Filter by:An open label, dose-escalation study to evaluate safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of CPI-613 given twice weekly for three consecutive weeks in cancer patients The objectives of this study are: - To determine the safety and MTD of CPI-613 when administered 2x weekly for 3 consecutive weeks. - To determine pharmacokinetics of CPI-613 following intravenous (IV) administration. - To observe the anti-tumor effects of CPI-613, if any occur.
RATIONALE: Learning about quality of life in patients with cancer undergoing embolization may help doctors learn about the side effects of treatment and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying quality of life in patients undergoing embolization using yttrium Y 90 glass microspheres for primary or metastatic liver cancer.
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Erlotinib may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving erlotinib together with stereotactic radiosurgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects of erlotinib when given together with stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well it works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases.
PX-12 (1-methylpropyl 2-imidazolyl disulfide) is a novel small molecule inhibitor of thioredoxin-1, a small protein over-expressed in many human cancers that is associated with aggressive tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, and drug resistance. This study is being conducted to determine the maximally tolerated dose of PX-12 delivered as a 72-hour infusion over days 1, 2, and 3 of a 21-day cycle in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
This pilot study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of chemo-radiotherapy comprising a regimen of FOLFOX6 chemotherapy plus SIR-Spheres yttrium-90 microspheres (chemo-radiotherapy, also known as "chemo-SIRT"), in combination with the biologic therapy Bevacizumab (Avastin), for the first-line treatment of patients with liver metastases from colorectal carcinoma in whom surgical resection is not feasible.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as optical coherence tomography, may help find and diagnose lung cancer or precancerous cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well optical coherence tomography of the airway works in detecting abnormal cells in patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer or lung disease.
This study will evaluate PTK787, a new oral drug that stops blood vessel development, in combination with Paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Infusing doxorubicin beads into the liver, and blocking blood flow to the tumor, may keep doxorubicin near the tumor and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects of doxorubicin beads and to see how well they work in treating patients with unresectable liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors.
This study will explore the combination of the oral drug PF-00299804 and intravenous CP-751,871 in patients with advanced solid tumor. Each of these drugs have been given separately to patients in prior studies, and this study is to establish the safety and efficacy of the combination.
This study is a randomized multi-center trial that will assess the effect of adding Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT), using SIR-Spheres microspheres®, to a standard chemotherapy regimen of FOLFOX as first line therapy in patients with non-resectable liver metastases from primary colorectal adenocarcinoma. Treatment with the biologic agent bevacizumab, if part of the standard of care at participating institutions, is allowed within this study at the discretion of the treating Investigator.
