Filter by:This single-arm, open-label study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and trastuzumab with chemoradiotherapy in the adjuvant setting in participants with curatively resected HER2+ gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. Participants will receive trastuzumab 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and 6 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of every following 3-week cycle, with oxaliplatin 100 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) IV on Day 1 of Cycles 1-3, and capecitabine 850 mg/m^2 orally twice daily on Days 1-14 of Cycles 1-3 and on 5 days per week during chemoradiotherapy. Radiotherapy will be given at a total dose of 45 gray (Gy) divided into 25 doses on 5 treatment days each week for 5 weeks starting Day 22 of Cycle 3. Anticipated time on study treatment is 1 year plus a 1-year follow-up period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Cisplatin,5-Fluorouracil(5FU) and Afatinib as first-line therapy in patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The study will include 55 patients in all. The patients will receive open-label Cisplatin intravenous 75mg/m2 on Day 1, 5FU 750mg/m2 at 24-hour intravenous infusion on Days 1-4, and Afatinib 40mg per os on Days 3-5, 8-12, 15-19. The administration of Afatinib will start on Day 3 of each therapy cycle with an administration interval on each weekend ("Weekday on, Weekend off") for 21 days. Instructions are given on the dose reduction scheme in the presence of toxicity. The administration of the combination Cisplatin-5FU-Afatinib will be continued until disease progression, appearance of significant toxicity, completion of 6 treatment cycles, or withdrawal of consent. At completion of 6 cycles of the combination, in the absence of disease progression, the administration of Afatinib as maintenance monotherapy will be continued until disease progression, appearance of significant toxicity, or withdrawal of consent at the weekday on-weekend off schedule. Imaging will be applied once every 8 weeks, and once every 12 weeks in the Afatinib maintenance therapy phase.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum dose of LDE225 and BKM120 that can be safely given together to patients and/or the dose that will be used in future studies. This study will also learn more about how the combination of these two investigational drugs may work for patients with certain cancers (specifically metastatic breast cancer, advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme).
Sorafenib is a drug being studied for the treatment of cancer. Sorafenib has been shown to block certain proteins on the surface of some cancer cells called "growth factor receptors." Blocking these growth factor receptors can slow or stop cancer cell growth. Sorafenib is also known as Nexavar®. It has been studied in other types of cancers, including kidney cancer, and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating advanced kidney cancer. Because it is not approved by the FDA for treating esophageal cancer, it is considered an experimental treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine what effects sorafenib has on advanced esophageal cancer. These effects include whether sorafenib can shrink the tumor or slow down its growth and what side effects sorafenib will have on the tumor.
