Filter by:This study is conducted in Japanese newly diagnosed locally advanced SCCHN patients in order to assess tolerability and feasibility of Cetuximab plus concomitant boost radiotherapy (RT) regimen (the study treatment) and its safety profile (i.e. AEs: adverse events). In addition, efficacy (i.e. anti-tumor effect) of the study treatment is also evaluated.
The purpose of the study is to see if sorafenib plus best supportive care (i.e. in addition to the non-cancer treatments patients would normally receive) is an effective treatment for lung cancer compared to best supportive care alone. The safety and tolerability of the two treatment groups will also be compared. The goal of the study is to test the ability of sorafenib to improve survival compared to best supportive care alone.
Bioequivalence study of SPARC147609
This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with malignant salivary gland tumors that have come back after treatment or have spread to other parts of the body. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival of brivanib versus sorafenib in subjects with advanced HCC who have not received prior systemic therapy.
Hepatocellular carcinoma is an aggressive disease with limited therapeutic options. Therefore, new approaches to treat this type of cancer are needed with immunotherapy potentially being one of these. As a first step in the development of novel therapies, expression analysis of specific markers, including tumor antigens will be carried out. This will be done retrospectively using available hepatocellular carcinoma tissue samples.
Patients with liver tumor burden that exceeds Milan criteria are considered to receive one of the following locoregional treatments: transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), percutaneous ethanol injection and proton beam radiation (PBR). The goals of these treatments are to control tumor growth, to downstage tumor size to meet Milan criteria, and to improve survival. Patients who exceed the Milan criteria benefit from tumor downstaging as a result of treatment. Patients who meet Milan criteria benefit from tumor control to bridge them to liver transplantation. TACE is considered the most common locoregional treatment that is used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Proton beam radiotherapy has been used in treating HCC in a few centers across the globe. Phase I and II trials showed a satisfactory safety and efficacy results. Loma Linda University Medical Center is one of these pioneering centers that use proton beam as a treatment for HCC. This is the first randomized trial in the medical field that will compare head-to-head the efficacy of TACE versus proton beam in treating HCC patients.
This study will look at whether our drug (sorafenib) in combination with chemotherapy delivered directly into your tumor using beads (DC Bead) will slow the progression of the disease. The beads used with the chemotherapy will slowly release the chemotherapy reducing the adverse effects that normally occur with chemotherapy.
This phase 2 study is an open-label, multi-center study to determine the safety and tolerability of AMG 386 in combination with sunitinib in the treatment of subjects with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumour activity of alisertib (MLN8237) in the treatment of participants with platinum-refractory or platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinomas.
