Filter by:This was an exploratory proof of concept study to determine the clinical activity of tasquinimod in patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and gastric carcinoma who had progressed after standard therapies.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best schedule of vaccine therapy with or without sirolimus in treating patients with cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) expressing solid tumors. Biological therapies, such as sirolimus, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Infusing the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without sirolimus in treating solid tumors.
In the present phase 1-2 study the investigators aim to determine whether depletion of Tregs using metronomic cyclophosphamide can enhance the antitumor efficacy of everolimus in patients with mRCC not amenable to or progressive after a VEGF-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor containing treatment regimen. In the phase 1 part of the study the investigators will determine the optimal CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell-depleting dose and schedule of metronomic oral cyclophosphamide when given in combination with a fixed dose (10 mg daily) of everolimus. In the phase 2 part of the study the investigators will subsequently evaluate whether the number of patients who are cancer progression free at 4 months can be increased from 50% to 70% by adding metronomic cyclophosphamide (in the dose and schedule determined in the phase 1 part) to everolimus. In addition to efficacy, the investigators will evaluate treatment toxicity to determine whether this combination strategy is feasible and safe.
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of LY573636-sodium to be given in combination with sunitinib to patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and to determine any side effects that may be associated with LY573636-sodium and sunitinib combination in this patient population. The tumor response rate will also be assessed.
Patients with advanced kidney cancer or GIST (Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumor: this is a tumor of the intestines) may be eligible for treatment with one of the following drugs: sunitinib (Sutent ®) or sorafenib (Nexavar ®). These drugs inhibit blood vessel formation in cancer cells. These cancer cells are hampered in their growth. To enlarge the investigators knowledge on the effects and side effects of these two medicines, in the University Medical Center St. Radboud lot of research is done. This study is a part of that. Patients receiving sunitinib or sorafenib tell sometimes that they feel that they are less able to concentrate, that their memory is not working properly or that they are less able to imagine a solution to a complex problem . Perhaps you recognize these symptoms as well. In how many of the patients this occurs, how severe the symptoms are and how it is caused, is still unknown. The goal of this research is to examine how memory, concentration and knowledge processing works in patients using sorafenib or sunitinib. With the research the investigators hope to get answers to the following questions: 1. How common are problems with memory, concentration and processing of knowledge in patients receiving the drug sunitinib or sorafenib? 2. What are the problems of memory, concentration and processing of knowledge in the use of sunitinib or sorafenib? 3. What could be the cause of the problems that patients experience from memory, concentration and processing of knowledge in the use of sunitinib or sorafenib? 4. Is there a link between problems with memory, concentration and processing of knowledge and also experiences of fatigue or mood of a patient?
This is a study using sunitinib for patients ending treatment on a previous sunitinib malate protocol to continue to receive sunitinib. The patient must have been enrolled in one of the following studies: A6181030, A6181064, A6181078, A6181087, A6181094, A6181107, A6181108, A6181110, A6181111, A6181112, A6181113, A6181120, A6181126 and A6181170. Other Pfizer sponsored sunitinib studies may be included in the future.
This phase I/II trial studies whether a new kind of blood stem cell (bone marrow) transplant, that may be less toxic, is able to treat underlying blood cancer. Stem cells are "seed cells" necessary to make blood cells. Researchers want to see if using less radiation and less chemotherapy with new immune suppressing drugs will enable a stem cell transplant to work. Researchers are hoping to see a mixture of recipient and donor stem cells after transplant. This mixture of donor and recipient stem cells is called "mixed-chimerism". Researchers hope to see these donor cells eliminate tumor cells. This is called a "graft-versus-leukemia" response.
