Filter by:Available studies suggest that regional anesthesia-analgesia may decrease the occurrence of recurrence/metastasis in patients after cancer surgery. However, evidences from prospective studies are still lacking. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of epidural anesthesia-analgesia on recurrence-free survival in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
This is a phase 1 open-label trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of RRx-001 administered in combination with irinotecan. RRx-001 is associated with resensitization to irinotecan in tumors that are previously refractory. This effect has been attributed to the ability of RRx-001 to restore the expression of aberrantly silenced genes, thus re-establishing pathway functions. However, resensitization may have more than one mechanism, among them Pgp pump inhibition and vascular modulation, leading to improved penetration of standard chemotherapy.
Primary brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. Glioma is the most common form of primary brain cancer, afflicting approximately 7,000 patients in the United States each year. These highly malignant cancers remain a significant unmet clinical need in oncology. GBM often has a high expression of EFGR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor), which is associated with poor prognosis. Several methods of inhibiting this receptor have been tested, including monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The investigators hypothesize that in patients with recurring GBM, intracranial superselective intra-arterial infusion of Cetuximab (CTX), at a dose of 250mg/m2 in conjunction with hypofractionated radiation, will be safe and efficacious and prevent tumor progression in patients with recurrent, residual GBM.
This research study is being carried out to study a new way to possibly treat human cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) without invasion. Persistent infection with specific types of human papillomavirus (HPV, most frequently types 16 and 18) may lead to precancerous lesions(CIN). If untreated, these lesions may progress to cervical cancer within many years. In the infected cells, HPV expresses the oncoproteins E6 and E7, both of which play key roles in maintaining viral infection and promoting carcinogenesis. Previous studies has demonstrated that E7 alone, but not E6, is sufficient to immortalize human keratinocytes in vitro and induce high-grade cervical dysplasia in a transgenic mouse model. These data indicated that E7 may dominate the malignant progress in HPV-infected cells. The agents zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), called ZFN-603 and ZFN-758, which can cleave the HPV16 and HPV18 E7 oncogene specifically. ZFN-mediated disruption of HPV16 and HPV18 E7 DNA directly decreased the expression of E7, induced type-specific apoptosis in HPV16- and HPV18-positive cells, and inhibited cell growth. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ZFN-603 and ZFN-758 are effective in the treatment of HPV16- and HPV18-positive cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
To better understand the safety and tolerability of ALKS 4230 in humans
This study is an ascending dose first-time-in-human study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic (PD), and pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of GSK1795091 in healthy subjects. The results will support the design of future clinical trials of GSK1795091 administered to subjects with advanced malignancies in combination with immune system modulators. Part 1 will be a randomized, double-blind (sponsor-unblinded), placebo-controlled, single center, single dose escalation, sequential group evaluation of intravenously administered GSK1795091 to evaluate the safety and tolerability in healthy subjects. Part 2 will be an open-label, parallel group evaluation of 2 doses of GSK1795091 administered, either 1 week apart (Part 2, Cohort 1) or 2 weeks apart (Part 2, Cohort 2). In Part 2, on Day 1, subjects will receive intravenous GSK1795091 at a dose determined by results from Part 1. The total duration of this study is approximately 10 weeks from screening to the last study visit.
The present study is designed to determine whether adjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy improves overall survivals.
Glioblastoma (GBM) and gliosarcoma (GS) are the most common and aggressive forms of malignant brain tumor in adults and can be resistant to conventional therapies. The purpose of this Phase II study is to evaluate how well a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma tumor responds to one injection of DNX-2401, a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus, when delivered directly into the tumor followed by the administration of intravenous pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint inhibitor) given every 3 weeks for up to 2 years or until disease progression.

This phase II trial studies the safety and efficacy of frameless fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy for brain metastases. Frameless fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers 3 to 5, high dose fractions of radiation directly to the brain lesions while sparing normal tissues.
This study is a first-in-human, multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, dose-escalation trial to be conducted in 2 sequential parts: - Part A (Dose Escalation) in subjects with advanced malignancies - Part B (Dose Confirmation) in subjects with tumor type(s) to be determined by results of Part A
