Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vandetanib and everolimus when given together in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Vandetanib and everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to determine the pediatric neoplastic response to chemotherapy proposed and evaluate sensitivity to oxaliplatin through immunohistochemistry ERCC-1 expression analysis.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of bevacizumab and temsirolimus alone or in combination with valproic acid or cetuximab in treating patients with a malignancy that has spread to other places in the body or other disease that is not cancerous. Immunotherapy with bevacizumab and cetuximab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as valproic acid, 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. It is not yet known whether bevacizumab and temsirolimus work better when given alone or with valproic acid or cetuximab in treating patients with a malignancy or other disease that is not cancerous.
This is a open-label non-randomized, dose escalation and expansion Phase Ia/Ib study to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pazopanib in combination with PCI-24781 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus and metformin hydrochloride in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced or metastatic). Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Metformin hydrochloride is a drug used to treat diabetes that may also prevent or slow the growth of cancers. Giving temsirolimus and metformin hydrochloride together may kill more tumor cells.
This study is for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new combination of drugs, PD-0332991 and 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies . PD-0332991 stops cells from dividing by blocking an enzyme called cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), which cancer cells need to grow and divide. By inhibiting this enzyme, PD-0332991 prevent cancer cells from growing and dividing, while the 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin damage the cells, hopefully increasing the killing of cancer cells, thus decreasing the tumors in the body. PD-0332991 is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in colorectal cancer. It is given as a pill which is taken once a day for one week followed by one week off. 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin are administered as an infusion into a vein once every 2 weeks and are approved for and used as chemotherapy for several cancers.
The purpose of the study is to compare outcomes of laparoscopic versus open liver resection for colorectal metastases in a prospective and randomized study. The study will include all non-anatomic liver resections in our institution. The primary end point is that the use of laparoscopic technique significantly can reduce the frequency of complications to liver resection. Secondary end points are 5-year survival, immediate surgical outcomes, quality of life and degree of impairment of the immune system.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well an adaptive computerized cognitive training program works compared to a non-adaptive computerized cognitive training program in treating younger patients with brain tumor who underwent radiation therapy. Providing a computer training program may improve the well-being and quality of life of patients with cognitive (physical and mental) function difficulties caused by radiation therapy to the brain.
This study will determine the rate of complete tumor ablation of small breast cancers (≤ 20mm) by Novilase Interstitial Laser Therapy (ILT), and determine the sensitivity and specificity of imaging (MRI, mammography and ultrasound) in detecting residual tumor post ILT ablation as correlated to histopathology from the post-ablation excision.
The purpose of the study is to combine and correlate data from morphological and functional MRI, molecular signatures of tumor hypoxia, the presence of micrometastases and tumor hypoxia with the goal being predicting of prostate cancer aggressiveness.
