Filter by:This is a Phase 1, open label, multi center, multiple dose, dose escalation, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of palbociclib in combination with nab-P, in sequential cohorts of adult patients with mPDAC, with MTD expansion cohort(s). Approximately 30-60 patients are expected to be enrolled in the overall study.
Two-Year Disease Free Survival Rate of Stage IB~IIIA adenocarcinoma after Adjuvant Chemotherapy with Pemetrexed and Cisplatin will be assessed. A total of 106 patients will be recruited for 12 months, and followed for two years, thus the duration of study will be 36 months.
This phase II trial studies cediranib maleate in combination with olaparib in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other parts of the body (advanced/metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Cediranib maleate and olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate may also block the flow of oxygen to the tumor, and may help make the tumor more sensitive to olaparib.
Researchers are looking for better ways of diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer. It is believed that looking for low levels of oxygen (hypoxia) in tumours may give a better understanding of how certain tumours grow or respond to certain treatments. This study will look at hypoxia in pancreatic tumours while participants are receiving treatment with the combination of gemcitabine and TH-302/placebo in the EMR 200592-001 clinical research study. This study will use positron emission tomography (PET) scans to look at hypoxia in tumours. PET is an imaging test that can be used to measure hypoxia in tumours. For this study, a radioactive tracer called Fluoroazomycin Arabinoside (FAZA) will be used to "label" areas of hypoxia in tumours. Determining the levels of hypoxia in tumour tissue using FAZA-PET scans and comparing these levels with the patient's response to treatment with gemcitabine and TH-302/placebo for pancreatic cancer may help the researchers to determine the relationship between hypoxia and response to this treatment. The main purpose of this study is to see how useful looking at hypoxia in tumours are when they are done at different centres.
This pilot phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein when given together with standard chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, gemcitabine hydrochloride, docetaxel, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether standard chemotherapy regimens are more effective with recombinant ephB4-HSA fusion protein in treating advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
Currently, for further improved survival outcome, new cytotoxic compounds such as irinotecan and docetaxel have been combined with 5-FU/cisplatin. However, triplet regimen often burdened with higher toxicity and serious neutropenic infection. Therefore, future trials in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings need to incorporate new molecular agents which improve efficacy, but less toxicity.
This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) as first-line treatment for participants with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Participants whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment arms of the study: pembrolizumab as monotherapy [pembro mono], pembrolizumab plus standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine [pembro combo], or placebo plus SOC chemotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine [SOC]. The primary study hypotheses are that pembrolizumab in combination with SOC chemotherapy is superior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of Progression-free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in participants with PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1, pembrolizumab in combination with SOC chemotherapy is superior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of OS in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥10, pembrolizumab monotherapy is non-inferior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of OS in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1, and pembrolizumab monotherapy is superior to SOC chemotherapy alone in terms of OS in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1 and in participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥10.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Apatinib combined with cytokine-induced killer cell (CIK) vs Apatinib alone as the third line therapy for advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with wild-type EGFR
Some subtypes of gastric and cardia tumors such as adenocarcinoma or gastric linitis with disseminated cells respond poorly to the pre-operative chemotherapy, and some of them do not respond to chemotherapy usually performed. Doing chemotherapy in these patients could delay their surgical management. The completion of chemotherapy for these patients would be a bad prognosis factor according to recent data from the literature. Therefore, the aim of this research is to find prognostic markers of sensitivity to chemotherapy usually performed. The investigators are going to use biopsies realized at diagnosis and select patients "good and bad" responders. Primary purpose: To study cardia and gastric tumors, molecular markers sensitivity to pre- and post- perative chemotherapy protocols (EOX protocol ... FOLFOX) or chemoradiation Secondary purposes: - To assess the impact of patients' lifestyle (via a questionnaire) on the response to chemotherapy - To study markers of cancer stem cells - To correlate clinical and molecular markers with patient survival and quality of life questionnaires - To characterize the expression levels (Met, Her2, FGFR2) and mutations (p53 ras) in frequently deregulated genes in gastric cancers. - To characterize the level of expression of predictive candidate markers (ΔNp73, TAp73, HDAC4, mir140, EZH2, CXCL12, CXCR4, CXCR7) found in the literature. - To correlate the abnormalities found in the with tumor stages (before and after chemotherapy) and with 5 years overall survival and progression-free patients
This pilot trial studies how well dexamethasone and re-treatment with enzalutamide work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), does not respond to hormone therapy (hormone-resistant), and was previously treated with enzalutamide and docetaxel. Dexamethasone treatment may be able to reverse one resistance mechanism to enzalutamide therapy (overabundance of receptors for dexamethasone and other glucocorticoids inside cancer cells) and allow for renewed therapeutic sensitivity to enzalutamide. Androgens (a type of male hormone) can bind to androgen receptors found inside prostate cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to grow. Enzalutamide may stop the growth of prostate cancer cells by blocking the activity of the cancer cell androgen receptors. Giving dexamethasone prior to re-treatment with enzalutamide may be a treatment for prostate cancer.
