Filter by:The purpose of this study is to improve survival of patients with recurrent or metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (ACC). This study will test the efficacy of the investigational drug, TKI258, in treating ACC.
The purpose of this phase II study of TKI258 (Dovitinib) in adenoid cystic carcinoma is to evaluate the efficacy of TKI258 (Dovitinib).
The purpose of this study is to study the combination of two anticancer drugs, everolimus (RAD001) and lenalidomide in patients whose cancer is no longer responding to standard treatment or patients who are unable to tolerate the standard treatment for their cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well vorinostat works in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This pilot clinical trial studies L-lysine in treating oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. L-lysine may lessen the severity of oral mucositis, or mouth sores in patients receiving radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy for head and neck cancer
- Although mTOR is clearly an attractive therapeutic target in tumor, no clinical study on mTOR inhibition by RAD001 has been systematically conducted in adenoid cystic carcinoma. - In phase I study of RAD001, 2 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma show some response to RAD001 (unpublished data). - So the investigators design this phase II study of RAD001 in adenoid cystic carcinoma to evaluate the efficacy of RAD001 in this orphan disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the FDA-approved drug nelfinavir (NFV) as an oncologic agent for adenoid cystic cancers of the head and neck. Specifically, subjects will be asked to take 1250 mg twice daily and follow-up with their medical oncologist as clinically indicated while taking this medication. Subjects would be evaluated for quality of life issues utilizing the EORTC QLQ-C30 2-page questionnaire. Subjects would also be evaluated clinically by the oncologist to determine if the NFV was having an anti-neoplastic effect. The study remains unfunded. Therefore, potential subjects must be willing to provide self-travel to study site. This study requires a screening visit, initial study visit, and monthly follow-up. Subjects are not reimbursed for time, travel, or physician costs.
This is a phase II study to evaluate the effectiveness of study drug sunitinib malate in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinomas of the salivary gland. There currently is not standard of care for this type of cancer and it has hoped that sunitinib will have antitumor effects on patients with this type of cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with malignant salivary gland tumors that have come back after treatment or have spread to other parts of the body. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a Phase II trial non-randomized study to evaluate the objective response rate and stable disease rate (primary endpoints), progression-free survival, overall survival and toxicities with the combination of doxorubicin and bortezomib in patients with incurable head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma. Also, we plan to collect tumor tissue from previous diagnostic procedures and baseline blood specimens for future correlative studies.
