Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This is a pilot study of the DRibble vaccine in patients with advanced prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine if doctors can use the results of special tests of subjects tumor tissue, that will look for specific abnormalities in the tumor, to choose a specific drug that is targeted to work against that abnormality (called molecular profiling) and to see what effects (good and/or bad) that targeted drug has on subjects cancer when it is given with standard chemotherapy.

This phase II trial studies how well ipilimumab works in treating patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)-related cervical cancer that has come back or that has spread to other areas of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of BIBW 2992 compared to standard first-line chemotherapy in patients with stage IIIB or IV adenocarcinoma of the lung harbouring an EGFR activating mutation

RATIONALE: Pralatrexate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving pralatrexate together with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pralatrexate together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage IV esophageal or gastroesophageal cancer who have failed platinum-based therapy.

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center, Phase II trial to evaluate the progression free survival in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas treated with a hedgehog inhibitor (GDC-0449) in combination with chemotherapy (gemcitabine and nab-Paclitaxel).

This study will explore the safety and efficacy of the oral PanHER inhibitor PF-00299804 in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung who are either non-smokers (<100 cigarette, cigar or pipe lifetime) or former light smokers ( less than 10 pack-years and stopped at least 15 years) or have known EGFR activating mutation; or patients with HER 2 amplification or mutation.

The purpose of this study is to assess objective tumor response in the single agent treatment of PEP02, irinotecan, or docetaxel for locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of three drugs (cyproterone acetate, medroxyprogesterone acetate and venlafaxine) in the treatment of hot flushes caused by leuprorelin LP 11.25 milligram (mg) in participants suffering from prostate cancer.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving belinostat together with carboplatin works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that did not respond to carboplatin or cisplatin. Belinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving belinostat together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.
