Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the dose limiting toxicity and the maximum tolerable dose of the radiochemotherapy with Docetaxel and Oxaliplatin in patients with adenocarcinoma of the gastric-oesophageal junction.
This phase I trial studies how well giving bevacizumab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy to the chest works in treating patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. 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 or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving bevacizumab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with radiation therapy and cisplatin works in treating patients with previously untreated locally advanced cervical cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of cervical cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with radiation therapy and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.
Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Cetuximab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. 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 or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cetuximab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer
To study the safety and feasibility of stereotactic radiation dose escalation following neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent conventionally fractionated radiation, by evaluating the acute and late toxicity of treatment.
The main purpose of this study is to learn whether or not the combination of gemcitabine, bevacizumab and erlotinib works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Bevacizumab is a new anti-cancer drug. It is an antibody that works to slow or stop cell growth in cancerous tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of colorectal cancer but is still considered investigational for treating pancreatic cancer.
The purposes of this study are to test the safety of bevacizumab when given in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin and to see what effects (good and bad) this combination has on patients with cancer of bile duct or gallbladder. Bevacizumab has been shown to slow or stop cell growth in tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors.
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as denileukin difitox, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and may prevent tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of denileukin diftitox in treating patients with advanced refractory ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal carcinoma, or epithelial fallopian tube cancer.
Primary Objective: 1. To determine the objective response rate (complete plus partial) to the combination of capecitabine (Xeloda) and oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) (XELOX) in patients with adenocarcinoma of the small bowel and ampulla of Vater. Secondary objectives include determining the toxicity, time-to-treatment failure, and overall survival rates in patients treated with this combination.
This is a phase II study of induction chemotherapy (capecitabine, oxaliplatin and cetuximab (erbitux)) followed by capecitabine, oxaliplatin, cetuximab and radiotherapy followed by surgery followed by adjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin and cetuximab for locally advanced resectable rectal cancer.
