Filter by:This randomized pilot clinical trial studies dexamethasone in reducing oral pain and dry mouth after surgery in patients with oropharyngeal cancer. Dexamethasone may help lower pain and dry mouth caused by surgery.
This was an exploratory proof of concept study to determine the clinical activity of tasquinimod in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and gastric carcinoma who had progressed after standard therapies.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of auranofin when given together with sirolimus and to see how well it works in treating patients with lung cancer that has spread or other places in the body and cannot be cured or controlled by treatment or has come back after a period of time during which the cancer could not be detected. Auranofin and sirolimus may stop or slow the growth of lung cancer.
This is a phase 1 study of the drug dacomitinib with radiotherapy, with or without chemotherapy, in patients with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Dacomitinib is an oral drug, which is found to be active in SCCHN patients, blocks a receptor called the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). By blocking signals for cancer cells to grow, it is believed to stop or slow the growth of tumor cells. The dose escalation phase will find the best dose as well as determine the safety of dacomitinib when given with radiotherapy and with or without chemotherapy.The dose expansion phase will further test the best dose determined in the dose escalation phase for response rate.
This is a Phase II pilot study to explore the effect of intravesical TMX-101 in patients with CIS bladder cancer, as assessed by histology and cytology after TMX-101 treatment.
Sequential therapy with BEvacizumab, RAd001 (everolimus) and Tyrosinekinase inhibitors (TKI) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC)
The aim of this study is to optimize pretargeting parameters using pharmacokinetic and imaging data for immuno-PET using anti-CEA x anti-HSG TF2 BsMAb and 150 MBq of 68Ga-IMP-288 peptide in MTC patients with abnormal Ct serum level after initial complete surgery and at least one abnormal lesion
Main objective: To determine the optimal molar doses of the biospecific antibody TF2 and 68 Ga-IMP-288 and the optimal time for pretargeting for immuno-PET in patients with breast carcinoma. Secondary objectives: To study the sensitivity of the immuno-PET, compare its performance to standard imaging methods, evaluate the safety of 150 MBq of 68 Ga-IMP-288; study the development of immunization against TF2 or complex TF2-IMP-288;
This prospective, single arm, multi-center pilot study includes 120 mRCC patients over 65 years, no prior systemic treatment, determined to be candidates for systemic therapy by the investigator. The treatment with Sorafenib should comply with the recommendations written in the local product information. The primary endpoint is overall survival. The secondary endpoints including other effectiveness points, safety and patients characteristics. With 120 completed patients, if the observed survival rate at 12 months is 60%, the width of a 95% confidence interval will be approximately 18%.
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a very rare disease and prognosis depends primarily on regional lymph-node involvement. Despite the fact that cure can be obtained in patients with low metastatic load (pN1) by monotherapy, combination therapy is required for more advanced cases. Medical treatment options only for advanced or metastatic penile SCC are not very effective so far and the few chances for cure are solely dependent on multimodality treatment, either with surgery or radiation. Based on the observation that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is almost invariably expressed in penile SCC and assuming similarities to the SCC of head and neck district, anti-EGFR targeted monotherapy has been investigated with promising early results at Istituto Tumori Milan and University of Texas MD Andreson Cancer Center. These premises lend support to the use of the pan-HER inhibitor dacomitinib for advanced or metastatic penile SCC.
