Filter by:The main objective of the trial is to document the progression free survival (PFS) in advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with NGR-hTNF as single agent. Safety will be established by clinical and laboratory assessment according to NCI-CTC criteria
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy, toxicity, and tolerability of a standard hormonal regimen of Megestrol Acetate (Megace) in the treatment of Atypical Endometrial Hyperplasia or well to moderately differentiated endometrial carcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to see if preoperative administration of Sorafenib reduces the size of the primary kidney tumour in patients with metastatic disease undergoing cytoreductive surgery. The study will also assess the safety of preoperative Sorafenib. The study drug, Sorafenib, will be given to patients preoperatively for 12 weeks. After a 1 week washout period the patient will then have their nephrectomy (kidney removed). Approximately 6 weeks following their nephrectomy, patients will resume on study drug until disease progression.
Combined the chemoembolization and Radiofrequency ablation for the hepatocellular carcinoma greater than 3 cm,the ablation volume of coagulation necrosis can be significantly increased,which may be enable effective treatment of patients with HCC greater than 3 cm.
This is a randomized Phase I/II study designed to assess the induction of an anti-tumor immune response; the effect of cyclophosphamide on the vaccine; and to assess safety in subjects with advanced ovarian cancer or primary serous peritoneal cancer given a multivalent DC vaccine, with or without a single dose of cyclophosphamide. Potential benefit may range from no direct benefit to the study participants to stimulation of the subject's own immune system to attack ovarian cancer to prevent relapse.
This phase II trial studies how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility to combine sorafenib with transarterial chemoembolisation in patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma.The hypothesis is that sorafenib may prevent the development and growth of tumoral lesions not treated by chemoembolisation.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine, paclitaxel, and doxorubicin together with pegfilgrastim works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable bladder cancer or urinary tract cancer and kidney dysfunction. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, paclitaxel, and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving combination chemotherapy together with pegfilgrastim may kill more tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs may have different effects in patients who have changes in their kidney function.
This is the early access programme (EAP) of sorafenib in the indication of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in patients with advanced RCC.
In this research study we are looking to see how vulvar cancer responds to erlotinib therapy. Two distinct patient populations are targeted: women with locally advanced measurable squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva, primary or recurrent, who are candidates for definitive treatment with surgery or chemoradiation (Cohort 1) and women with radiographically measurable distant metastatic cancer either at time of presentation or with recurrence (Cohort 2). Another goal of this study is to learn more about the proteins and genes present in vulvar cancer and how they may affect response to erlotinib. Erlotinib treats cancer by preventing cancer cells from growing and multiplying. It does this by blocking certain proteins that are on the surface of some types of cancer cells. Laboratory tests show that vulvar cancer cells have high levels of these proteins.
