Filter by:This phase II trial studies genetic and molecular mechanisms in assessing response in patients with prostate cancer receiving enzalutamide therapy. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Studying samples of tissue and blood in the laboratory from patients with prostate cancer may help doctors better understand castration-resistant prostate cancer. It may also help doctors make improvements in prostate cancer treatment.
This is a Phase 1/1b open-label study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of ABBV-399 as monotherapy and in combination with osimertinib, erlotinib, and nivolumab in participants with advanced solid tumors likely to express c-Met. Enrollment is closed for the monotherapy arms, Arm A, and Arm D.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of onalespib when given together with dabrafenib and trametinib in treating patients with BRAF-mutant melanoma or solid tumors that have spread to another place in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Onalespib, dabrafenib, and trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and navitoclax and how well they work in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic). Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Navitoclax inhibits members of the BCL2 family of proteins that are believed to play key roles in promoting the survival of cancer cells. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Bcl-w, proteins needed for cancer cell survival. Giving trametinib and navitoclax may help stop the growth of tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound ablative therapy is safe and feasible for children, adolescents, and young adults with refractory or relapsed solid tumors.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) with or without liver (hepatic) dysfunction. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking proteins needed for cell growth. When these proteins are blocked, the growth of cancer cells may be stopped and the cancer cells will then die. Hepatic dysfunction is frequently found in patients with advanced cancer and usually prevents patients from receiving standard treatments or from participating in clinical trials. Patients may also need dose adjustments or absorb drugs differently. Trametinib may be a better treatment for patients with advanced cancers and hepatic dysfunction.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors, with the morbidity of approximate 100 million cases per year. About 40% of patients present with metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer at the time of diagnosis, and about 25% of patients with local lesion will ultimately develop metastatic disease. 5-Fluorouracil（5-FU) was the only efficacious treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer before the nineties of the 20th century, and afterwards as the discovery of chemotherapy such as oxaliplatin, irinotecan and capecitabine, response rate as well as survival had been improved greatly. Most of advanced colorectal cancer will progress after first-line treatment; therefore, seeking an efficient and low toxic maintaining regimen to prolong PFS becomes a hot topic in oncologic field. Some clinical researches demonstrated that maintaining treatment followed first-line treating advanced NSCLC could extend PFS and OS. In metastatic colorectal cancer, patients receiving 5-FU/leucovorin(LV) maintaining therapy experienced significantly longer PFS than that stopped chemotherapy after six cycles of FOLFOX4 in OPTIMOX2 study. One phase II study shown that median PFS was 13.9 months, and median OS was 31 months in 30 patients receiving first-line treatment of six- month FOLFOX4 followed by UFT as maintaining treatment . A non-randomized small sample study conducted in department of medical oncology of Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center indicated that patients receiving first-line treatment of XELOX followed by capecitabine as maintaining therapy has significantly prolonged median TTP, comparing with the non-maintaining treatment patients,(14months vs. 9 month, respectively). Above all, so far, there is no data to demonstrate that regular 4-6 month chemotherapy followed by maintaining treatment could prolong TTP and OS for advanced colorectal cancer. Capecitabine is effective for colorectal cancer, and was approved as palliative treatment for advanced colorectal cancer and adjuvant chemotherapy; in addition, with its relative less frequency of side effects and convenient oral administration, capecitabine as maintaining regimen could be prone to be accepted by patients. Therefore, our study is designed to investigate that capecitabine as maintaining treatment after first-line palliative chemotherapy could improve TTP and OS for patients with advanced colorectal cancer through a perspective randomized clinical study.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nab-paclitaxel and bevacizumab in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), cancer of the cervix, endometrium, ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneal cavity. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may stop or slow tumor growth by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving nab paclitaxel and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells than nab-paclitaxel alone.
The trial is divided in two parts, Part A and Part B. Part A will involve dose-finding of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and MTD in patients with advanced solid tumours. Part B will involve expansion of the MTD to 3 cohorts including non-small cell lung cancer squamous histology, recurrent/ metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and other advanced solid tumours (except sarcomas).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib with or without whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs, such as trametinib, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving trametinib with whole brain radiation therapy may be a better treatment for brain metastases.
