Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and how well intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and paclitaxel with or without pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with anaplastic thyroid cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy and paclitaxel are more effective when given with pazopanib hydrochloride in treating thyroid cancer.
This randomized Phase III study is to evaluate whether pazopanib compared with placebo can prevent or delay recurrence of kidney cancer in patients with moderately high or high risk of developing recurrence after undergoing kidney cancer surgery.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that cixutumumab given in combination with cisplatin and pemetrexed is superior to cisplatin and pemetrexed as first-line therapy for patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).
The purpose of this open-label, randomized, phase II study is to compare the safety and efficacy of dovitinib versus sorafenib as first-line treatment in adult patients with advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). This trial will be opened in countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
TACE is considered the standard treatment for unresectable HCC on the basis of the fact that there are no alternative to curative procedures.But the optimal combined regimen is still unclear. One of the controversy is do the protocol should contain lipiodo and how to executer. The investigators hypothesize that TACE without mixing the chemotherapy with lipiodol is not unacceptably worse than TACE mixing the chemotherapy with lipiodol.
Rationale: The introduction of angiogenesis inhibitors, like sunitinib and bevacizumab, has improved the outcome of patients with several types of cancer remarkably. However, their application is hampered by side effects, such as development of hypertension with consequences for renal and cardiac function. Moreover patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors may suffer from weight loss, and insulin sensitivity during treatment appears to change. The treatment with angiogenesis inhibitors, will improve life expectancy of patients with various cancer diagnoses and therefore the clinical relevance of both short term and long lasting adverse events will translate into reduced quality of life. In addition, premature withdrawal of angiogenesis inhibitors due to side effects may result in lower response, shorter duration of response and possibly a shorter survival. Therefore, adequate treatment of above mentioned side effects in patients treated with angiogenesis inhibitors is of relevance for the response rate, the duration of progression free survival and overall survival and for quality of life. Mechanistic insight in the pathogenesis of these side effects will help optimizing treatment. Objective: The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sunitinib on endothelial function, insulin sensitivity, renal function and renal blood flow. Study design: Single-centre non randomized observational study Study population: 30 Patients (>18 years old) starting with sunitinib as treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well nintedanib works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back. Nintedanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
This is a randomized Blinded Phase II trial of Maintenance SU011248 Versus Placebo Post Chemotherapy for Patients With Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma.
To assess whether or not a perioperative therapy with surgery can improve the outcomes among patients with potentially curable squamous carcinoma of esophagus as compared to a preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery
This study involves testing of the medicine LTX-315 combined with a cancer vaccine (GV1001). This will be tested in patients that have had surgery with curative intent for malignant tumour. GV1001 is a peptide vaccine in development to treat cancer. An adjuvant, is required to start the immune response in the body to have effect of GV-1001. LTX-315, also a peptide, in development for cancer treatment. In this study, the investigators wish to find out whether LTX-315 can make GV1001 more effective at stimulating the immune system.
