Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of VB6-845 and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VB6-845 when administered as a monotherapy IV infusion to patients with advanced solid tumour of epithelial origin.
This phase II trial is studying how well trastuzumab works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic gallbladder cancer or bile duct cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation and safety expansion, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinectics and to investigate biomarker changes of AZD7762 administered as a single intravenous unit and in combination with irinotecan. The study is sponsored by AstraZeneca.
Besides liver transplantation, the curative treatment of primary hepatic cancer with cirrhosis remains the surgical resection. Radiofrequency or cryotherapy currently allow local ablation of small cancer, with very good results. However, all these treatments are followed by high rates of recurrence (50 - 70% at 5 years). Then, it seems essential to associate to the surgical resection or to the local ablation as "adjuvant" treatment, in order to prevent or to decrease the rate of recurrence. However, no evidence supports this attitude. Therefore, following curative treatment of primary hepatic cancer with cirrhosis, we propose to compare treated to untreated patients. Postoperative treatment means either intra-arterial chemotherapy or systemic chemotherapy. The main criterion of the study is time of survival without recurrence. The main secondary objective is the safety.
To evaluate the effects of patupilone on the pharmacokinetics of warfarin in patients with advanced malignancies.
RATIONALE: Zoledronic acid may help decrease the risk of broken bones, bone pain, and other symptoms caused by bone metastases. It may also help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying different schedules of zoledronic acid to compare how well they work in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to the bone.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving pentostatin with alemtuzumab can help to control T-cell malignancy. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied.
Background: - Vandetanib is a drug that attacks a group of proteins on the surface of many cells, especially blood vessel cells and tumor cells. - Tumors require the development of new blood vessels in order to grow and spread. - In laboratory experiments, vandetanib slowed the growth of certain tumors and regulated their blood vessel growth. - In early clinical trials, some patients' tumors did not grow for a period of time while they were receiving vandetanib. Objectives: - To determine whether vandetanib can cause tumors to shrink or stabilize in some patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. - To determine, by tumor biopsy, if features of the tumor change with vandetanib treatment may predict if the tumor will likely respond to vandetanib. Eligibility: - Women 18 years of age and older with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer that does not respond to standard treatment. Design: - Patients take vandetanib daily, by mouth in 28-day cycles until their disease worsens or they develop unacceptable side effects. - Tumor biopsies (surgical removal of a sample of tumor tissue) are done before starting vandetanib treatment and after 6 weeks of treatment. - Patients are followed in the clinic every 4 weeks during treatment for a physical examination, blood tests, and review of laboratory studies and side effects. - Patients have a computed tomography (CT) scan every 8 weeks to monitor tumor growth and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before starting vandetanib treatment, on the third day after taking vandetanib and 6 weeks into treatment. - Patients quality of life is assessed with regularly scheduled questionnaires.
To determine the overall safety of PF-00477736 when given in combination with gemcitabine, a chemotherapy agent, in patients with advanced solid tumors and determine the maximum dose of PF-00477736 that can be safely given in combination with gemcitabine. This is the first study of PF-00477736 in humans.
Primary Objectives: The primary objectives of this study are to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety of atiprimod when given in doses starting at 60 mg/day and ranging to 360 mg/day, or the MTD, whichever is lower, in patients with advanced cancer. Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of this study are to measure the pharmacokinetics of atiprimod and to evaluate the efficacy of atiprimod treatment in patients with advanced cancer, and to compare the pharmacokinetics of atiprimod tablets and capsules at the starting dose, with the intent of switching to capsules for the dose escalation if the capsules pose no safety issues.
