Filter by:This is a Phase I, open label, Dose Escalation study of oral administration of single agent MLN0128 in participants with Advanced Malignancies followed by an Expansion Phase in participants with renal cell carcinoma, endometrial cancer or urothelial cancer who have measurable disease.
After resection of diseased segments of the large intestine, the continuity of the intestine has to be restored. This can be done by suturing or with so called stapling devices. In addition since 2 centuries compression rings are used to connect the intestine after resection. The NITICAR27 device is a novel compression anastomosis device. The investigators want to prove if this novel device can be compared to commonly used stapling devices concerning anastomotic leakage, bleeding and stenosis.
Background: - Indenoisoquinolines are experimental cancer treatment drugs that damage the DNA in cells, resulting in cell death. Researchers have been studying these drugs and their usefulness in treating types of cancer that have not responded well to standard therapies like surgery or radiation. - LMP400 (NSC 743400) and LMP776 (NSC 725776) are indenoisoquinolines that have not been given to cancer patients before. These drugs have very similar chemical structures and work the same way, but researchers do not know which one will work best. More information is needed about how LMP400 and LMP776 are processed by the body and how effective they are in treating difficult-to-treat types of cancer. Objectives: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose of LMP400 (NSC 743400) and LMP776 (NSC 725776). - To study how the body handles LMP400 and LMP776. - To evaluate the effectiveness of LMP400 and LMP776 as a treatment for tumors and lymphoma that have not responded to standard treatment. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have malignant solid tumors or Hodgkin s disease/non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has not responded to standard therapies. Design: - Participants will receive either LMP400 or LMP776. The treatment cycle will be 28 days. On the first 5 days of each cycle, participants will receive intravenous doses of their specific study drug, followed by 23 days without the drug. The 28-day cycle will be repeated as long as the drug does not cause severe side effects and the cancer remains stable or improves. The study doctor may increase or decrease the dose of study drug depending on how well it is tolerated. - Blood, urine, and hair samples and skin and tumor biopsies will be collected during the first treatment cycle. Routine blood samples will be taken throughout the study. - Other tests, including additional blood and urine samples, computed tomography (CT) or other scans, and bone marrow samples, may be performed as directed by the study doctors.
MORAb-003 is intravenously administered to Japanese patients with folate receptor-alpha expressing solid tumor once a week for 4 weeks as 1 cycle in order to investigate dose-limiting toxicity and estimate maximum tolerated dose.
DM-CHOC-PEN is a polychlorinated pyridine cholesteryl carbonate that has demonstrated antineoplastic activities in human xenograft intracerebrally implanted tumor mouse models, acceptable preclinical toxicities in mouse, rat and dog models; and no behavioral cognitive impairment/neurotoxicities were noted in mouse and rat models. The drug is ready for human use as an soy bean oil/lecithin/glycerin water emulsion, the latter which has been documented - chemically and biologically to be stable and safe. Patients are currently being enrolled and treated with the protocol. Patients with advanced cancer, with or without central nervous system involvement will be eligible for enrollment, providing the required blood and other eligibility requirements are met.
This is an open-label, multicenter study with a phase 1 dose escalation portion and a 2-stage, phase 2 portion, investigating MLN8237 in patients with advanced nonhematological malignancies.
The investigators hypothesize that Guaraná, a native plant from the Amazon, might improve chemotherapy-induced fatigue in breast cancer patients undergoing treatment. In order to assess this, the investigators randomized patients to either guaraná extract or to placebo, switching the assigned treatment mid-term through the cycles of Chemotherapy.
During Phase 1b portion, there will be a dose-escalation of AV-299 (formerly SCH 900105) in combination with the recommended dose of gefitinib in subjects with NSCLC or advanced solid tumor. The objective is to determine the safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in combination with gefitinib for the Phase 2 portion. The Phase 2 is an open-label, 2-arm, randomized study designed to compare the combination of AV-299 (formerly SCH900105) and gefitinib versus gefitinib alone in clinically selected Asian subjects with previously untreated lung adenocarcinoma who have a high likelihood of harboring activating EGFR mutations. Subjects who progress after initial disease control in the gefitinib alone arm may crossover to the combination arm.
It is known that radiation damages lung tissue. New human studies at University of Iowa show that the radiation damage is not as expected. The purpose of this study is to document lung function using four-dimensional computed tomography (CT) and quantify changes three months after radiation therapy for malignant lung disease.
This phase I clinical trial studies the side effects and the best dose of azacitidine and oxaliplatin in treating patients with advanced cancers that do not respond to treatment or have returned after any platinum therapy. Azacitidine is designed to activate (turn on) certain genes in cancer cells whose job is to fight tumors. Oxaliplatin is designed to block the growth and spread of new cancer cells, eventually destroying them, by damaging their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Giving azacitidine with oxaliplatin may kill more cancer cells and may also reverse resistance to platinum-based drugs.
