Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of single doses of STA-4783/paclitaxel in combination when administered intravenously to patients with refractory cancer. To determine the pharmacokinetics of STA-4783 and paclitaxel when co-administered. To assess the anti-tumor activity of STA-4783 and paclitaxel when co-administered.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, toxicity and patient tolerance of STA-5312 administered intravenously to patients with relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies and patients with solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether differences in the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are influenced by the socioeconomic status and ethnicity of cancer patients.
The purpose of this phase II study is to assess the efficacy of AP23573 in patients with specified relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-142886. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 25 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of the study, patients will receive the best dose of study drug, determined from the first part of the study, and will be followed to see what side effects the study drug causes and what effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 35 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Completed).
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy alone is as effective as chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating germ cell tumor. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy alone to see how well it works compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary CNS germ cell tumor.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, capecitabine, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel, capecitabine, and cisplatin in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Litx™ system is safe and effective in combination with chemotherapy in the treatment of liver metastasis arising from colorectal cancer. Litx™ is a next-generation photodynamic therapy platform in which the drug, talaporfin sodium (LS11), is activated by light from the light-emitting diode (LED)-based light infusion device, inserted directly into the tumor through the skin prior to treatment.
This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label study of cetuximab in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) negative, metastatic colorectal carcinoma who have progressed after receiving at least one standard chemotherapeutic regimen that included a fluoropyrimidine. Target enrollment is 80 evaluable patients. Patients with EGFR-negative metastatic colorectal carcinoma who have progressed after receiving at least one standard chemotherapeutic regimen that included a fluoropyrimidine, will receive an initial dose of cetuximab, 400 mg/m2 , intravenously (i.v.) over 120 minutes, followed by weekly treatment with cetuximab, 250 mg/m2 i.v. over 60 minutes. Patients who experience unacceptable toxicity or who have progressive disease (PD) will not receive further cetuximab therapy. Patients will be evaluated for a tumor response at a minimum of every 6 weeks while on cetuximab therapy. Patients with stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or a complete response (CR) may continue to receive weekly cetuximab therapy, unless they are dose-delayed or discontinued because of toxicity. Patients who have a PR or CR must have a confirmatory tumor assessment no less than 4 weeks after the initial evaluation demonstrating a response. To evaluate the objective response rate, a single-stage design will be used in this study.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the combination of WX-UK1 and capecitabine in patients with advanced malignancies.
