Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose from injecting this vaccinia virus into tumors or infusion.
Treatment, In combination with BSC, Open-label, Single arm, Efficacy Study.
Patients with squamous cell cancer of neck nodes but unknown primary will have a PET-CT scan prior to biopsies. The utility of PET-CT will be determined in this subset of patients.
Primary Objective: - To determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) of pemetrexed when given with dexamethasone. (Please note: One of the three treatment groups will not receive dexamethasone) Secondary Objectives: - To assess dose limiting toxicity (DLT), which is defined as grade 4 neutropenia > 7 days duration, neutropenic fever, grade 4 thrombocytopenia, or any grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity excluding nausea/vomiting and excluding grade 3 transaminase toxicity. - To determine objective response rate, as defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), confirmed by 2 CT scans at least 6 weeks apart in patients treated with pemetrexed as a single agent with advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Primary Objective: - To determine the efficacy of the combination of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer by serial measurements of tumor response (extent, frequency, duration). Secondary Objectives: - To assess the safety and tolerability of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. - To explore the biologic effects of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel on tumor tissue by immunohistochemical analysis of microvessel density and phosphorylation of Platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGF-R). - To explore the effects of imatinib mesylate and docetaxel on surrogate markers in serum. - To assess the rate of survival.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if zalutumumab in combination with Best Supportive Care (BSC) is superior to BSC in non-curable patients with head and neck cancer
The purpose of this study is to compare the objectie tumour response rate between the cisplatin/5FU and cisplatin/5FU plus ZD1839 combination
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of ZD1839 250 mg and 500 mg when given either concomitantly or as maintenance to a standard therapy of radiotherapy (X-rays) plus chemotherapy (cisplatin) in terms of local disease control (progression-free) rate at 2 years.
SCH66336 is a drug that has been designed to block the growth of tumor cells and encourage tumor cell death. This is a randomized study where patients will receive study drug or no drug. Participants in this study are scheduled to have surgery to remove head and neck cancer.
