Filter by:The present trial will be performed according to an open design to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) by evaluation of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of volasertib in paediatric leukaemia and solid tumours in the age group 2 to less than 12 and 12 to less than 18 years. A further objective is to collect data on safety, tolerability, toxicity, efficacy (preliminary activity), pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of volasertib in paediatric cancer patients
Rare tumors are understudied, yet have the potential to shed light on vast areas of cancer research. Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, rare tumors of childhood and young adulthood, have recently been found to be associated with a lung cancer of early childhood called pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB). The cause of these ovarian tumors is unknown. DICER1 mutations are seen in the majority of children with PPB. Research shows DICER1 mutations are also seen in some patients with ovarian tumors. Like PPB, ovarian stromal tumors are highly curable when found in early stage; however, later forms of the disease are aggressive and often fatal. The International Ovarian Stromal Tumor Registry collects clinical and biologic data to understand why these tumors occur and how to treat them. Current work involves the study of the role of DICER1 and miRNA expression in ovarian stromal tumors. Understanding the clinical history, predisposing factors and DICER1 and miRNA expression in these ovarian tumors of childhood will lead to targeted screening and risk stratification for evidence-based treatment and biologically rational therapies. These efforts will improve the lives of children by increasing survival and reducing late effects. The specific goals of the International Ovarian and Testicular Stromal Tumor Registry are: 1. to understand risk factors by studying age, pathologic subtype, histopathologic features, tumor invasiveness, degree of differentiation, presence of metastasis 2. to collect information on personal and family history in order to refine the clinical characteristics of patients and families with and without germline DICER1 mutations and other genetic predisposing factors 3. to determine whether there is a pattern of gene expression or DNA alterations that correlate with predisposition to ovarian tumors, biologic behavior and clinical outcome 4. to determine optimal screening regimens 5. to use clinical data obtained through the Registry to refine treatment algorithms 6. to establish a collection of annotated biology specimens (tumor tissue and germline DNA) for future research
This trial studies hepatitis B screening strategies of new cancer patients scheduled to undergo chemotherapy. Patients with cancer and hepatitis B virus infection are at risk of reactivation of infection after chemotherapy. Hepatitis B virus infection reactivation can be prevented by starting antivirals before chemotherapy in patients who are hepatitis B virus infection positive. Hepatitis B screening may help doctors prevent the reactivation of hepatitis B virus infection after chemotherapy.
This study will examine the safety and tolerability of ladiratuzumab vedotin (LV) in patients with metastatic breast cancer. LV will be given alone or in combination with trastuzumab.
To assess the adequacy of an endometrial biopsy sample obtained using sonohysterography.
This study will evaluate safety and tolerability to estimate the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended dose of oral LCL161 in Japanese patients with advanced solid tumors.
This is a study for patients with brain tumors called astrocytic tumors. The study will enroll patients who have received standard treatment. The study will test a vaccine called ADU-623. ADU-623 has not been tested in humans before, so the goal of this study is to see if ADU-623 can be given safely to brain cancer patients and what is the better dose to give patients among the three doses that planned to be tested. This study will also evaluate the length of time before patients' cancer worsens and if ADU-623 helps patients to live longer. The study will also measure the body's immune system response to ADU-623.
Indication: Patients with advanced lymphoid malignancies in the absence of an HLA identical or mismatch donor. Objectives: Overall survival at one year. Efficacy >60%, rejection rate <20%. Inclusion criteria: Age: 18-65 years old, no sibling or unrelated donor identified, low grade non-hodgkin lymphoma in third line (who already received at least one autologous transplantation); hodgkin lymphoma in early relapse (<1 year), who received at least one autologous transplantation and sensible to chemotherapy and CLL with 17p deletion or in relapse less than 2 year after a fludarabine nbased regimen or in relapse after one autologous transplantation. Stem cell source: Two cord blood units containing both together more than 3x107 frozen nucleated cells/Kg with no more than 2 out of 6 HLA mismatches between them and with the patients.
Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 3 (HER3) expression is seen across a wide variety of solid malignancies and is associated with poor prognosis. Up-regulation of HER3 expression and activity is also associated with resistance to multiple pathway inhibitors. GSK2849330, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER3, is a new agent for subjects whose tumors express HER3. This study is a phase I, first time in human, open-label, dose escalation study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GSK2849330 in subjects with advanced HER3-positive solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 (Dose-Escalation Phase) will include dose escalation and PK/PD cohorts to evaluate safety, PK, and PD to guide selection of dose regimen(s) for Part 2. In Part 2 (Expansion Cohorts), up to 3 cohorts will be enrolled at the dose regimen(s) selected based on Part 1 data, to evaluate safety in a larger cohort of subjects at the recommended dose regimen and also to evaluate preliminary evidence of clinical benefit.
The purpose of this study is to compare whether there is a delay or prevention of recurrence or death in participants with surgically removed pancreatic cancer who then take nab-Paclitaxel in combination with gemcitabine compared to those who take gemcitabine alone.
