Filter by:This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab when given together with sorafenib tosylate in treating patients with advanced liver cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cixutumumab together with sorafenib tosylate may kill more tumor cells.
CP-675,206 (tremelimumab) is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to activated T lymphocytes and by enhancing their activation may produce a stimulation of the immune response against tumoral or viral antigens. In this clinical trial, the ability of tremelimumab to produce tumor responses among hepatitis C virus-infected patients with hepatocellular carcinoma not amenable to other therapies will be explored. Besides, the effect on the replication of the virus will be analysed.
This randomized phase III trial studies chemoembolization and sorafenib tosylate to see how well they work compared with chemoembolization alone in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, mitomycin, and cisplatin, 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. Chemoembolization kills tumor cells by carrying drugs directly into blood vessels near the tumor and then blocking the blood flow to allow a higher concentration of the drug to reach the tumor for a longer period of time. Kinase inhibitors, such as sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. It is not yet known whether giving chemoembolization together with sorafenib tosylate is more effective than chemoembolization alone in treating patients with liver cancer.
The study aim is to determine maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of BIBF 1120 in HCC (hepatocellular cancer) and compare efficacy of BIBF 1120 to Sorafenib in HCC patients
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BAY73-4506 treatment is safe and can shrink or delay the growth of tumors in patients with unresectable liver cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin work in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
The main purpose of the study is to establish a safe dose of AZD8055 in patients with mild or moderate liver disease by providing information on any potential side effects this drug may cause and collecting data about how hepatocellular carcinoma responds to the drug.
The purpose of this Phase 2 study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of REOLYSIN therapeutic reovirus in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is effective and safe in the treatment of squamous cell carinoma of the lung.
SPECT was performed in 51 patients after cytoreductive surgery in combination with intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The detected volume was compared to the number of subsequent sequential postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy courses that could be performed without further surgical intervention. SPECT data was found to predict feasibility of sequential postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Some cases of endometrial cancer are dependent on estrogen for their growth. Letrozole blocks estrogen production in the body. The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigators can predict which patients might benefit from Letrozole treatment by studying the many different forms of the estrogen receptor molecule that exist within the cancer tissues. To participate in this study, the patients must be 40 years of age or older and have biopsy-proven endometrial carcinoma, either well differentiated or moderately differentiated forms. Also, to be eligible to participate in this study, the patients need to be healthy enough to have a hysterectomy. If the patients are less than age 60, they will need a blood test (FSH) to confirm that they have gone into menopause.
