Background: - A protein called HIF is believed to be involved both in forming cancers and helping them to grow after they are formed. EZN-2968 is a new type of cancer drug that goes into the cancer cell and switches off the production of the HIF protein. Researchers are interested in testing EZN-2968 in people who have liver cancer because studies have shown that this drug travels to the liver and stays there when the drug is given through a vein. Objectives: - To determine the safety and effectiveness of EZN-2968 on liver cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with liver cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will have an initial screening visit with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, and imaging studies to assess tumor size. Tumor biopsies may also be taken for research purposes. - Participants will have an undefined number of 6-week treatment cycles of EZN-2968, given once a week for 3 weeks followed by 3 weeks without the drug. - During each cycle, participants will have additional blood tests and imaging scans to assess tumor response to treatment. - Cycles of treatment with EZN-2968 may continue until the treatment is not effective, illness requires participants to stop taking the study drug, or the participant chooses to withdraw from the study.
This research is being done to find out how safe and how well the combination of lapatinib and vorinostat works against advanced cancers.
This study is to confirm the safety and technical of MRI guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for Palliation for Pain of Skeletal Metastases. MRI guided high intensity focused ultrasound uses ultrasound to heat and thermally ablate tissue. The MRI system identifies the ultrasound path and monitors heat rise in the tissue. The goal of the study is to show treatment safety and effectiveness. MR-guided HIFU will be performed in patients who pass inclusion/exclusion criteria.
Study I3G-MC-JGCB (JGCB) is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1b study of LY2584702 in combination with either erlotinib or everolimus.
Study JWAA is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, dose-escalation Phase 1 study of oral LY2780301 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This study was performed to determine whether calcitriol provides a therapeutic advantage to alfacalcidol for treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in ESRD patients.
This phase I study proposes the use of systemic thiosulfate rescue to allow supradose intra-arterial cisplatin delivery to lung tumors. Eligible patients would be those with at least one lung lesion large enough of characterize angiographically. All patients will first undergo a CT arteriogram of the target tumor. Patients will then receive 2 treatments on 2 consecutive weeks. The primary endpoint will be toxicity, with secondary endpoint of response as measured on week 4. This pilot study will also determine how technically feasible it is to locate the blood supply to these tumors and deliver cisplatin. If the first 6 patients do well, 6 additional patients will be accrued for a total of 12.
The main purpose of this study is to establish a recommended dose of Alpharadin to be used in combination with docetaxel in patients with bone metastases from castration-resistant prostate cancer and to investigate safety and explore efficacy of the recommended dose.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, may help measure a patient's response to treatment with drugs such as sunitinib malate, sorafenib tosylate, or bevacizumab, and allow doctors to plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying ultrasonography in assessing antiangiogenic treatment in patients with advanced kidney cancer.
