Filter by:Early metabolic response evaluation may predict clinical and histopathological response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Its value in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is unknown. Our aim was to assess the value of early metabolic response after one cycle of chemotherapy using 18-FDG-PET-CT to predict pathological response and outcome in cT2-4 N0/+ esophageal cancer treated by neoadjuvant CRT and esophagectomy.
The primary objective is to investigate the objective response rate in patients receiving GEMOX (gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin) plus cetuximab as first line treatment in advanced or metastatic unresectable BTC biliary tract cancer compared to patients receiving the same chemotherapy without cetuximab. The secondary objectives include the exploration of the effect of the multimodality strategy on progression-free and overall survival, biomarker prediction, and toxicity.
This phase II trial studies how well brivanib alaninate works in treating patients with cervical cancer that has come back. Brivanib alaninate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with cervical cancer that does not go to remission despite treatment (persistent) or has come back (recurrent). Vaccines therapy may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
This phase II clinical trial is studying the how well veliparib, topotecan hydrochloride, and filgrastim or pegfilgrastim work in treating patients with persistent or recurrent cervical cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by blocking them from dividing. Giving veliparib with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Filgrastim or pegfilgrastim may cause the body to make more blood cells and help it recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.
In Spain, the gastric carcinoma is the 5th most frequent malignant tumor in women and the 6th in men, and represents the 3rd cause of cancer-related deaths amongst women and the 4th amongst men. The average of 5-year survival rate in Spain is under 30%. The main reason of it is that, despite carrying out an adjuvant treatment, more than the 50% will present relapsed disease. Sorafenib has been the first RAF inhibitor, both of RAF-1 and B-rRAF and its b-RAF variant V600E. Moreover, it has shown its ability to inhibit other tyrosin-quinase receptors as VEGFR 2 and 3, c-kit, Flt-3 or PDGFR. Its activity has been clearly proven in clear cell renal carcinoma. The mechanism by which Sorafenib seems to act is not because of the existence of a mutation of RAS or RAF, but because as there is a VHL shortage the HIP produces a VEGF, bFGF or TGF overexpression that produces in turn a hyper-stimulation on the RAF/ERK/MEK pathway. The RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and angiogenesis seem to be clearly involved in the gastric carcinoma tumorigenesis and progression. Because of that, it seems interesting to associate Sorafenib to an oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, which has shown its effectiveness in relapsed patients after receiving cisplatin-based schemes. Moreover, there is a phase 1 trial confirming the tolerance of the oxaliplatin and Sorafenib association, describing partial responses amongst gastric cancer patients previously treated with cisplatin.
This is a single-blind, randomized, cross-over design. Patients with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma; newly diagnosed, high-risk patients with prostate adenocarcinoma; and healthy subjects will be administered a single intravenous dose of each of the study drugs 99mTc MIP 1404 and 99mTc MIP 1405 administered approximately 14 to 21 days apart.
This phase II clinical trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK2206 works in treating patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Hsp90 inhibitor AUY922 and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of Hsp90 inhibitor AUY922 when given together with erlotinib hydrochloride and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Investigate the safety and tolerability of ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) drug product (DP) in combination with paclitaxel.
