Filter by:This study will be the first to test the anti-cancer peptide Nerofe in humans. It will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic behavior, and pharmacodynamic and clinical effects of Nerofe given intravenously every other day to patients with advanced malignant disease.
Background: - Cabozantinib is a drug that slows the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors. It is approved for medullary thyroid cancer. However, studies have shown that prostate and ovarian tumors respond to it. Researchers want see if cabozantinib can be a safe and effective treatment for urothelial cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of cabozantinib for advanced urothelial cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have advanced urothelial cancer that has not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Tumor tissue samples will also be collected. Imaging studies will also be performed. - Participants will take cabozantinib by mouth once per day on each day of a 28-day cycle. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Participants will continue to take the study drug for as long as their cancer does not worsen and side effects are not too severe.
The trial will compare results of screening colonoscopy performed by means of conventional colonoscopy and using new visualisation techniques during endoscopic examination. - Electronic colonoscopes Olympus CF-HQ190F with following options: magnetic positioning (Scope Guide), responsive insertion technology (RIT), dual focus function, narrow band imaging (NBI) will be used for innovative colonoscopies - Electronic colonoscopes Olympus CF-H180DL with Scope Guide and NBI options will be used for conventional colonoscopies Endoscopists will archive all images and establish presumptive diagnosis based on the results of different visualisation techniques. All endoscopes will be attached to Olympus Evis Exera III system. Biopsy of all pathological lesions will be performed to establish final diagnosis. The main outcome measure is diagnostic accuracy of innovative colonoscopy in comparison with conventional technique.
This multi-center, open-label study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of vanucizumab as a single agent or in combination with atezolizumab in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Cohorts of participants will receive escalating doses of vanucizumab, fixed dose of vanucizumab (MTD and/or recommended phase two dose [RP2D]), and fixed dose of vanucizumab in combination with atezolizumab, intravenously every 2 weeks.
This study is comprised of two portions: a Phase 1 portion and a Phase 2 portion. The Phase 1 portion is a single-country, non-randomized, open label, clinical trial which will evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and PK profile of PD-0332991 as a single agent in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors, and PD-0332991 in combination with letrozole in the first-line treatment of Japanese patients with ER(+) HER2(-) ABC. The Phase 2 portion is a single-country, non-randomized, open-label, single-cohort, multi-center clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-0332991 in combination with letrozole for the first-line treatment of postmenopausal Japanese patients with ER(+) HER2(-) ABC.
The folate receptor is over-expressed on many types of cancer cells and new folate receptor targeted therapies are being developed to target cancer cells that over-express the folate receptor. As with other targeted therapies, it is important to develop diagnostic tests that will provide accurate information on folate receptor status and aid in selecting patients that may benefit from folate-targeted therapy.
To evaluate the safety (adverse events and dose-limiting toxicity) of daily oral doses of ZSTK474 in patients with advanced solid malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to compare the concentration of four different metabolites in the tumor, in adjacent mucosa and in plasma in patients with colon cancer receiving two different doses of Modufolin (arfolitixorin) and Levoleucovorin (Isovorin®), respectively (60 and 200 mg/m2).
Background: - Birinapant is an experimental cancer treatment drug. It removes certain proteins in cells, which helps to kill the cells. The drug is more likely to cause the death of cancer cells than normal cells because cancer cells have more of these proteins. Studies suggest that it can help treat ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Researchers want to see how well Birinapant works against the three types of cancer. Objectives: - To test the effectiveness of Birinapant for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years of age who have ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. Tumor tissue samples may be collected before treatment. Imaging studies will also be performed. - Participants will have an infusion of Birinapant once per week for 3 weeks in a row, followed by a break for a week on the fourth week. This 4-week schedule is one cycle of treatment. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Another optional tumor biopsy will be collected 6 weeks after the start of treatment. - Treatment will continue as long as the cancer does not grow and the side effects are not severe.
Open-label, Phase 0, dose-escalation study of 3 successive cohorts (3 subjects per cohort), to determine and characterize the plasma PK of gemcitabine HCl oral formulation (D07001-F4) administered once on Day 1 with 7 Days of study follow-up. In addition, oral tolerability and safety will also be assessed during this 1-week period.
