Fallopian Tube Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00880360
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio
Brief Summary

This study tests whether denileukin diftitox will deplete regulatory T cells, boost tumor-specific immunity and treat epithelial ovarian cancer in patients who have failed, or who are ineligible for front line therapy.

Detailed Description

This is a non-randomized, single-arm, Phase II trial. Selected patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancers who have no reasonable chance of cure using standard regimens, or who will not receive such regimens (due to contraindication or intolerance) are eligible. Patients will be treated with Ontak at 12 µg/kg monthly as long as they meet response criteria.
