This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) activity of adavosertib, both as monotherapy and in combination with gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin in participants with advanced solid tumors. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of adavosertib in combination with gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin will also be assessed. The primary hypotheses of the study are as follows: 1) Oral administration of adavosertib both as monotherapy and in combination with either gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors will be safe and tolerable, 2) The side effects observed in participants with advanced solid tumors after administration of adavosertib combined with each of the chemotherapies (gemcitabine, cisplatin and carboplatin) will allow for the definition of a single dose combination Maximum Administered Dose (MAD)/Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and a multiple dose combination Biologically Effective Dose (BED)/MTD for each of the 3 combinations, 3) At a tolerated dose, adavosertib plasma exposure will exceed target thresholds established in preclinical models, and 4) At a tolerated dose, PD markers of adavosertib activity in combination with either gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin (in surrogate tissue and/or tumor) will meet or exceed the target threshold established in preclinical models.
Hsp90 is a chemical in the body that is involved in promotion of cancer. SNX-5422 is an experimental drug that blocks Hsp90. It is being evaluated for safety and efficacy in patients with cancer.
Background: SNX-5422 is an experimental drug that inhibits a protein called Hsp90, which is important for the growth of tumor cells. SNX-5422 has shown some activity against tumors in the laboratory and animal studies. Objectives: To determine the highest safe dose, or maximum tolerated dose (MTD), of SNX-5422 that can safely be given to patients with solid tumor cancers and lymphomas when taken twice a week. To learn how the body's blood and tissue cells react to SNX-5422. To examine the effects of SNX-5422 on tumors and lymphomas. Eligibility: Patients 18 years of age or older who have solid tumor cancers or lymphomas that do not respond to standard therapy or for whom no acceptable standard treatment is available. Design: SNX-5422 is taken by mouth twice a week in 28-day cycles. Treatment may continue as long as the cancer does not worsen and side effects are acceptable. Three to six patients are enrolled in the study at a time. Each group is given a higher dose of SNX-5422 than the previous, as long as the preceding dose was tolerated and until the MTD is determined. When the MTD is found, six more patients are enrolled at that dose level. During the treatment period, patients undergo the following tests and procedures: - Clinic visits for a physical examination each treatment cycle to check on health status. - Blood tests for routine laboratory values, to determine how the body handles SNX-5422, and to examine the effects of SNX-5422 on blood cells and other targets. - Urine tests as needed, depending on the results of blood tests. - CT scans, or other imaging tests every 8 weeks to evaluate the tumor response to treatment. - Tumor biopsy (surgical removal of a tissue sample for examination under a microscope) before the first dose of SNX-5422 and again 24 hours after the first dose to see how the drug affects the tumor. This test is optional.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer and to evaluate the effects of this treatment on the quality of life over time.
Primary objective: To determine the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TCN-PM (Triciribine) when administered as an approximately one-hour intravenous infusion on a weekly schedule on days 1, 8 and 15 in a 28 day cycle in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies; To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of Triciribine following study drug administration. Secondary objective: To observe the anti-tumor effects of Triciribine, if any occur
RATIONALE: Vaccines may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vaccine therapy together with radiation therapy and chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme recovering from lymphopenia caused by temozolomide.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive a new formulation of investigational study drug ARRY-334543. Patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. The patients will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. In addition, the effect of food on the new formulation will be evaluated. Approximately 24 patients from Canada will be enrolled in this study (Active, not recruiting).
The main purpose of this study is to explore the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses (MAD) of AZD8931 in patients with advanced solid malignancies
