Filter by:This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter crossover study to determine the oral bioavailability of new ABT-263 formulations relative to that of the current ABT-263 formulation being administered in ongoing Phase 1/2a studies. Approximately 36 evaluable subjects with lymphoid malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and solid tumors will be enrolled in this study.
Phase 1 study to determine safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and recommended Phase 2 dose of AV-299 administered IV as monotherapy to patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. The study will also determine the safety, tolerability and DLTs of AV-299 in combination with erlotinib in patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
Background: - PARP is an enzyme that is involved in the repair of damage to DNA. Levels of the enzyme are higher in tumor cells than in normal cells, and may play a part in resistance to cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy. ABT-888 is an experimental drug that inhibits PARP and may help to increase the effectiveness of cancer treatments designed to damage DNA in cancer cells. - Topotecan is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating certain cancers. - This dose escalation study will test the two drugs at successively higher doses in small groups of patients until the highest safe dose is determined. Objectives: - To test the safety of the combination of ABT-888 and Topotecan (TPT) and determine the highest dose of each drug that can be safely given to humans. This is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). - To learn how the combination of ABT-888 and TPT works in humans and how the body handles the drugs. - To determine the side effects of the combination of ABT-888 and TPT at the tested doses. Eligibility: -Patients with solid tumors, lymphomas and chronic lymphocytic leukemia whose disease has progressed following standard therapy or for whom standard treatments are not available. Design: - ABT-888 and TPT are given in 21-day treatment cycles. At the start of the study, TPT is infused through a vein over 30 minutes about a week before cycle 1 starts. Starting on day 1 of cycle 1, ABT-888 is given by mouth twice a day for 7 days. TPT is given through a vein daily for 4 days starting on day 2. After the last dose of ABT-888 day 7, no more treatment is given for the rest of the 21-day cycle. - For the remaining cycles, ABT-888 is given twice a day by mouth on days 1 to 7 of each cycle, and TPT is given through a vein daily on days 1 to 5 of each cycle. - The first three to six patients enrolled in the study take the smallest study dose of the drugs. If they do not develop significant adverse side effects, successive small groups of patients take the drug at increasingly higher doses until the MTD is reached. Additional patients enrolled receive the MTD. - Patients have periodic clinic visits for their TPT infusions and for tests and examinations. Evaluations include measurement of vital signs, physical examinations, blood and urine tests, electrocardiograms and CT or other imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI. Tumor biopsies may be requested to study the effects of the drugs on the...
Multicenter, open-label study of NPI-0052 in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies or refractory lymphoma whose disease had progressed after treatment with standard, approved therapies that included 2 stages. The initial stage involved dose escalation to an MTD and determination of a recommended Phase 2 dose. The second stage comprised an expansion cohort at the recommended Phase 2 dose.
This is a study of the drug perifosine for patients who have no standard treatment options. This study is designed to identify which cancer types respond to perifosine, and determine which regimen of perifosine is most effective in each one. Patients with either solid tumors or with lymphomas for whom this protocol represents reasonable or optimal treatment will be randomized to receive either perifosine 100 mg daily or 900 mg weekly until disease progression. Based on currently available data it is anticipated that these doses should be easily tolerated by most patients.
Determine toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of escalating daily protracted irinotecan, with weekly vincristine, temozolomide and vantin; to evaluate the feasibility of repetitive cycles of this chemotherapy and to estimate the response rate to this combination in children and adolescents with recurrent solid tumors and lymphomas.
Studies have provided evidence that residual microscopic malignant cells in autologous bone marrow or blood stem cell grafts can contribute to posttransplant relapse. Researchers are currently exploring different methods in an attempt to purify or "purge" the stem cell product to minimize the risk of tumor contamination. The CD133+ antigen is a protein contained on or "expressed" on numerous cells in the human body including specific hematopoietic progenitor (blood forming) cells. However, this antigen is not expressed on certain cancer cells including neuroblastoma. A technique using the investigational CliniMACS cell sorting device has been developed in an effort to filter out only those stem cells that express this CD133+ antigen in order to infuse a hematopoietic stem cell product with no tumor contamination potential. The primary objective of this study is to establish safety of treating patients with a high dose chemotherapy regimen of Busulfan and Melphalan followed by autologous CD133+ hematopoietic stem cell support. Transplants recipients are expected to achieve engraftment as defined by an absolute neutrophil count of greater than or equal to 500/mm3 for three consecutive days by day 42-post infusion. Thus, safety of the treatment plan will be evaluated in terms of failure to engraft by this specific time period.
