Filter by:Investigators propose to study the effect of panitumumab when combined with an active regimen, such as DCF (Docetaxel/Cisplatin/Fluourouracil), in previously untreated patients with advanced cancer of the stomach.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of Akt inhibitor MK2206 and lapatinib ditosylate when given together with trastuzumab in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive breast, gastric, or gastroesophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Akt inhibitor MK2206 and lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving Akt inhibitor MK2206 and lapatinib ditosylate together with trastuzumab may kill more tumor cells.
This multicenter study will assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of capecitabine in combination with Kadcyla (trastuzumab emtansine) in participants with HER2-positive mBC or HER2-positive LA/mGC using a Phase 1 design, followed by a randomized, open-label Phase 2 part to explore the efficacy and safety of the combination of Kadcyla and capecitabine compared with Kadcyla alone in participants with mBC. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study end.
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of epirubicin, cisplatin & capecitabine (ECX) with rilotumumab or placebo for untreated advanced MET-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma
Randomized Controlled Trial to Prevent Peritoneal Seeding in Gastric Cancer
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that capecitabine/oxaliplatin as perioperative chemotherapy is superior or not to operation directly for locally advanced gastric cancer in terms of 3 year disease-free survival (DFS) rate.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of everolimus administered as a first-line treatment in newly-diagnosed patients with advanced or inoperable Gastrointestinal (GI) or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
This multicenter, randomized, adaptive Phase II/III study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) compared to standard taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) treatment in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer. At the start of the trial (stage 1), participants will be randomized with a ratio 2:2:1 to one of three treatment arms: Arm A: trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) per intravenous injection (IV) every 3 weeks; Arm B: trastuzumab emtansine 2.4 mg/kg IV every week; Arm C: standard taxane therapy (docetaxel 75 milligram per meter square [mg/m^2] IV every 3 weeks or paclitaxel 80 mg/m^2 kg IV every week per investigator choice). At the end of the first stage of the study, the dose and schedule of trastuzumab emtansine that will be used in the second stage of the study will be selected by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC). The regimen selection analysis will be made after approximately 100 participants across all three study arms have been treated for at least 12 weeks. Once a trastuzumab emtansine regimen has been selected, Stage I participants who were assigned to the treatment arm which was selected for Stage II of the study and participants who were in the standard taxane group will continue to receive their assigned treatment regimen. Stage I participants who were assigned to the regimen that was not selected for further evaluation will continue to receive their assigned regimen and will continue to be followed for efficacy and safety. In Stage II of the study, additional participants will be recruited and randomized with a ratio 2:1 to either the selected regimen of trastuzumab emtansine or to the standard taxane therapy. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, initiation of another cancer therapy or withdrawal.
RATIONALE: Radiotherapy is currently the most efficient way to induce pathologic responses, which are associated with a favorable prognosis in localized tumors. Novel radiotherapy techniques are associated with significantly less toxicity than traditional radiation protocols and permit to avoid the toxicity to adjacent organs. Established chemotherapy regimens, such as cisplatin and capecitabine, and monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin and cetuximab before surgery aims to induce a pathological response and improve the prognosis after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of radiation therapy when given together with cisplatin and cetuximab in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for locally advanced gastric cancer.
This is an open-label, phase II trial evaluating the antitumor activity and safety of the oral Histone Deacetylase (HDAC)-Inhibitor LBH589. The treatment consists of 20 mg LBH589 three times a week in patients with chemo-refractory HDAC overexpressing. metastatic adenocarcinoma of stomach, esophagogastric junction or lower esophagus (Barrett carcinoma). One cycle lasts 21 days. A total of 28 patients will be enrolled in this trial. In patients experiencing LBH589-related toxicity requiring treatment rest or dose reduction dose may be reduced. Subsequent dose adjustment will be permitted based on outcome. Treatment will continue until disease progression or intolerable adverse events. Subsequently, the patients will be followed-up for one year.
