Filter by:This study will compare the anti-tumor efficacy of apricoxib and gemcitabine/erlotinib with placebo and gemcitabine/erlotinib in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
This research study is for individuals who have advanced breast, colon, pancreatic, ovarian or bladder cancer. Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. is testing a form of immune therapy (vaccine) to see if it can be used to make the immune system attack the cancer. The study includes administration of additional treatments, in combination, thought to enhance the immune response effect. (CDX 1307-01)
RATIONALE: Sorafenib and pemetrexed may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib together with pemetrexed and cisplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib when given together with pemetrexed and cisplatin in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
This study tests the combination of two targeted therapies,along with chemotherapy treatment in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that did not respond to first-line therapy with gemcitabine.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, proton radiation and chemotherapy has on you and your pancreatic cancer.
RATIONALE: A disease management program may be more effective than standard therapy in improving quality of life and controlling symptoms in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying a disease management program to see how well it works compared with usual care in patients with stage III or stage IV lung cancer, stage III or stage IV pancreatic cancer, stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer, or stage III or stage IV colorectal cancer, and their caregivers.
Feasibility and efficacy of combined modality intervention using chemotherapeutic agent gemcitabine with anti-angiogenic peptide vaccination targeting VRGFR1 should be determined in case of advanced/inoperable or therapy-resistant pancreatic cancer patients. Gemcitabine 1,000mg/m2 BSA will be administered on day1, day8, day15, day29, day36, day43, respectively. HLA-A*2402-restricted VEGFR1-derived peptide (VEGFR1-A24-1084; SYGVLLWEI) emulsified with Montanide ISA51 will be subcutaneously injected twice weekly for 8weeks (total 16 doses).
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, and no combination therapy is far superior to gemcitabine alone. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor type 1 (VEGFR1) is expressed on the tumor vessels and a candidate of tumor vessel-specific peptide vaccination strategy to induce T cell immune response. We conducted the study to confirm the safety and efficacy of combined modality intervention using conventional dose of gemcitabine with peptide vaccination targeting tumor-vessel specific VEGFR1 in case of advanced/inoperable or therapy-resistant pancreatic cancer patients. Gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m^2 (body surface area) will be administered on day 1, day 8, day 15, day 29, day 36, and day 43, respectively. VEGFR1-derived HLA-A*02:01-restricted peptide (VEGFR1-A02-770; TLFWLLLTL) emulsified with Montanide ISA51 will be subcutaneously injected twice weekly for 8 weeks (total 16 doses).
The purpose of this study is to define th Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the recommended dose (RD) of ZD6474 in combination with a fixed standard dose of gemcitabine and capecitabine
