Filter by:The main purpose of first-in-human IM156 study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose of IM156.
Bevacizumab, as an antibody of vascular endothelial generated factor (VEGF), combined with the fluorouracil-based chemotherapy regimens for metastatic colorectal cancer, has become the classical first-line treatment. However, vast majority of patients eventually will suffer progression disease. The second-line treatment includes replacing chemotherapy regimens whistle continuing bevacizumab or other anti-VEGF antibodies, such as Aflibercept and Ramucirumab. Apatinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), which can highly selectively bind to and strongly block VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR - 2), also potently suppress the activities of Ret, c-kit and c-src, resulting in reduced cell migration, proliferation, and tumor microvascular density mediated by VEGF .There are already robust data showing that antibodies aimed at blocking VEGF signaling pathways combined with chemotherapy to treat advanced colorectal cancer is superior as compared to chemotherapy alone. Thus, we hypothesize that the effect of using the second-line chemotherapy regimens combined with apatinib may be superior to those combined with bevacizumab. In this study,the patients who have progressed following or on first-line oxaliplatin and 5-FU combined with bevacizumab are randomised into two arms. Patients in the experimental arm receive second-line FOLFIRI combined with apatinib and those in the control arm receive second-line FOLFIRI combined with bevacizumab. To compare the efficacy and safety of the two arms, progression-free survival(PFS) is the primary end point.If apatinib is superior to bevacizumab in the second-line setting,it is one possible option of anti-angiogenic therapy in combination with second-line FOLFIRI for treatment of advanced colorectal cancer.
Studies show that cancer survivors have unmet needs, the most frequently cited being fear of recurrence (FCR). Moderate to high levels of FCR have been reported by as much as 49% of cancer patients and are more prevalent among women. FCR is associated with psychological distress, lower quality of life, and increased health care utilization. Little evidence exists that these problems are being addressed by current medical management.
The experimental treatment consists in the application of a therapeutic strategy with post Transplant High-Dose Cyclophosphamide as GvHD Prophylaxis in Patients Receiving 1-Antigen/Allele HLA Mismatched (7/8 matched) Unrelated Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Myeloid Malignancies.
The study is primarily designed to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating oral doses of Debio 1143 and preliminary anti-tumour activity when combined with the standard dose of avelumab in participants with advanced solid malignancies.
This phase II trial studies how well gadolinium and ferumoxytol magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) work in diagnosing patients with abnormalities in the central nervous system. Diagnostic procedures, such as gadolinium and ferumoxytol MRI, may help find and diagnose abnormalities in the central nervous system.
5764 men and women in Iceland, aged 66 to 96 years entered the Ages Gene/Environment Susceptibility (AGES) - Reykjavik Study. Serum 25(OH)D was measured in 5,519 of all 5,764 (96%) participants at study entry in year 2002 through 2006. The main emphasis was on exploring whether pre-diagnostic serum levels of 25(OH)D were associated with survival after cancer diagnosis.
Background: People who join a study in the Developmental Therapeutics Clinic (DTC) have tests. These include blood draws and biopsies. Researchers collect data from these samples. Some people take part in more than one study at the DTC. At this time, data are connected only with one single study. Researchers want to access people s medical records. This will allow them to link the research data from all their studies they have or will take part in. Researchers also want to collect medical data about their diagnosis and treatment history. This will allow them to see how their cancer reacted to different drugs over time. Objective: To enter people into a master protocol to connect research sample and treatment data across DTC studies. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who are being evaluated or treated for cancer in the DTC Design: Participants will allow researchers to look at all the data from their research samples. This includes those from their current, past, and any future NIH studies. Participants will allow researchers to access some of their medical data. This includes age, diagnosis, treatment history, and response to treatment. Participants will provide no new samples. ...
This randomized phase II trial studies how well an IRX-2 Regimen works in treating women with cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 3 or squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 3. The IRX-2 Regimen consists of a single dose of cyclophosphamide, followed by 21 days of indomethacin, zinc-containing multivitamins, and omeprazole. IRX-2, a human cell-derived biologic with multiple active cytokine components, may act as an immune booster to stimulate the immune system. Giving cyclophosphamide and IRX-2 may work better at treating cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia or squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of CAN04 both as a monotherapy and in combination with standard of care treatment in subjects with solid cancer tumors. Following completion of the first part, the dose escalation cohorts, and determination of maximum tolerated dose or recommended phase 2 dose (MTD/RP2D), safety and tolerability will be further evaluated in an expanded cohort of subjects with pancreatic or lung cancer, as monotherapy or in combination with the standard of care treatment and to identify the RP2D of CAN04 in combination with standard of care. In addition, early signs of efficacy during treatment with CAN04 will be investigated.
