NCT ID: NCT01131234 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Gamma-Secretase Inhibitor RO4929097 and Cediranib Maleate in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Start date: May 2010
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

NCT ID: NCT00745134 Terminated - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Carcinoma

Radiation Therapy and Capecitabine With or Without Curcumin Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Rectal Cancer

Start date: August 11, 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy and capecitabine with or without curcumin before surgery works in treating patients with rectal cancer. Drugs such as curcumin may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy and radiation therapy is more effective with or without curcumin when given before surgery in patients with rectal cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00068692 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Rectal Carcinoma

Comparison of Adjuvant Chemotherapy Regimens in Treating Stage II/III Rectal Cancer

Start date: October 15, 2003
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase III trial is comparing the effectiveness of three adjuvant combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who are receiving radiation therapy and fluorouracil either before or after surgery for stage II or stage III rectal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which adjuvant combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating patients who are receiving radiation therapy and fluorouracil either before or after surgery for rectal cancer.
