Filter by:The goal of the current study is to determine whether Foundation Medicine's next generation sequencing assay, called FoundationOne, will provide information that allows physicians to make treatment decisions using targeted therapies in clinical trials or FDA approved therapies, including "off-label" agents, that result in superior OS compared to historical outcomes for standard CUP therapy.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of talazoparib and heat shock protein (HSP)90 inhibitor AT13387 when given together in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, or hormone negative breast cancer that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Talazoparib and HSp90 inhibitor AT13387 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some enzymes that are need for cell growth. HSp90 inhibitor AT1338 may also help talazoparib work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.
Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer without clinically detectable metastatic disease will be treated with standardized systemic chemotherapy, followed by chemoradiation, and then surgical resection for those with resectable or borderline resectable disease. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival at 1 yr from initiation of treatment.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superiority of treatment with avelumab plus best supportive care (BSC) versus physician's choice (chosen from a pre-specified list of therapeutic options) plus BSC.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate superiority of treatment with avelumab versus continuation of first-line chemotherapy.
Prostate cancer (PC) remains the most-common non-cutaneous cancer diagnosed in American males, accounting for an estimated 174,560 estimated new cases and 31,620 estimated deaths in 2019. Up to 40% of the patients with prostate cancer develop biochemical recurrence within 10 years after initial treatment. Usually an increase of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) llevel precedes a clinically detectable recurrence by months to years, and this is currently used as a screening test before and subsequent to treatment. However, disease advancement can be local, regional or systemic, and each has significantly different approaches to disease management. Unfortunately, PSA level does not differentiate between these disease stages. This phase 2-3 study explores the utility of radiolabel 68Ga-RM2, a 68-gallium (68Ga)-labeled gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPr) antagonist, for positron emission tomography (PET) / magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (collectively, PET/MRI) as a potential tool to help discriminate between disease stages in participants after treatment with surgery or radiation, who present persistently elevated PSA levels (ie, may have prostate cancer), but were negative for cancer with a diagnostic regular medical care computed tomography (CT) scan 68Ga-RM2 (BAY86-7548) is also identified as a synthetic bombesin receptor antagonist. PET/MRI is the collective result of 2 scan processes (PET and MRI ) conducted during the same scan procedure (ie, a combined scan). After a regular medical care computed tomography (CT) scan, participants will be scanned with 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI scan procedure. PET/MRI is used to assess the location, size, and metabolic activity of a suspected tumor. The 68Ga-RM2 radiolabel consisted of a ligand (the synthetic bombesin receptor antagonist) and the radioisotope 68Ga. The RM2 ligand targets gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRPr), commonly expressed by prostate cancer cells, and the radioisotope distinguishes those cells from the background. The criteria for scan "positivity" will be, when compared to background level of the liver (control), the 68Ga signal is stronger (positive - malignant) or weaker (negative - benign). This study will assess how well 68Ga-RM2 works in detecting prostate cancer in patients with 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI may be able to see smaller tumors than the standard of care contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in Canada. Rectal cancers are now known to be hypoxic which is a negative prognostic factor and predictive of metastatic spread and poor responsiveness to treatment. This has also been shown in preclinical xenograft models. Hence there is a need for identification of hypoxic rectal cancers. In this pilot study the investigators intend to non-invasively assess the tumor and nodal metastasis using an integrated Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner (PET/MRI) with 18F-Fluoroazomycin Arabinoside (18F-FAZA) a radiopharmaceutical for assessing tumor hypoxia. The hypoxic rectal tumors will show an increased uptake of 18F-FAZA on PET which will have morphological correlation on MRI. The patient will then undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) followed by repeat 18F-FAZA PET/MRI and rectal cancer surgery with pimonidazole staining. Pimonidazole is an extrinsic marker of hypoxia that is selectively reduced and covalently bound to intracellular macromolecules in areas of hypoxia within normal and tumor tissue with current approval for use in humans for research studies. The primary goal of this pilot trial is to validate FAZA-PET as a biomarker of hypoxia by correlating its uptake in rectal tumors to pimonidazole staining in histopathology specimens. If the investigators pilot study successfully demonstrates the uptake and correlation of pimonidazole and FAZA-PET, the investigators would like to initiate a larger study examining hypoxia in rectal cancer. The investigators aims would be to image patients with locally advanced rectal cancer before CRT to ascertain whether high FAZA-PET uptake correlates with poor outcome to CRT. The ability to preoperatively predict the patient sub-population that will respond best to CRT, will help to identify the "complete pathological" responders and avoid unnecessary surgery. Furthermore, the FAZA-PET high subset of patients may benefit from other treatment strategies including clinical trials of anti-hypoxic agents.
This is a prospective, randomized, open, multicenter phase Ⅱ study to evaluate the efficacy of cytokine-induced killer cells combined chemotherapy in stage Ⅳ naive EGFR wild-type lung adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and potential benefit of metronomic 5-fluorouracil in combination with nab®1-paclitaxel, bevacizumab, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
The purpose of this Phase 1b study is to investigate whether intravenous administration of REOLYSIN® in combination with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab is effective and safe in the treatment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
