Filter by:This study is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation phase 1 study of intravenous (IV) LY2495655 in participants with advanced cancer.
This is a Phase I safety trial of bifunctional shRNA-STMN1 (pbi-shRNA™STMN1) BIV (bilamellar invaginated vesicle) lipoplex (LP), pbi-shRNA™ STMN1 LP administered by a single intratumoral (IT) injection. Patients with superficially accessible advanced cancer following prior therapies will be entered into the study following a modified dose escalation design based on the demonstrated safety of our previous clinical experience (BB-IND 13744) with the same liposome and vector DNA backbone expressing a different transgene (of which doses up to 7 mg DNA IV/single dose have been administered). Patients will accrue in 4-patient escalation cohorts using a modified Fibronacci escalation schema (100%-50%-33%-33%) at a starting intratumoral dose of 0.010 mg/kg of DNA through a dose of 0.053 mg/kg DNA intratumoral / single dose. Should a single, but not more than two (2), ≥ Grade 3 Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) occur in any cohort, following mandated review (see below) an additional two (2) patients will be accrued at that dose (total of six). If more than one ≥ Grade 3 toxicity occurs in any cohort, the preceding dose cohort will be expanded to six (from four) and if < 2/6 patients experience ≥ Grade 3 toxicity, that dose will be the Phase II recommended dose. Should no ≥ Grade 3 toxicity occur in any cohort (other than Grade 3 local injection site reaction), an additional two (2) patients will be treated at 0.053 mg/kg DNA intratumoral / single dose.
The main objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Oratecan in combination with capecitabine
Primary Objective: -Evaluate incidence of cardiac complications in Phase I patients. Secondary Objective: -To identify variables (i.e. number of electrocardiograms (EKG) performed) that lead to the detection of cardiac events.
When facing life threatening illness such as advanced cancer palliative care is needed to improve quality of life of patients and their families through the prevention and relief of suffering. Palliative care at an early stage prevents the development of problems and symptoms, but time, resources and experience are needed in the primary care sector in Denmark to deal with the problems families experiencing life with advanced cancer are facing. The aims of this study are to test, evaluate and further develop interventions that can help identify and assess problems, resources and opportunities of families experiencing life with advanced cancer, and on this background to help the families cope with their situation in cooperation with healthcare professionals to an extent where the family's quality of life increases, their physical and psychosocial problems are relieved, their symptoms of anxiety and depression are reduced, family satisfaction with health professionals are increased and acute readmissions to hospital are prevented.
When a patient with advanced cancer consults with a member of the Phase I drug development team, the investigators utilize all information possible to try to select a therapy for that patient which has the best chance of working for them. This information includes: 1. Past published information 2. Clinical experience and judgement 3. Immunohistochemistry for specific targets (e.g., ER) 4. Standard sequencing (e.g., for K-Ras) and other methods now available. The investigators have a new tool which warrants early exploration for what role it might eventually play in the process of selecting the best therapy for an individual patient. The basis of the current ancillary exploratory study is to gain initial experience with the operational aspects of this whole genome sequencing in this setting.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of nabiximols (Sativex®), compared with placebo, when used as an adjunctive measure in relieving uncontrolled persistent chronic pain (not breakthrough pain) in participants with advanced cancer, who had inadequate analgesia even with optimized chronic opioid therapy. This multi-center study was conducted in two parts. All participants enrolled into the trial received nabiximols during one of two parts of the study, but they did not know which part. Eligible participants were not required to stop any of their current treatments or medications.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether OPB-51602 is safe and tolerable when given daily by mouth to subjects with advanced solid tumors.
The goal of this clinical research trial is to study the effects of the FDA-approved drug, temsirolimus, using a new type of clinical study design called a "Phase 0." This type of study may be able to predict if a drug can affect cancer and may be able to prevent potentially useful study drugs from being discarded before they are fully tested. The purpose of the study is not to treat the cancer, but to help improve general cancer treatment knowledge.
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of LY2835219 to be given to participants with advanced cancer and to determine any side effects that may be associated with LY2835219 in this population. Efficacy measures will be used to assess the activity of LY2835219 in this population.
