Filter by:This is a Phase 1/2, proof-of-principle clinical study to assess safety and efficacy of a intradermally administered tumor vaccine (MGN1601). The study will be conducted in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, single-institution phase I/II therapeutic trial of bavituximab and sorafenib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study will be activated at the UT Southwestern Medical Center, comprised of The Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, UT Southwestern Hospitals-St. Paul and Parkland Memorial Hospital System. Advanced HCC is defined as disease that is not amenable to surgical resection or orthotopic liver transplantation or is metastatic in nature.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with radiation therapy in treating patients with advanced solid malignancies (abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues) with peritoneal carcinomatosis, epithelial ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving veliparib with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if axitinib can help to control kidney cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
This study will be a Phase I/II, open-label, non-randomized, dose-finding trial conducted at multiple clinical centers. The study is designed to determine the safety, tolerability and PK of TKM-080301 in adult patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that are refractory to standard therapy or for whom there is no standard therapy. After the determination of the maximum tolerated dose this dose will be utilized in an expansion cohort or subjects with refractory neuroendocrine tumors (NET) or adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether narrowband imaging (NBI) makes it easier for a surgeon to see cancer. NBI is a kind of light. Normally, white light is used during surgery. White light uses many wavelengths of light. NBI only uses two wavelengths which highlight the blood vessels. This makes it easier for the surgeon to see blood vessels. Tumors often have more blood vessels than normal tissue. As a result, NBI may make it easier for the surgeon to see small tumors. In this study the surgeon will look with both normal white light and NBI. This way a comparison can be made to determine which is superior. Improved identification of tumors allows doctors and patients to make informed decisions about whether treatment is needed after surgery. It also provides additional information to determine which treatments may be best.
Nodular Basal Cell Carcinomas: Compare the efficacy and safety of conventional versus fractional laser assisted PDT for difficult to treat nodular cell carcinomas in the face. Actinic keratosis: Compare the efficacy and safety of conventional versus fractional laser assisted PDT for moderate to severe actinic keratoses located in the face and on the hands.
TACE is considered the standard treatment for unresectable HCC and is widely used as a palliative treatment. However there is no consensus of the protocol of TACE.One of the variation is does the stability of the suspension by emulsified the lipiodol and the contrast medium used to dissolve the anticancer agents really effect the survival.Thus the investigators conduct this prospective,randomized controlled study to find out if the different method of preparing chemotheraputic drugs can cause a different survival benefit.
Mapatumumab is a fully human, agonist monoclonal antibody that activates the cell death pathway in tumor cells by specifically binding to TRAIL-R1 with high affinity. Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, is the standard of care for treatment of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The mechanisms of sorafenib and mapatumumab action suggest that these agents could interact synergistically. This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mapatumumab in combination with sorafenib in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel plus cisplatin for stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients.
