Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to evaluate 68Ga-DOTA TATE PET/CT for staging and monitoring response to chemotherapy in patients with carcinoid, neuroendocrine tumors, medullary thyroid cancer and other cancers expressing somatostatin receptors.
The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of CXD101 (a novel histone deacetylase inhibitor) that can be safely administered to patients with advanced tumours. The study will also investigate the use of HR23B expression in tumour as a biomarker of response to treatment with CXD101. Patients with solid tumours, lymphoma and myeloma can be considered for this study.
DM-CHOC-PEN is a polychlorinated pyridine cholesteryl carbonate that has demonstrated antineoplastic activities in human xenograft intracerebrally implanted tumor mouse models, acceptable preclinical toxicities in mouse, rat and dog models; and no behavioral cognitive impairment/neurotoxicities were noted in mouse and rat models. The drug is ready for human use as an soy bean oil/lecithin/glycerin water emulsion, the latter which has been documented - chemically and biologically to be stable and safe. Patients are currently being enrolled and treated with the protocol. Patients with advanced cancer, with or without central nervous system involvement will be eligible for enrollment, providing the required blood and other eligibility requirements are met.
- This was the first study where BAY1163877 was given to humans. Impact of the study was to evaluate if patients with advanced solid cancers show advanced clinical benefit under the treatment with the pan FGFR inhibitor. Patients (all comers) received the study drug treatment in a dose-escalation scheme (no placebo group) to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BAY1163877. The relative bioavailability of liquid service formulation and tablets was determined. - After the MTD was defined patients with solid tumors (all comers), lung cancer (lung adenocarcinoma & squamous non-small cell lung cancer), head and neck cancer or bladder cancer was enrolled according to their FGFR expression profile (biomarker stratification). - The study also assessed the pharmacokinetics, biomarker status, pharmacodynamic parameters and tumor response of BAY1163877. - BAY1163877 was given twice daily as oral application. Treatment was stopped if the tumor continued to grow, if side effects, which the patient cannot tolerate, occurred or if the patient decided to exit treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of azurin-derived cell-penetrating peptide p28 (p28) in treating patients with recurrent or progressive central nervous system tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azurin-derived cell-penetrating peptide p28, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether anesthesia maintained with propofol results in better one- and five-year-survival than anesthesia maintained with sevoflurane.
This study will evaluate the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities of vemurafenib and/or cobimetinib when used with onartuzumab in cancer patients.
To establish safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of regorafenib and cetuximab in combination, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D)
Prostate cancer patients receiving hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy, or ADT) are at increased risk of developing bone loss and osteoporosis as side effects. To prevent this, guidelines recommend participation in healthy bone behaviours including weight-bearing exercise and adequate calcium/vitamin D intake. However, prior studies have shown that patients are not regularly screened or counselled regarding healthy bone behaviours while receiving ADT. Maintaining bone health in prostate cancer patients is important because men on ADT are at increased risk of fractures. In this study, the investigators will examine whether an intervention designed to improve healthy bone behaviours among prostate cancer patients on ADT can be implemented. The intervention consists of a written "healthy bones prescription", brief verbal counseling, and printed educational materials for participants. Investigators hope to obtain an initial estimate of whether the intervention works. They also hope to show that this simple intervention can be implemented in a real, working cancer clinic. The investigators hypothesize that an intervention to improve bone health in prostate cancer patients receiving ADT (healthy bones prescription, verbal counseling, and printed educational materials) is effective, implementable, and accepted by clinicians and patients.
In this study, the investigators assessed whether intraoperative Intraportal infusion of 5-FU and oxaliplatin is able to prevent liver metastasis in patients receiving curative colorectal cancer resection.
