Filter by:Background: - Carboplatin-paclitaxel is a commonly used chemotherapy combination for advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and other solid tumors. In a randomized clinical trial, the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and the additional chemotherapy drug bevacizumab had a better response rate and survival compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel alone. However, this trial treated only patients with a specific diagnosis and treatment risks. Further research is needed to determine whether this combination is useful for other diagnoses. - YM155 is a drug that targets a type of chemical often found in cancer cells. It has been investigated in several phase I and phase II clinical trials, and it has been shown to be well tolerated and moderately effective in treating advanced NSCLC in patients who had not responded well to one or two standard treatments. Objectives: - To determine the efficacy of the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel, and YM155 in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals 18 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma or other solid tumors for which standard therapy is not likely to be effective. Design: - Before the start of the study, participants will be screened with a medical history, blood tests, imaging scans of the affected areas, tumor biopsies, and other tests as directed by the study doctors. - Participants will be treated for six 21-day cycles, or 18 weeks of treatment. Each cycle will include blood tests and imaging studies as required. - On day 1 of each cycle, participants will receive an infusion of paclitaxel and carboplatin, followed by a 4-day infusion of YM155 (through a portable electronic infusion pump). - Participants will have a computed tomography scan or other imaging every other cycle (approximately every 6 weeks) to determine whether the therapy is affecting the cancer site. - After the sixth cycle, participants will return for follow-up visits at least every 3 months, and will be asked to remain in contact with the researchers to allow further study of the long-term effects of the treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety profile and the maximum dose of Debio 1143 (AT-406) that can be given to humans. This study is also designed to measure how much Debio 1143 (AT-406) gets into the blood stream (pharmacokinetics), and how Debio 1143 (AT-406) interacts with proteins related to cancer that the drug is targeted to affect (pharmacodynamics).
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of temsirolimus and pazopanib at different doses. Patients who have an advanced cancer that is not felt to benefit from standard treatment or are no longer responding to other treatment will be asked to take part in this study. The study hypothesis is that temsirolimus and pazopanib can be administered safely in combination and that combined targeting of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) signaling pathways will be effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and anti-tumor activity of MK2206 when administered with Every Other Day (QOD) and Once Weekly (QW) dosing schedules.
A dose escalating phase Ia-b clinical trial of the IGF-1 receptor inhibitor AXL1717 in patients with advanced cancer. The objective is to study the safety and pharmacokinetics of AXL1717 and to define an appropriate Phase 2 dose for further studies. This is the first study in man. The study is not designed to show tumor response.
AC220 will be administered as a once daily oral solution given continuously as 28-day treatment cycles, without food and without any rest periods, as long as there is no evidence of disease progression or unacceptably severe adverse events (AEs) related to the study drug.
This is a single dose, open-label, single or multiple center study to determine the interaction of ketoconazole with ABT-263 in approximately 12 subjects with cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the DLT, MTD and recommended Phase II dose of ixabepilone in Japanese patients with solid tumors.
This is a three arm study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABT-263 when administered in combination with erlotinib (Arm A), to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ABT-263 when administered in combination with irinotecan (Arm B), and to evaluate safety of ABT-263 monotherapy (Arm C).
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using the PEMFlex Solo II, a high-resolution camera for PET scan imaging, on an area of the body that has, or is suspected to have cancer will give researchers the same or better information about the disease compared to the images taken with a routine PET/CT. Researchers will compare the images taken using the PEMFlex Solo II to the images taken during your scheduled routine PET/CT scan, as well as any additional routine CT scan(s), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan(s), and/or ultrasound image(s) you may have had within the last 30 days or may have in the next 30 days.
