Filter by:This is an open label, multi-center, Phase II study of BBI503 administered to adult patients with selected advanced urologic malignancies. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the disease control rate of patients with renal cell cancer and urothelial carcinoma treated with BBI503.
Baseline levels of PAR-4 secreted by normal cells are generally inadequate to cause massive apoptosis in cancer cells and drugs that bolster the secretion of PAR-4 would constitute an important therapeutic advance.The apoptosis sensitizing features of hydroxychloroquine enhance the anti-tumor effects of a broad range of cancer therapeutics. The investigators hypothesize that hydroxychloroquine will induce at least 2-fold increase in systemic (plasma) PAR-4 levels compared to pre-treatment plasma levels in patients with resectable solid tumors.
This study aims to determine the oncological effectiveness of adjuvant HIPEC, using intraperitoneal oxaliplatin with concomitant i.v. 5-FU/LV, following a curative resection of a T4 or intra-abdominally perforated Colon cancer in preventing the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis in addition to the standard adjuvant systemic treatment. Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that adjuvant HIPEC preceding routine adjuvant systemic therapy using i.p. oxaliplatin with concomitant i.v. 5-FU/LV following a curative resection of a T4 or intra-abdominally perforated colon cancer reduces the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis in comparison to standard adjuvant systemic treatment alone.
This randomized phase 2 study will seek to determine the effectiveness of chemotherapy (physician's choice of vinorelbine, taxane [paclitaxel, docetaxel or nab paclitaxel] or capecitabine) plus trastuzumab vs chemotherapy (physician's choice) plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab in women with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast (MBC) that has been previously treated with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in the metastatic setting.
This is a randomized Phase 2 study to evaluate two different steroid-based mouth rinses (Miracle Mouth Wash plus hydrocortisone versus prednisolone oral rinse) for the prevention or treatment of everolimus-associated stomatitis (mouth sores) in postmenopausal patients undergoing treatment with an aromatase inhibitor plus everolimus. An exploratory analysis will also evaluate patient response to next anti-cancer therapy of physician's choice following discontinuation of therapy with an aromatase inhibitor plus everolimus.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of the investigational drug DCC-2701 and whether it will work to help people who have advanced solid tumors or cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
The aim of this study is to estimate the incidence rate of obturator nerve reflex and leg jerking during Transurethral Resections of Bladder Tumors (TURBTs), evaluate the efficacy of obturator nerve block in the prevention of inadvertent muscle spasm, and to identify predictors for both the jerking reflex and successful nerve block.
A nurse-led care program for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in an outpatient setting was formulated. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of this nurse-led care program on cancer patients who received neo-adjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy in a chemotherapy day center in terms of quality of life, symptom experiences, self-efficacy, health care utilization, and satisfaction with care. Specifically, the objectives are: - To compare the differences of health care utilization between the two arms. - To compare the differences of cancer patients' satisfaction with care between the two arms. - To explore the experiences of cancer patients in the intervention arm. - To understand the experiences of the intervention nurses of the program and their opinions on further development.
The majority of breast cancer patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment. Radiotherapy improves both locoregional control and overall survival. In most patients with breast cancer the locoregional recurrence rate (LRR) is low, however still high LRRs are found in certain patient groups, especially in locally advanced, inflammatory and triple negative breast cancer. Olaparib is a potent PARP inhibitor developed as an anti-cancer drug for homologous recombination (HR) defected tumors and as a dose intensifier for chemo- and radiotherapy. The combination of olaparib and radiotherapy is expected to improve locoregional control and thereby overall survival in both breast cancer patients with a high probability of locoregional recurrence and patients with HR deficient tumors. However, this combination treatment has never been tested in humans before. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of radiotherapy to the breast and regional lymph nodes with concurrent olaparib.
Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), combined with fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy is now the standard first and second-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer. The efficacy of bevacizumab with cytotoxic agents in the third-line treatment of patients with mCRC is still unknown.
