Teen loss is not uncommon. Depression, emptiness, disbelief, hopelessness, and guilt are typical responses. How teens with cancer cope with the loss of a loved one or a close friend has not been well-studied in the bereavement or oncology literature. This study will describe the impact of loss on teen patients who are on treatment or have recently completed treatment for malignancy. We will look at baseline personality traits and ask teens to identify losses in their life. We will ask questions about coping and meaning-making after loss. A parent will be invited to participate -to measure parental awareness of teen loss and determine if parental coping affects teen coping. The inventories have been validated by other researchers.
This is an open-label, Phase 1, dose escalation study of oral ARQ 092 administered to subjects with advanced solid tumors and recurrent malignant lymphoma. The study is designed to explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of ARQ 092 and to define a recommended Phase 2 dose of ARQ 092.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of zoledronic acid with standard treatment with anthracycline followed taxane plus trastuzumab in locally advanced breast cancer HER 2 positive.
The investigators seek to compare two techniques of removing pre-cancerous lesions from the colon. The investigators also will compare two solutions used during the procedure to determine if either solution allows for an improved removal of the tumors.
In this study, MEK162 will be administered to Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors whose disease has progressed despite standard therapy or for whom no standard therapy exists. The trial will investigate the safety and tolerability and determine the MTD of MEK162 in Japanese patients.
Background: - Pazopanib is an anticancer drug that blocks the growth of new blood vessels in tumors. It has been approved to treat renal cell cancer and soft tissue sarcomas in patients who have received prior chemotherapy. ARQ 197 (Tivantinib) is an experimental drug that blocks a protein called mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET), which cancer cells need to grow. Studies suggest that some drugs that block blood vessel growth can increase the production of c-MET in tumors, which helps cancer cells keep growing. Blocking both blood vessel growth and c-MET with pazopanib and ARQ 197 may help kill cancer cells faster. This study will use these drugs to treat solid tumors that have not responded to earlier treatments. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of pazopanib and ARQ 197 for advanced solid tumors. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have advanced solid tumors that have not responded to earlier treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will also have blood and urine tests, and imaging studies. - The study drugs will be given in 4-week cycles of treatment. Participants will take pazopanib once a day and ARQ 197 twice a day by mouth. Some participants will start with pazopanib or ARQ 197 alone for the first week. Then they will take both drugs together for the rest of the study. - Participants will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Optional tumor samples may be collected during different treatment cycles.
Cabozantinib works by blocking the growth of new blood vessels that feed a tumor. In addition to blocking the formation of new blood cells in tumors, cabozantinib also blocks pathways that may be responsible for allowing cancers cells to become resistant to other "anti-angiogenic" drugs. Cabozantinib has been studied or is being study in research studies as a possible treatment for various types of cancer, including prostate cancer, brain cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer. In this research study, the investigators wish to learn if cabozantinib is effective in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine and carcinoid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early and continuous addition of bevacizumab for up to 30 months to the standard chemotherapy is more effective than the early and continuous addition of bevacizumab for up to 15 months.
This multicenter, open label, dose-escalating study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of RO5503781, administered once daily (QD) or once weekly (QW) in participants with advanced malignancies except leukemia. Participants will receive multiple escalating oral doses in two different dosing schedules (Sch) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
