Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of giving a stem cell transplant from a tissue-mismatched donor, followed by cyclophosphamide, to patients with certain types of blood disorders or blood cancers. Melphalan, thiotepa, and fludarabine will also be given before the transplant. Researchers will study the health status of these patients at 3 months after the transplant.
This phase II trial studies how well temsirolimus and bevacizumab work in treating patients with advanced endometrial, ovarian, liver, carcinoid, or islet cell cancer. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving temsirolimus together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
Primary objective: - Rate of complete chemotherapy induced alopecia (WHO grade III or IV, physician grading) Secondary objective: - Compliance to scalp cooling procedure - Received number of cycles of chemotherapy in each subgroup - Patient perception of scalp cooling procedure - Side effects of scalp cooling systems
Panobinostat (LBH589) is a deacetylase inhibitor (DACi) which belongs to a structurally novel cinnamic hydroxamic acid class of compounds. It is one of the most potent class I/II pan-DAC inhibitor (pan-DACi) that has shown anti-tumor activity in pre-clinical models and patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies. To date, the pharmacokinetics (PK) of panobinostat has been characterized in patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies participating in several phase I/II clinical studies. Panobinostat PK does not appear to be different in patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies. However, the effect of organ dysfunction on PK of panobinostat is yet to be elucidated. Kidney and liver are involved in the elimination and metabolism of panobinostat. The current study is designed to evaluate the impact of hepatic function status on panobinostat PK.
PLX3397 is a selective inhibitor of Fms, Kit, and oncogenic Flt3 activity. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of orally administered PLX3397 in patients with advanced, incurable, solid tumors in which these target kinases are linked to disease pathophysiology. The secondary objective is to measure the pharmacodynamic activity of PLX3397 via blood, plasma and urine biomarkers of Fms activity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of methylnaltrexone in relieving opioid-induced constipation in cancer patients at various stages of disease.
The study will determine the maximum tolerated dose and thus the recommended phase II dose and schedule of the compound and characterize the safety.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if AZD8931 can be safely administered in Japanese patients alone and in combination with weekly paclitaxel. The study will be conducted in two parts: a monotherapy and a combination part, where safe doses of study treatment will be determined.
A study of sequential administration of oral sapacitabine and oral Seliciclib in patients with advanced solid tumors.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of the combination of BIBW 2992/BIBF 1120 therapy administered concomitantly. The MTD will provide dosing recommendation for subsequent phase II trials in patients with metastatic cancer.
