Filter by:This Phase 1 study will be conducted in an open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation design in subjects with advanced, metastatic or refractory solid malignancy who are not candidates for standard therapy. The study drugs are sorafenib and eribulin mesylate. Up to 24 subjects with solid tumors will participate in the dose escalation part of the study, and once the maximum tolerated dose is defined, up to 30 subjects with advanced, metastatic or refractory solid tumors will participate in the expansion phase of the study. Eribulin (mesylate) will be administered intravenously at a fixed dose of 1.4 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 of 21-day Cycles. The starting sorafenib dose (Dose Level 1) is 200 mg twice daily. Sorafenib is given orally, continuously on days 11 to 21 of Cycle 1, and from Day 1 to Day 21 of all subsequent cycles. If 200 mg sorafenib twice daily is tolerated with eribulin, the sorafenib dose will be escalated sequentially to 200 mg morning dose and 400 mg evening dose (Dose Level 2) in a new cohort. If Dose Level 2 is tolerated, a second dose escalation to 400 mg twice daily (Dose Level 3) will be studied in a new cohort. If the starting dose of sorafenib is not tolerated with eribulin, the sorafenib dose will be de-escalated to 200 mg once daily in a new cohort. Subjects will need to receive two cycles of eribulin plus sorafenib therapy and safety data for the first and second cycle needs to be available before the start of the next cohort.
The purpose of this trial is to study the mass balance, pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety of belinostat following IV administration in patients with a recurrent or progressive malignancy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vandetanib and everolimus when given together in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Vandetanib and everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The goal of Part I of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of TPI 287 that can be given with bevacizumab to patients with glioblastoma. The goal of Part II is to learn if TPI 287 when given with bevacizumab can help to control glioblastoma better than when bevacizumab is given alone. The safety of the drug combination will also be studied. TPI 287 is similar to a type of chemotherapy drug called a taxane and is designed to block a protein (tubulin) that helps the cancer cells divide. By blocking the tubulin, the drug may be able to cause the cancer cells to shrink or stop growing. Bevacizumab is designed to prevent or slow down the growth of cancer cells by blocking the growth of blood vessels.
Background: - PU-H71 is an experimental drug used to treat cancer. It works by blocking a protein in tumors. When this protein is blocked, it affects other proteins inside the cell that cancers need to grow. Researchers want to study whether PU-H71 is a safe and effective way to treat solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PU-H71 in solid tumors and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that have not responded to standard treatments. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that have not responded to standard treatments. Design: - Patients will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood tests, and imaging studies. - Patients will receive PU-H71 as a 1-hour dose on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle of treatment. The first treatment cycle will be done in the hospital so that patients can be monitored. The next treatment cycles will be done on an outpatient basis. - Patients will have blood and urine tests and eye exams. - Patients will provide tumor samples for study. - Patients will have imaging studies to monitor tumor response to treatment. - Patients will continue to take PU-H71 for as long as side effects remain tolerable and their tumor or lymphoma does not worsen. Study researchers may adjust the dose if needed.
Patients with chronic hepatitis B who are undergoing anticancer chemotherapy are at risk of HBV reactivation and hepatitis flare. Lamivudine (LAM) prophylaxis has been recommended in such circumstance according to the practice guidelines despite of limited evidence. However, failure of LAM prophylaxis including virologic breakthrough and withdrawal hepatitis occurs occasionally, which may lead to liver-related morbidity and mortality as well as premature interruption or a delay of chemotherapy. Given relatively frequent drug resistance of LAM, studies on the proper prophylactic antiviral regimen is warranted. The present multicenter, prospective, randomized study aims to compare the effect of entecavir (ETV) versus LAM for the prevention of HBV reactivation in HBsAg-positive patients with hematologic and oncologic malignancy undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy.
Patients with recurrent glioblastoma who are planned to receive a second course of radiation are to be included into this monocentric cohort trial. Due to multiple pre-treatments simultaneous combined positron emission tomography (PET) with O-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (FET) as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for treatment planning and follow-up imaging as it allows for a better distinction between treatment-related changes and viable tumor tissue.
This was a multicenter, stratified, open, randomized, comparator-controlled, parallel-group phase III study comparing treatment with Lutathera plus best supportive care (30 mg Octreotide LAR) to treatment with high dose (60 mg) Octreotide LAR in participants with metastasized or locally advanced, inoperable, somatostatin receptor positive, histologically proven midgut carcinoid tumours with progression despite LAR treatment.
This is an Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation, First-in-Human Study of MLN0264 in Adult Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Malignancies Expressing Guanylyl Cyclase C.
The goal of this study is two-fold: to establish a tissue banking respository (defined as blood, urine, soft tissue, tumor specimen, and normal tissue from areas surrounding tumor specimens), and to prospectively assess health related quality of life (QOL) over time in patients with a pathologically confirmed diagnosis of neoplasia receiving radiotherapy or photodynamic therapy (PDT)
