Filter by:In Brazil pancreatic adenocarcinoma represents 2% of tumors, and 4% mortality being an uncommon disease, however very aggressive.Only 20% of cases are indicated for curative surgery, of which only 20% are alive within 5 years. For locally, advanced or metastatic disease, since 1997, single chemotherapy with gemcitabine is the standard treatment for first line, with survival around 6 months approximately.There is no standard treatment regimen for second-line, however Paclitaxel demonstrated effect on second-line phase II study. Metformin is an oral hypoglycemic drug used for treatment of diabetes mellitus. There is a growing number of preclinical studies which show antitumor effect against pancreatic adenocarcinoma, probably due to the effect of anti-insulin growth factor (IGF-1). This study will add metformin to standard treatment for second line of locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma in ICESP previously treated with gemcitabine. The objective is to evaluate whether metformin improves the efficacy of the standard treatment with paclitaxel by clinical and radiological evaluation.
Phase I Multicenter, Open-label, Clinical and Pharmacokinetic Study of PM01183 in Combination with Fixed Doxorubicin in Non- Heavily Pretreated Patients with Selected Advanced Solid Tumors to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of PM01183 in combination with doxorubicin, to characterize the safety profile and feasibility of this combination, to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of this combination, to obtain preliminary information on the clinical antitumor activity,to explore the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a potential improvable dose of this combination in selected tumor types [i.e. small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and endometrial cáncer] and to evaluate the pharmacogenomics (PGx) in tumor samples of patients exposed to PM01183 and doxorubicin at the RD in order to assess potential markers of response and/or resistance.
The purpose of this study is to see if implanting MatriStem will lower the risk of one of the more common complications after stomach or esophagus surgery.
The purpose of this study is to see if megestrol acetate plus metformin will be more effective in returning the endometrial tissue to a normal state than megestrol acetate alone in patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia or early stage endometrial adenocarcinoma.
Based on conventional chemotherapy approach, data have indicated that the Folfirinox regimen is more effective and tolerate than the treatment by Gemcitabine alone in patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A recent study combining gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel improve the objective response rate. Primary objective of this study is to identify the maximun tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose of first line treatment combining gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel followed by folfirinox in metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to determine a dose for future development and to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy profiles of JNJ-42756493 in Japanese and other Asian patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors or lymphoma.
Stage Iļ¼preoperative therapy - Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin with concurrent radiotherapy is superior to surgery alone ; Stage II: Perioperative therapy - Perioperative Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin with Concurrent radiotherapy is superior to adjuvant Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin alone; - A regimen of Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(XELOX) improves survival among patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of stomach and gastroesophageal cancer . The investigators assessed whether the addition of a perioperative regimen of XELOX regimen with concurrent radiotherapy to adjuvant alone improves R0 resection rate and survival among patients with curable locally advanced adenocarcinoma of stomach and gastroesophageal cancer
Prospective randomized study comparing radiofrequency ablation and cryotherapy for the endoscopic treatment of Barrett's esophagus. The study is powered to assess clinical equivalence (non-inferior) of the treatment regimens.
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase (PEGPH20) when given together with combination chemotherapy and to see how well they work compared with combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase may help chemotherapy drugs work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, and oxaliplatin, 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 combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without pegylated recombinant human hyaluronidase in treating pancreatic cancer.
Docetaxel is the standard, first-line chemotherapeutic agent for castrate resistant prostate cancer. While it has clinically useful activity, there is a strong need for substantial improvement in its efficacy. Possible ways for improving docetaxel monotherapy would be to combine it with an agent that either minimized toxicity (thus allowing higher doses) or improves efficacy (by targeting synergistic pathways). Lycopene is an attractive agent for combination with docetaxel because of its known accumulation in prostate tissue, its low toxicity, and its ability to inhibit signaling through the IGF-1 axis, and to reduce IL6 levels. Lycopene is highly synergistic with docetaxel at inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer in mice. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lycopene given in combination with docetaxel. This dose can then be used for subsequent phase II or phase III studies. New findings from the ECOG E3805 study presented at ASCO 2014, showed that concurrent chemotherapy with first-line ADT for newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer markedly improved overall survival compared with delayed or no chemotherapy. These subjects could also benefit from intervention to increase docetaxel effectiveness.
