Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the usefulness of imaging with radiolabeled methionine in the evaluation of children and young adults with tumor(s). Methionine is a naturally occurring essential amino acid. It is crucial for the formation of proteins. When labeled with carbon-11 (C-11), a radioactive isotope of the naturally occurring carbon-12, the distribution of methionine can be determined noninvasively using a PET (positron emission tomography) camera. C-11 methionine (MET) has been shown valuable in the monitoring of a large number of neoplasms. Since C-11 has a short half life (20 minutes), MET must be produced in a facility very close to its intended use. Thus, it is not widely available and is produced only at select institutions with access to a cyclotron and PET chemistry facility. With the new availability of short lived tracers produced by its PET chemistry unit, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (St. Jude) is one of only a few facilities with the capabilities and interests to evaluate the utility of PET scanning in the detection of tumors, evaluation of response to therapy, and distinction of residual tumor from scar tissue in patients who have completed therapy. The investigators propose to examine the biodistribution of MET in patients with malignant solid neoplasms, with emphasis on central nervous system (CNS) tumors and sarcomas. This project introduces a new diagnostic test for the noninvasive evaluation of neoplasms in pediatric oncology. Although not the primary purpose of this proposal, the investigators anticipate that MET studies will provide useful clinical information for the management of patients with malignant neoplasms.
The primary purpose of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose(s) (MTD) of neratinib in combination with temsirolimus in subjects with solid tumors. This study will also include a preliminary evaluation of efficacy, and assessment of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the combination.
The primary purpose of this study is to prospectively determine whether capecitabine and 5-FU-induced toxicity is preventable by dose reduction prior to start of the first administration in patients heterozygous or homozygous mutant for DPYD*2A, and to determine whether this strategy is cost-effective. Secondly, an individualized treatment algorithm for capecitabine and 5-FU therapy in DPYD*2A mutant patients will be developed and the pharmacokinetic profile of capecitabine and 5-FU will be assessed.
To describe the long-term safety of deforolimus (ridaforolimus, MK-8669) in participants for whom a clinical benefit has been established in a prior parent trial (MK-8669-013, NCT00060645; MK-8669-016, NCT00112372; and MK-8669-028, NCT00704054) with deforolimus and/or in those who remain in long-term follow-up.
Evaluation of the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose and multiple doses of ONO-4538 in Japanese patients with advanced malignant solid tumors, and exploratory evaluation of the pharmacological effect and efficacy of ONO-4538.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-334543 and docetaxel (with prophylactic growth factor support). Patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in combination with docetaxel in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Patients will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well cixutumumab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, 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, multicenter, phase 1, dose escalation study of IXAZOMIB. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile, establish the maximum tolerated dose, and inform the phase 2 dose of IXAZOMIB administered intravenously in participants with nonhematologic malignancies.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti-NGF AB in cancer patients with pain due to bone metastases who participated in the double-blind Study A4091003 and who wish to receive open-label therapy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if lapatinib when given in combination with temozolomide can help to control ependymoma that has come back after treatment. The safety of this combination will also be studied.
