Brief Title: Plasmodium Immunotherapy for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Official Title: Clinical Study of Plasmodium Immunotherapy for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Study ID: NCT05924776
Brief Summary: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Plasmodium immunotherapy in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. This study plans to enroll 30 patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Each patient is inoculated with Plasmodium vivax 1-5 × 10\^6, observe the time when the parasite is detected in the peripheral blood of the subjects after the inoculation of Plasmodium, the change of the parasite density in the peripheral blood of the whole treatment cycle and the control effect of the drug on the parasite density, the main clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory test indicators, immunological test indicators and changes in the quality of life. To evaluate the safety and tolerance of the subjects to Plasmodium immunotherapy, as well as the changes of tumor related indicators and immunological indicators.
Detailed Description: Each subject who passed the screening is immunized with Plasmodium vivax 1-5 × 10\^6, observe the time when the parasite is detected in the peripheral blood of the subjects after inoculation, the change of the parasite density in the peripheral blood of the whole treatment cycle (about 6 weeks) and the control effect of the drug on the parasite density. The clinical symptoms and signs after treatment are mainly observed; Blood routine, blood biochemistry, blood coagulation, tumor markers and other laboratory test indicators change; Changes of cellular immunity and humoral immunity; Changes in quality of life. When Plasmodium infected erythrocytes among total erythrocytes (defined as the parasite density) ≥ 0.1% occurs during the test, artemisinin drugs should be used to control the parasite density below 0.1%, and symptomatic treatment should be carried out. The duration of Plasmodium immunotherapy for each subject is 6 weeks (time window, ± 1 day). The day the immunodynamic marker (Fim) is greater than baseline level is defined as the first day of Plasmodium immunotherapy. When Plasmodium immunotherapy lasts for 6 weeks (time window, ± 1 day), use antimalarial drugs to kill the parasite and terminate the treatment. After treatment, the patients are followed up for 2 years. We will carry out a follow-up visit once a month after the termination of Plasmodium infection according to the plan, and the follow-up visit in the first month, third month and sixth month is outpatient visit, which is ± 5 days in the first month and ± 7 days in the third month and sixth month respectively; Follow-up outpatient visit will be conducted every 3 months ± 10 days; The rest are telephone follow-up (once every 30 days ± 5). When the follow-up time overlaps with the previous outpatient follow-up time, no additional telephone follow-up will be conducted.
