Filter by:This is a Phase I, open label, dose escalation study of oral administration of MLN0128 in combination with paclitaxel, with/without trastuzumab, in participants with advanced solid malignancies.
This is a research study involving the treatment of patients with hematological cancers with allogeneic (cells from a donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). HSCT is often referred to as bone marrow transplant. Patients who are not expected to have long term survival after conventional therapy will undergo HSCT as a curative therapy after receiving front line therapy for their disease. This project is based on an HSCT approach that has been used at TJU since 2006 with the goal of optimizing this type of treatment further. In this new study, the investigators will substitute the chemotherapy agent, Melphalan (Mel), for cyclophosphamide (CY). Cyclophosphamide was used in the original trial. The research question is whether side effects are less using Mel and if donor T cells can be made tolerant to the recipient with the use of Mel. The proposed study is also more specific in terms of performance status and organ function entry criterion. The investigators observed in the original trial that patients with poor performance upon admission for transplant did not have as good outcomes. Because many older patients are treated according to this type of transplant, the chemotherapy and radiation used are less intensive than other types of transplant. The name for this in the transplant field is a reduced intensity hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The abbreviations most used in this document are RIC for reduced intensity conditioning, HSCT which refers to the transplant itself, and MEL which refers to the drug, Melphalan.
It is hypothesized that engraftment when administering cyclophosphamide post the stem cell infusion will increase, the incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and day 100 mortality will decrease, and the use of cyclophosphamide post stem cell infusion with alternative donors will be as safe and as effective as traditional matched transplants.
Background: - Tumors of the adrenal gland are common. Most of them are not cancerous. However, there are no tests that can accurately tell which adrenal tumors are cancerous and which are not. The only way to tell is to remove the tumor with surgery and then examine it. Researchers have been using new methods to study samples of adrenal tissue. These methods may help identify whether the cells are or may become cancerous without an operation. This information will help doctors determine which tumors will need to be removed. Objectives: - To collect adrenal tumor tissue biopsy samples in order to study and evaluate new methods that may help identify cancerous or precancerous cells. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have an adrenal tumor that may or may not be cancerous. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical examination, medical history, blood and urine tests, and imaging studies. - Participants will be examined to determine whether they have a specific type of adrenal tumor (pheochromocytoma). - Participants whose tumor does not secrete hormones will have a tumor biopsy to collect tissue for study. - Participants who have a large tumor or one that secretes hormones will have standard surgery to remove the tumor. Tissue will be collected for study. - Researchers will examine the collected tissue. They will try to determine whether the cells are cancerous or may become cancerous. - Participants will be asked to return to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center every year for about 5 years. During these visits they will have imaging studies, lab tests, and a physical examination.
This open-label phase I dose escalation trial, 1230.15, is the first trial with Volasertib in Japanese advanced cancer patients. The trial will investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of this specific polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) inhibitor in advanced cancer patients.
After the fourth protocol amendment two study arms are evaluated in this clinical protocol: PD-0325901 (oral MEK inhibitor) plus PF-05212384 (intravenous PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) and PF-05212384 plus irinotecan. The study will assess safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these combinations in patients with advanced cancer. Once the maximum tolerated doses are identified, further assessment of these combinations will be done in patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal or pancreatic cancer for the PF-05212384 plus irinotecan arm and in patients with ovarian cancer or KRAS mutated non small cell lung cancer for the combination of PF-05212384 plus PD-0325901.
A dose escalation study to establish the safety profile and characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of IMC-CS4 in the treatment of subjects with advanced solid tumors refractory to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available.
RATIONALE: Acupressure wristbands may prevent or reduce nausea and caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether standard care is more effective with or without acupressure wristbands in controlling acute and delayed nausea. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well acupressure wristbands work with or without standard care in controlling nausea in young patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
This is an open-label Phase 1 dose escalation study of OMP-18R5 in subjects with a solid tumor for which there is no remaining standard curative therapy and no therapy with a demonstrated survival benefit. Up to 44 subjects will be enrolled at up to 2 centers. Subjects will be assessed for safety, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, and efficacy. No formal interim analyses will be performed. Prior to enrollment, subjects will undergo screening to determine study eligibility. Upon enrollment, subjects will receive intravenous (IV) infusions of OMP-18R5 at a assigned dosing schedule for 56 days. After 56 days, subjects will be assessed for disease status. If there is no evidence of disease progression or if the tumor is smaller, then subjects may continue to receive IV infusions of OMP-18R5 every week until disease progression. Dose escalation will be conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). No dose escalation or reduction will be allowed within a dose cohort. The first 2 subjects enrolled in a cohort will not be treated on the same day. The dose may be administered at any time during the day. Three subjects will be treated at each dose level if no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed. If 1 of 3 subjects experiences a DLT, that dose level will be expanded to 6 subjects. If 2 or more subjects experience a DLT, no further subjects will be dosed at that level and 3 additional subjects will be added to the preceding dose cohort unless 6 subjects have already been treated at that dose level. Subjects will be assessed for DLTs from the time of the first dose through 28 days. Dose escalation for newly enrolled subjects, if appropriate, will occur after all subjects in a cohort have completed their Day 28 DLT assessment. Subjects with stable disease or a response at Day 56 will be allowed to continue to receive weekly doses of OMP-18R5 until disease progression. An additional 14 subjects will be enrolled at the highest dose level that result in < 2 of the 6 subjects experiencing a Grade 3 (not including a Grade 3 infusion reaction that resolves in 24 hours) or 4 adverse event (DLT).
The purpose of this study is to determine if denosumab is non-inferior to zoledronic acid in the treatment of bone disease from multiple myeloma.
