Filter by:The present study is a randomized, control, phase II study of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in Northwest China treated with Gemcitabine plus cisplatin regimen (GP) or Docetaxel plus cisplatin regimen (TP) induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The population consists of stage III-IVb nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The effectiveness, side effects and quality of life will be evaluated according to Standard WHO response criteria, NCI-CTC AE V3.0 and EORTC QLQ-C30 and H&N35 questionnaire.
The aim of the study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) for Japanese hepatocellular carcinoma which are not amenable to curative surgery or loco regional therapy
This phase II trial chose the induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin followed by Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with gemcitabine to optimize the treatment for pancreas cancer patients with locally advanced disease and the purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of induction CT with gemcitabine and cisplatin followed by CRT for unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.
The incorporation of novel targeted therapies to radiation therapy is of particular interest in head and neck cancer and may improve efficacy without significantly increasing toxicity. The investigators hypothesize that the addition of a second EGFR-targeted agent that inhibits EGFR at the intracellular level will improve the antitumor effect of standard radiation and cetuximab. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and the biologic effects in patients with locally advanced SCCHN of an antisense gene targeting the EGFR in combination with standard therapy with radiation and cetuximab.
The primary objective of this trial is to study whether paclitaxel plus 5-fluorouracil has better overall survival than cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil in chemoradiotherapy for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. 436 patients will be recruited into this study.
This study is divided into two parts; Part 1 of the study is a dose escalation phase to select the recommended dose for Part 2 based on the safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles observed after oral administration of GSK525762 in the following subjects: NMC, small cell lung cancer (SCLC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), neuroblastoma (NB), castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), estrogen receptor positive (ER positive) breast cancer, and MYCN driven solid tumor subjects. Part 2 of the study will explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical activity of the recommended dose from Part 1 in cohorts comprised of NMC, small cell lung cancer (SCLC), castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), and estrogen receptor positive (ER positive) breast cancer subjects. Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled in the Part 1 and approximately 150 subjects will be enrolled in Part 2. A sub-study will be opened in Part 1 to approximately 10-12 subjects in the United States to investigate the relative bioavailability of the besylate tablet compared to the amorphous free-base tablet at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dosing (RP2D), the effect of high-fat high-calorie meal on the bioavailability of the besylate tablet at the MTD or RP2D and the dose proportionality of 2 doses of GSK525762 administered as besylate tablet.
This study is a prospective, non-interventional, non-controlled, multi-center, observational cohort study. The medication is prescribed within the regular practice of the physician. Duration and dosage of treatment is solely at the discretion of the attending physician. The primary objective of this study is to assess duration of treatment in Turkish renal cell carcinoma patients treated with TKIs (Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors) who could not tolerate prior cytokine treatment within the first month of treatment.
Treatment is based on radiochemotherapy for locally advanced tumours. The objective of treatment is to provide a cure without resorting to abdominoperineal amputation, while preserving sphincter function. The prognosis is mainly related to tumour size and lymph node invasion. The large majority of patients do not show any spread remote from the tumour at the time of diagnosis (2). Recurrences are mainly of a local/regional nature and require abdominoperineal amputation. This type of intervention is not always possible or complete, which then gives rise to the particularly distressing risk of local progression, with survival at 3 years of approximately 30% (3). It is therefore very important to achieve a complete and permanent tumour response from initial treatment with radiochemotherapy. Furthermore, the use of an anti-EGFR antibody in combination with exclusive radiotherapy in ENT cancer was able to increase recurrence-free survival and overall survival in these patients. These data are in favour of the use of a combination of chemotherapy and anti-EGFR antibodies in epidermoid cancer of the anus.
This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized, multi-center, phase II proof of concept (PoC) study with a two-stage design and Bayesian interim monitoring to evaluate efficacy and safety of single agent TKI258 in adult patients with scirrhous gastric carcinoma (SGC) that have progressed after one or two prior systemic treatments.
This randomized phase II trial studies abiraterone acetate and prednisone together with veliparib to see how well it works compared to abiraterone acetate and prednisone alone in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antiandrogen drugs, such as abiraterone acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving abiraterone acetate together with prednisone and veliparib may work better than abiraterone acetate and prednisone alone in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
