Filter by:To determine the safety and efficacy of the combination of bevacizumab and everolimus (RAD001) for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving vorinostat and sorafenib tosylate together in treating patients with kidney or non-small cell lung cancer. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving vorinostat together with sorafenib tosylate may kill more tumor cells.
Primary objective: Comparison of independently assessed progression free survival (PFS) in subjects administered Bevacizumab + Temsirolimus vs. those administered Bevacizumab + Interferon-Alfa. Secondary objectives: safety, Investigator assessed PFS, objective response rate (independently assessed), and overall survival.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the combination of gemcitabine and doxil will have clinical activity in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sunitinib is more effective when given before or after surgery in treating kidney cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of sunitinib and to compare how well it works when given before or after surgery in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
To determine the tolerability, safety, end-organ toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of AS1409 in single and repeated doses.
This study will look how using taken from your tumors and mixed with special immune stimulating cells from another person's blood in given back to you in a series "fusion cell" injections, will effect your body. The primary goal of the study is to see if giving the experimental fusion cell injections is safe. We will also be looking to see what effect the experimental treatment as on your immune system and whether it has an effect on your cancer.
This is a Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation trial in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard therapy; tumors may include malignant melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. These tumor types were selected because evidence of biological activity was observed in these tumor types in a Phase I study of JX-594 (Pexa-Vec) administered by intratumoral injection in patients with metastatic disease to the liver. Patients will receive treatment at one of five dose levels in a sequential dose-escalating design.
RATIONALE: A peripheral blood stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant using stem cells from the patient may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy used to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bone marrow radiation therapy followed by an autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with high-risk or relapsed solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving bortezomib together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with cetuximab in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
