Filter by:This study proposes to treat patients with the combination of sorafenib and irinotecan. Patients with relapsed, recurrent, refractory, or high risk malignancies whose tumors possess a non-synonymous mutation in Raf, PDGFR, VEGFR, Flt-3, KIT, JAK, STAT, RAS, MEK, or ERK will be eligible for the study. Very few phase 2 clinical trials have been performed in pediatrics using targeted agents in combination with conventional chemotherapy agents. Furthermore, since some combinations such as the combination of this study (sorafenib and irinotecan) have shown additive/synergistic effects in preclinical studies, therapy selecting for those patients who possess mutations targeted by the TKI of the study, may unveil activity that has not been previously observed. Thus, the investigators hope to determine whether the addition of additive/synergistic chemotherapy will increase efficacy of the targeted agent and/or increase tumor susceptibility to the targeted agent, resulting in increased anti-tumor activity.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if fludarabine, cytarabine (ARA-C), and erwinase (also known as asparaginase [erwinia]) in combination can help to control relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. The safety of these drugs will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Tumor Associated Peptide Antigen (TAPA) pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccines in the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Tumor Associated Peptide Antigens (TAPA) pulsed dendritic cell injections as a potential consolidation therapy for patients with metastatic solid malignancies (SM). The investigators hypothesize that treatment of patients with metastatic SM who demonstrate a tumor response, or whose disease remains stable, after conventional first-line systemic therapy AND who lack an available, potentially curative therapeutic intervention and whose tumor cells and/or blood express at least one (1) TAPA of a defined panel of TAPAs will result in TAPA-specific T-cell responses without significant toxicities. The investigators also hypothesize CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses generated against specific TAPAs may translate into clinical antitumor activity.
This study is a single arm, pilot study of Sorafenib in patient with BRAF mutation Refractory solid tumor and specific sensitivity to Sorafenib by Avatar scan that has progressed following standard therapy or that has not responded to standard therapy or for which there is no standard therapy. To investigate the efficacy and safety of Sorafenib in patient with Refractory solid tumor.
This study proposes to treat patients with the combination of erlotinib and temozolomide. Patients with relapsed, recurrent, refractory, or high risk malignancies whose tumors possess a non-synonymous mutation in EGFR, ERBB2, or JAK2V617F (JAK2) will be eligible for the study. Very few phase 2 clinical trials have been performed in pediatrics using targeted agents in combination with conventional chemotherapy agents. Furthermore, since some combinations such as the combination of this study (erlotinib and temozolomide) have shown additive/synergistic effects in preclinical studies, therapy selecting for those patients who possess mutations targeted by the TKI of the study, may unveil activity that has not been previously observed. Thus, the investigators hope to determine whether the addition of additive/synergistic chemotherapy will increase efficacy of target agent and/or increase tumor susceptibility to targeted agent resulting in increased anti-tumor activity.
The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to the standard chemotherapy drug taxane, will improve the results of the treatment for early- stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer followed by Standard- of- Care surgery
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib and heat shock protein (HSP)90 inhibitor AT13387 when given together in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or hormone negative breast cancer that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Talazoparib and HSp90 inhibitor AT13387 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes that are need for cell growth. HSp90 inhibitor AT1338 may also help talazoparib work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well the "JeffQuit" group therapy program works in enabling patients with a history of cancer to quit smoking. The JeffQuit program uses group therapy to provide psychological support and address the mental need for smoking, the habit or routine it creates, and the physical need for nicotine. It is not yet known how well the JeffQuit program will work in helping patients with a history of cancer to stop smoking.
The primary objective of study CA601.2 is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ABI-011 when administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15, followed by a week of rest, in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies or lymphomas. The MTD will be determined using a standard 3+3 design. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and toxicity profile, to evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK), to assess the biological activity and pharmacodynamics, and to make a preliminary assessment of tumor response in patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphomas. The exploratory objectives are to determine the genomic and proteomic profile of patients' tumors to identify gene mutations, gene amplifications, levels of protein expression, and pinpoint oncoproteins. Correlations between genomic/proteomic profiles and efficacy outcomes will be assessed and principal metabolites of ABI-011 will be determined, if possible. Approximately 45-60 patients will be treated to determine dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), the MTD, and/or RP2D of ABI-011. Once the RP2D is identified, expansion of this cohort (up to 10 patients) will occur.
