Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance with a genuine dr.. We are not doctors. Always consult your mD about Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor Clinical research trials and Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor medical trials take place in many of places throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectiveness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor. Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the human subjects acquire professional assistance for free of charge, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor clinical trial. Test subjects typically obtain the finest healthcare available for their Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, medical dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor



Imatinib Mesylate in Treating Patients With Refractory or Relapsed Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Ovarian Low Malignant Potential Tumor

For Condition: Fallopian Tube Cancer,peritoneal cavity cancer,recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer,ovarian low malignant potential tumor
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) ,
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have refractory or relapsedovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primaryperitoneal cancer, or ovarian low malignant potential tumor.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the clinical activity of imatinib mesylate in patients with recurrent or relapsed ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer or ovarian low malignant potential tumor. - Correlate the biochemical modulation of signal transduction pathways downstream of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) and c-kit tyrosine kinases in biopsy tissue with outcome in patients treated with this drug. - Correlate the expression of PDGFR and c-kit in both archival and fresh biopsy tissue with response and outcome in patients treated with this drug. - Investigate the potential antiangiogenic activity of this drug in microdissected tumor cell and stromal lysates of these patients. - Investigate the potential for collateral receptor tyrosine kinase inhibition in biopsy tissue of patients treated with this drug. - Evaluate the application of surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization with time-of-flight detection (SELDI-TOF) with artificial intelligence bioinformatics to serially obtained serum samples for prediction of response in these patients and/or toxicity of this drug. OUTLINE: Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Up to 47 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-20 months.
