Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of R1507 in combination with 12 distinct standard chemotherapy drug regimens and an additional R1507 monotherapy arm in patients with advanced malignant neoplasms.The 12 regimens will be tested in parallel. There are 3 subsets of patients who are eligible for the study: untreated, treated and requiring further treatment, or treated and failed and for whom adding R1507 represents a suitable treatment for their disease. All regimens will first test doses of R1507 which are less than the maximally administered dose, and if tolerated, the dose will be escalated in subsequent patients. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This is a multi-center, open-label non-randomized dose-escalation trial of vorinostat given in combination with vinorelbine. Cohorts will be treated with a fixed dose of vinorelbine (25mg/m²/week continuously, representing the schedule that has been approved). Patients eligible will be enrolled into a standard 3+3 design with a starting dose of vorinostat at 200 mg po qd 7/21 (weekly schedule). Then, further dose levels will be explored. Toxicity of the schedule will be assessed during the first cycle. Patients may receive up to 6 cycles of study medication. Blood samples will be collected at specified time points to assess pharmacokinetic endpoints.
RATIONALE: Giving total marrow and total lymph node irradiation together with low doses of chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of total marrow and total lymph node irradiation when given together with fludarabine and melphalan followed by donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced hematological cancer that has not responded to treatment.
The purpose of this study is to collect information from the questionnaire and your medical records to see what effects the proton radiation has on you and your cancer and collect and analyze morbidity outcomes: Incidence of xerostomia (dry mouth) and tumor control.
RATIONALE: Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving dasatinib together with ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of dasatinib when given together with ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide and to see how well they work in treating young patients with metastatic or recurrent malignant solid tumors.
To learn whether or not an Interferon defect in cell signaling, recently discovered in immune cells from melanoma patients as well as breast cancer patients, is common to all cancers.
To determine whether biomarkers assessed in blood samples can be used to detect individuals at risk for developing blood clots or worsening of their underlying disease. The ultimate goal of the study is to identify key biomarkers derived from blood that are most characteristic and informative of individuals who will go on to develop a clotting complication.
Expand clinical literature on the use of Grid radiation with conventional external beam therapy. Vast majority of therapy is for palliative care to provide relief from pain, but has also shown a reduction in the size of tumor mass.
This is a Phase II open-label exploratory trial of BIBW 2992 administered to patients with tumors of various histologies found to possess EGFR and/or HER2 gene amplification, or EGFR activating mutations.
This study will confirm safety and tolerability and determine the MTD of BGT226 in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumor.
