This study is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of TAK-659 in adult participants with advanced solid tumor and lymphoma malignancies. This study will be the first to administer TAK-659 to humans. The participants population during dose escalation (Part A) will consist of adults previously diagnosed with any form of a solid tumor or lymphoma for which standard, curative, or life-prolonging treatment does not exist or is no longer effective. This first-in-human (FIH) study will include 5 dose expansion cohorts in refractory and/or relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), indolent Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (iNHL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD) (Part B) following completion of dose escalation (Part A).
Genetic mutations associated with cancer are being discovered and new treatments are being created to treat people whose cancer tumors have certain genetic mutations. Genetic sequencing of a tumor can be done, and in this study that information is sent to a company called "N-of-One." They will match each patient's tumor's genetic profile to targeted therapies. The targeted therapies may be use of FDA-approved drugs, off-label use of FDA-approved drugs, or use of experimental drugs in clinical research studies open at various locations in the region. The purpose of the study is to compare the length of time it takes for a tumor to grow in people who receive the standard treatment for metastatic cancer to the length of time it takes for a tumor to grow in people who receive a drug specifically targeted for their cancer's genetic mutation. Investigators will do a kind of genetic testing called "DNA sequencing". Everyone who takes part in this trial will have genetic testing done on their cancer tumor tissue here at Dartmouth. The results of the DNA sequencing will be sent to N-of-One as noted above. The treatment participants get will depend on the results of the DNA sequencing and the availability of targeted therapies that match the genetic profile of the tumor identified by the DNA sequencing. If there is no genetic mutation that can be identified with current DNA sequencing, participants will receive the standard treatment for metastatic cancer. If there is a genetic mutation that can be identified with current DNA sequencing and a drug has been developed for this mutation, participants may be able to receive that drug. If there is more than one drug available, the participant and his/her oncologist will decide which is the best one for the participant. Because there are many drugs that may be used in this study, the investigator cannot advise in advance whether or not the drug a participant might receive has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
A phase II non randomized study evaluating the role of Androgen Receptors as Targets for therapy of pre-treated postmenopausal patients with ER/PgR-negative/AR-positive or ER and/or PgR-positive/AR-positive metastatic breast cancer. Study Design: Multicentric, Open-label not randomized trial. Description of Study Treatment: Daily oral administration of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) at the dosage of 100 mg/die in combination with a daily oral administration of anastrozole at dosage of 1 mg/die or letrozole at the dosage of 2.5 mg/die or exemestane at the dosage of 25 mg/die without interruption until discontinuation for progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity or discontinuation/withdrawal of participants from study treatment. Number of Subjects: 12 patients per group in the first step; if the number of responders is greater or equal to 2, recruitment will continue up to a total of 35 patients (per group). For the biological part, we will evaluate: 1. Correlation between AR expression and clinical and biological features (tumor size, nodal status, histotype, grading, proliferative index, ER, PgR, HER2) 2. Evaluation of AR expression on primitive and/or metastatic site in the two distinct populations of patients: ER/PgR- negative/ARpositive and ER-positive and/or PgR-positive/AR-positive 3. Evaluation of ER, PgR, HER2 expression on tumor cells of metastatic site (when it is possible) and comparison with the same features of primitive tumor. 4. CTCs analysis in term of molecular characteristics (gene expression and mutations) and functionality (vitality and tumorigenicity). 5. Prognostic and predictive role of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) evaluated at baseline before study treatment and at the moment of discontinuation of treatment.
Despite the success of anti-angiogenic therapy in multiple treatment settings, a fraction of patients are refractory to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor treatment, while the majority of patients will eventually develop evasive resistance. It is proposed that mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) and its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF or scatter factor) contribute to VEGF inhibitor resistance, such that combining a c-MET inhibitor with a VEGF inhibitor will provide additional clinical activity compared to VEGF inhibitor alone. This hypothesis will be tested using the cMET/ALK inhibitor, crizotinib, in combination with the VEGF inhibitor, axitinib.Since this will be the first study of axitinib given in combination with crizotinib, the study will primarily assess the safety and tolerability of the combination regimen.
The goal of the pilot study is to determine if a multicenter prospective cohort study of cancer patients with blood clots associated with catheters is feasible. Cancer patients with catheter-related thrombosis treated with one month of anticoagulation will be evaluated for for post-thrombotic syndrome. Laboratory biomarkers will be evaluated as predictors of recurrent thrombosis.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of heated cisplatin that can be given to patients with lung tumors. The safety of this drug will also be studied.
This is an open label, phase I/IIa, 3 x 3 dose escalation study with an initial phase I followed by a disease focused phase II. The primary objective of the phase I is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of the combinations of oral 5-azacitidine and romidepsin in patients with lymphoma. The safety and toxicity of this combination will be evaluated throughout the entire study. If the combination of oral 5-azacitidine and romidepsin is found to be feasible and an MTD is established, the phase II part of the study will be initiated. Phase II will consist of a 2 stage design of the combination of oral 5-azacitidine and romidepsin for patients with relapsed or refractory T-cell lymphomas.
Title: The role of early systematic best palliative care versus on request palliative care consultation during standard oncologic treatment for patients with advanced gastric or pancreatic cancers: a randomized, controlled, multicenter trial. Description of Study Treatment: 1. Interventional arm Patients will receive standard oncologic care and will be assigned to early systematic best palliative care. They will meet a member of the palliative care team within 2 weeks after enrolment. Thereafter, they shall be visited by a palliative care team member every 2 weeks until death. Patients assigned to this experimental arm will be evaluated if the total of palliative care visits between T0 (day of enrollment) and T1 (12±3 weeks) is ≥3. Palliative care visits and intervention has to be oriented by the General guidelines for palliative care: specific attention will be paid to assessing physical and psychosocial symptoms, establishing goals of care, assisting decision making regarding treatment, and coordinating care on the basis of the individual needs of the patients. The doctor expert in palliative care, with regular visits in the experimental arm, must be a physician dedicated full time to palliative care, that can directly prescribe drugs and other interventions, and with a particular attention to physical, psychological, and spiritual needs. Palliative care doctor must have the possibility to decide about organizational arrangements. He has to perform the palliative care visit according to Temel indications. 2. Standard arm Patients will receive standard oncologic care and will be assigned to on request palliative care consultation. They will be not scheduled to meet with the palliative care service unless a meeting will be requested by the patients, the family, or the oncologist. After the time of evaluation (T1) patients will be followed by the palliative care services as needed. Patient completes QoL (Quality of Life) and mood questionnaires at baseline and at 12 weeks ± 3. Patients will receive standard antineoplastic treatment in both arms of the study according to best clinical practice in each participating centre.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the non-inferiority of overall survival XELIRI with or without Bevacizumab compared with FOLFIRI with or without Bevacizumab as Second-line therapy in Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
