This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well trebananib works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer. Trebananib may stop the growth of endometrial cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multi-center clinical study to evaluate efficacy and safety of a maintenance therapy with the immunomodulator MGN1703 compared to placebo control. The study will be conducted in patients with advanced colorectal carcinoma (AJCC Stage IV) with disease control after first-line standard chemotherapy regimens.
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of cediranib maleate when given together with or without lenalidomide and to see how well they work in treating patients with thyroid cancer. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of thyroid cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether cediranib maleate is more effective when given together with lenalidomide in treating thyroid cancer.
This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label study of MEHD7945A in participants with incurable, locally advanced, or metastatic epithelial malignancies that have progressed despite standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists. The study will be conducted in two stages: a dose escalation stage and an expansion stage. The dose-escalation stage is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of MEHD7945A administered (at five dose levels from 1 to 30 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg]) every 2 week (Q2W). An expansion stage will be initiated after establishment of maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in dose escalation stage. Participants with refractory or recurrent metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and pancreatic cancer will be enrolled in an expansion stage to better characterize the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary assessment of the anti-tumor activity of MEHD7945A.
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for more than 200,000 new cases of cancer and over 100,000 cancer deaths annually in the World (Ferlay, et al., 2004). It is estimated that there were about 15,000 new cases of RCC in the region that excludes the Americas, European Union and Japan. Renal cell carcinomas arise from the proximal tubal epithelium are more common in males than in females with an overall lifetime risk of 1 in 75 and a median age of diagnosis of 65 years. Everolimus (Certican®) has been approved since 2003 in more than 60 countries for the prevention of organ rejection in patients with renal and cardiac transplantation. Everolimus (RAD001) is a derivative of rapamycin, which acts as a signal transduction inhibitor. It targets mTOR, a key protein kinase regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The mTOR pathway activity is modulated by the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B AKT (AKT) pathway, a pathway known to be deregulated in numerous human cancers. RAD001 (Afinitor®) has been investigated as an anticancer agent based on its potential to act: - directly on the tumor cells by inhibiting tumor cell growth and proliferation; - indirectly by inhibiting angiogenesis leading to reduced tumor vascularity (via potent inhibition of tumor cell hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) activity, VEGF production, and VEGF-induced proliferation of endothelial cells). Primary: To evaluate the PFS rate over time. Secondary: - To evaluate the disease control rate (stable disease [SD] + partial response [PR] + complete response [CR]); - To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR; where ORR = CR + PR) and duration; - To describe the safety profile of RAD001.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab when given together with everolimus and octreotide acetate in treating patients with advanced low- or intermediate-grade neuroendocrine cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, may find tumor cells and help carry tumor-killing substances to them. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Octreotide acetate may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of neuroendocrine cancer. Giving cixutumumab together with everolimus and octreotide acetate may be a better treatment for neuroendocrine cancer.
This study investigates the safety and efficacy of the combination therapy with BAY86-9766 and sorafenib in patients with liver cancer. Safety will be determined by laboratory and other evaluations. Efficacy of the combination BAY86-9766 and sorafenib will be determined by disease control rate, overall survival, time to progression, response rate and duration of response.
Open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Sorafenib dose ramp-up (starting at a lower dose and then gradually increasing the dose) versus standard Sorafenib dosing in subjects with unresectable and/or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
