Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells of by stopping them from dividing. Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving pemetrexed disodium and docetaxel together in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
This is a phase Ib open label, expansion study of CUDC-101 in patients with advanced head and neck, gastric, breast, liver, and non-small cell lung cancer tumors. CUDC-101 is a multi-targeted agent designed to inhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor Type 2 (Her2) and histone deacetylase (HDAC). The study is designed to compare the safety and tolerability of CUDC-101 when administered at the maximum tolerated dose on either a 5 days/week schedule or a 3 days/week schedule.
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASG-5ME and identify the maximum tolerated dose in patients with pathologically confirmed metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and to evaluate safety and tolerability in patients with relapsed or refractory gastric adenocarcinoma.
Objectives of this study was to determine whether laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with complete D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer is a safe and effective surgical option. Methods: total 64 patients, who are diagnosed preoperatively as having T1-2, N0-1 or M0 gastric cancer, will be prospectively enrolled to undergo LADG with D2 lymph node dissection; two surgeons with experience of over 50 cases of laparoscopic gastrectomy performed the procedures. The compliance rate, defined as cases with no more than one missing lymph node station according to the Japanese Research Society of Gastric Cancer (JRSGC) lymph node grouping, for the open gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was 66.0% in a pilot study and was used for calculations of sample size. Compliance rate and other surgical outcomes, including the number of retrieved lymph nodes from each lymph node station, morbidities, mortalities and conversion rate will be analyzed.
RATIONALE: Sorafenib tosylate 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib tosylate works in treating patients with relapsed esophageal cancer and/or stomach cancer.
In case of gastric cancer, the incidence of HER-2 positivity (2+, 3+ on IHC and/or FISH (+)) is reported as similar as that of breast cancer, that is 22% of all cases. A recent ToGA Trial, phase III trial comparing trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy (fluoropyrimidine+cisplatin) versus chemotherapy alone in chemotherapy-naïve HER-2 (+) gastric cancer shows the significant benefit of using trastuzumab in terms of overall survival and progression-free survival. It provides the clinical evidence of HER-2 as a reasonable and potential therapeutic target in gastric cancer. Nowadays, lapatinib, HER-1 and HER-2 dual inhibitor, is also testing under the clinical trial in gastric cancer. In preclinical study, PF-00299804 is highly active in HER-2 amplified gastric cancer cell lines.(SNU preclinical data) So, we plan this phase II trial of PF-00299804 monotherapy in patients with HER-2 positive advance gastric cancer after failure of at least one chemotherapy regimen.
A phase II open-label study with ARQ 197 administered orally and twice daily as monotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced/recurrent gastric cancer. The primary endpoint is disease control and the secondary efficacy endpoints include antitumor effect (tumor response), progression-free survival and overall survival. The pharmacokinetic profile and the safety profile are also evaluated.
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with Epstein-Barr virus and cancer.
FOLFOX* followed by FOLFIRI** or reverse sequence treatment regimen have been used as a standard treatment modality in metastatic colorectal cancer.Oxaliplatin and Irinotecan were used for advanced gastric cancer also. The investigators study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FOLFOX followed by FOLFIRI or reverse sequence treatment regimen as a first-line and second line therapy for patients with relapsed or metastatic gastric cancer similar with colorectal cancer. *FOLFOX: oxaliplatin followed by leucovorin before bolus 5-FU followed by continuous infusion 5-FU **FOLFIRI: irinotecan followed by leucovorin before bolus 5-FU followed by continuous infusion 5-FU
- Usually the combination of fluoropyrimidine with platinum is used as a first line chemotherapy (for example, 5-FU+cisplatin, capecitabine+cisplatin, S-1+ cisplatin, 5-FU+oxaliplatin) in advanced gastric cancer. - After failure with this combination, taxane-based regimen or irinotecan-based regimen is usually used. But, as a second-line regimen, the combination of topoisomerase inhibitor with taxane has not been fully evaluated until now. - So we designed this phase I/II study to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of second-line chemotherapy with paclitaxel and irinotecan in fluoropyrimidine and platinum-pretreated advanced gastric cancer.
