Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nab-paclitaxel when given together with capecitabine and radiation therapy following first treatment with chemotherapy (induction therapy) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that is not spread to tissue far away but is not operable due to abutment or encasement of blood vessels nearby (locally advanced). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as nab-paclitaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving nab-paclitaxel, capecitabine, and radiation therapy together may kill more tumor cells.

This study is a Phase I, first in human, dose-escalation study of MORAb-066, an investigational humanized immunoglobulin G (IgG) monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets TF-expressing malignancies that include breast, pancreatic, colorectal, and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (adenocarcinoma). This open-label study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MORAb-066 administered weekly. This study will identify the MTD when MORAb-066 is administered IV once weekly on a 28-day cycle.

This phase II trial studies how well itraconazole works in treating patients with biochemically relapsed prostate cancer. Itraconazole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This randomized phase I trial studies how well trametinib with or without GSK 2141795 (protein kinase B [Akt] inhibitor GSK2141795) works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has come back (recurrent) or does not go to remission despite treatment (persistent). Trametinib and Akt inhibitor GSK2141795 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether trametinib is a more effective treatment for endometrial cancer when given with or without ATK inhibitor GSK2141795.

The purpose of this study is to see if megestrol acetate plus metformin will be more effective in returning the endometrial tissue to a normal state than megestrol acetate alone in patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia or early stage endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Stage I：preoperative therapy Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin with concurrent radiotherapy is superior to surgery alone ; Stage II: Perioperative therapy Perioperative Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin with Concurrent radiotherapy is superior to adjuvant Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin alone; A regimen of Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(XELOX) improves survival among patients with incurable locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of stomach and gastroesophageal cancer . The investigators assessed whether the addition of a perioperative regimen of XELOX regimen with concurrent radiotherapy to adjuvant alone improves R0 resection rate and survival among patients with curable locally advanced adenocarcinoma of stomach and gastroesophageal cancer

Adjuvant therapy has been proved effective in treating earlier stage or less advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of icotinib as adjuvant therapy in treating stage IIA-IIIA adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation. The primary endpoint is disease-free survival.

Pancreatic cancer has an extremely poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate of less than 5%. About 25% of patients have the opportunity for radically surgical resection when diagnosis. However, the recurrence rate is up to 85% within 2 years. Data from clinical trials indicated that gemcitabine-based adjuvant chemotherapy reduced recurrence and enhanced overall survival for patients who have undergone surgery to remove their tumor. Nab-paclitaxel could enhance the intratumoral concentration of gemcitabine; recent studies showed that nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine significantly improved progression-free survival and overall survival of metastatic pancreatic cancer patients. The present study is intended to investigate the activity and safety of the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel as adjuvant chemotherapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer after curative resection.

To determine the appropriateness of the dose of nintedanib 200 mg b.i.d. plus docetaxel 75 mg/m2 as starting dose by evaluating the safety in Japanese patients with body surface area (BSA) <1.5 m2 and locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma subtype non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of first line platinum- based chemotherapy

HCIP has shown efficacy in treatment of peritoneal carcinosis from colorectal background. Few studies have been published on the use of HCIP in peritoneal carcinosis from ovarian background but most of them were non-randomized phase II studies on a small population using different type of drugs and dosage. before this heterogeneity it seems necessary to standardize the utilization modalities of HCIP in peritoneal carcinosis from ovarian background
