Filter by:The purpose of the study is to test the safety of an experimental drug called OSI-906 when combined with pemetrexed at different dose levels and to find out the optimal doses of the two drugs that can be given as a combination. Pemetrexed has been widely used for treatment of certain solid organ tumors and is effective and approved for use in treatment of lung cancer and mesothelioma.
This study will assess the effect of IT-101 on delaying cancer progression in patients with platinum sensitive ovarian cancer.
The overall aim is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a self-help program via internet aiming at preventing development and maintenance of cancer-related emotional distress among adolescents with cancer.
This is a single arm, open-label, Phase Ib/II study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of the oral AKT inhibitor, GSK2110183, when administered to subjects with proteasome inhibitor refractory multiple myeloma (MM). During Part 1 of the study, GSK2110183 will be administered to subjects in sequential Pharmacokinetic (PK) Cohorts on a continuous daily dosing schedule in 21-day cycles until one of the Treatment Discontinuation Criteria is met. The PK Cohorts will characterize the PK of GSK2110183 in plasma and urine as well as determine the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of GSK2110183. The RP2D will be that dose that provides adequate PK exposure and biologic activity without exceeding the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in MM subjects as defined in the current study. In Part 2 of the study, the RP2D will be further evaluated using a flexible 2-stage design with a stopping rule to allow for early termination based on lack of efficacy at the end of Stage 1. The first stage will accrue 20 subjects who will receive GSK2110183 at the RP2D. If a clinical response is observed in at least 1 subject in Stage 1, the study will proceed to Stage 2 and 20 additional subjects will be enrolled. GSK2110183 will be administered in Part 2 (Stage 1 and Stage 2) on a continuous daily dosing schedule in 21 day cycles until International Myeloma Working Group criteria for progression are met, at which point the subject will proceed to GSK 2110183 + bortezomib salvage therapy provided they meet the additional eligibility criteria for this phase of the study. GSK2110183 and bortezomib will be continued until one of the Treatment Discontinuation Criteria is met. Exploratory PK/PD analyses may be performed to examine the potential relationships between GSK2110183 pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic biomarkers.
Radioiodine (I-131) therapy is of proven efficacy for treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). However, loss of differentiation in recurrent or metastatic DTC which decrease I-131 uptake may decrease the efficacy of I-131 therapy. Therefore, strategies to improve I-131 uptake are mandatory. This study is an open label clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) for improving I-131 uptake in recurrent or metastatic of DTC with defective I-131 uptake.
This study will develop and examine the effectiveness of an intervention that utilizes technology to improve cancer survivors' access to mental health care and increase their ability to manage the stressors involved in cancer survivorship. The intervention, referred to as Project Onward, uses an interactive website and an online social network. The purpose of this study is to pilot a novel intervention that can reduce costs, examine methods to improve adherence to internet based treatment and overcome numerous barriers to treatment for mental health concerns.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GSK1120212, a MEK inhibitor, is an effective and safe treatment for cancer subjects with metastatic uveal melanoma and mutation-positive GNAQ or GNA11 metastatic melanoma.
The goal of this study is to evaluate a virtual reality-based intervention for training health care providers who are not genetics specialists to effectively communicate with and counsel patients regarding cancer genetics.
To investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD8055 intermittent dosing schedules when given orally to patients with advanced solid malignancies and lymphomas. Two intermittent dosing schedules will be explored with increasing doses until a maximum tolerated dose is determined for each schedule.
Patients in good general condition with resectable brain metastases, looks better with more intense treatment of metastases. This local treatment has been accomplished with surgery or radiosurgery. However, there are no randomized studies comparing these two types of treatment. The purpose of this study is to make this.
