Filter by:PRIMARY: - To determine the toxicity and tolerability of intra-arterial hepatic oxaliplatin every three weeks administered in combination with systemic intravenous Fluorouracil, Leucovorin and bevacizumab to patients with advanced solid tumors metastatic to the liver. SECONDARY: - To document in a descriptive fashion the antitumor efficacy of this combination regimen. - To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of an alternate radiographic assessment tool and compare with available tumor markers and RECIST guidelines. - To estimate in a descriptive fashion the development of extrahepatic tumor recurrences.
Single centre recruiting approximately 80 patients who are given a rising single, followed by multiple, ascending oral dose of AZD2171, assessing the safety and tolerability of AZD2171 in patients with solid tumors and metastatic liver disease.
An open label multi-site phase II clinical trial of dose escalated sunitinib malate given orally once daily on days 1-28 of each 42-day cycle. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative or acute toxicity which in the opinion of the treating physician compromises the ability of the patient to receive treatment or patient desire to stop treatment.
The purpose of this study is to provide supervised access to treatment with TheraSphere® to eligible patients with primary and metastatic cancer and evaluate response to treatment, survival and toxicity. The study has the following objectives: - Provide supervised access to treatment with TheraSphere to eligible patients with primary and metastatic cancer to the liver. - Evaluate patient experience and toxicities associated with TheraSphere treatment - Evaluate predisposing factors that may influence results and toxicity
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, epirubicin, and carboplatin, 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 I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of capecitabine when given together with epirubicin and carboplatin in treating patients with progressive, unresectable, or metastatic cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin and capecitabine, 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 cetuximab, 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. Giving chemotherapy together with a monoclonal antibody may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin and capecitabine together with cetuximab works in treating patients with advanced liver cancer.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about quality of life over time from patients with liver cancer treated with image-guided therapy may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is gathering information about quality of life over time from patients with liver cancer treated with image-guided therapy.
RATIONALE: Gathering health information about patients with liver cancer over time may help doctors learn more about the disease and may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is developing a national registry and blood bank of patients with liver cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, doxorubicin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with interferon alfa may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with interferon alfa-2b works in treating patients with nonmetastatic liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
Besides liver transplantation, the curative treatment of primary hepatic cancer with cirrhosis remains the surgical resection. Radiofrequency or cryotherapy currently allow local ablation of small cancer, with very good results. However, all these treatments are followed by high rates of recurrence (50 - 70% at 5 years). Then, it seems essential to associate to the surgical resection or to the local ablation as "adjuvant" treatment, in order to prevent or to decrease the rate of recurrence. However, no evidence supports this attitude. Therefore, following curative treatment of primary hepatic cancer with cirrhosis, we propose to compare treated to untreated patients. Postoperative treatment means either intra-arterial chemotherapy or systemic chemotherapy. The main criterion of the study is time of survival without recurrence. The main secondary objective is the safety.
