Filter by:The purpose of this multicenter imaging sub study is to evaluate the biodistribution and organ pharmacokinetics of 89Zr-MMOT0530A in patients with unresectable pancreatic or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. MMOT0530A is a monoclonal antibody that targets an antigen overexpressed in pancreatic and ovarian cancer. Subsequent to imaging with 89Zr-MMOT0530A, patients will be treated with DMOT4039A in the DMO4993g protocol (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT01469793) after this study. DMOT4039A is an antibody-drug conjugate composed of the monoclonal antibody MMOT0530A and the mitotic agent monomethyl auristatin (MMAE). By imaging patients with the monoclonal antibody MMOT0530A before treatment, the correlation between tumor uptake of 89Zr-MMOT0530A and response to DMOT4039A therapy will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to establish a reliable method for detection of rectal cancer patients with aggressive tumor at risk of metastatic disease and death by functional MRI.
Phase 3 placebo-controlled trial to determine efficacy of the probiotic LGG for reducing acute treatment related GI toxicity in patients with GI malignancy with phase 1 safety lead-in.
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of an innovative exercise program (EP) for patients during treatment for gastrointestinal tumors, breast and non small cells lung cancer, in terms of improved quality of life (QOL), fatigue and functional capacity respect the usual standard treatment (ST). DESIGN: Pragmatic randomized clinical trial in two parallel groups: EP and ST. SETTING: 7 Primary Health Centers (PHC) of the redIAPPISCIII, in coordination with oncology services. PARTICIPANTS: 250 patients with the above tumors, locally advanced or with metastatic disease, in adjuvant treatment, with Performance Status(PS) PS1-PS0. INTERVENTION: Both groups received standardized usual care. The EP group will receive, in addition, a nurse supervised exercise program for 2 months in the PHC and a second phase in community facilities during the remaining 10 months. MEASUREMENTS: The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline in the QOL+66 treatment, as measured by the specific questionnaire for patients with cancer EORTC QLQ-C-30 and Short Form(SF-36) overall. Secondary: fatigue (FACIT-F), radiological response, functional capacity (6 minutes walking and cardiopulmonary test), muscle strength and progression-free survival and overall. Predictors and confounders: age, sex, stage and tumor type, histology, treatment. ANALYSIS: We will compare between groups mean changes from baseline measurement of quality of life questionnaire (QOL) and other variables, on an intention to treat basis, using longitudinal mixed-effects models for repeated measures at 2, 6 and 12 months follow-up. Cost / effectiveness and cost / incremental utility associated to the program wil be estimated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new EUS-guided biopsy needle (ProCore®) comparing it to conventional EUS-TCB needle (Quick-Core®) in the diagnosis of your suspicious disorder. This study needle (ProCore®) is a new EUS-guided biopsy needle and has been recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use.
To evaluate clinical outcome for patients receiving treatment of suspected premalignant and malignant gastrointestinal lesions at Interventional Endoscopy Services. The primary outcome is curative endoscopic resection. Secondary outcomes include resection technique utilized, rates of en bloc resection and adverse event rates, including infection, bleeding, perforation and death, and one-year survival rates.
This study will attempt to determine the feasibility of combination of Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan, and S-1, the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended doses of the agents used, and to preliminarily evaluate the antitumor activity in untreated patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of everolimus administered as a first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with advanced or inoperable Gastrointestinal (GI) or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of two drugs. The two drugs are Sorafenib and Capecitabine. The drug Sorafenib is an approved drug which is used to treat certain cancers. The drug Capecitabine is approved to treat patients with advanced breast cancer as well as early stage colon cancer.
This phase I trial using the EffTox design will evaluate activity and safety of alisertib, an Aurora A kinase inhibitor, when given in combination with the selective VEGFR inhibitor pazopanib in patients with advanced, previously treated non-hematologic solid tumors.
