Filter by:To determine the toxicities, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose of MKC-1 when administered orally, twice daily for 14 days followed by 7 days without dosing, in combination with pemetrexed (delivered at its recommended single agent dose) to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. Also, to determine the antitumor activity, based on the objective response rate and median Progression Free Survival ("PFS"), of oral MKC-1, administered on this schedule in combination with pemetrexed to patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The goal of the study is to learn about patients' knowledge of their medications in an outpatient acute care setting (such as the M. D. Anderson Emergency Center) and to learn about any clinical factors that affect patients' knowledge of their medications.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-334543. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, patients will receive increasing doses of study drug (2 dosing schedules will be evaluated) in order to achieve the highest dose possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 70 patients from the US and Canada will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of the study, patients will receive the best dose(s) and schedule(s) of study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects the study drug causes and what effectiveness it has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 40 patients from the US and Canada will be enrolled in Part 2 (Completed).
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of AMG 531 that will decrease the risk and severity of thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts) in patients who have received chemotherapy. Researchers will also look at the safety and effectiveness of AMG 531 (Romiplostim). Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the clinical safety and tolerability of AMG 531 administered following chemotherapy in patients with advanced malignancy 2. To determine an optimal biologic dose (OBD) of AMG 531 administered in patients receiving chemotherapy known to cause severe thrombocytopenia 3. To evaluate the effects of AMG 531 on the degree and duration of thrombocytopenia and platelet recovery following chemotherapy Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate limited pharmacokinetics of AMG 531 administered by S.C. route post-chemotherapy
The purpose of this investigational study is to determine the safety and tolerability of oral suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid when administered in combination with standard doses of pemetrexed and cisplatin for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-142886. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 25 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of the study, patients will receive the best dose of study drug, determined from the first part of the study, and will be followed to see what side effects the study drug causes and what effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 35 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Completed).
