Filter by:RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with progressive metastatic transitional cell cancer of the urothelium.
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational drug, vinflunine (BMS-710485), in combination with gemcitabine in patients with Transitional Cell Carcinoma who cannot be treated with cisplatin. This study will help to determine whether vinflunine in combination with gemcitabine will extend the time period until further growth of the tumor more than gemcitabine alone.
The purpose of this study is to learn if ipilimumab can be given safely at two different doses given to patients with urothelial cancer who are going to have surgery as part of their treatment. The immunological effectiveness of ipilimumab will also be studied.
Biochemotherapy (combined immunotherapeutic drugs and chemotherapeutic drugs) has shown virtue than that use chemical or biological drugs alone in the treatment of some malignant tumor. Here we investigated the efficacy of sequential intravesical therapy with EPI and BCG to EPI or BCG alone in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of bladder cancer after surgical management.
The purpose of this study is to define the optimal management of localised transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder. The main objective is to evaluate whether chemoradiation is superior to radiotherapy alone.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if patients who receive vinflunine plus best supportive care live longer than patients who receive best supportive care alone. This study will also investigate patient benefit, safety and whether or not vinflunine shrinks or slows the growth of the cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, paclitaxel, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with paclitaxel and cisplatin works in treating patients with advanced transitional cell cancer of the urothelium.
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared to carboplatin, paclitaxel, and placebo in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab are more effective than carboplatin, paclitaxel, and placebo in treating ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
This pilot study will explore the relationship of Ochratoxin A (OTA) levels in patients with upper tract transitional cell (TCC), renal cell, and testicular cancers by measuring levels of OTA in serum and tumor samples. Dietary exposure will also be analyzed.
To investigate efficacy and safety of 2nd line GEM monotherapy after CDDP regimen for patients with transitional cell carcinoma of urothelium
