NCT ID: NCT01105377 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Azacitidine and Entinostat in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: April 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial is studying how well giving azacitidine together with entinostat works in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Entinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine together with entinostat may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT01037790 Completed - Clinical trials for HER2-positive Breast Cancer

Phase II Trial of the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor PD 0332991 in Patients With Cancer

Start date: October 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: PD 0332991 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well PD 0332991 works in treating patients with refractory solid tumors.

NCT ID: NCT00942266 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Vorinostat, Fluorouracil, and Leucovorin Calcium in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer That Has Not Responded to Previous Treatment

Start date: July 2009
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which dose of vorinostat is more effective when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the best dose of vorinostat to see how well it works when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

NCT ID: NCT00754494 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Erlotinib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Stage I-III Colorectal Cancer or Adenoma

Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage I-III colorectal cancer or adenoma. Erlotinib hydrochloride 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. Erlotinib hydrochloride may also stop tumors from growing or coming back

NCT ID: NCT00645710 Completed - Liver Metastases Clinical Trials

Hepatic Arterial Infusion of Floxuridine, Gemcitabine Hydrochloride, and Radiolabeled Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in Treating Liver Metastases in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Previously Treated With Surgery

Start date: February 11, 2005
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as floxuridine and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Hepatic arterial infusion uses a catheter to carry cancer-killing substances directly into the liver. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Giving hepatic arterial infusion of floxuridine together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of floxuridine when given as a hepatic arterial infusion together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and radiolabeled monoclonal antibody therapy and to see how well it works in treating liver metastases in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00551421 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Pertuzumab and Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Previously Treated Locally Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: October 2007
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Monoclonal antibodies, such as pertuzumab and cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving pertuzumab together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pertuzumab when given together with cetuximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer

NCT ID: NCT00504153 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

Dasatinib in Treating Patients With Previously Treated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: July 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial is studying dasatinib to see how well it works in treating patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth.

NCT ID: NCT00407654 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Cancer

VEGF Trap in Treating Patients With Previously Treated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: October 2006
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial is studying how well VEGF Trap works in treating patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer. VEGF Trap may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

NCT ID: NCT00397384 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Erlotinib Hydrochloride and Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Advanced Gastrointestinal Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, or Colorectal Cancer

Start date: January 2007
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride when given together with cetuximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer, head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or colorectal cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Erlotinib hydrochloride and cetuximab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT00138177 Completed - Clinical trials for Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid, Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin in Treating Patients With Progressive Metastatic or Unresectable Colorectal Cancer or Other Solid Tumors

Start date: July 2005
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid when given together with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin in treating patients with progressive metastatic or unresectable colorectal cancer or solid tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.
