Filter by:This pilot study seeks to evaluate the feasibility of measuring the proximal effects of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on the expression of potential therapeutic target molecules in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). Specifically, this study proposes to evaluate the extent to which CRT induces the differential expression of components along two critical, and potentially interdependent, molecular pathways: the arachidonic acid and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways.
We aim to determine if Molecular Breast Imaging (a new nuclear medicine technique developed at Mayo) can identify malignant breast lesions in women who have atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, or lobular carcinoma in situ.
The purpose of this study is to use Sorafenib + 5-FU to evaluate activity, efficacy, safety, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The TORAVA trial is designed to evaluate the progression-free rate at 48 weeks of a combination of Torisel® and Avastin® given at first-line treatment in patients with metastatic renal cancer. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned, in a 2:1:1 ratio, to either Avastin® + Torisel®, or Sutent® or IFN+Avastin®.
Sorafenib is a new drug, which is approved under the brand name Nexavar for the treatment of advanced kidney cancer. It is also currently being tested in various other cancers. Sorafenib works by stopping the development of new cancer cells and new blood vessels. By stopping the growth of new blood vessels around a tumor, it is believed that sorafenib prevents the growth of kidney cancer tumors. This is an "open-label" study which means that the patient, the doctor and Bayer Healthcare will know what tablets the patient is taking. All patients in this study will receive sorafenib tablets. Sorafenib is taken orally as a tablet (two tablets are taken twice a day). Treatment with sorafenib will continue until the patient's tumor grows larger or spreads further or if the patient has intolerable side effects. The dose of sorafenib that the patient will receive in the study will increase at certain points during the patient's treatment, as long as the patient is not experiencing side effects and the patient's tumor has not grown.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ThermoDox, a thermally sensitive liposomal doxorubicin, is effective in the treatment of non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma when used in conjunction with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
The purpose of this study is to determine if IMC-A12 alone or in combination with Cetuximab (Erbitux®) can increase the time prior to disease progression in participants with Squamous Cell Head and Neck Cancer who have had disease progression and platinum-containing chemotherapeutic regimen.
This phase 1/2a trial is conducted in Europe. The first part of the trial is a dose escalation safety trial determining the maximum tolerated dose of rIL-21 when administered in combination with sunitinib. The second part, scheduled to start in September 2008, is a randomised 2-arm trial comparing the anti-tumour effect of rIL-21 plus sunitinib with sunitinib alone.
This study is designed to evaluate the possible benefits and side effects of the use of proton therapy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
This is a 2-part, open-label, single-arm, dose escalation study. Part I will define the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and optimal dose of SPI-1620 and evaluate its PK and PD properties. Once the MTD for SPI-1620 is identified, a second phase of the study will focus on dose escalation of docetaxel studied in groups of 3-6 patients. This part of the study will assess the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of docetaxel administered with the optimal dose of SPI 1620 defined in Part I.
