Filter by:This is a Phase I/safety dose expansion study of the combination of the drug ganetespib and doxorubicin in patients with advanced solid tumors. The purpose of the Phase I part of the study is to determine the recommended phase II dose of ganetespib when given in combination with doxorubicin. The recommended Phase II dose determined at the end of the dose escalation phase will be used to conduct a safety dose expansion phase in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer to determine if there is a signal of efficacy in this population.
This open-label, 2-part Phase I/ randomized Phase II multi-center study is conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and clinical activity of afuresertib in combination with carfilzomib versus carfilzomib alone, in subjects with relapsed/refractory MM. Part 1 will evaluate 2 dose levels (125 milligrams [mg] and 150 mg of afuresertib) in 16 subjects (approximately 8 in each parallel arm) to determine an optimal dose of afuresertib for administration in combination with carfilzomib in Part 2. If neither of these dose levels are tolerated, an additional dose level of 100mg of afursertib in combination with carfilzomib may be explored in approximately 8 additional subjects. Part 2 was to investigate the safety, and clinical activity of the combination of afuresertib with carfilzomib (determined in Part 1) compared to carfilzomib alone, in approximately 100 subjects (50 in each parallel arm), however the study was terminated after the discontinuation of the single subject following the transition of the afuresertib development program from GSK to Novartis. The reason for the study termination is that the protocol defined study treatment was no longer aligned with the evolving standard of care.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of the investigational drug DCC-2701 and whether it will work to help people who have advanced solid tumors or cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Patients diagnosed with progressive and/or refractory solid malignancies, who have failed conventional therapy, and have no available, potentially curative therapeutic options, will be candidates for this Phase I/II study. Following confirmation of disease progression and/or refractoriness, eligible patients who agree to participate and sign an informed consent form will have their tumor cells/tissues and/or blood analyzed for the expression of a specific panel of Tumor Associated Peptide Antigens (TAPAs), including Sp17, ropporin, AKAP-4, PTTG1, Span-xb, Her-2/neu, HM1.24, NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-1.
The purpose of this study is to determine the timing of influenza vaccination to induce higher antibody response in adult patients with non-hematologic malignancies receiving scheduled cytotoxic chemotherapy.
The proposed work is part of a multidisciplinary approach to continuity of care in the particular context of the palliative phase of cancer. In conducting this study, we would like to characterize, at the regional level, satisfaction with the care of patients and their families in their care home situations palliative cancer. This evaluation will be based on questionnaires adapted versions in French language satisfaction questionnaires recently validated for patients in palliative situation and supported home care. It will also identify the challenges faced by both patients, caregivers attending physicians. The evaluation of these elements is a prerequisite to propose ways of improving at a hospital palliative care for output relay and anticipate the coordination of care for optimal care of the patient at home, to meet the expectations of different stakeholders, or even prevent certain readmissions "avoidable".
This research study is for people who have previously received cancer vaccines. The investigators are testing a form of therapy known as interferon alfa-2a, which is commercially available as the drug Roferon®-A, to see if it can be used to help boost the effects of the cancer vaccine and help the immune system attack the cancer. It is believed that the body's immune system can attack tumor cells and kill them. This is thought to be due to immune cells called T cells which can recognize special proteins on the surface of tumors as a signal to fight the cancer. However, the vaccine may not work very well if the protein signal is too weak for the T cells to find your tumors. The investigators think that interferon alfa-2a can signal the cancer cells in the body to make more proteins that may allow the T cells to recognize and kill the cancer cells better.
- Investigate the safety and tolerability of multiple DCBCI0901 infusions in patients with advanced solid tumor - Pharmacokinetic parameters will be calculated for DCBCI0901, if data permit. - Anti tumor activity: The efficacy endpoint will be the overall response rate (ORR) defined as the proportion of patients who continuously receive treatment after Cycle 1 with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
This is an open-label, multicenter, 2-part study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for GSK2816126 given twice weekly by intravenous (IV) infusion. Part 1 will be conducted in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL), other Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), solid tumors (including castrate resistant prostate cancer) and multiple myeloma (MM) to determine the safety and tolerability of GSK2816126. Expansion cohorts (Part 2) are planned to further explore clinical activity of GSK2816126 at the RP2D in subjects with Enhancer of Zeste 2 (EZH2) wild type and EZH2 mutant positive germinal center B-cell like diffuse large B cell lymphoma (GCB-DLBCL), tFL and MM.
This is an open-label, single arm, Phase Ib dose escalation study of Oxcarbazepine with morphine in patients with refractory cancer pain. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the safety and toxicity of the combination of Oxcarbazepine plus morphine. The secondary endpoints are improving pain control, reduce morphine use and improve the quality of life.
