Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of an extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2) inhibitor LY3214996 administered alone or in combination with other agents in participants with advanced cancer.
The decision to limit or withdraw specific therapies (DLWT) in patients with advanced cancer is a complex process that is always painful for patients, relatives and professionals. For more than 10 years, shared decision making has been more and more emphasized. However, few data in the literature rely on clinical research. In order to understand their difficulties and issues, this study explores the determinants and modalities of DLWT and analyses the feasibility of different methods for investigating this decision making process.
The purpose of this study is to further study the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Anlotinib in Advanced Cancer Patients with High Fat Diet.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug known as Prexasertib (LY2606368) in participants with advanced cancer or cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This study will involve a single dose of ¹⁴C radiolabelled Prexasertib . This means that a radioactive substance, carbon 14, will be incorporated into the study drug. This will provide information about the study drug and its breakdown products and will help determine how much passes from the blood into urine, feces and expired air. After a minimum 14-day washout period following the [¹⁴C] Prexasertib dose, participants will be allowed to receive continued access to Prexasertib as outpatients.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are the most common gastrointestinal cancers in Western countries and are both associated with significant morbidity and mortality. An intriguing similarity between CRC and PDAC is the fact that the newly developed immune checkpoint inhibitors, especially PD1/PDL1 inhibitors, seem to have limited efficacy as single agents in both of these tumor types. Recent preclinical studies point towards alternatively activated (M2-type) macrophages as possible culprits in inducing local immune protection from cytotoxic T cells and resistance to PD1/PD-L1 targeted agents. We hypothesize that CSF1R blockade will deplete the tumor microenvironment of M2 macrophages, thus favoring the induction of a cytotoxic anti-tumor T-cell response following PD-L1 blockade with an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody. So we propose to conduct a Phase I dose escalation study in order to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of a combined treatment associating an anti-CSF1R (PEXIDARTINIB) with an anti-PD-L1 (DURVALUMAB) in patients with advanced/metastatic colorectal or pancreatic cancers. Dose escalation part will determine the Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Pexidartinib given in combination with Durvalumab. Extension part will evaluate the clinical activity of the combination at the RP2D.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of ramucirumab in combination with other targeted agents in participants with advanced cancers.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and tumor-shrinking ability of experimental medication BMS-986178, when given by itself or in combination with Nivolumab and/or Ipilimumab, in participants with solid cancers that are advanced or have spread.
The overall goal of this study is to test whether a nurse-led intervention to improve provision of primary palliative care within oncology practices (CONNECT) can decrease morbidity for patients with advanced cancer and their caregivers. The specific aims are to: Aim 1. Assess the effects of CONNECT on patient quality of life (primary outcome), symptom burden, and mood at 3-month follow-up. Aim 2. Assess the effects of CONNECT on caregiver burden and mood at 3-month follow-up. Aim 3. Assess the effects of CONNECT on healthcare resource use over 1 year of follow-up.
TRX-818 is a new small molecule chemical entity being developed as a potential anti-cancer therapeutic by TaiRx, Inc. TRX-818 is a potent anti-cancer agent in numerous human cancer cell lines. The objectives of this study are to determine the safety profile of TRX-818 including identification of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in Asians and determine the recommended dose and regimen(s) to initiate Phase 2.
This study seeks to test the effectiveness of two arms of an intervention that use videoconference technology for distance caregivers of patients with advanced cancer. The study is significant because the intervention will promote involvement of caregivers of patients with cancer and makes a compelling case for significance based on changing demographics and lifestyles.
