Filter by:AMG 211 is a bispecific single-chain antibody construct of the bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE®) class that targets human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, CD66e) on (tumor) cells and cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3) positive T-cells. AMG 211 is a potentially new targeted drug in the treatment of relapsed/refractory gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma, since those are CEA expressing tumors. A well-known challenge in current drug development using targeted therapies is the high level of heterogeneity of target expression that is present in specific tumor types. Radio-labeling of AMG 211 with the positron emission tomography (PET) radionuclide Zirconium-89 (89Zr) enables non-invasive imaging and quantification of AMG 211 distribution in cancer patients. By performing a 89Zr-AMG211 PET scan prior to treatment with AMG 211, the uptake of the tracer in the primary and metastatic tumor lesions and normal organ distribution can be evaluated. By performing a 89Zr-AMG211 PET scan during AMG 211 continuous intravenous (cIV) treatment the investigators will be able to evaluate the impact of prolonged steady state exposure of AMG 211 on tumor and tissue uptake. The 89Zr-AMG211 PET imaging study may help to identify patients more likely to benefit from AMG 211 therapy.
The study is a randomized controlled trial with the aim to examine the feasibility and the effects of a home-based exercise intervention program on activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment. Further outcomes include functional and body status, quality of life, body composition, and chemotherapy completion rate. Study participants will be randomized to an exercise intervention group or a wait-list control group
This is an open label, multi-center, Phase 1/2 dose escalation study of BBI608 administered in combination with either FOLFOX6 with and without bevacizumab, or CAPOX, or FOLFIRI with and without bevacizumab, or regorafenib, or irinotecan.
This study is being done to get individuals' feedback on advanced care planning and decision making. This study is divided into two parts (Part 1 and Part 2). The purpose of Part 1 is to survey people to find out what is important to people with advanced cancer (again, their values, such as their goals, concerns and sources of support). This has never been done before in the way the investigators are doing it, and that is why this is called a "pilot" study, which is where a new method or treatment is being created and evaluated. The purpose of Part 2 is to see if combining a medical options video with a short interview about values helps people with how they feel about their medical situation, and what they know about their medical options for their medical situation.
