This Phase I study will investigate the safety of BIBW 2992 in combination with standard dose pemetrexed (500mg/m2) given on a 21 day cycle in patients with advanced solid cancers. BIBW 2992 will be given on two different dose schedules; dosing on days 1-21 and dosing on days 1 to 6 of a 21 day cycle. The use of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs), including BIBW 2992 have demonstrated efficacy in solid tumors including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, pemetrexed has demonstrated efficacy and has been approved as single agent chemotherapy in second-line NSCLC patients with adenocarcinoma. The data obtained from this trial shall allow for a conclusion as to whether BIBW 2992 may be safely administered in advanced cancer patients in combination therapy with pemetrexed.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of RGB-286638, a novel, multi-targeted kinase inhibitor, administered to patients with selected, relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Debio 0932 when administered orally, every-other-day or daily during the first 30 days, in patients with solid tumours or lymphoma.
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASG-5ME and identify the maximum tolerated dose in patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to evaluate safety and tolerability in patients with relapsed or refractory gastric adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of R331333 (referred to as JNS024 Extended-Release (ER) or CG5503) compared with an active comparator (oxycodone Controlled Release (CR)) in Japanese and Korean patients with chronic, malignant, tumor-related cancer pain.
RATIONALE: Nelfinavir mesylate and bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bortezomib may also stop the growth of hematologic cancer by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving nelfinavir mesylate together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of nelfinavir mesylate when given together with bortezomib in treating patients with relapsed or progressive advanced hematologic cancer.
RATIONALE: INCB18424 (Ruxolitinib) may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase 1 clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of INCB18424 in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumor, leukemia, or myeloproliferative disease.
Background Patients with cancer and a first deep venous thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism (venous thromboembolism, VTE) are generally treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)injections for 6 months, since this treatment is associated with a reduced incidence of recurrent VTE compared to vitamin K antagonists (VKA). It is recommended that patients with active malignancy (metastatic cancer and/or ongoing cancer treatment)continue anticoagulant treatment. However, it is unknown whether LMWH is still superior compared to VKA for the long-term anticoagulant treatment. Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate whether low-molecular-weight heparin more effectively reduces recurrent VTE compared to vitamin K antagonists in patients with cancer who have already completed 6 to 12 months of anticoagulant treatment because of deep venous thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism. Hypothesis The investigators hypothesize that LMWH is more effective compared to VKA in the long-term treatment of VTE in cancer patients who have already been treated for 6-12 months with anticoagulants. Design This is a multicenter, multinational, randomized, open label trial. Patients Patients with a malignancy (all types, solid and hematological) who have received 6-12 months of anticoagulation for VTE and have an indication for continuing anticoagulation, will be randomly assigned to six additional months of LMWH or VKA. LMWH will be administered in a weight-adjusted scheme, with 65-75% of therapeutic doses. All types of LMWH and VKA are allowed, as long as weight adjusted dosing is possible for LMWH. The target INR will be 2.0-3.0. The primary efficacy outcome is symptomatic recurrent VTE, i.e. deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding. Sample size A total of 65 to 87 recurrent VTE events are needed to show a 50% reduction with LMWH as compared to VKA (type I error 0.05, two-sided, power respectively 80 and 90%). To observe 75 events, with a 10% event rate per half year in the VKA arm and 5% in the LMWH arm a total of 1000 patients will need to be included. Organisation Outcomes will be adjudicated by a central adjudication committee. A steering committee will be formed, preferably consisting of one member of every participating center. An electronic case report form will be used for data collection. Also, an electronic trial master file will be used.
This open-label, randomized, cross-over study will evaluate the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of single oral doses of RO5045337 in patients with solid tumors. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3 weeks.
