Filter by:NOTE: This study is now recruiting only patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN). Dose escalation has been completed. The purpose of this study is to test a new drug, called PU-H71 for the first time in humans, to find out what effects, good or bad, this new drug has on the patient and the cancer at different dose levels. PU-H71 blocks a protein called Heat Shock Protein-90 (Hsp90). Hsp90 is found in both normal and cancer cells, but may be more important in cancer cells. Attacking Hsp90 can stop the function of certain proteins that are needed for cancer cells to survive. The diseases that are part of this study may be especially sensitive to attacking Hsp90, and the investigators have seen signs of disease control in patients with MPN. This study is currently enrolling a cohort expansion for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).
Primary Objective: - To confirm safety and tolerability of global recommended phase three dose (RPTD) of SAR245408 tablets when administered on continuous once daily dosing (CDD) in patients with solid tumors. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of daily oral administration of SAR245408 in CDD treatment schedule in patients with solid tumors. - To gather preliminary efficacy data after repeated administration of SAR245408 in patients with solid tumors.
The PI3K (phosphoinositol 3-Kinase) inhibitor Copanlisib and the MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) inhibitor Refametinib (BAY86-9766)have both been tested as single agent treatments in other phase I studies. This study will test the combination of these two drugs to try and answer the following questions: 1. What are the side effects of the combination of Copanlisib and Refametinib (BAY86-9766)when given together at different/increasing dose levels? 2. What dose level of Copanlisib and Refametinib (BAY86-9766) should be tested in future clinical research studies? 3. How much Copanlisib is in the blood at specific times after administration and does adding Refametinib (BAY86-9766) have an affect? 4. How much Refametinib (BAY86-9766) is in the blood at specific times after administration and does adding Copanlisib have an affect? 5. Does the combination of Refametinib (BAY86-9766) and Copanlisib have an effect on tumors?
Primary Objectives: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of SAR125844. To confirm safety profile of SAR125844 when administered as single agent at the MTD. To evaluate the preliminary anti-tumoral effect of SAR125844 in patients with MET-gene amplified solid tumors (including sub-group of MET-amplified non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC] patients) and in patients with Phospho-MET positive tumors without MET-gene amplification. Secondary Objectives: To characterize the global safety profile including cumulative toxicities. To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of SAR125844 in the proposed dosing schedule(s). To assess preliminary antitumor activity in patients with measurable/evaluable disease, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. To explore the pharmacodynamic effects (PD) of SAR125844. To explore MET gene amplification status in Circulating Tumoral Cells (CTCs) and on tumor biopsies collected during the study, in the escalation part only. To evaluate other pharmacodynamic biomarkers and help selection of patients who could benefit from SAR125844. To explore MET-gene amplification status in circulating DNA.
This research trial is testing a combination of two experimental drugs, MSC1936369B (Mitogen-activated protein extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) Inhibitor) and SAR245409 (Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pi3K)/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor), in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The primary purpose of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the drug combination.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity including quality of life of two types of low-dose interferon alpha compounds (PegIntron and Pegasys) with hydroxyurea (Hydrea), and to investigate the occurence of neutralizing antibodies against recombinant interferon.
In this study, BYL719 will be administered to adult 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 BYL719 in Japanese patients.
The overall objective is to estimate the actual or potential benefit of deep inspiration breath holding (DIBH) treatment in the context of proton radiotherapy as compared to 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated x-ray therapy (IMXT), as it relates to variability in tumor localization, treatment margins, target volume definition, doses to organs at risk and variations with treatment planning.
The purpose of this study is to see whether giving azacitidine before each cycle of chemotherapy prior to surgery is safe.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the direct mailing of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) kits to patients who are due for colorectal cancer screening is an effective way to improve colorectal cancer screening rates within a low income and racially/ethnically diverse population.
