Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well hormone therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Anti-hormone therapy using goserelin, leuprolide acetate, or bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving hormone therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of calcitriol when given in combination with ketoconazole and therapeutic hydrocortisone and to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer. Calcitriol may help prostate cancer cells become more like normal cells and grow and spread more slowly. Ketoconazole and therapeutic hydrocortisone may help calcitriol work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving calcitriol together with ketoconazole and therapeutic hydrocortisone may be a better treatment for prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel and prednisone together with or without cediranib works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cediranib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving docetaxel together with prednisone, with or without cediranib, may kill more tumor cells.
Phase I Objectives Primary: 1. The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Docetaxel combined with 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin (D-FOX) in patients with untreated, locally unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). Secondary: 1. To determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity and reversibility of toxicity of this combination. Phase II Objectives Primary: 1. To assess time to cancer progression to D-FOX treatment regimen. Secondary: 1. To assess response rate to D-FOX treatment regimen. 2. To determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity and reversibility of toxicity of this combination treatment regimen. 3. Determine overall survival. 4. Perform an exploratory investigation into the effect of D-FOX on phenotypic abnormalities in blood.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a combination of 5-FU, Folinic Acid and Oxaliplatin, given with radiation therapy, is effective in the treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal cancers that will be removed by surgery if possible. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied.
This single arm, multicenter, open-label, Phase II study will enroll chemotherapy-naive participants with metastatic, histologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (stage M1 D2). Treatment will continue until there is evidence of disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met. Non-surgically castrated participants must continue the use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists during protocol treatment.
The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) docetaxel, oxaliplatin, and cetuximab have on gastric or GEJ cancer.
Chemotherapy given together is a standard way to treat your cancer. One standard treatment includes a combination of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil. However, the original combination of these three drugs can cause many side effects. This study is being done to find out if these three drugs can be given at lower doses more often, with fewer side effects and still maintain the same benefit as the standard way of giving this three drug combination. If your tumor overexpresses a protein called Her2, you are also eligible to receive trastuzumab with chemotherapy. Trastuzumab is a medicine that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Her2 positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab is now also a standard treatment in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of Her2 positive stomach cancer. If your tumor is Her2 positive, you would receive the modified administration schedule of docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil with trastuzumab.
To evaluate wether colorectal stenting carry a significant clinical advantage
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus when given together with hormone therapy in treating patients with relapsed prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of androgens the body makes. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving hormone therapy together with temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells
