Filter by:An unmet medical need exists for the successful therapy of patients with advanced hepatocellular and biliary tract malignances, with few and short lived disease responses to chemotherapy for both advanced stage hepatic and biliary carcinomas. Pre-clinical data shows cooperative antitumor activity between an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor and taxanes. The efficacy of erlotinib in combination with docetaxel will be assessed in this trial.
This is an open-label, single-armed, multicentric, phase II study of Sorafenib treatment following surgery for NSCLC. The primary hypothesis is to increase the progression-free survival (PFS) of the experimental group in comparison to a historical control group. For sample size calculation a 2 year PFS of 50% was calculated for the historical control group, and a 2 year PFS of 67% was estimated for the intervention group. These estimates are based on the actual PFS and overall survival (OS) of a defined population of 120 NSCLC patients treated at a single institution with surgery alone or surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, which compares favorably to published international results, and the improvement of PFS achieved by 4 cycles of cisplatin/vinorelbine-based cytotoxic chemotherapy in published randomized trials.
This study assesses the tolerability, safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of RTA 744 in recurrent neoplastic meningitis.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects (good and bad) the combination of the chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine, capecitabine, and bevacizumab has on a patient and kidney cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of Pegylated Alfa Interferon (PEG-Intron), Sunitinib and Tarceva to see if this drug combination delays the disease progression of patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma. The first phase of this study will determine the best dose of Peg-Intron, Sunitinib and Tarceva when given in combination. The safety of giving these drugs in combination and response to treatment will also be examined.
This clinical trial explores the safety, efficacy, and effects on functional imaging of cG250 monoclonal antibody (mAb) administered intravenously weekly in combination with daily oral sunitinib, in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.
Objectives: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of imatinib mesylate in combination with fixed dose paclitaxel in patients with stage IIIC, IV or recurrent uterine papillary serous carcinoma. - To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of imatinib mesylate and paclitaxel in this cohort of patients. - To determine the efficacy of imatinib mesylate and paclitaxel in patients with stage IIIC, IV or recurrent uterine papillary serous carcinoma whose tumor expresses either c-Kit, PDGFR or abl.
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety and toxicity of treatment with SIR-Spheres® in patients with unresectable primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Other purposes of this study include assessment of the effect of treatment on overall survival, the length of time it takes for the disease to worsen, if and how the treatment affects the patient's quality of life, and if and how the cancer responds to the treatment.
This is a Phase 2 clinical trial to collect data on tumor responses produced by folate-hapten conjugate therapy (vaccination with EC90 [KLH-FITC] and GPI-0100 adjuvant followed by treatment with EC17 (folate-FITC) in combination with low-dose cytokines in patients with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma. All patients will undergo imaging with the investigational imaging agent 99mTc-EC20 (FolateScan) during the screening period to confirm eligibility for the treatment portion of the clinical trial.
This research is to test the effectiveness and toxicity of both Ifosfamide and Doxorubicin. It also aims to explore the relationship between EBV DNA and clinical response in patients with advanced naso-pharyngeal cancer which has been previously treated with chemotherapy.
