Filter by:This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of capecitabine (2000 mg/m2/day by mouth [po], day 1 pm-day 15 am every 3 weeks [q3w]), oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 intravenously [iv], day 1 q3w) and bevacizumab (7.5 mg/kg iv, day 1 q3w) in patients with advanced and/or metastatic colorectal cancer.
RATIONALE: AZD2171 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving AZD2171 together with standard combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AZD2171 when given together with standard combination chemotherapy in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose for future studies of ECO-4601 administered as a continuous IV infusion for 14 days with 7 days recovery (21 day cycle) in patients with histologically confirmed solid tumors (high grade glioma, colorectal, lung, breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate). This study was also designed to determine the clinical pharmacokinetic profile, safety of multiple cycles of administration, and document the antitumor activity of ECO-4601.
Single center open-label study of an oral agent (RAD001) in subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to at least 2 standard chemo/biologic regimens.
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, 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 to kill tumor cells. Celecoxib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving celecoxib together with fluorouracil and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving celecoxib together with fluorouracil and radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage II or stage III rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
This protocol will investigate the use of vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid - SAHA) in combination with infusional 5-FU and leucovorin for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer patients who have failed standard 5FU regimens.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Fluorouracil may also make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Leucovorin calcium may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy, and it may help fluorouracil work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with fluorouracil with or without combination therapy works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for stage II or stage III rectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the free time to disease progression of combination therapy with capecitabine, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab until disease progression versus capecitabine, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab for 6 cycles followed by bevacizumab until disease progression or a premature drop out of the study.
RATIONALE: Exercise may help improve mobility and relieve fatigue and/or weakness in cancer survivors. It is not yet known whether exercise is more effective than standard therapy in improving mobility and reducing fatigue and/or weakness in older cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying exercise to see how well it works compared to standard therapy in improving mobility and reducing fatigue and/or weakness in older cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Barium or BariumFerumoxsil is better for fecal tagging in MR colonography. Patients referred to colonoscopy are offered MR colonography before colonoscopy. Two days before colonography, patients ingest either a contrast agent A (200 ml Barium sulphate solution 1g/ml)) four times a day or a 200 ml contrast agent B (Barium sulfate(25%) and Ferumoxil(75%)) four times a day, which will render fecal masses "invisible" on the following MR colonography. The patients are randomised to either contrast agent A or B. The examinations are evaluated by two independent blinded readers, who will rate the tagging quality of the contrast agents. The quality of tagging will be rated by a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Relative contrast (ReCon = Iwall - Ilumen/ Iwall + Ilumen).
