This randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of paclitaxel when given together with cisplatin or topotecan with or without bevacizumab and to compare how well they work in treating patients with stage IVB, cervical cancer that has come back or is persistent. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, cisplatin, and topotecan, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective when given together with cisplatin or topotecan with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with cervical cancer.
This study will collect data from patients routinely undergoing a endoscopic surveillance and Cellvizio endomicroscopy procedure due to confirmed Barrett's esophagus. The objective is to determine if endomicroscopy images collected using the marketed Cellvizio device may help endoscopists more accurately diagnose, in conjunction with traditional tissue sampling techniques, whether a suspected lesion is malignant or benign.
Background: Between 2000 and 2006, 433 patients were overexposed (8% to 10%) during a course of conformal radiotherapy for a prostate adenocarcinoma in Jean MONNET hospital, Epinal, France. Among them, twenty four patients received an additional mean dose about 20%, due to an inappropriate use of the treatment planning system. Severe adverse events (proctitis, cystitis, and tissue necrosis) have occurred among most of these overexposed patients. We propose to develop several research programs in order to increase the scientific knowledge on iatrogenic effects related to overexposure of ionizing radiation, by studying their relationship with dosimetric, clinical, biologic and genetic characteristics. Aim of the study: To correlate the received doses, the volume of irradiated normal tissues, the events, with biologic, phenotypic and genetic data. Primary study endpoint: Incidence and severity of adverse events related to radiotherapy (according to SOMA - LENT and CTCAE scales).
Objectives: Primary Objectives: - Phase I: Determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of MK-0646 in combination with gemcitabine or gemcitabine plus erlotinib and recommended phase II dose. - Phase II: - Assess progression-free survival (PFS) with a) gemcitabine plus MK-0646 b) gemcitabine plus erlotinib plus MK-0646 and c) gemcitabine plus erlotinib. - Explore IGF1 tissue level as a predictive biomarker for MK-0646 therapy in phase II expansion cohort. Secondary Objectives: - Assess overall response rate (ORR), treatment toxicity, and overall survival (OS) with the addition of MK-0646 to gemcitabine or gemcitabine plus erlotinib. - Correlate PFS and OS with IGF-1, IGFBP-3 levels and the expression of p-IRS, IGF-1R, EMT biomarkers, Akt, Erk, mTOR, and PI13k in tumor cells. - To assess the incidence of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the IgF1R pathway related genes (IGF1, IGF1R, IRS1 and IRS2). These genotypes will be correlated with the clinical endpoints of this study, including OS, ORR and PFS.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as panitumumab, 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to kill tumor cells or stop them from growing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with panitumumab and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving panitumumab together with docetaxel, cisplatin, radiation therapy, and surgery works in treating patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced esophageal cancer or cancer of the gastroesophageal junction.
This study is being done to find out how effective a new treatment strategy is on your cancer. In this strategy, the response your tumor has to the first cycle of therapy will help select the next treatments. We also will find out the effects, both good and/or bad, a drug called bevacizumab has on you and your tumor when given with chemotherapy.
In this trial, FLOT will be evaluated as therapy option for elderly patients (>65 years) with advanced gastric cancer in comparison to the well established FLO scheme. The hypothesis is that FLOT is more effective than FLO in elderly patients with acceptable side effects.
This phase II trial is studying how well saracatinib works in treating patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The primary purpose of this trial is to define the maximum tolerated and/or recommended phase II dose of the combination of Avastin and Tarceva in patients undergoing radiation therapy for carcinoma of the pancreas. An additional primary objective is to describe the frequency and nature of grade III/IV and grade I/II toxicities associated with this regimen. Secondary objectives include describing 1-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates as well as to estimate clinical and pathologic complete response rates associated with this regimen.
