Filter by:This is a Phase II, open label, non-randomized study in subjects with histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced KRAS wild type adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum, who have not received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ThermoDox when used in combination with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of primary and metastatic tumors of the liver.
The purpose of the study is to assess the overall survival and progression free survival of patients treated with Litx™ + chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of Colorectal Cancer with recurrent liver metastases, and to demonstrate the safety of Litx™ therapy. Litx™ consists of a light-activated drug, talaporfin sodium (LS11, Light Sciences Oncology, Bellevue, Washington), and a light generating device, composed of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), that is energized by a power controller and percutaneously placed in the target tumor tissue inside the body.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cetuximab together with combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving cetuximab together with leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and fluorouracil works with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with resectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.
This type of study is called a "Phase I study". Its purpose is to determine the side effects of the two medicines listed in this study when given together with whole brain radiation, and the highest dose of valproic acid that can be given together with temozolomide and whole brain radiation. We will also study the drug combination's effectiveness in treating cancer. While both of these drugs and whole brain radiation have been used in people for many years, they have never been combined for the purpose of treating patients with cancer.
RATIONALE: Nelfinavir may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of nelfinavir in treating patients with metastatic, refractory, or recurrent solid tumors.
The primary objective of the study is to Evaluate the response rate of Gemcitabine with TS-1 in Korean patient with advanced but inoperable, metastatic or recurrent pancreatic cancer who is not receiving anti cancer therapy.
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as tumor necrosis factor, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Studying tumor necrosis factor in samples of tumor tissue and healthy tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how tumor necrosis factor works in tumor tissue and healthy tissue. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying tumor necrosis factor in patients undergoing surgery for primary cancer or metastatic cancer .
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. 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. Giving radiation therapy in different ways and giving it together with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving internal radiation therapy and external radiation therapy together with fluorouracil works in treating patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent pancreatic cancer and liver metastases that cannot be removed by surgery.
This study is designed to monitor the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with zoledronic acid by assessing the incidence of, renal impairment, osteonecrosis of the jaw(ONJ), overall safety and skeletal related events (SREs) beyond 12 months treatment
