Filter by:Malignant cells frequently produce many tumor growth factors to autocidal or endocrinal proliferate growth, metastasis,or angiogenesis about tumor cells. By studying tumor growth factors in hepatocellular carcinoma, one may know the tumor behavior, its relationship with clinical manifestation or invasion, and could be used as diagnostic or prognostic tools.This study aims to study the relationship between tumor growth factors in HCC ant its clinical relevance.
This study aims to compare the role of peginterferon α-2b (50 μg/week) vs. control (no treatment) in the prevention of hepatocellular carcinoma, in adult patients with cirrhosis and initial signs of portal hypertension who did not respond to previous combined therapy with interferon alfa + ribavirin or peginterferon alfa + ribavirin or to interferon alfa monotherapy and with a high proliferation rate before entering the study. The duration of treatment will be 3 years, and the follow-up period will be 2 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of XL147 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in adults with solid tumors. XL147 is a new chemical entity that inhibits PI3 Kinase. Inactivation of PI3K has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells. In clinical practice, the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin is an accepted treatment regimen for various solid tumors, including ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Study 20080008 was a PK sub-study to study 20050251[Japan 20050251A]. This PK protocol was amended 20-March-2009 and is now a Phase 2 stand alone study. There are no sites participating in the U.S. This study is designed to estimate the effect of panitumumab on the PK of cisplatin and 5-FU in subjects receiving cisplatin and 5-FU with or without panitumumab. To maximize any potential effect of panitumumab on the PK of cisplatin and 5-FU, the collection of PK samples of cisplatin and 5-FU will be taken during cycle 2 of the study, the point at which the PK of panitumumab is expected to be at steady-state after a dose of 9 mg/kg given every 3 weeks.
The primary objective of the trial is to determine the efficacy of VANDETANIB monotherapy or VANDETANIB plus GEMCITABINE or PLACEBO plus GEMCITABINE in prolonging the progression-free survival (PFS) at the trial closure in patients with advanced (unresectable or metastatic) biliary tract cancer.
This is a two-part study to test the safety, tolerability, and immune response for V934/V935 vaccine using a new prime-boost regimen in participants with selected solid tumors.
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 carcinoma of the head and neck.
This clinical trial will compare the efficacy and safety of the combination of AMG 386 and FOLFIRI with FOLFIRI alone in second line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well erlotinib hydrochloride works in Treating participants with muscle invasive urothelial cancer or urothelial cancer that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as erlotinib hydrochloride, 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.
The purpose of this study is to assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool to track tumor growth for renal cell carcinoma while the participant is receiving clinical treatment therapy with sunitinib or pazopanib. An MRI is a sophisticated type of scan that uses powerful magnets to make clearer images or to focus on detailed medical information in the participants abdomen and pelvis. This imaging done for this study will use the ASL MRI technique that allows us to see blood flow changes which possibly may indicated tumor growth.
