Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving temozolomide with or without capecitabine works in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether temozolomide is more effective with or without capecitabine in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a combination of capecitabine, temozolomide and bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety profile / factors which impact safety and efficacy of Nexium capsules in daily clinical usage for the patients who have been prescribed Nexium for "gastric ulcer", "duodenal ulcer", "anastomotic ulcer", "reflux oesophagitis", "non-erosive reflux disease", or "Zollinger-Ellison syndrome"
Background: - Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES) is a rare condition in which one or more tumors (gastrinomas), usually in the small intestine or pancreas, produce high levels of the hormone gastrin. High levels of gastrin can cause several problems: (1) excessive growth of stomach cells; (2) excessive production of stomach acid, which can cause stomach or intestinal ulcers; and (3) growth of an unusual type of stomach tumor called a type II gastric (i.e., stomach) carcinoid. Patients with ZES suffer mainly from the effects of severe ulcer disease, but gastrinomas and gastric carcinoids both have the potential to spread throughout the body. Gastric surgery is the usual treatment for problematic carcinoids. YF476, an experimental medication, may block the effects of gastrin, which may reduce the need for surgery as well as provide better control of stomach acid in patients with ZES. Researchers are interested in studying YF476 in individuals with ZES who also have or may develop type II gastric carcinoids. Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of YF476 in reducing the size, number, or significance of type II gastric carcinoids or their precancerous cells. - To study the effects of YF476 on stomach acid production. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and type II gastric carcinoids or their precancerous cells. Design: - This study will involve a screening visit and five study visits. - Participants will be screened with a physical examination and medical history, as well as blood tests. - At the first study visit, participants will have an initial measurement of stomach acid production (gastric acid analysis) and an upper endoscopy to collect biopsies of esophagus, stomach, and small intestine tissue. Participants will receive YF476 to take by mouth once per day with food, and will be asked to keep a diary of medication doses, changes in symptoms, and any possible new symptoms or problems. - After 3 weeks, participants will have another study visit with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, and questions about current condition and any side effects. - After another 3 weeks (6 weeks after starting YF476), participants will have another gastric acid analysis and an upper endoscopy with biopsies. Participants may be eligible to receive a higher dose of YF476 if the endoscopy and biopsies show no significant change (decreased size and/or number of carcinoids or precancerous cells). If the stomach is completely normal at this visit on endoscopy and biopsy, participants will stop taking the study drug. - After another 6 weeks (12 weeks after starting YF476), participants will have another physical examination, blood and urine tests, and an upper endoscopy with biopsies. YF476 will be stopped. Participants who show improvement after treatment will have a final followup visit. Participants who do not show improvement will not have the followup visit, but may be asked to return for additional clinic visits to check for side effects from YF476. - The final visit will be a followup visit 12 weeks after the end of treatment with YF476. Participants who responded to YF476 will have blood tests and an upper endoscopy with biopsies.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well everolimus and octreotide acetate with or without bevacizumab works in treating patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that cannot be removed by surgery and have spread nearby or to other places in the body. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Octreotide acetate may interfere with and slow the growth of tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab and everolimus also may stop the growth of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving everolimus and octreotide acetate together is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab when given together with everolimus and octreotide acetate in treating patients with advanced low- or intermediate-grade neuroendocrine cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, may find tumor cells and help carry tumor-killing substances to them. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Octreotide acetate may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of neuroendocrine cancer. Giving cixutumumab together with everolimus and octreotide acetate may be a better treatment for neuroendocrine cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well temsirolimus and bevacizumab work in treating patients with advanced endometrial, ovarian, liver, carcinoid, or islet cell cancer. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving temsirolimus together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
RATIONALE: Everolimus and vatalanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving everolimus together with vatalanib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus and vatalanib in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine cancer. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and efficacy of high dose Prevacid in the long-term treatment of patients who secrete abnormally large amounts of gastric acid.
