Filter by:RATIONALE: Everolimus and vatalanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving everolimus together with vatalanib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus and vatalanib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of irinotecan when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
This is a phase 1 clinical trial designed to evaluate increasing durations of MLN8054 oral dosing in patients with advanced malignancies. MLN8054 will be given once daily for 4 to 7 consecutive days per week for 2 to 3 weeks. Following the 2- to 3-week treatment period there will be a 2 week recovery period.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether S-1 is effective as 2nd line therapy in slowing tumor activity in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have previously received 1st line treatment with a gemcitabine regimen. The study is also looking at the safety of S-1.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict whether patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant will develop acute graft-versus-host disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying T cells to see how well they help in predicting acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant.
This is a multicenter, dose escalation, phase 1 study of MLN8237 in adult participants with advanced malignancies (excluding those with primary bone marrow involvement, such as leukemias and multiple myeloma).
This purpose of the study is to determine what dose of JNJ-38877605 is safe and if JNJ-38877605 has any effect in patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors for which there are not alternative therapies.
This Phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ABT-888 when given together with Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) in treating patients with brain metastases.
This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) activity of adavosertib, both as monotherapy and in combination with gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin in participants with advanced solid tumors. Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of adavosertib in combination with gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin will also be assessed. The primary hypotheses of the study are as follows: 1) Oral administration of adavosertib both as monotherapy and in combination with either gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors will be safe and tolerable, 2) The side effects observed in participants with advanced solid tumors after administration of adavosertib combined with each of the chemotherapies (gemcitabine, cisplatin and carboplatin) will allow for the definition of a single dose combination Maximum Administered Dose (MAD)/Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and a multiple dose combination Biologically Effective Dose (BED)/MTD for each of the 3 combinations, 3) At a tolerated dose, adavosertib plasma exposure will exceed target thresholds established in preclinical models, and 4) At a tolerated dose, PD markers of adavosertib activity in combination with either gemcitabine, cisplatin, or carboplatin (in surrogate tissue and/or tumor) will meet or exceed the target threshold established in preclinical models.
Hsp90 is a chemical in the body that is involved in promotion of cancer. SNX-5422 is an experimental drug that blocks Hsp90. It is being evaluated for safety and efficacy in patients with cancer.
