Filter by:Assess the clinical activity of MAC-321 administered IV as a second-line or third-line antineoplastic agent to subjects with advanced colorectal cancer. Clinical activity will be assessed by determining the percentage of subjects exhibiting an objective response (complete plus partial responses). Tumor response will be assessed following modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines.
The purpose of this study is to determine the progression-free survival obtained with cetuximab (C225)/paclitaxel/carboplatin in subjects with newly diagnosed advanced stage ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
To evaluate the preliminary activity and pharmacokinetics of 2 separate doses and schedules of orally administered Temsirolimus (CCI-779) given in combination with daily letrozole, compared to letrozole alone, in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women. All patients must be appropriate to receive endocrine therapy as treatment for advanced disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy ofKarenitecin (BNP1350) as a treatment of adults with brain tumors.
RATIONALE: Antibiotics such as amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, and moxifloxacin may be effective in preventing or controlling fever and neutropenia in patients with cancer. It is not yet known whether moxifloxacin alone is more effective than amoxicillin combined with ciprofloxacin in treating neutropenia and fever. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well moxifloxacin works and compares it to ciprofloxacin together with amoxicillin in treating neutropenia and fever in patients with cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest dose of Tezacitabine (FMdC) which can be safely given as a continuous infusion by vein to patients with hematologic malignancies. The general safety and effectiveness of this drug will also be studied.
This phase I trial is studying how well ipilimumab works after allogeneic stem cell transplant in treating patients with persistent or progressive cancer. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation or autologous bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well eight different high-dose chemotherapy regimens with or without total-body irradiation followed by autologous stem cell transplantation or autologous bone marrow transplantation works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors.
The purpose of this study will be to determine the safety and tolerability of intratumoral M4N. Patients suffering from cancer of the head and neck that is recurrent after primary treatment with surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy may be eligible. The design is a Phase 1 dose escalation study of M4N administered intratumorally once weekly, initially for three weeks. Dose will be escalated on the starting schedule to a target of 20 mg/cm3 tumor volume and then, new patient cohorts will have their schedule extended to weekly M4N for 4 weeks. Dose escalation will continue, assuming tolerability, so that cohorts will be treated for 6 weeks, and finally, 8 weeks.
This clinical research study is being conducted to investigate the effectiveness of combining carboplatin and irinotecan, versus irinotecan alone, in treating children who have refractory solid tumors.
