Filter by:The primary goals of hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy/radiotherapy on treatment failure solid tumors are tumor response rate, while secondary goals are rates of acute and late adverse effects, local control rate, distant metastasis rate, progression-free rate and overall survival rate.
The primary objective of this study is to find the optimal dose of balugrastim by characterizing its pharmacokinetics (PK), and by comparing the pharmacodynamics (PD) of balugrastim to filgrastim in children receiving chemotherapy.
Background: - Imetelstat is a cancer treatment drug that may slow or stop tumor growth. It may also prevent tumors from spreading to other parts of the body. Researchers want to see if it can be a safe and effective treatment for children who have solid tumors or lymphoma that have not responded to other treatments. Objectives: - To see if imetelstat is a safe and effective treatment for children who have solid tumors or lymphoma that have not responded to other treatments. Eligibility: - Children and adolescents between 1 and 21 years of age who have solid tumors or lymphoma that have not responded to other treatments. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and imaging studies. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. - Participants will receive imetelstat on the first and eighth day of a 21-day cycle of treatment. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Tumor biopsies may also be performed. - Participants will keep taking the study drugs for up to a total of 18 cycles as long as the disease does not progress and there are no severe side effects....
In people whos cancers have a PIK3CA mutation, this trial will be evaluating the drug BKM120 as a possible treatment. BKM120 works by blocking the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)pathway, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and survival. The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug BKM120 can shrink or slow the growth of your tumor. The safety of BKM120 will also be studied. Your physical state, symptoms, change in the size of your tumor, and laboratory findings obtained while you are on study will help the research team decide if BKM120 is safe and effective in patients with advanced cancers.
Assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-α (rhTNF-α) when given as a single dose intravenously and in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in human subjects
The goal of this clinical research study is to expand the research following finding the highest tolerable dose of sodium stibogluconate combined with interferon alfa-2b in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer that has not responded to standard treatment or where there is no standard treatment for this type of cancer.
Oncolytic viruses are viruses that can be found in nature, but they have been modified so that they can no longer multiply in normal cells. These viruses "infect" cancer cells and kill them. Once the cancer cell dies thousands of the viruses are released and can potentially infect other cancer cells in the area. The effects of oncolytic viruses on the tumor are felt to be the result of a combination of the oncolytic viruses directly killing the tumor cells as well as the patient's immune system killing cancer cells that are infected with the oncolytic virus. Modern oncolytic viruses have been used for treatment of thousands of patients. The safety of such treatments has been good and there have been no deaths caused by treatment with oncolytic viruses. Many patients have benefited from the treatment in the sense that their tumors have stopped growing, become smaller or even completely disappeared. Some benefits are temporary, but about one third of patients seem to gain longer lasting benefit likely to impact survival. The effect of oncolytic viruses on improving survival has not been demonstrated yet. Oncolytic viruses can be created from many different types of viruses. In this study the investigators are using an oncolytic virus created from an adenovirus. Adenoviruses are the types of viruses that cause the common cold and the flu. Because replication in normal cells does not take place, these oncolytic viruses should not cause any diseases in normal cells. Further, to date there has been no incidence of passing the virus on to other humans from patients who were treated with oncolytic viruses. The purpose of this study is to see the highest dose of CGTG-102 (the oncolytic virus being used in this study) that can safely be given to subjects. The investigators will also evaluate whether or not the CGTG-102 is helpful in reducing the size of the cancer and improving patient survival.
This is a pilot, explorative, study to test the feasibility and safety of systemic infusion of donor ex-vivo expanded Mesenchymal Stem Cells to repair the kidney and improve function in patients with solid organ cancers who develop acute renal failure after chemotherapy with cisplatin.
AC480IV will be administered as a monotherapy and then in combination with docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors for whom there are no standard or curative therapies available. It is designed to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic parameters of AC480IV as monotherapy and also in combination with docetaxel under the conditions of the study.
