Filter by:This study is designed to evaluate if nelfinavir works as a radiation sensitizer in combination with gemcitabine (a chemotherapy). We are also looking to establish the maximum dose of gemcitabine that is tolerated with the nelfinavir and radiation therapy, so the dose of gemcitabine is increased based on how previous trial participants tolerated their dose of gemcitabine.
To determine the response rate and survival of gemcitabine and pazopanib in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This study aims to investigate and optimize imaging sequences and parameters of rapid real-time MRI in order to obtain adequate guidance for accurately and precisely delivering radiation to moving abdominal and thoracic tumors.
Cancer results from multiple mutations which cause cells to grow uncontrolled. It therefore may be necessary to inhibit several oncogenic targets to affect cancer cell growth. Studies have shown that panobinostat (LH589) causes a wide range of effect on endothelial cells that lead to inhibition of tumor angiogenesis (a fundamental step in the transition of tumors from a dormant state to a malignant one). Bortezomib triggers cell death in pancreatic cancer cells but the mechanism is not well defined but has been determined to be cytostatic. Combining these two drugs may work together in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
The purpose is to assess the overall survival of patients receiving either UFT/LV + radiotherapy (RT) or UFT/LV + Cetuximab + RT after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
This is an open multicenter randomized phase I/II study. The main purpose with this study is to investigate dose and efficacy of a combination of Irinotecan, Cetuximab and Everolimus given biweekly to patients with local advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer AFTER progression from 1. line treatment with Gemcitabine.
RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy together with gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy when given with or without gemcitabine hydrochloride in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that can be removed by surgery.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects, good and/or bad, of the combination of two drugs, gemcitabine and bosutinib, in patients with resected pancreatic cancer and whether this combination can prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back.
This is a Phase I study; dose escalating the combination of pazopanib when taken daily and ixabepilone when administered on day 1 of a 3 week treatment course.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitomycin C and ifosfamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving mitomycin C together with ifosfamide works in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
