Filter by:The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety of Apatinib at a dose level up to 750 mg/d with standard therapy of docetaxel (60 mg/m²) in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring wild-type EGFR after failure of first line chemotherapy and to determine the recommended dose for the Phase II trial.
The purpose of this study is to see how effective and safe LY2157299, in combination with chemotherapy and radiation therapy, might be in treating rectal cancer. Also as part of this study, research will be done on tumor samples to see if it is possible to predict if patients will respond to treatment, and blood samples to look at the immune system response to study treatment. About 50 people will take part in this study. The study treatment will be given over an 8 week period and the investigators will continue to collect your health information for up to 5 years, as part of this study
This is a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of, adherence to, and early efficacy of Band Together, a strength-training and walking program (intervention arm) vs. education on the benefits of exercise (control arm) in patients with aggressive gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies (gastric, gastroesophageal, and pancreatic cancer) undergoing neoadjuvant therapy.
Folic acid (FA; folate) in the dose of 350-1,000 μg daily should be supplemented, daily, starting 7 days before the first dose of pemetrexed based chemotherapy and should be continued while the patient is on therapy and for 21 days after cessation of therapy. Vitamin B12 injections (1,000 μg i.m.) should also be started 1 week before the first dose of chemotherapy. However, the evidence for delaying chemotherapy by seven days for the purpose of giving vitamin B12 and FA supplementation is not robust. Observational and prospective single arm studies have not shown any increased toxicity if pemetrexed was started earlier than the recommended duration of supplementation. In a resource constrained setting, this will lead to one additional visit and 1-week chemotherapy delay which may be inconvenient for patients. Hence an open label, randomized control trial is being undertaken to evaluate if there are any differences in pemetrexed related hematological toxicity amongst patients who receive delayed initiation of chemotherapy (following 5 - 7 days of vitamin B12 and FA supplementation; Delayed Arm) as compared to those in whom vitamin B12 and FA supplementation is starting simultaneously (within 24 hours) of initiation of chemotherapy (Immediate Arm).
This phase 2-3 trial studies the utility of 68-gallium (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen 11 (PSMA-11) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) to find tumors in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing resection surgery for prostate cancer that is prognostically expected to spread quickly (intermediate-risk) or is likely to come back or spread (high-risk). Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer, and reveal out how far the disease has spread. Radioactive drugs, such as 68Ga-PSMA-11, may bind to tumor cells that have specific receptors, and may allow doctors to see smaller tumors than the standard of care contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or MRI scan.
To evaluate the efficacy of maintenance therapies following completion of standard first-line chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER-2 positive or HER-2 negative oesophago-gastric adenocarcinomas.
This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this research study is to see if recurrent prostate cancer can be identified using a special procedure called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. PET/CT is used to describe information regarding the function, as well as location and size of a tumor.
Phase I study. To determine the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose) of nintedanib + weekly Docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic lung adenocarcinoma after failure of platinum-based first line chemotherapy.
The trial consists of a series of parallel multi-centre single arm phase II trial arms, each testing an experimental targeted drug in a population stratified by multiple pre-specified actionable target putative biomarkers. The primary objective is to evaluate whether there is a signal of activity in each drug-(putative)biomarker cohort separately. A Bayesian adaptive design is adopted to achieve this objective and statistical details are given in the Protocol.
