Filter by:This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of c-Met inhibitor AMG 337 when given together with oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil and to see how well they work in treating patients with stomach or esophageal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. C-Met inhibitor AMG 337 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as, oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, 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. Giving c-Met inhibitor AMG 337 with oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil may kill more tumor cells.
The overall goal of this project is to test an interactive, multi-media decision aid in the form of an electronic clinical decision dashboard designed to improve the quality of clinical decision making for initial treatment of patients with newly diagnosed, low or intermediate risk prostate cancer.
The primary aim of this study is evaluate the impact of hippocampal-sparing prophylactic cranial irradiation (HS-PCI) on survival status in patients with nodal-positive (locally advanced) adenocarcinoma by comparing overall survival rates of patients undergoing HS-PCI to that of patients without this intervention. In addition, this study aims to investigate whether HS-PCI is detrimental on neurocognitive function and to evaluate its impact on the patient's quality of life.
This is a randomized, multicenter, open-label, dose-exploration and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, antitumor activity, PK, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of MEDI4736 in combination with tremelimumab, MEDI4736 monotherapy or tremelimumab monotherapy in participants with metastatic or recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
Patients with locally confined prostate adenocarcinoma (clinical stage T1c - T2bN0M0, Gleason score 7, PSA 20 ng/ml) are assigned to one of two treatment arms. Low risk patients (T1c-T2a and PSA <10 ng/ml and Gleason Score 6 or less) will receive 5 fractions of 8.0 Gy for a total of 40 Gy. Intermediate risk patients (T2b or PSA >10 ng/ml orGleason Score 7) will receive 1.8 Gy of IMRT for 25 fractions over 5 weeks for a total of 45 Gy. They will then receive a boost consisting of 4, 5.5 Gy fractions after IMRT for a total of 22 Gy.
In patients with locally advanced tumour, neoadjuvant treatment has been proposed in various modalities as a way to decrease size and downstage the tumour leading to a re-sectable disease. The HybridTherm probe (HTP), (ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH, Tübingen, Germany) combines bipolar RF-ablation with cryogenic induced cooling. A bipolar radiofrequency system creates ablation with less collateral thermal damage than standard monopolar systems but with the trade-off to lose overall efficiency.
This is a study of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) for advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma; pembrolizumab will be given as monotherapy to participants who have had previous treatment or who are treatment-naïve; pembrolizumab will also be evaluated as combination therapy with cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) or (Japan only) capecitabine in treatment-naïve participants. The primary study hypothesis is that pembrolizumab will provide a clinically meaningful Overall Response Rate (ORR).
Objective: To compare pre- and post-treatment glandular cellularity in women with complex atypical hyperplasia or grade 1-2 endometrial adenocarcinoma who are treated with intramuscular depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) versus placebo injection prior to hysterectomy. The secondary objective is to compare various other outcomes including molecular, histologic, pathologic and clinical endpoints in women treated with DMPA versus placebo prior to hysterectomy. Hypothesis: Patients treated with DMPA will have significantly decreased glandular cellularity post-treatment when compared to patients treated with placebo injection. Patients treated with DMPA will exhibit previously described changes in molecular tumor marker expression patterns and other characteristic histologic changes. Patients treated with DMPA will report less bothersome vaginal bleeding prior to surgery when compared to patients treated with placebo injection. Study Design: Double blinded randomized controlled trial Population: Women being treated at the Women and Infants Program in Women's Oncology who have a biopsy-proven diagnosis of complex atypical hyperplasia or grade 1-2 endometrial adenocarcinoma with disease clinically confined to the uterus, with a plan to undergo hysterectomy. Study Period: February 2015 to June 2016
Proportion of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the postoperative phase after curative tumor removal of pancreatic cancer will be determined and correlated to the accordance of anesthesia (desflurane versus propofol)
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of genetic analysis-guided dosing of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride (FOLFIRABRAX) in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride, 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. Genetic analysis may help doctors determine what dose of irinotecan hydrochloride patients can tolerate.
