Filter by:The Engagement of Patients with Advanced Cancer is an intervention that utilizes well-trained lay health coaches to engage patients and their families in goals of care and shared decision-making after a diagnosis of advanced cancer. Although lay health workers have never been tested in this role, we hypothesize that lay health workers can feasibly improve goals of care documentation and help to reduce unwanted healthcare utilization at the end of life for Veterans diagnosed with new advanced stages of cancer and those diagnosed with recurrent disease.
A First-in-Human (FIH) study of TAS-116 in patients with advanced solid tumors was first initiated in Japan in April 2014 and has been ongoing since then. The study consists of a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase. Three dosing regimens of TAS-116, once daily (QD), every other day (QOD) and 5 days on/2 days off regimens in 21-day cycles, are being evaluated. This phase I study is also planned to enroll patients with advanced solid tumors in UK to confirm the MTD, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TAS-116 in a Western patient population in the dose expansion phase. In addition, patients with HER2+ MBC, NSCLC harboring EGFR mutations or NSCLC harbouring ALK translocations will be further evaluated for safety, tolerability, and efficacy in 3 separate cohorts at recommended dose of TAS-116 on the 5 days on/2 days off regimen.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well whole-neck computed tomography perfusion scans work in imaging patients with head and neck tumors. Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as whole-neck computed tomography perfusions scans, may provide more information about the blood supply to head and neck tumors which may help doctors plan better treatment.
The goal of this research study is to learn how patients feel about their doctors' attitudes toward supportive care and treatment options for advanced cancer patients.
OPTIFIL is a pilot prospective multicenter study based over the hypothesis that the normalization of the functional imaging 18F-FDG-PET/CT during the Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) could occur earlier than that of conventional imaging. This study evaluates the therapeutic response through a systematic 18F-FDG-PET/CT at week 6. The latter response will be correlated with the kinetics of selected biomarkers including antigens (galactomannan, β-D glucans), circulating Aspergillus DNA and anti-Aspergillus host response markers in addition to the conventional imaging tools obtained at weeks 6 and 12.
This is an open-label, Phase I, dose-escalation study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RPTD), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ABBV-428 when administered as monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors.
The main objective of the dose-escalation part of the trial is to determine the safety and tolerability, and to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose and/or the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of BI 754091 on the basis of patients with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with selected advanced solid malignancies. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by monitoring the occurrence of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAE), and laboratory parameter abnormalities, as well as changes to vital signs. Secondary objectives are the determination of the PK profile of BI 754091 after single and multiple doses of BI 754091, and the preliminary assessment of antitumour activity. In the dose-expansion part of the trial, the main objectives are to further assess the safety, efficacy, PK profile, and biomarkers of BI 754091 in tumours with specific tumour types and/or genetic mutations at the RP2D.
This clinical trial studies how well a checklist tool works in engaging patients in the discharge planning process. Engaging patients in the discharge process may increase participation in the discharge process and improve discharge outcomes, understanding of care after hospitalization, and decrease complications.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of ixazomib and erlotinib that can be given to patients with advanced solid tumors. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Erlotinib is FDA approved and commercially available to treat non-small cell lung cancer, but its use in advanced solid cancer is considered investigational. Ixazomib is FDA approved. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 36 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of IBI308 monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy in patients with certain types of advanced solid tumors. Another purpose is to determine the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of IBI308.
