Pilot Study of an Implantable Microdevice for Evaluating Drug Responses in Situ in Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Peritoneal Cancer
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Summary
This pilot study will assess the feasibility of using an implantable microdevice to measure local intratumor response to chemotherapy and other clinically relevant drugs in ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer. The name of the study intervention involved in this study is: -implantable microdevice
Description
This research study will assess the feasibility of using an implantable microdevice to measure local intratumor response to chemotherapy and other clinically relevant drugs in ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer. Participants with suspected or confirmed ovarian cancer whose treatment plan includes surgery as a component of standard-of-care treatment will be identified. -The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow-up. The name of the study intervention involved in this study is: implantable microdevic…

- Healthy volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must have suspected or confirmed clinically advanced stage (III-IV, defined as disease outside of the pelvis) ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. If a patient has suspected ovarian cancer but final histologic analysis does not show evidence of ovarian cancer, the patient will be removed from the study and replaced. * Participants must meet one of the following clinical categories: * Cohort 1: Patients with a new or suspected diagnosis of ovarian cancer who are deemed surgical candidates for primary cytoreductive surgery (as per their surgical g…
Interventions
- Combination ProductMicrodevice
Placement of 1 to 6 implantable microdevices with multiple miniature drug reservoirs into a tumor mass 24 +/- 8 hours prior to surgery. Drugs will be released over 24 (+/- 8) hours while the microdevice is in the tumor prior to retrieval. The local tissue is retrieved along with the microdevice and no residual drug will remain. * Each microdevice will harbor up to 20 drugs and drug combinations relevant to the treatment of ovarian cancer. * Each drug or drug combination will be released from a single, separate reservoir. At least two reservoirs will harbor a drug vehicle only. * Drugs will include all or a subset of the following: Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Doxorubicin or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide, Gemcitabine, Ifosfamide, Pemetrexed, Topotecan, Vinorelbine, Olaparib, Niraparib, Rucaparib, Carboplatin + paclitaxel (combination), Carboplatin + doxorubicin (combination),Carboplatin + gemcitabine (combination)
