Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and interferon, which is able to stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells, will help to increase tumor shrinkage in previously-treated metastatic gastrointestinal, kidney, or lung Cancer.
Primary Objective: In the dose escalation: to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SAR125844. In the expansion cohort: to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumoral effect of SAR125844 in patients with measurable and MET gene amplification (including gastric cancer patients). Secondary Objectives: To characterize and confirm the global safety profile of SAR125844 including cumulative toxicities. To assess preliminary antitumor activity of SAR125844. To explore the pharmacodynamic effects (PDy) of SAR125844. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of SAR125844. To explore the relationship of MET gene amplification status with antitumor effects. To evaluate other pharmacodynamic biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to find a recommended dose level and schedule of dosing LY3023414 that can safely be taken by participants with advanced or metastatic cancer. The study will also explore the changes to various markers in blood cells and potentially tumor cells. Finally, the study will help document any antitumor activity this drug may have. In Part A of this study, participants with advanced/metastatic cancer (including lymphoma) will receive increasing doses of LY3023414. In Part B, LY3023414 will be explored in different types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer, lymphoma and mesothelioma.
There is a high prevalence of sexual and body image problems among women treated for gynecologic cancer, which can lead to considerable distress. Given the sensitive and highly personal nature of these problems, women are often reluctant to speak to their doctors about these concerns and have few resources for support and information. The research team will conduct a prospective randomized controlled trail (RCT) to test the benefits of "GyneGals," a 12-week online (i.e. Internet-based) support group intervention for women who are sexually distressed due to gynecologic cancer and its treatment. The primary aim of this study is to determine whether a professionally-facilitated, information-rich, online support group is beneficial for women who are sexually distressed due to gynecologic cancer and the side effects of treatment.
This clinical trial is designed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of escalating doses of CP 751,871 given in combination with docetaxel in patients with non-hematologic malignancies for whom docetaxel is a reasonable treatment option.
The aim of the study is to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of afatinib in combination with 3-weekly trastuzumab in HER2 overexpressing cancer and to assess the efficacy of afatinib given at the MTD dosage, with 3-weekly trastuzumab in HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two different dosing regimens of LY2334737 in participants with cancer that is advanced and/or has spread to other parts of the body. Information about side effects will be collected.
The investigators propose a screening population-based study to systematically evaluate the accuracy and clinical relevance of sDNA testing as a potential alternative to colonoscopy screening. In addition, the investigators propose a genetic epidemiologic study of the relation between colon polyps, an established precursor of colon cancer, and two factors that may influence risk for colon cancer: candidate genes and diet.
A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of anti-TGFβRII monoclonal antibody (IMC-TR1) in participants with advanced solid tumors, as well as gather evidence of anti-tumor activity.
This study is designed to determine the safety and highest tolerated dose of anti-OX40 in patients with advanced cancer.
