Filter by:This is an open-label, randomized, Phase II-study to evaluate the efficacy of a standard-TPF induction chemotherapy (IC) and an alternative TPF induction chemotherapy followed by radio-antibody-therapy, in patients with unresectable LA-SCC of the HN region (oro-hypopharynx carcinoma, cancer of the oral cavity). The primary objective of the study is to assess the feasibility of an experimental 'fractionated' TPF regimen compared to a current standard TPF regimen. Composite endpoint of compliance and feasibility in terms of - response (RECIST1.1) and - hematological acute toxicity (CTCAE v.4.02) - on time application of RAT following an experimental or standard TPF IC. Secondary endpoints are - Treatment intensity achieved - Toxicity (according to CTCAE v.4.02) - Response rates after completion of induction chemotherapy and after completion of entire protocol treatment (RECIST1.1) - Survival (progression-free, metastasis-free, recurrence-free, overall) 1 year after randomisation - Quality of life according to EORTC QoL C30 & HN35 The study will be conducted at 5-6 investigational sites in Germany recruiting 90 patients in total. Eligible patients will have a diagnosis of histologically confirmed SSC of the HN. Patients will receive one of 2 different regimens of TPF IC followed by cetuximab together with radiotherapy (RAT) or a standard radiochemotherapy(RCT) regimen.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of AvastinTM (bevacizumab) and Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride) can help to control advanced liver cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
To determine if combined [18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is performant enough with respect to detecting residual lymph node involvement after chemoradiation in order to omit planned neck dissections in patients with locally advanced potentially operable, N2 and N3 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Primary study hypothesis: The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the negative predictive value (NPV) of FDG PET/CT to detect residual malignant lymph node involvement at 12 weeks after completing chemoradiation will exceed 85%.
This phase II trial studies how well pralatrexate and oxaliplatin work in treating patients with esophageal, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body. Pralatrexate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, 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. Giving pralatrexate with oxaliplatin may be an effective treatment for esophageal, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
The primary objective of this trial is to assess the antitumor activity and safety profile of cetuximab when given in combination with cisplatin + 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) for the first-line treatment of recurrent and/or metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Head and Neck (SCCHN) in Asian subjects.
This is a pilot study to evaluate the difference between the protein expression between hepatocellular carcinoma and tumor with vessel invasion in Asian patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
This trial studies how well yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres work in treating patients with hepatocellular carcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Radioactive drugs, such as yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres, may carry radiation directly to cancer cells and not harm normal cells.
This prospective study assesses toxicity and potential efficacy of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interferon (IFN) alpha and interleukin-2 (IL-2) postoperatively in patients with high-risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
This phase II trial studies how well vorinostat works in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well RO4929097 works in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
