Filter by:The purpose of the study is to investigate the response rate for triple negative breast cancer patients with brain metastasis when INIPARIB is used in combination with irinotecan. Based on data generated by BiPar/Sanofi, it is concluded that iniparib does not possess characteristics typical of the PARP inhibitor class. The exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated, however based on experiments on tumor cells performed in the laboratory, iniparib is a novel investigational anti-cancer agent that induces gamma-H2AX (a marker of DNA damage) in tumor cell lines, induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in tumor cell lines, and potentiates the cell cycle effects of DNA damaging modalities in tumor cell lines. Investigations into potential targets of iniparib and its metabolites are ongoing.
This expanded access study will assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous Avastin (5 mg/kg every 2 weeks or 7.5 mg/kg every 3 weeks) in combination with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy as first line treatment of patients with metastatic cancer of the colon or rectum. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months.
Patients in good general condition with resectable brain metastases, looks better with more intense treatment of metastases. This local treatment has been accomplished with surgery or radiosurgery. However, there are no randomized studies comparing these two types of treatment. The purpose of this study is to make this.
Patients with single brain metastasis without other metastatic site have a better prognosis, and they need a better brain metastasis control. For non-resectable and non-radiosurgical brain metastasis, the gold standard treatment is whole-brain irradiation with 30 Gy in 10 fractions, but the local control is not achieved in most of the cases. This study investigate the possibility to increase radiation dose in this metastasis with exclusive hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of ascending single and multiple oral doses of LEO 27847 in secondary hyperparathyroidism patients.
The aim of this research is to evaluate the potential interest of an association of Pazopanib, a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and cisplatin. As cisplatin has marketing approval for several cancers (ovarian, testicle, bladder, esophagus, endometrium, lung, stomach, head and neck cancer (HNC)), and in order to have a rapid evaluation of this combination, we will evaluate the combination in any patient whose tumors is known to be sensible to cisplatin (except tumors at risk of bleeding). This study is a classical phase 1 trial of pazopanib and 3-weekly cisplatin association. It will allow for optimal dose selection and pharmacokinetic analysis. It is planed to include around 38 patients, enriching the optimal tolerated regimen (OTR) level only with a cohort of triple negative breast cancer patients. If the association is proven to be feasible, we will then move to a specific phase II study in triple negative breast cancer patients.
Patients that have had staging studies identifying them as AJCC stage IV with up to five liver metastases will be considered for the study. About 60 patients will take part in this study at UT southwestern, Parkland Health & Hospital System, and Methodist Richardson Cancer Center. There are four dose cohorts for this study and each cohort will enroll a minimum of 7 to a maximum of 15 patients depending on tolerance of therapy. The treatment period will last for approximately 1 day and the follow-up portion of the study will last 5 years.
RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.
Selenium, in the form of inorganic Sodium Selenite, may be useful for treating existing prostate cancer. This idea is based on data from our laboratory showing that 1) prostate cancer cells are more sensitive to Selenium (Sodium Selenite)-induced apoptosis than normal prostate epithelial cells, 2) Selenite induces significant growth inhibition of well established prostate cancer tumors in mice at doses that have no detectable toxicity, and 3) Selenite disrupts AR signaling, and that the inhibition of AR expression and activity by Selenite occurs via a redox mechanism involving GSH, superoxide, and Sp1. Altogether, these findings suggest that Selenium may be useful in a variety of potential indications in the natural history of prostate cancer, including both hormone sensitive and castrate resistant prostate cancer, as a single agent, or in combination with radiation, chemotherapy or conventional hormone therapy. Selenite is a potential novel inhibitor of AR expression and function in prostate cancer.
To evaluate whether a combination regimen of pentoxifylline, ursodeoxycholic acid and enoxaparin provides a protective effect on the liver parenchyma after high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy.
