Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy delivers fewer, tightly-focused, high doses of radiation therapy to all known sites of cancer in the body while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissue.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if it is possible to get high-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) images of AIS tissue and/or tissue from microinvasive carcinoma right before a biopsy of the cervix. Researchers also want to learn if HRME images can show the difference between cancerous tissue and normal cervical tissue.
HCC patients with tumors >5 cm in diameter, regardless of involvement in the intrahepatic and extrahepatic portal branches participated in the study. Patients were randomized allocated in liver transplantation (LT) only group and LT plus ADV-TK therapy group. All patients received orthotopic liver transplantation; in the LT plus ADV-TK group, ADV-TK therapy was delivered to patients twice.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of heated carboplatin given into the abdomen at the time of surgery in treating patients with stage II-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, 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. Heating oxaliplatin and infusing it directly into the area around the tumor during surgery may kill more tumor cells.
Retrospective study of patients diagnosed with a nasopharyngeal carcinoma included in our data base care between June 1990 and September 2013. Our hypothesis is: Our series of patients with a history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma presents epidemiological, response rates to the different treatments and survival similar to those described in the literature
This study is an open-label, multi-center, phase 1, dose escalation study with a phase 2 expansion cohort to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics and preliminary anti-tumor activity of intravenous TKM-080301 in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study is being done to: - Test the safety and tolerability of TKM-080301 in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma - Find the highest dose of TKM-080301 that can be given without causing side effects, called the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). - Provide a preliminary assessment of anti-tumor activity of TKM-080301
B-mode ultrasonography (B-US), a standard method of surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), has a fair sensitivity of 63% in detecting early stage HCC. Sonazoid, a contrast agent for ultrasonography, has reported to have superior sensitivity in detecting focal liver lesion since it has ability of Kupffer phase imaging as well as vascular phase imaging. So our aim is to compare the detection rate of early stage HCC and false referral rate of HCC between B-mode US and Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography (S-US) within the same prospective data group. Our hypothesis is that S-US has superior detection rate of early stage HCC (5%) than that of B-mode US (3%).
This study to evaluate treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) which has progressed through 2 to 3 prior lines of therapy, with the investigational drug CRLX101 in combination with bevacizumab compared to treatment with a standard of care therapy. The study will compare which treatment resulted in longer time before progression of the RCC. Patients will be treated and followed for progression of their disease on average for up to 6 months.
100 patients with metastatic and/or advanced renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib (Sutent) will be inclued and followed with standard care plus a call center Principal assumption : the proportion of patients presenting with at least one grade 3 or 4 AE (whether related to sunitinib or not).
MEK162 has shown significant inhibition of tumor growth as a single agent in NSCLC xenograft models in mice and human cancer cells in vitro, which have KRAS and/or other mutations. These data suggest that MEK162 may provide a potential benefit in cancer indications harboring these mutations. MEK162 is currently being investigated in phase I clinical testing and has been well tolerated up to an MTD of 45mg BID in cancer patients. There has been little change in survival benefit for patients with non-small cell lung cancer in recent years. Emerging new treatment options relying on molecular and genetic markers are being studied extensively. Thus, there has been a shift to manage non-small cell lung cancer with molecular targeted therapies in combination with standard chemotherapy. This study will be targeting patients with KRAS mutations.
