Filter by:Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) + sorafenib therapy has been demonstrated to exert a beneficial effective on time-to-tumor-progression (TTP) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in some studies. However, the beneficial effect varies among studies conducted in different areas of the world. The objectives of this study are (1) to understand whether GALNT14 TT genotype patients respond better than do GALNT14 non-TT genotype patients when treated by TACE; and (2) to understand whether GALNT14 non-TT genotype patients can benefit from TACE plus sorafenib (Nexavar) combination therapy. Patients enrolled will be stratified by GALNT14 genotyping. The GALNT14 "non-TT" patients were then randomized into two subgroups to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of TACE plus sorafenib therapy. The primary endpoint of this study is the efficacy of TACE with or without sorafenib combination therapy evaluated by complete remission (CR). The secondary endpoints are: 1. Time to partial or complete response (PR + CR). 2. Time-to-tumor-progression (TTP) and the progression free survival (PFS). 3. Overall survival (OS). 4. Safety and tolerability of TACE plus sorafenib therapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with stage IV EGFR mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Sapanisertib and osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well cediranib maleate and olaparib work when given together or separately, and compares them to standard chemotherapy in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned (recurrent) after receiving chemotherapy with drugs that contain platinum (platinum-resistant) or continued to grow while being treated with platinum-based chemotherapy drugs (platinum-refractory). Cediranib maleate and olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving cediranib maleate and olaparib together may cause more damage to cancer cells when compared to either drug alone or standard chemotherapy.
The primary objective is to determine the early diagnosis rate and mortality rate of the Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) in the study population. The secondary objective is to determine the incidence of NPC in the study population.
This multicentre, open-label, Phase 1b/2 study is designed as a 2 part study consisting of a dose-escalation, safety run-in Part A and a dose-expansion Part B
This phase II trial studies cediranib maleate in combination with olaparib in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced/metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Cediranib maleate and olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate may also block the flow of oxygen to the tumor, and may help make the tumor more sensitive to olaparib.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well nivolumab works with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has not responded after prior treatment (persistent) or has come back (recurrent). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This phase I trial studies the safety, side effects and best dose of necitumumab when given together with osimertinib in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and who have progressed on a previous EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as necitumumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving necitumumab with osimertinib may be safe, tolerable in treating patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best doses of cabozantinib s-malate and nivolumab with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with genitourinary (genital and urinary organ) tumors that have spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Cabozantinib s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving cabozantinib s-malate and nivolumab alone or with ipilimumab works better in treating patients with genitourinary tumors.
Experience with substituting carboplatin for cisplatin is limited in advanced and recurrent cervix cancer and there has been no counterpart to GOG 158, which documented therapeutic equivalency of cisplatin/paclitaxel and carboplatin/paclitaxel for treatment of ovarian cancer, performed in a cervix cancer population.
