About this study

Official title: Study of Primary Tumor Harvest for the Purpose of Possible Use in a Future Clinical Trial in Patients With Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer (Ovarian Spore)

The purpose of this research study is to collect tumor samples at the time of surgery and store them for possible use as part of an experimental vaccine study for the participants cancer in the future.

Read the detailed description
  • Even if tumor sample is collected, the participant is under no obligation to participate in the vaccine study.
  • Participants will have their regularly planned surgery as described by their surgeon. During the surgery, tumor samples will be collected. We will only collect tumor that is not needed and could otherwise be thrown away.
  • The tumor samples will be frozen and placed in storage for up to two years.

Study groups in NCT00801320
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort 1ExperimentalPatients with either primary ovarian carcinoma or ovarian carcinoma in first relapse treated with DC/Ovarian tumor cells + GM-CSF
Receives: Procedure: Tumor collection
Cohort 2ExperimentalPatients with either primary ovarian carcinoma or ovarian carcinoma in first relapse treated with DC/Ovarian tumor cells + GM-CSF and topical Imiquimod at site of vaccination
Receives: Procedure: Tumor collection

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To collect patient tumor samples that could possibly be used in a subsequent clinical vaccine trial (DF/HCC protocol 07-380).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To gain experience in appropriate clinical processing of tumor samples and determining cell yield.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Based on feasibility of collection of blood samples of subjects, quantification of T cell subsets, regulatory T cells, activated memory effector cells, and DC phenotype at pre-surgery and post-surgery time points.

    Measured: 2 years
