Filter by:Patients with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced malignancies harboring BRAF genomic alterations, the biological target of vemurafenib, and who are no more amenable to curative treatment. To explore the efficacy of vemurafenib as a single agent across diverse type of tumors guided by the presence of identified activating molecular alterations in the vemurafenib target gene, per cohort.
The Primary objective of this study is: 1. To determine the cardiac safety of TH-302 in patients with advanced solid tumors The Secondary objectives are: 1. To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of TH-302 2. To evaluate whether there is an association between plasma exposure to TH-302 and its active metabolite, Br-IPM, and effects on cardiac repolarization 3. To assess the safety and antitumor activity of TH-302 in patients with advanced solid tumors
This is a first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pegilodecakin in participants with advanced solid tumors, dosed daily subcutaneously as a monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
A major challenge for researchers in cancer care is to expedite the development of new therapeutics and the Center for Personalized Cancer Treatment (a collaboration of the Dept. of Medical Oncology from the University Medical Center Utrecht, Netherlands Cancer Center - Antoni van Leeuwenhoek hospital and the Erasmus Medical Center - Daniël den Hoed clinic) is an initiative to achieve this goal. The current and future generation anti-cancer drugs are developed to specifically activate or deactivate deregulated gene products or signaling pathways in cancer cells. The development of such "targeted" agents is an exciting new opportunity that promises to deliver more anti-cancer efficacy and less toxicity. Although targeted therapy has been a breakthrough in medical oncology leading to the development of a portfolio of potentially successful new drugs, it has not yet delivered the much needed relief for large patient populations. We believe that the development of these agents is mainly hampered by our lack of successful patient selection. The CPCT aims to select patients for clinical trial participation based on the results of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) information obtained from tumor material. The advent of NGS platforms enables us to probe a significant proportion of the cancer genome and thus to develop a realistic view on the complex genetic changes in cancer cells. The CPCT aims to use NGS platforms to improve the selection of patients for targeted therapy trials. We will obtain tumor biopsies of a (preferably) metastatic or locally advanced lesion and peripheral blood sample from all patients included in the trial; the biopsies to obtain information on the tumor related genetic mutations (mutational profile) and the blood samples to assess each patient's germline DNA background variation. As patients will be asked to undergo an invasive procedure it is important to address the potential safety issues. Review of the literature shows that in general tumor biopsies can be performed with only minor complications and acceptable risks. We will recruit patients with metastatic or locally advanced (incurable) solid tumors and we aim to use the information obtained from DNA sequencing to stratify patients for inclusion in clinical trials. The final personalized treatment decision will be made dependent on the availability of trials and the expected predictive value of the mutational profile.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if panax ginseng (commonly called ginseng) can help to control fatigue and other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and mood changes in patients with cancer. The safety of ginseng will also be studied.
The purposes of this trial are: - To evaluate the toxicity and tolerability of QBI-139 in patients with advanced refractory solid tumors. - To determine the maximum tolerated dose of QBI-139 in patients with advanced, refractory solid tumors. Patients will receive QBI-139 by IV infusion over at least one hour once weekly for three weeks. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3 to 6 patients receive escalating doses of QBI-139 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.
The purpose of this phase I randomised cross over study is to determine and compare the bioavailability of two different oral formulations of AZD2281 in advanced solid tumour cancer patients
Phase I, open study to assess the effect of rifampicin, a marketed drug, on how the body handles the experimental drug cediranib in patients with advanced cancer.
Anti-angiogenic targeted therapies are used in a wide range of solid tumors including NSCLC, breast cancer, GISTs, CRC, renal cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Somatic mutations in genes related to tumorigenesis have been associated with treatment response whereas germline gene variants have been associated with tumor risk, prognosis and treatment related toxicity.Study objectives are: 1. To characterise the prevalence and clinicopathological associations of germline and somatic variation in genes involved in the angiogenic pathway in healthy donors and unselected cancer patients 2. To examine the association between angiogenic gene variants and outcome in patients receiving anti-angiogenic therapy
The purpose of this study is to investigate what effects, if any, picoplatin has on the heart rhythm.
