Filter by:This study plans to learn more about the combination of AMG 386 and docetaxel for the treatment of advanced urothelial cancer. Subjects are being asked to be in this research study because they have advanced urothelial cancer which has progressed after treatment with a platinum-based therapy. The hypothesis is that AMG 386 will increase the historical response rate of docetaxel as a single agent.
- Safety and tolerability of three regimens of intravesically administered BC-819/PEI and BCG (number of participants with AEs, discontinuations due to AEs) - Recurrence after treatment with BC-819/PEI and BCG - Approximately 38 patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma TCC) of the bladder - After initial evaluation and qualification, patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups, either alternating, sequential or twice weekly
The mTOR (mammalian Target of Rapamycin) protein is the center of the mTOR pathway that plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation, survival and angiogenesis through sensing and integrating energetic signals from cellular environment. The mTOR protein is composed of two complex, mTOR complex 1 (mTOR C1) and mTOR complex 2 (mTOR C2). In regards of mTOR pathway dysregulations observed in TCC development, there is a rational to test BEZ23 in advanced TCC. BEZ235 is a pan-class I PI3K inhibitor that, in addition, binds to the catalytic site of mTOR, inhibiting mTOR C1 and mTOR C2.
This randomized clinical trial studies the Family Caregiver Palliative Care Intervention in supporting caregivers of patients with stage II-IV gastrointestinal, gynecologic, urologic and lung cancers. Education and telephone counseling may reduce stress and improve the well-being and quality of life of caregivers of cancer patients.
This study aims to analyse the tolerability (side effects and safety) with standard treatment (Javlor®) with the addition of a second anti-tumour drug: sorafenib (Nexavar®). This is the first time this treatment combination is studied in humans. Samples of blood, urine and tumour tissues will be analysed for molecular biomarkers. These biomarkers may potentially help us in the future in predicting whether a patient will benefit or not from the cancer treatment. The study also aims to investigate if a newer imaging method, called PET-CT (positron emission tomography-computed tomography), at an earlier stage (than a normal CT scan) can identify patients who will benefit from the given treatment.
Due to limited experience with cabazitaxel in TCCU, the study will be started as a randomised phase II study. The aim of the phase II study is to evaluate if the response rates (CR + PR) are sufficiently high to further study the treatment regimens in a phase III setting.
A multicenter, randomized, Phase 2 trial to study the effectiveness and feasibility of association of trastuzumab with combination chemotherapy in advanced or metastatic bladder cancer patients. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with combination chemotherapy may improve treatment efficacy on tumours overexpressed HER 2.
Bladder cancer is the 4th most common cancer amongst men. If bladder cancer invades the muscle of the bladder or fails local treatments, surgical removal of the bladder (cystectomy) with creation of a new bladder from intestine is required. However, standard cystectomy affects urinary function and sexual function. The investigators are evaluating two modifications to cystectomy to determine to what extent they preserve urinary and sexual function.
A study to determine the efficacy of Everolimus(Afinitor®) as third line therapy in patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium which failed or progressed after two lines of chemotherapy
This is a randomized, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate whether suppression of Hsp27 (Heat shock protein 27) production using OGX-427, a second-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), in combination with docetaxel can prolong survival time compared to docetaxel alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) that are relapsed or refractory after receiving a platinum-containing regimen.
