Filter by:The purpose of this clinical trial was to demonstrate the benefit of the immunotherapeutic product recMAGE-A3 + AS-15 given to patients with bladder cancer after removal of the bladder. A course of 13 injections was administered over 27 months.
This is an international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study. All eligible patients entering the open label phase of the study will receive a single immediate instillation of apaziquone (4 mg in 40 mL diluent), post transurethral resection-bladder tumor (TURBT). Following Central Pathology review of histology and Double Blind Phase qualification, patients with confirmed eligibility will be randomized to receive either 6 weekly intravesical instillations of apaziquone or matching placebo and undergo cystoscopic and safety assessments every 3 months for 24 months from randomization. Patients with histologic evidence of recurrent disease during the study will be treated according to current treatment guidelines or local standard of care. Safety and efficacy assessments will be performed at 3 month intervals for all randomized patients throughout the study. Patients who receive single dose of apaziquone immediately following TURBT and are not eligible for randomization will be followed for 3 months by cystoscopic exam and safety assessments.
When the bladder is removed for bladder cancer, pelvic lymph nodes (LN) are also removed. While the anatomic extent of this LN dissection is critical, the investigators often use the number of LN removed as a measure of the extent, which in turn is essential for determining the patient's further treatment and prognosis. The LN count, however, is also dependent on the pathologist's processing of the LN tissue, and the standards for this processing are poorly defined. The goal of this study is to establish a standardized method for processing and analyzing lymph node specimens. The investigators hypothesize that if an organic solvent is used to remove excess fat from the lymph nodes that the investigators will discover more clinically significant nodes in a more reproducible fashion when compared to the current method.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MGA271 when given by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with refractory cancer. The study will also evaluate how long MGA271 stays in the blood and how long it takes for it to leave the body, what is the highest dose that can safely be given, and whether it may have an effect on tumors.
This phase II trial studies how well giving docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate together as second-line therapy works in treating patients with stage IV bladder cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving docetaxel and lapatinib ditosylate together may kill more tumor cells.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of the combination consisting of gemcitabine/cisplatin and panitumumab in patients with urothelial carcinoma and wild-type HRAS (non-mutated status). The progression-free survival rate at 12 months will be compared to expectations derived from historical data, which are verified by a randomised control group without the antibody.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of intravesical instillation of EO9 in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
The purposes of this study are to: - find out whether participants' cancer returns or gets worse while they are taking lenalidomide and Bacille Calmette-Guerrin (BCG); - evaluate the safety and tolerability of the combination of lenalidomide and BCG; - compare the cancer progression of participants taking lenalidomide and BCG versus participants taking only BCG
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cell and urine levels of Gemcitabine and its metabolites, 30 mins or 2 hours post infusion, predict response to GemX chemoradiation at first check cystoscopy, 3 months from the end of radiotherapy.
The primary objectives of this study are (Phase 1) to determine in subjects with unresectable or metastatic bladder cancer who have never had chemotherapy, the dose of lenalidomide that is well-tolerated when given in combination with gemcitabine plus cisplatin and (Phase 2) to study this recommended dose in subjects to evaluate progression-free survival at 1 year. The secondary objectives will be to determine the objective response rate to treatment, and the safety of combination therapy with gemcitabine, cisplatin and lenalidomide as well as to evaluate lenalidomide as maintenance treatment in subjects achieving objective response or stable disease.
