Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of FK228 in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients who have developed progressive disease (PD) following or during treatment with immunotherapy.
The purpose of the study is: Find out if patients receiving sorafenib will live longer. Find out if sorafenib has any effect on patient reported outcomes. Find out if sorafenib prevents the growth of or shrinks liver tumors and/or their metastases. Determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) in patients with liver cancer.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cetuximab when given together with cisplatin and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage IB, stage II, stage III, or stage IVA cervical cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Internal radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Giving cetuximab together with cisplatin and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
This phase II trial is studying how well bortezomib works in treating patients with metastatic thyroid cancer that did not respond to radioactive iodine therapy. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This randomized phase II trial is studying bortezomib and irinotecan to see how well they work compared to bortezomib alone in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with irinotecan may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving bortezomib together with irinotecan is more effective than bortezomib alone in treating head and neck cancer.
The purpose of the study is to determine the dose limiting toxicities and maximum tolerated dose of motexafin gadolinium when administered with docetaxel and cisplatin in patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. A cycle consists of 3 weeks. During week 1, patients receive MGd, docetaxel, and cisplatin treatment followed by 2 weeks without treatment. Eligible patients will receive 1 or 2 doses of MGd, depending on cohort, and a single dose of docetaxel and cisplatin at 75 mg/m² during the first week of each cycle. Additionally, tumor response will be evaluated at the end of even numbered cycles (2, 4, and 6). Patients may stay on the study a maximum of 6 cycles.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if vinflunine can shrink or slow the growth of the cancer or increase survival in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if BAY43-9006 has an effect on the tumors, how long the effect continues, if the patients receiving BAY43-9006 will live longer. - If BAY43-9006 has an effect on the quality of life of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. - If BAY43-9006 helps to slow the worsening of non-small cell lung cancer. - If BAY43-9006 prevents the growth of, or shrinks non-small cell lung tumors and/or their metastases.
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects, best way to give, and best dose of erlotinib and bevacizumab when given with cetuximab and how well giving erlotinib and cetuximab together with or without bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable kidney, colorectal, head and neck, pancreatic, or non-small cell lung cancer. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Cetuximab and bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib together with cetuximab and/or bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of ARQ 501 in combination with docetaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer. In addition, the study is designed to observe the potential the combination of ARQ 501 and docetaxel have in treating cancer.
