Filter by:This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-438162 (MEK162). This study has 3 parts. In the first part, patients with advanced solid tumors will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of the study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1. (Active, not recruiting) In the second part of the study, patients with advanced or metastatic biliary cancer will receive the best dose of study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 25 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2. (Active, not recruiting) In the third part of the study, patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) will receive the best dose of the study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 25 patients with KRAS mutation (Active, not recruiting) and 15 patients with BRAF mutation (Active, not recruiting) from the US will be enrolled in Part 3.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of Panitumumab with Irinotecan in patients with Wild-Type KRAS metastatic colorectal cancer refractory to irinotecan based chemotherapy.
The combination of capecitabine and cetuximab as first-line therapy will result in improved progression free survival compared to single agent capecitabine in patients with KRAS wild type colorectal cancer. Patients who are not able or willing to take Oxaliplatin/Irinotecan combination therapy are eligible for this study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), toxicity profile, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the pharmacokinetics of biweekly PEP02 treatment.
This trial is designed as a phase II evaluation of the effect of CY-503 or placebo on progression free survival (PFS) defined as the time from start of treatment until the objective observation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any course in patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, multiple-arm, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of EZN-2208. EZN-2208 will be administered as a single agent in patients with K-RAS mutations in the tumors. Patients with wild type K-RAS in tumors will be randomized to EZN-2208 + cetuximab or to standard of care (Camptosar® + cetuximab), patients must have failed regimens containing irinotecan (Camptosar®, CPT-11), oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®), and fluoropyrimidine. After discontinuation of study treatment, patients will receive care as considered appropriate by the investigator. Patients will continue to be followed for disease progression, subsequent anticancer therapy, and survival.
The primary purpose of this study is to find the highest tolerated dose of the study drugs: capecitabine, oxaliplatin, bevacizumab, and dasatinib given in combination to subjects with advanced solid tumors. This will occur in the first part of the study (Phase I). Once this dose has been determined, it will be given to subjects with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer in the second part of the study (Phase II). By giving these drugs in combination, researchers hope to evaluate the side effects of the study drugs in both groups, and to determine if this combination could possibly decrease or stabilize the cancer being treated. Subjects will be enrolled at Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) and Rocky Mountain Cancer Center. After satisfying eligibility and screening criteria, patients will be treated on 21 day cycles. ABOUT THE STUDY DRUGS - Capecitabine (Xeloda™) is an oral (taken by mouth) chemotherapy drug in tablet form made by Roche Laboratories Inc. Capecitabine has been approved for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for first line treatment (treatment that should be used for cancer that has not been treated yet) of metastatic colorectal cancer and also for metastatic breast cancer. - Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin™) is an intravenous (given by injection into a vein) chemotherapy drug made by Sanofi-Synthélabo. This drug is also approved by the FDA for use in metastatic colorectal cancer. - Bevacizumab (Avastin™) is a type of intravenous cancer treatment called anti-angiogenic therapy (a type of therapy to treat cancer that interferes with blood flow to the tumor, thereby stopping tumor growth, and possibly leading to tumor shrinkage) made by Genentech Inc. Bevacizumab is approved by the FDA for first line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in combination with other chemotherapy. - Dasatinib (Sprycel™) is an oral drug made by Bristol Myers Squib, Inc (BMS). Dasatinib is approved by the FDA for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia or for patients that are resistant to a medicine called imatinib mesylate (Gleevec™ ).
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study evaluating the efficacy of pegfilgrastim to reduce the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with newly diagnosed, locally-advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer receiving first-line treatment with bevacizumab and either 5-fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin (FOLFOX) or 5-fluorouracil, Irinotecan, Leucovorin (FOLFIRI). This study will also investigate the effect of adding pegfilgrastim to bevacizumab and either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI by evaluating overall survival, progression-free survival, and overall response rate in each arm at regular intervals over a maximum of 60 months follow-up.
Patients will receive local prophylactic treatment (Diprosone cream) during 8 weeks from the beginning of the EGF-R inhibitors treatment, on the areas of the body susceptible to be affected by folliculitis.
This study is designed to evaluate the mechanism(s) of resistance to the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody panitumumab given in combination with irinotecan in metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) patients with wild-type Kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus oncogene (KRAS) tumor status at the time of initial diagnosis.
