Filter by:Primary objective: to assess the antitumor activity and safety profile of cetuximab when given in combination with radiotherapy (RT) for the treatment of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in Chinese subjects. Secondary objective: to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and immunogenicity of cetuximab in Chinese subjects. Further objective: to identify for cetuximab potential predictive biomarkers of response and safety.
The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of REOLYSIN therapeutic reovirus in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is effective and safe in the treatment of squamous cell carinoma of the lung.
The Primary Objective is to evaluate the progression-free survival after treatment with docetaxel plus cisplatin plus 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) (DCF) in comparison with cisplatin plus 5-FU (CF) in patient with locally advanced inoperable SCCHN The Secondary Objective is to evaluate and compare the clinical response rate both before and after radiotherapy, the local symptoms, the duration of response, the time to treatment failure, the survival, the toxicity and the quality of life in the 2 study groups.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the antitumor activity of cetuximab when given in combination with cisplatin + 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) for the first-line treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) in Japanese subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatment with bevacizumab + cisplatin + cetuximab + IMRT. The doctor wishes to monitor patients for 2 years after the completion of study treatment to determine if they are cancer-free during that time. They also want to evaluate the side effects that patients experience with this treatment regimen.
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of rosuvastatin that can be given in combination with standard erlotinib treatment in patients with advanced incurable squamous cell cancer and NSCLC.
The goal of this clinical research study is to give cetuximab and/or IMC-A12 before surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, in order to learn if these study drugs may cause changes in biomarkers. Biomarkers are chemical "markers" in the blood and/or tissue that may be related to a reaction to study treatment. The safety of the study treatments will also be studied.
The molecular mechanisms involved in squamous cell carcinoma of the anus (SCCA) are poorly elucidated. HIV-positive and renal transplant patients are at high risk for developing SCCA, indicating that immune suppression plays a facilitating role. The investigators previously demonstrated that chromosomal instability (CIN) was more prevalent in SCCA of HIV-negative than HIV-positive patients. Hence, the investigators postulate that microsatellite instability (MSI), another molecular pathway, might be a feature of SCCA progression in the HIV-positive population. Study Aims: 1. to determine the prevalence of MSI in paraffin-embedded tumor specimen of 15 patients from the Swiss HIV cohort who underwent surgical excision for SCCA; and 2. eventually, to test our hypothesis by assessing the MSI status of SCCA in 15 recently operated HIV-negative patients. Study Design: The study is designed in two steps: 1. Firstly, the investigators will retrieve tumor specimen from 15 HIV-positive patients, with a biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of SCCA, in three institutions. DNA from tumor and normal tissues will be extracted, and then amplified by PCR. Presence of MSI in tumors will be determined by assessing the microsatellite markers BAT25, BAT26, and CAT25. 2. Secondly, the results of molecular analysis will be compared with a population of HIV-negative patients, with the same tumors, using the same detection technique for MSI.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if RAD001 in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride) can help to control head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
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. Sorafenib tosylate 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. It is not yet known whether cetuximab is more effective when given alone or together with sorafenib tosylate in treating patients with head and neck cancer. This randomized phase II trial is studying cetuximab to see how well it works when given together with or without sorafenib tosylate in treating patients with refractory, recurrent, and/or metastatic head and neck cancer.
