Filter by:This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride when given together with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and radiation before surgery and alone after surgery in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with erlotinib hydrochloride and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a chemotherapy combination called modified Folfirinox (or mFolfirinox), followed by a combination of gemcitabine and radiation therapy, followed by surgery, can help to control pancreatic cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. mFolfirinox consists of 5-FU, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. These 3 drugs, along with gemcitabine, are each designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may lead to cancer cell death.
This is an open-label, single centre, single-arm phase II study which aims to assess the efficacy and tolerability of triplet combination of capecitabine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (Xeloxiri regimen) in treating patients with advanced unresectable pancreatic carcinoma. Clinical data from patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma will be collected and analyzed in this study. The patients' data will be collected and maintained in the Division of Medical Oncology of the University Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong.
This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel given together with cisplatin and pegfilgrastim followed by erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving dose-dense combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim and erlotinib hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of cytotoxic chemotherapy (Oxaliplatin and 5Fu) with bevacizumab concomitantly with radiotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for patients with locally advanced but resectable rectal adenocarcinoma.
This study evaluated the long-term safety of quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) types 6, 11, 16, 18 vaccine and its effectiveness in the prevention of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), adenocarcinoma in situ, and cervical cancer related to HPV in Japanese women.
No validated second-line chemotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced/metastatic pancreatic cancer is actually available,after the failure of a gemcitabine(+/- Cisplatin or Oxaliplatin)-based regimen. Irinotecan seems to be a moderately active drug in the treatment of this disease Recently was reported some interesting results using a potentially non -cross resistant regimen (FOLFIRI) which could be useful even as second-line chemotherapy. An exploratory study in this setting seem warranted.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of sirolimus when given together with vismodegib in treating patients with solid tumors or pancreatic cancer that is metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Sirolimus and vismodegib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This phase II trial studies how well linsitinib works in treating patients with asymptomatic or mild symptomatic metastatic prostate cancer. Linsitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Positron emission tomography using carbon-11 acetate (AC-PET) may help find local or distant metastases from prostate cancer. This clinical trial is studying how this imaging test may help influence the choice and extent of initial treatments, and subsequent treatments.
