Filter by:Investigation of the outcome of an adjuvant treatment with catumaxomab as compared to surgery alone in patients after curative resection of a gastric adenocarcinoma in order to gain more detailed information primary on safety, tolerability and feasibility and secondary on relevant efficacy parameters.
The purpose of this study is to measure the levels of serum proteins and other biomarkers in cancer patients and in patients suspected of having cancer. We believe that some of these markers may be useful for confirming the diagnosis or for selecting patients for specific types of cancer therapies. These markers may also help to predict response to therapy, relapse after therapy, and survival after therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall objective tumor response rate (ORR) of Gefitinib.
Study objectives: To determine Ro resection rate of Docetaxel, cisplatin and fluorouracil combination for the treatment of neoadjuvant gastric carcinoma.
Current chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, not amenable for curative local treatment (surgery or chemoradiotherapy), has a modest life-prolonging effect and can improve quality of life. There is however no potential for long-term cure for these patients. Chemotherapy also produces variable and often significant toxicity. Current retrospective evidence suggests that significant clinical responses can be obtained when patients whose cancer cells have an EGFR TKD mutation are treated with an EGFR TKI. The ease of administration and toxicity profile of TKI compare favourably with that of chemotherapy, even single agents such as for example gemcitabine The present study will establish the clinical benefit rate of TKI as a first line treatment in patients with EGFR mutations and thus estimate the proportion of patients who might benefit for a prolonged period from a treatment with a modest toxicity profile.
This phase II trial is studying how well eribulin mesylate (E7389; Halichondrin B Analog) works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
This clinical trial studies combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and bevacizumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, etoposide, and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of [cancer/tumor] cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and flavopiridol, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Flavopiridol may also help docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel followed by flavopiridol works in treating patients with refractory metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ixabepilone and mitoxantrone hydrochloride when given together with prednisone and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, mitoxantrone hydrochloride, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells
AMP-004 is a Phase 1b dose escalation trial designed to evaluate the safety of the new drug imexon in combination with an approved drug, gemcitabine, for the treatment of patients with previously untreated pancreatic cancer. The treatment consists of dosing with both imexon and gemcitabine on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28 day cycle. The study is designed to determine the highest doses of the two drugs that can be safely combined together.
