Filter by:This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of RO4929097 (gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097) when given together with whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well it works compared to whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery alone in treating patients with breast cancer or other cancers (such as lung cancer or melanoma) that have spread to the brain. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Whole-brain radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays deliver radiation to the entire brain to treat tumors that can and cannot be seen. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether giving RO4929097 together with whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery may kill more tumor cells.
RATIONALE: Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine ditartrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving temsirolimus together with vinorelbine ditartrate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving temsirolimus and vinorelbine ditartrate together in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.
This randomized phase II trial is studying topotecan to see how well it works when given with or without aflibercept in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Combinations of biological substances in aflibercept may be able to carry tumor-killing substances directly to small cell lung cancer cells. Aflibercept may also stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether topotecan is more effective with or without aflibercept in treating patients with small cell lung cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid works in treating patients with recurrent extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
AZD0530 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II study is studying how well giving AZD0530 works in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of obatoclax mesylate when given together with topotecan hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer or advanced solid tumors. Obatoclax mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving obatoclax mesylate together with topotecan hydrochloride may help kill more tumor cells
This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with relapse small cell lung cancer. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Determination of response rate Assessment of toxicity and determination of "time to progression"
This phase II trial is studying how well giving UCN-01 together with topotecan works in treating patients with small cell lung cancer that relapsed or progressed after previous chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. UCN-01 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also increase the effectiveness of topotecan by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving UCN-01 together with topotecan may kill more tumor cells.
