptoms. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. One group undergoes standard surgery followed by image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy IMRT and may receive cisplatin or carboplatin chemotherapy during radiation if certain risk factors are present. The other group receives up to three courses of chemotherapy with docetaxel and cisplatin or carboplatin before surgery, followed by the same radiation and chemotherapy approach. Chemotherapy is administered intravenously, and radiation is given daily for 30 treatments over several weeks. During the study, participants have imaging scans such as MRI and PETCT before and after chemotherapy to evaluate tumor status and organ preservation. After treatment, patients are monitored with follow-up visits every three months for up to two years, then every six months up to five years. The research team collects laboratory tests, questionnaires, and clinical assessments to measure survival outcomes, organ preservation, treatment side effects, and patient-reported symptoms throughout the study period.

Researchers are evaluating a treatment approach for early-stage hormone-sensitive, HER-2 negative breast cancer with an Oncotype recurrence score of 18 or less. This Phase III trial compares breast conservation surgery with endocrine therapy alone against breast conservation surgery with both radiation and endocrine therapy. The goal is to see if skipping radiation after lumpectomy is not worse in preventing cancer recurrence in the same breast. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive radiation therapy to the breast plus at least five years of endocrine therapy with drugs such as Tamoxifen, Anastrozole, Letrozole, or Exemestane. The other group will receive endocrine therapy only for at least five years without radiation. Radiation must start within 12 weeks of surgery if assigned. Endocrine therapy dosing and schedule are determined by the treating doctor. During the study, participants will have regular follow-ups up to five years to monitor cancer recurrence in the breast and elsewhere, survival, and breast preservation. Assessments will include clinical exams, imaging like mammograms or MRI, and pathology reviews. The main outcome is time to invasive or noninvasive breast tumor recurrence within five years. Some measures will continue through an average of 15 years, including breast conservation rates. Safety and overall health will be monitored throughout and after treatment.

Researchers are evaluating the use of the ClotTriever System compared to standard anticoagulation therapy for treating symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis DVT. This trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study that aims to compare clinical outcomes between an interventional device strategy and conservative medical management. The study will enroll approximately 300 participants and collect detailed data on demographics, comorbidities, DVT diagnosis, treatment, and clinical outcomes through a six-month follow-up. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups the ClotTriever Intervention Arm, where the ClotTriever System device is used for mechanical thrombectomy to restore and maintain vessel openness, or the Conservative Medical Management Arm, where patients receive anticoagulation therapy alone with medications such as heparin, warfarin, rivaroxaban, or apixaban. The study compares these two approaches to determine their effects on treatment outcomes in symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including clinical evaluations at specified time points up to 180 days to measure a composite clinical endpoint using a win ratio method. Additional evaluations will include assessment of post-thrombotic syndrome severity and monitoring for safety and treatment effects. Participants must be willing and able to attend follow-up visits over the six-month period to provide data for the studys outcome measures.

Researchers are studying premenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer that is estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative, focusing on tumors with specific gene recurrence scores. The trial aims to find out if adding chemotherapy to ovarian function suppression plus endocrine therapy improves invasive breast cancer-free survival compared to ovarian function suppression plus endocrine therapy alone. This Phase III trial addresses the need for better treatments in younger women, given their higher risk and past conflicting study results on ovarian suppression and chemotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving ovarian function suppression combined with an aromatase inhibitor for five years, and the other receiving adjuvant chemotherapy followed by the same ovarian function suppression and aromatase inhibitor regimen. Choices for the aromatase inhibitor and gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist are made by the investigator, with options including drugs such as goserelin, leuprolide, or triptorelin. Endocrine treatment beyond five years is at the investigators discretion, and bilateral oophorectomy may be used instead of ovarian suppression if preferred. During the study, participants are monitored over 11 years from randomization, with measurements including invasive breast cancer-free survival as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include disease-free survival, overall survival, recurrence intervals, menopausal symptoms, and pain during aromatase inhibitor therapy. Safety and treatment effects are assessed through regular evaluations, and participants continue to be followed long term to understand the impact of treatments on their breast cancer outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of preoperative opioid-free pain relief on the time it takes for patients to resume normal bladder function after same-day minor urogynecologic surgeries. This randomized controlled trial compares two groups one receiving acetaminophen alone and the other receiving a combination of acetaminophen, celecoxib, and gabapentin before surgery. The goal is to see if the combination reduces the time to trial of void in female patients undergoing these procedures. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either a single oral dose of 1000 mg acetaminophen alone or a combination of 1000 mg acetaminophen, 400 mg celecoxib, and 300 mg gabapentin before their urogynecologic surgery. These surgeries include procedures such as midurethral sling, periurethral bulking injections, anterior repair, posterior repair, and perineorrhaphy. The study period lasts for about two years to complete the follow-up. During the study, researchers will monitor the time until participants begin an active trial of void following surgery. Participants must be female, over 18 years of age, and in good general health to take oral medications. They will be assessed for safety and adherence to the study treatment. The primary outcome measure is the time to initiation of active trial of void, tracked through study completion. This study is sponsored by Northwell Health and includes regular monitoring without masking or blinding.
