Filter by:Background: - The experimental cancer treatment drug AZD6244 has been shown to block signals that tell cancer cells to grow. Cetuximab, a drug approved to treat cancer of the head, neck, colon, and rectum, also blocks signals that tell cancer cells to grow. Researchers are investigating the highest safe dose of AZD6244 to give with cetuximab, and will also investigate the effectiveness of this drug combination in individuals who have colorectal cancer that involves a particular protein known as the K-RAS protein. Cetuximab is not used to treat colorectal cancer with K-RAS tumors because it has not been shown to be effective, but researchers believe that adding AZD6244 to cetuximab may improve how well cetuximab works, even in people with K-RAS tumors. Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AZD6244 in combination with cetuximab for solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AZD6244 in combination with cetuximab for colorectal cancer that involves the K-RAS protein and has not responded to standard treatment. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard treatment. Design: - This protocol will involve two separate studies: an initial study to establish the highest safe and effective dose of AZD6244 and cetuximab in individuals with solid tumors, and an expansion study of AZD6244 and cetuximab in individuals with colorectal cancer involving the K-RAS protein. - Participants will be screened with a full medical history and physical examination, blood samples, imaging studies, and other tests as required by the researchers. - AZD6244 is a capsule to be swallowed once or twice a day, every day, with water on an empty stomach. Cetuximab will be given intravenously once a week, over 2 hours for the first dose and over an hour for every following dose. This combination of daily AZD6244 and weekly cetuximab will be repeated in 28-day cycles of treatment. Participants will keep a diary to record the time of taking AZD6244 each day, as well as any side effects. - Participants will have frequent blood tests and other exams during the first cycle of treatment, up to five visits to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other visits to their local doctor to in the first 28-day cycle. - During subsequent cycles, participants will have four visits to NIH and four visits to your local doctor for examinations, blood tests, and imaging studies. - Participants may continue to receive the AZD6244 with cetuximab for up to 6 cycles, until the tumor grows, unacceptable side effects development, or the participant or participant's doctor decides to stop participation. There will be a final study visit that repeats the procedures performed during the screening visit....

This study is to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of ASP3026 in patients with advanced malignancies (solid tumors and B-cell lymphoma).
Co-selective inhibition of VEGFRs and FGFR has the potential benefit of blocking the two most relevant players in tumor angiogenesis and simultaneously targeting proliferation in FGF-driven tumors. Lucitanib is a novel dual-targeted small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR1, 2, 3 and FGFR1 showing strong anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity in preclinical models at well-tolerated oral doses, with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile. These properties make it an attractive candidate for development in humans. This is an open-label, uncontrolled, non-randomized, PhaseI/IIa study and its primary objective is to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lucitanib administered orally, once daily, on a continuous schedule over the initial 28-day cycle. Secondary objectives are to determine the safety profile, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and antitumour activity of Lucitanib, given as a single agent to adult patients with advanced solid tumours. The study consists of two phases, a dose escalation phase followed by a dose-expansion phase at the identified Recommended Dose (RD). Eligible patients have histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours, relapsed or refractory to standard therapy. For the dose expansion, patients should have tumours bearing FGFR1 or 11q 12-14 amplification, assessed by FISH or CGH array, or "sensitive" to antiangiogenic treatment. These latter are defined as patients who have relapsed after having experienced stable disease (lasting at least six months) or partial response with prior treatment with an approved antiangiogenic regimen or patients with tumour types known to be potentially responsive to antiangiogenic agents but without such pretreatment if no antiangiogenic agents were approved and/or available for that specific condition (e.g thyroid cancer, thymic carcinoma). Serial safety assessments, including evaluation of symptoms, physical examination and blood and urine laboratory analyses are performed throughout the study. Cardiac functions and blood pressure are monitored in consultation with a cardiologist. PK parameters are determined on plasma samples collected during the first 4-week cycle and analyzed using a validated LC-MS/MS method. Correlative studies include: (i) quantitative assessment of the effects of E-3810 on tumor vasculature by DCE-MRI and DCE-US imaging; (ii) assay of angiogenesis biomarkers i.e. soluble VEGFR2, VEGFR1, VEGF, bFGF, Collagen IV, FGF23 and PIGF(by ELISA) and circulating endothelial and progenitors cells (CEC and CEP). Tumor response is based on imaging according to RECIST; circulating tumor cells (CTC) are measured by the immunomagnetic CellSearch method. In patients with tumours bearing FGFR1 amplifications the efficacy of Lucitanib will be formally tested according to a phase IIa design (one-stage Flaming design, H0=0.05, H1=0,30, power 0,80.
In this study, BKM120 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 confirm the safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BKM120 in Japanese patients.
Therapeutic solutions to treat solid tumors that are resistant to conventional treatments are now limited. Laboratory data in animals (on pediatric tumors such as brain tumors, sarcomas and neuroblastomas) have shown that the combination of irinotecan (HIF1alpha inhibitor) and rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) allowed to block development of blood vessels in the tumor and could, in some cases, stop its progression. This drug combination has already been tested in adult patients with refractory tumors and seems to give encouraging results with stabilization of the tumor. The dose and toxicity of irinotecan and rapamycin are known when these drugs are administered separately and in a context different from that of refractory tumors. RAPIRI is a phase I clinical trial whose principal objectives are to determine the maximum dose at which these two molecules may be administered and to assess the safety of this new combination of drugs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of daily oral doses of ZSTK474, an oral phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, in subjects with advanced solid malignancies.
This is an open-label Phase 1 dose escalation study of OMP-59R5 in subjects with previously treated solid tumors for which there is no remaining standard curative therapy and no therapy with a demonstrated survival benefit. Up to 44 subjects will be enrolled at up to 2 centers. Subjects will be assessed for safety, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, and efficacy. No formal interim analyses will be performed. Prior to enrollment, subjects will undergo screening to determine study eligibility. Upon enrollment, subjects will receive intravenous (IV) infusions of OMP-59R5 at a assigned dosing schedule for 56 days. After 56 days, subjects will be assessed for disease status. If there is no evidence of disease progression or if the tumor is smaller, then subjects may continue to receive IV infusions of OMP-59R5 every week until disease progression. Dose escalation will be conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). No dose escalation or reduction will be allowed within a dose cohort. The first 2 subjects enrolled in a cohort will not be treated on the same day. The dose may be administered at any time during the day. Three subjects will be treated at each dose level if no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed. The first 2 subjects in each cohort will not be started on OMP-59R5 on the same day. If 1 of 3 subjects experiences a DLT, that dose level will be expanded to 6 subjects. If 2 or more subjects experience a DLT, no further subjects will be dosed at that level and 3 additional subjects will be added to the preceding dose cohort unless 6 subjects have already been treated at that dose level. Subjects will be assessed for DLTs from the time of the first dose through 28 days. Dose escalation for newly enrolled subjects, if appropriate, will occur after all subjects in a cohort have completed their Day 28 DLT assessment. Subjects with stable disease or a response at Day 56 will be allowed to continue to receive weekly doses of OMP-59R5 until disease progression. An additional 14 subjects will be enrolled at the highest dose level that result in <2 of the 6 subjects experiencing a DLT.
Background: - Belinostat is an experimental cancer treatment drug that works by helping to turn on genes that limit cell growth and survival of cancer cells. These genes are often switched off in tumors. Belinostat has been given to patients with different types of cancer to measure its safety and effectiveness, but it has not been given in a formal trial to cancer patients who have abnormal liver function. Because belinostat is processed by the liver, its safety and effectiveness needs to be established in individuals who have abnormal liver function. Researchers are interested in comparing the effects of belinostat as a cancer treatment drug in individuals with normal and abnormal liver function. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of belinostat in individuals who have solid tumors and lymphomas and who also have abnormal liver function. - To compare the results of belinostat treatment in individuals with normal and abnormal liver function. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with solid tumors or lymphomas that have not responded to standard treatment. - Individuals with normal liver function and varying degrees of abnormal liver function (mild, moderate, severe) are eligible. Design: - Participants will be screened with a full medical history and physical examination, as well as blood and urine tests, and tumor imaging studies. Participants will then be divided into study groups based on their liver function. - Participants will receive belinostat in cycles of treatment. Except for cycle 1, all cycles will last 21 days. Cycle 1 will last 28 days. For cycle 1 only, participants will receive a single dose of belinostat 1 week before the regular 21-day treatment cycle starts. - In each cycle, participants will receive belinostat once a day for 5 days, and will be asked to keep a medication diary to record any side effects. - Participants will have regular clinic visits with blood and urine sample collection and imaging studies to evaluate the cancer's response to treatment. - Participants may continue to take belinostat for as long as the cancer responds to the treatment.
