Filter by:The Bev-IP trial is designed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a combined treatment consisting of perioperative combination chemotherapy with the vascular endothelial growth factor A inhibitor bevacizumab and cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal oxaliplatin.
This is a randomized, prospective, multicenter study.
This phase II study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hypofractionated proton beam therapy (PBT) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma patients in hepatitis B endemic area.
Cervical cancer remains an important health problem worldwide. Poor tumor oxygenation (hypoxia) is associated with inferior survival in cervical cancer and resistance to radiation treatment. Hypoxia-modifying therapies improve survival, but existing therapies are impractical and/or toxic. Metformin, a non-toxic drug for diabetes, has been shown to decrease tumor hypoxia in animal studies and its use is associated with better survival in diabetic cancer patients. It is hypothesized that metformin may decrease cervical tumor hypoxia and thereby improve tumor response to radiation and survival in patients with locally advanced cervix cancer. This is a randomized, multicenter phase II study of standard chemoradiation in combination with metformin versus standard chemoradiation alone in women with locally advanced cervix cancer. Women randomized to the metformin group will take metformin starting 1 week prior to standard chemoradiation and throughout the duration of external radiation treatment. Tumor hypoxia will be measured by a special X-ray test called positron emission test (PET) performed with a hypoxia dye called FAZA. The main purpose of this study is to see if metformin decreases tumor hypoxia measured on FAZA-PET; information about response and side effects will also be collected.
This research study is examining the benefit of a novel radiation planning approach on the likelihood of developing severe esophagitis (irritation and inflammation of the esophagus) during the course of radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy which is associated with very painful and difficult swallowing.
Open-label, multicenter, single arm phase II study, set up in collaboration with the "Réseau d'Expertise Français sur les Cancers ORL Rares" (REFCOR), evaluating the activity and safety of single agent pazopanib in recurrent or metastatic tumors in salivary gland including adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and to exploring the activity and safety of pazopanib in non-adenoid cystic carcinoma (non-ACC).
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of nintedanib when given together with capecitabine and to see how well they work in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Nintedanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also block the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, 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. Giving nintedanib with capecitabine may be a better treatment for colorectal cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, and nab-paclitaxel (paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation) work in treating patients with biliary cancers (which includes the gallbladder and bile ducts inside and outside the liver) that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, cisplatin, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, 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. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of MLN0264 in previously treated Asian patients with Advanced Gastrointestinal (GI) Carcinoma (Phase 1) or Metastatic or Recurrent Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma (Phase 2) Expressing Guanylyl Cyclase C (GCC).
The current pilot study aims at answering the scientific question, whether exfoliated cells from Endometrium Carcinoma (EC) can be detected in the lavage fluid from the uterine cavity and proximal fallopian tubes with the same sensitivity as in specimen from liquid-based cervical cytology. If this turns out to be the case, earlier detection, particularly of type II EC should be possible.
