Filter by:In this phase II trial, we will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the oxaliplatin/capecitabine combination in patients who have had one previous chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of carcinoma of unknown primary site. Patients who are relapsed after a previous response to treatment will be eligible, as well as those who were refractory to first-line therapy.
In this randomized trial, we will investigate the activity and toxicity of two active regimens, gemcitabine/irinotecan and paclitaxel/carboplatin/Etoposide (both followed by ZD1839) in the first-line treatment of patients with carcinoma of unknown primary site.
carboplatin and etoposide, followed by maintenance therapy with weekly paclitaxel in patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. We hope to identify a "standard treatment" for this unusual group of patients who are not usually eligible for clinical trials.
This phase I/II trial will evaluate the bevacizumab/erlotinib combination with the addition of imatinib (Gleevec). The combined inhibition greatly enhances the anti-tumor effects. Although the safety of the bevacizumab/erlotinib/imatinib combination has not yet been demonstrated, the mild to moderate side effects of all of these agents are not predicted to cause prohibitive toxicity. A brief phase I portion will be included in this trial, to optimize doses of the 3 agents prior to proceeding with the phase II trial.
Open label single arm phase II study of Pemetrexed plus Oxaliplatin in patients with advanced gastric carcinoma not previously treated with palliative chemotherapy. 43 Patients will be enrolled in this local trial. The primary objective of this study is to determine the response rate of the treatment.Schedule for this study is as follows: 6 cycles/21 days of Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 followed by Oxaliplatin 120 mg/m2. This study will also include pharmacogenomic and pharmacogenetic investigations in order to assess determinants of efficacy and toxicity of the treatment with Pemetrexed and Oxaliplatin in the study population.
To investigate efficacy and safety of 2nd line GEM monotherapy after CDDP regimen for patients with transitional cell carcinoma of urothelium
The main purpose of this study of pemetrexed combined with cisplatin used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy (2 or 3 cycles) in participants with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is to look at various genes present in participants' blood and tumor tissue to see if there is any link between the levels or changes in the genes and how participants with lung cancer respond to pemetrexed and cisplatin treatment.
An open-label study to evaluate the safety and the ability of Imiquimod 5% cream, applied topically, to clear superficial basal cell carcinoma and to keep it clear for 5 years of follow-up.
BCC is the most common form of skin cancer. Current treatment is often surgery but this can be limited by the number of lesions, their location the age of the patient or the potential cosmetic outcome. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of imiquimod, on a non surgical treatment, in subjects with multiple of large sBCCs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term sustained clearance rate of superficial basal cell carcinoma during a 5 year period following treatment with imiquimod
