Filter by:The primary goal of the research study is to determine whether treating pancreatic cancer patients with hydroxychloroquine in combination with gemcitabine before surgery is safe. The secondary goal is to determine if this new treatment regimen can effectively treat pancreatic cancer. This study will test the safety and efficacy of this combination in two parts, or phases.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CO-1.01 is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer and low hENT1 expression compared with gemcitabine.
Based on the current promising results with irinotecan and cetuximab in patients with recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer, and the excellent results of Irinotecan and 5-FU in gastric cancer , the present clinical study to evaluate the overall response rate, the time to progression and the overall survival of the combined treatment of cetuximab and irinotecan and 5-FU in patients with esophagogastric cancer is urgently needed.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of BIBW 2992 compared to standard first-line chemotherapy in patients with stage IIIB or IV adenocarcinoma of the lung harbouring an EGFR activating mutation
This randomized phase II trial is studying bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate to see how well they work when given with or without cixutumumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, 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. It is not yet known whether bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate are more effective when given with or without cixutumumab in treating prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy, that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies intensity-modulated external beam radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and to kill tumor cells. 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy is more effective with or without cetuximab in treating patients with esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy, with or without cetuximab, followed by surgery in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
This is a descriptive observational study. The primary objective is to explore the EGFR gene mutation status in early stage NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology after complete resection. The patients should be histological confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lung, have received complete resection and tested for EGFR mutation in regular medical practice.
This phase II trial studies how well first-line treatment of bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating participants with stage III- IV ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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. Giving bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel as first-line treatment may work better at treating ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of alisertib in combination with docetaxel as a treatment for participants with advanced solid tumors, including castration-resistant prostate cancer, who were deemed by the investigator to be medically appropriate candidates for docetaxel therapy.
