Filter by:Patients diagnosed with progressive and/or refractory solid malignancies, who have failed conventional therapy, and have no available, potentially curative therapeutic options, will be candidates for this Phase I/II study. Following confirmation of disease progression and/or refractoriness, eligible patients who agree to participate and sign an informed consent form will have their tumor cells/tissues and/or blood analyzed for the expression of a specific panel of Tumor Associated Peptide Antigens (TAPAs), including Sp17, ropporin, AKAP-4, PTTG1, Span-xb, Her-2/neu, HM1.24, NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-1.
This study will investigate the use of a new drug targeting the DNA repair pathway AZD6738, an ATR inhibitor). Many tumours have lost important DNA repair functions and rely more heavily on a few remaining repair pathways to survive. Preclinical studies indicate that, in these tumours, preventing the function of the remaining pathways will lead to tumour cell death, while sparing normal cells. This study aims to investigate the safety and tolerability of the new drug in patients with advanced cancer, as well as in combination with palliative radiotherapy, where the drug may increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy by preventing repair of the radiationinduced DNA damage. As the drug has only been given to a small number of patients, the study will focus on safety and finding the correct dose to proceed to further studies, although preliminary signs of drug activity will also be examined. The initial part of the study will administer increasing doses of the drug to groups of patients with advanced cancer who have no standard anticancer treatment options available. Testing will establish whether the drug levels in the body and tumour are adequate for the drug to have an effect, and any toxicity will be assessed. After the recommended dose is established, the recommended dose schedule will be stablished by trialing different schedules. Participants will be tested to see if their tumours lack the main DNA repair pathway (those who are predicted to have a better response to this drug). Finally, the drug will be given to patients with advanced cancer who require a course of radiotherapy for symptom control - the drug will be tested at different doses and with different doses of radiotherapy. Side effects will be monitored and tests will establish whether the drug is enhancing the radiotherapy effect in the tumours or normal tissues.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, dose limiting toxicities, and maximum tolerated dose of CB-5083 in subjects with lymphoid hematological malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Tumor Associated Peptide Antigen (TAPA) pulsed dendritic cell (DC) vaccines in the treatment of progressive and/or refractory hematologic malignancies (HM). We hypothesize that treatment of patients with relapsed and/or refractory HM, without available potentially curative treatment options, and whose neoplastic cells express at least one (1) TAPA of a defined panel of TAPAs, using low-dose cyclophosphamide (CYP) followed by an autologous, monocyte-derived, TAPA-pulsed DC vaccine and low-dose granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), will result in TAPA-specific T-cell responses without significant toxicities. We also hypothesize CD4+ T-cell and CD8+ T-cell responses generated against specific TAPAs may translate into clinical antitumor activity.
This first in human phase 1 study of TVB-2640 is being conducted in patients with advanced stage solid malignant tumors. This research is being done to find out how safe and useful TVB-2640 is for patients who have received previous cancer therapy, and for whom no therapy exists that would be curative or might provide significant benefit. TVB-2640 belongs to a class of drugs called fatty acid synthase inhibitors (FASN inhibitors). This means that they interfere with the body's (and the tumor's) ability to use a substance called fatty acid synthase (FASN). Research has shown that some tumors appear to need FASN to keep growing.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, randomized, 2-stage crossover study consisting of 2 phases: Stage I - Pharmacokinetics (Bioequivalence), with an Extension Stage II - Pharmacokinetics (Food Effect) with an Extension This study will enroll approximately 60 subjects in stage I and 60 subjects in stage II with hematologic or solid tumor malignancies, excluding gastrointestinal tumors and tumors that have originated or metastasized to the liver for which no standard treatment exists or have progressed or recurred following prior therapy. Subjects must not be eligible for therapy of higher curative potential where an alternative treatment has been shown to prolong survival in an analogous population. Approximately 23 sites in the US and 2 in Canada will participate in this study.
To assess the safety and tolerability at increasing dose levels of PF-06647020 in patients with advanced solid tumors in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose and select the recommended Phase 2 dose.
The results of the present RCT study will add to the growing body of literature investigating the potential role of exercise as a supportive therapeutic intervention for patient with glioma.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a study drug known as LY3164530 in participants with cancer that is advanced and/or has spread to another part(s) of the body.
This clinical trial studies massage therapy in reducing chemotherapy-induced nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy) that may cause pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body in patients with gastrointestinal or breast malignancies. Massage therapy may help reduce chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy symptoms and improve quality of life.
