The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of MLN0264 in patients with recurrent or metastatic guanylyl cyclase C (GCC)-positive adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction.
A new approach that aims to destroy pancreatic tumor cells through modification of the tumor environment. Asparagine synthetase (ASNS) is an enzyme wich synthetise asparagine. Asparagine is an essential nutriment for pancreatic cancer cells which have no or low level of ASNS. by L-asparaginase encapsulated in erythrocytes deplete (supress) Plasma asparagine. in selected patients having no or low ASNS, may provide a new therapeutic approach.
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 when given together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride and how well they work in treating patients with previously untreated pancreatic cancer that has spread to another place in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine 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. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride are more effective with or without WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.
This randomised, controlled, open-label, prospective trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of icotinib maintenance therapy after sequential Icotinib plus chemotherapy versus Icotinib maintenance therapy after chemotherapy in stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutation.
Preoperative chemoradiotherapy(CRT) had been introduced in the comprehensive treatment of gastroesophageal junction and upper gastric cancers in the decade.According to some researches,CRT had shown its good curative effects in local control and prolonged overall survival.However,the optimization scheme for CRT and its influence to surgery remains controversial.Meanwhile,there were many design flaws in the past few research,such as the lack of adjuvant chemotherapy,the insufficiency in lymphnodes dissection.We decided to carry out the trial,eliminating all the bias as far as we can,to illustrate the efficacy and safety of CRT.
A Phase III, Randomised, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled, Multicentre Study of Maintenance Olaparib Monotherapy in Patients with gBRCA Mutated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer whose Disease Has Not Progressed on First Line Platinum Based Chemotherapy
EUCROSS is a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of crizotinib in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung harbouring ROS1 translocations. Patients will be treated with 250mg crizotinib bid until progression or intolerable toxicity.
Pancreatic, gastric, and colorectal cancers have all been shown to overexpress the gastrin gene and to be sensitive to the trophic effects of the gastrin in animal models. The hypothesis of this study is that G17DT will elicit specific and high-affinity antibodies that will bind gastrin-17, thus preventing the trophic activity of cancer cells.
Pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancers are difficult to treat using chemotherapy and immune therapies.Currently most patients are offered treatment with a standard chemotherapy drug depending on their cancer type. Recently, laboratory studies have shown that a drug called plerixafor may help the body to overcome resistance to immune therapy. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug has the same effect on patients with advanced pancreatic, ovarian or colorectal cancer, as we have seen in our laboratory experiments, and find out the right dose of the study drug to give. This is a 'dose escalation study'. Patients will be recruited slowly and the study team will closely monitor the effect the drug has, until they find the best dose to give. As part of this study, blood and tumour samples will be collected and analysed in our laboratories and the patients cancer will be monitored using two imaging techniques, CT and FDG-PET scans.
