Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel for the treatment of gastric or gastroesophageal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
Background: Three-fourths of people diagnosed with gastric cancer will die from it. Researchers want to see if giving cancer drugs in a new way can help people live longer and delay the time it takes for the cancer to grow. Objective: To find a better way to treat advanced stomach cancer. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with stomach cancer that has spread throughout their belly. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Scans Cancer sample: If they do not have one, they will have a biopsy. Tests of performance of normal activities Dietary assessment Participants will have a laparoscopy. Small cuts are made into their abdomen. A thin camera with a light is inserted. Small instruments are used to take biopsies. This will be repeated during the study to monitor the cancer. During the first laparoscopy, a port with a catheter attached will be put into the abdomen. Participants may also have an endoscopy: A thin tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach. The tube collects samples to monitor the cancer. Participants will get paclitaxel every 3 weeks through the abdominal port and through a small plastic tube in an arm vein. They will also take capecitabine by mouth twice daily for the first 15 days of a 21-day cycle. After participants finish 3 cycles, they will have scans to see how they are doing. They may get another course of therapy. Participants will have visits every 3 weeks during treatment. Then they will have follow-up visits for 5 years. Then they will keep in touch with researchers for the rest of their life.
RAD-18-001 is a First-In-Man, Dose Escalation study conducted at 2 sites. The dose escalation will be performed based on a 3 + 3 design. Increasing dose levels starting at 1 MBq will be followed by 2, 4 and 7 MBq. If the highest dose level of 7 MBq is reached without Dose Limiting Toxicicities (which will stop the dose escalation), this will be the recommended dose for further exploration. Each subject will be followed until disease progression (in the abdominal cavity), or for 24 months after the administration of Radspherin® (whichever comes first). In the expansion cohort the subject will receive the recommended dose. The expansion cohort will be conducted at 4 sites. Each subject will be followed until disease progression (in the abdominal cavity), or for 24 months after the administration of Radspherin® (whichever comes first).
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of nivolumab with or without ipilimumab in treating patients with female reproductive cancer that has come back (recurrent) or is high grade and has spread extensively throughout the peritoneal cavity (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
A randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial was performed, in 32 patients diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis from epithelial ovarian cancer, who underwent radical surgery-peritonectomy, achieving an optimal R0-R1 cytoreduction (microscopic tumor residues (R0) or macroscopic tumor residues < 1cm (R1)) followed by hyperthermia against normothermia intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy with paclitaxel
