Filter by:The overall objective of this pilot study is to determine whether multispectral imaging increases the diagnostic accuracy of the current standard of high-definition white-light endoscopy for the detection of Barrett's-associated neoplasia (high grade dysplasia or cancer). The investigators goal is to develop a multispectral endoscopic platform that can be used to survey a large surface area and, potentially, serve as a 'red flag' for microendoscopic imaging of small areas. The goal of this pilot study is to preliminarily determine the accuracy of these modalities during the endoscopic surveillance of Barrett's esophagus.
Monoclonal antibodies can transport and deliver radioactive elements capable of releasing sufficient amounts of energy to destroy tumor cells. In this clinical trial, we will study alpha particle radio immunotherapy using lead-212 (²¹²Pb), an isotope with a short path length targeted to malignant cells by the trastuzumab antibody, as a potential treatment for metastatic diseases. This Phase I trial is designed to determine the toxicity profile of ²¹²Pb-TCMC-Trastuzumab, its dose-limiting toxicities, and its anti-tumor effects in patients with HER-2 positive intraperitoneal cancers.
This multicenter, open-label, multiple ascending dose study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of RO5458640 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Cohorts of patients will receive ascending doses of RO5458640 intravenously, either weekly or every 2 weeks or every 3 weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
This phase I study in adult patients with advanced solid tumours is designed to evaluate toxicity, drug exposure (pharmacokinetics) and drug action (pharmacodynamics) of a new molecule, PDM08, administered twice a week cycles of 4 weeks. This drug has shown antitumoral activity in several murine cancer models.
Iso-fludelone is a type of chemotherapy drug called an epothilone. Epothilones are drugs that attach to proteins in your body called "tubulins". Tubulins help cells to grow, and are found in both normal and cancer cells. When research animals with cancer were given the study drug, Iso-fludelone, the drug attached itself to "tubulin" and slowed or stopped the cancer cells from growing. Other types of epothilones have been tested in cancer patients and were found to be safe. A similar epothilone drug and other drugs called taxanes are currently approved by the FDA for treating certain types of cancers. The purpose of this study is to see the effects, good and/or bad, of this investigational drug, Iso-fludelone, on cancer. The term "investigational" means the study drug being tested has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or other regulatory agencies. This study is the first time the investigators are using iso-fludelone in people. This is a Phase I study. In a Phase I study, the first people to receive the drug are given a fairly low dose.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors. Vaccines made from antibodies and peptides combined with tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
This Phase I, multicenter, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) administered as single agent to participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancies or hematologic malignancies. The study will be conducted in two cohorts: Dose-escalation cohort and Expansion cohort.
Phase 1b: To determine the safe and tolerable dose of galunisertib in combination with gemcitabine in patients with solid malignancy Phase 2a: To compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with Stage II to IV unresectable pancreatic cancer when treated with a combination of galunisertib and gemcitabine with that of gemcitabine plus placebo.
The study is a prospective multi-centered cohort study designed to determine the safety and efficacy of AlloMax in immediate expander-based breast reconstruction. Specifically, the study is designed to determine if sterility of human acellular dermal matrix results in a lower incidence of infection and seroma. The study will determine if gamma radiation, as a method of terminally sterilizing human acellular dermal matrix, has a negative impact on graft incorporation into the host tissue.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a surgical procedure called an extraperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy followed by chemotherapy and tailored radiation therapy can help to control the disease for a longer time than standard-of-care chemotherapy and whole pelvic radiation therapy.
