Filter by:This study aimed to investigate the clinical utility of Annexin A2 serum level as a novel diagnostic marker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to correlate its level with alpha fetoprotein the current marker ofhepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
French national multicentric phase III trial evaluating chemotherapy with Folfirinox or gemcitabine in locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma.
According to randomized controlled trial requirement, the therapeutic effectiveness of cooled-probe microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation on early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma is compared to find a better approach for minimally invasive thermal ablation.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab and vorinostat in treating patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer or salivary gland cancer that has come back, has spread to other places in the body and/or cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab together with vorinostat may be a better treatment for head and neck cancer or salivary gland cancer.
Evaluation of patient reported outcomes ( PRO) regarding typical ailments in the REAL LIFE Renal Cell Carcinoma population
This is a phase 1 study (the first step in testing a new drug or combination, to see how safe the drug and/or combination are) of investigational agent BYL719 in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (LA-SCCHN) in combination with standard radiation and chemotherapy (cisplatin). BYL719 is a new drug that is able to bind (attach to) and block a protein called PI3K-alpha. PI3K-alpha is part of an important pathway called EGFR/PI3K/Akt. A pathway is a series of chemical reactions among proteins in the cells that are involved in the support of normal cellular function. If the pathway is too active, due to changes in those proteins, the pathway can lead to tumor cell growth, survival and invasion. BYL719 has been shown to stop cancers in laboratory and animal studies. This study is the first time BYL719 will be combined with radiation and chemotherapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of methoxyamine when given together with pemetrexed disodium, cisplatin, and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage IIIA-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methoxyamine hydrochloride, pemetrexed disodium, and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving methoxyamine hydrochloride together with pemetrexed disodium, cisplatin, and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of niclosamide when given together with enzalutamide in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site to other places in the body. Androgens such as testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs like enzalutamide block androgens from driving tumor growth; however, when androgen receptor splice variants are present, these drugs may not be effective. Niclosamide may decrease the amount of androgen receptor splice variant present within tumor cells, thus promoting the anti-tumor effects of enzalutamide. Giving niclosamide together with enzalutamide may be a better treatment for prostate cancer.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of enzalutamide in participants with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as measured by overall survival (OS). This study also evaluated the safety of enzalutamide; pharmacokinetics of enzalutamide and the active metabolite N-desmethyl and Progression Free Survival (PFS) of enzalutamide as compared to placebo in participants with advanced HCC.
This phase II trial studies how well accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy works in treating patients with breast cancer that has not spread beyond the breast or the axillary lymph nodes (early-stage) after surgery. Radiation therapy uses a type of energy to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Brachytherapy is a type of internal radiation therapy that provides radiation inside the breast to any remaining tumor cells next to the space where the tumor was removed, and is given over a shorter amount of time than standard radiation therapy. Giving accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) using high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy may reduce the overall time that radiation is delivered to the tumor cells.
