Clinical Trials Shashikant B. Lele is currently running
Letrozole +/- Chemotherapy
for Ovarian Cancer
This phase III trial studies how well letrozole with or without paclitaxel and carboplatin works in treating patients with stage II-IV low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum. Letrozole is an enzyme inhibitor that lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body which in turn may stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving letrozole alone or in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin works better in treating patients with low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin without letrozole.

Iohexol-aided Carboplatin Dosing
for Cancer
This trial studies how well iohexol helps doctors calculate the dose of carboplatin for cancer patients. By measuring kidney function more accurately, doctors can improve the effectiveness and safety of carboplatin treatment. Carboplatin is a platinum-based chemotherapy drug used to treat various cancers, known for its improved toxicity profile compared to cisplatin.
