Filter by:Phase I: Determine the maximum tolerated dose of combination of Regorafenib with Refametinib through a dose escalation study, all tumor types that meet certain inclusion/exclusion criteria can be entered. After the recommended dose is determined, the Phase II portion of the study will evaluate tolerability and efficacy of the combination treatment in patients with breast cancer, lung cancer, or colorectal cancer, respectively.
The main objectives of this study are to determine the safety profile of briciclib, an experimental anti-cancer drug, as it is administered intravenously once weekly as escalating doses in adult patients with advanced cancer and solid tumors, and to determine the highest dose of briciclib that can be safely given. Secondary objectives are to determine how the amount of briciclib in circulation changes over time and how much briciclib gets into the urine for excretion, and to document potential anti-tumor effects of briciclib.
This pilot clinical trial studies fluorine F 18 fluorothymidine (FLT) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in measuring cell proliferation in patients with brain tumors. Comparing results of diagnostic procedures done before, during, and after treatment may help doctors measure tumor growth and plan the best treatment.
As human aging, 50% of women will be faced with the threat of cancer, especially gynecological malignancies. Ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer are three major gynecological malignancies. In recent years, the incidence of cervical cancer, especially in young women significantly increased; ovarian cancer, although the incidence of malignant tumors in the female reproductive system ranked second, but its mortality rate already in the first place; and the morbidity and mortality of endometrial cancer is also rising. The key to gynecologic malignancies is how to early diagnose and treat. With the advancement of science and technology, such as molecular biology techniques widely used in the medical field, early diagnosis, proper treatment and other aspects in gynecologic malignancies is expected to achieve a breakthrough. Genome-wide scan strategy, making the whole genome for linkage analysis for gynecological malignancies possible. Therefore, the investigators intend to find specific mutations to provide a new early screening approach for gynecological malignancies, which in later result in early diagnosis and specific treatment for gynecological malignant tumors.
This study will be with pediatric patients who have refractory/recurrent solid tumors. They will receive standard chemotherapy (ICE) and we are investigating if the addition of a new drug, ODSH, will help to increase the time of their platelet recovery after ICE chemotherapy.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ODSH in pediatric patients receiving "ICE" chemotherapy.
The elderly comprise the most prevalent population in oncology practice. The available evidence suggests that old patients are undertreated patients, mainly because of their advanced age, regardless of whether they are highly functional patients, they do not present co morbidities and could benefit from oncology therapies. Treatment planning must consider several health indices that are useful when it comes to detecting geriatric problems that could affect the patient's treatment experience. The complete comprehensive geriatric evaluation stands out as cornerstone among other validated tools that do not work as isolated instruments; however, its length and complexity may hinder its routine use in clinical practice for decision making. The purpose of this study is to validate a comprehensive health status assessment scale in elderly patients (≥65 years) with hematological malignancies that, while integrating the essential dimensions of geriatric assessment and, with the same precision as the currently available valid tools, is shorter and easier to apply, so it can be incorporated into the daily practice and that aids in clinical decision making objectively. If so, this information would help identify patients that could benefit from a specific oncology treatment, thus contributing to developing a targeted intervention plan and to optimizing the cancer results in this patient population.
The goal of this laboratory research study is to collect and analyze treatment, molecular profiling and biomarker data. The results of the data analysis will be used to better understand how to characterize tumors and identify therapies that may be tailored to individual patients and to identify and/or predict side effects that may occur and/or predict which therapies may be best for participants. Research may also be done on your existing tissue to identify new biomarkers.
The purpose of this signal seeking study was to determine whether treatment with BGJ398 demonstrates sufficient efficacy in select FGFR pathway-regulated solid tumors and/or hematologic malignancies to warrant further study.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of sapanisertib and ziv-aflibercept in treating patients with solid tumors that have come back (recurrent) and have spread to another place in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Sapanisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Ziv-aflibercept may stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving sapanisertib with ziv-aflibercept may kill more tumor cells.
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer and the 5th leading cause of cancer death in women. Most patients are typically diagnosed with advanced-stage disease. Platinum-paclitaxel regimen has been widely adopted as a standard first-line treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. Multiple collaborative randomised phase III trials evaluating the addition of a third chemotherapy agent, maintenance therapy or alternative taxanes failed to demonstrate significant improvements over a standard carboplatin/taxane doublet. Decitabine (DAC), one major DNA demethylating agent, has been approved for treatment of preleukemic hematological disease myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) by the Food and Drug Administration. Past trials of these with high doses, i.e., the use of maximal tolerated dose, for patients with solid tumors showed a low therapeutic index, due to extreme toxicities that have probably confounded the ability to document the true clinical response. Low dose DNA demethylation agent decitabine (DAC) can resensitize the therapeutic indexes of resistent ovary cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. The investigators hypothesized that DAC-triggered epigenetic reprogramming of tumor cells and possible immune cells could induce pronounced long-dated clinical effect by chemosensitization- and immunopotentiation-driven maximal eradicating roles on the minimal/residual lesions in primary patients with poor prognosis.
