Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, carboplatin, and bevacizumab in treating patients with ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer that has returned after previous treatment. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and carboplatin, may stop the growth of tumor cells by, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth by blocking the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumors by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving veliparib together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, carboplatin, and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
Dalantercept, a soluble form of the activin receptor-like kinase-1 protein, is being studied in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). Dalantercept blocks the development of blood vessels that supply tumors.
Hepatectomy is difficult when the tumor is adjacent to the big vessels of the liver and some patients can not receive radical resection. Such patients have high risk of recurrence. Tumor resection and postoperative radiation is an option for such patients to achieve radical treatment and radiation may reduce local recurrence.
This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II study to evaluate the activity of GDC-0980 in patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer. The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GDC-0980 will also be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of patients alive after 12 months of the beginning of the trial in patients with advanced pancreatic carcinoma individually selected and grouped according to the expression in tumor tissue for therapeutic targets.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an EBV-LMP1 targeted DNAzyme is effective in radiosensitization of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in combination with standard radiation therapy.
This study will evaluate the local control rate, cosmetic results, and complication rates of breast brachytherapy delivered using the MammoSite-ML® when used as the sole method of radiation therapy or as a boost technique for patients with stage I-II carcinoma of the breast (< 3 cm), (non-lobular histology) treated with lumpectomy with histologically negative surgical margins by at least 2 mm, negative axillary lymph nodes, and DCIS. Hypotheses: - For selected patients with stage I breast carcinoma and Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS), radiation therapy delivered with brachytherapy alone using the MammoSite-ML® is technically feasible and reproducible with acceptable complication rates. - Cosmetic results after brachytherapy will be similar to that obtained after traditional whole breast external beam radiation therapy. - Local tumor control rate in the breast after brachytherapy will be similar to that of conventional external beam radiation therapy, with less inconvenience and potentially less cost to the patient, given the selection criteria which minimize the risk of clinically significant multicentric or extensive residual carcinoma following lumpectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine: - The efficacy of MRE score as a predictor of HCC recurrence within 2 years after RFA treatment - The efficacy of each indicator (MRE score, non-invasive serum markers) compared to the gold-standard histology score predicting hepatic fibrosis
Current practice guidelines recommend surveillance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in liver cirrhosis patients with ultrasonography (USG) every 6 months. However, with the advancement of cirrhosis, the sensitivity of USG decreases, while the risk for HCC increases. Gadoxetic acid (Primovist®)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been demonstrated to be of clinical value for diagnosis of HCC with the detection sensitivity of 90-95%, which is significantly higher than USG. The hypothesis to be proved by this study is as follows; Primovist-MRI should show significantly higher sensitivity compared to USG for the detection of early stage HCC when both of these imaging modalities are used with the interval of 6 months in patients with cirrhosis at high risk of developing HCC.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GL-ONC1, an attenuated vaccinia virus, is safe when administered to patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis via an infusion within the abdominal cavity through an implanted catheter. The study seeks also to arrive at a recommended dose and schedule for future investigations, evidence of anti-tumor activity, detection of virus in body fluids, analysis of viral delivery to tumor and normal cells, and to evaluate if there is an antibody response to vaccinia virus.
