Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

This phase II trial is studying how well bortezomib works in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV lung cancer. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This randomized phase III trial is comparing the effectiveness of three adjuvant combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who are receiving radiation therapy and fluorouracil either before or after surgery for stage II or stage III rectal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which adjuvant combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating patients who are receiving radiation therapy and fluorouracil either before or after surgery for rectal cancer.

This is an open label, two-part study of temsirolimus given as a 60-minute intravenous (IV) infusion once weekly to pediatric subjects with advanced solid tumors. Part 1 is an ascending-dose study to evaluate the safety of IV temsirolimus given once weekly to subjects ages 1 to 21 years with advanced solid tumors disease that is recurrent or refractory to standard therapy or for whom standard therapy is not available. (enrollment completed) Part 2 will be conducted in three groups of children with refractory or relapsed pediatric solid tumors. Subjects with the following tumor types will be enrolled: neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and high-grade gliomas. Subjects will receive IV temsirolimus once weekly until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. (recruiting)

Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. This phase II trial is studying how well giving oxaliplatin together with irinotecan and capecitabine works in treating patients with metastatic or inoperable locally advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (cancer).

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intraperitoneal infusions of carboplatin when given together with intravenous infusions of either docetaxel or paclitaxel followed by intraperitoneal paclitaxel in treating patients with stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity carcinoma (cancer). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, docetaxel, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells

Dr. Frederick Millard, MD, Associate Clinical Professor at the UCSD Cancer Center, will be conducting a 12-week study in advanced prostate cancer patients. The study will be held at the UCSD Medical Center and will test an experimental investigational gene therapy vaccine designed to make the patient's immune system react against telomerase, an enzyme expressed in prostate cancer cells.

Adenocarcinoma of the anus is rare. It concerns less than 10% of anal cancers and its incidence is less than 0.2/100 000 inhabitants. Its management is not consensual and is most often derived by analogy with that of adenocarcinoma of the lower rectum. This is due to the rarity but also to the diversity of anatomical (anal margin, anal canal, lower rectum), etiological (primary glandular tumors or secondary to anal fistula, primary distant tumor and/or Crohn's disease) and histological forms (mucinous, intestinal, glandular adenocarcinomas and primary or secondary Paget's disease). Most of the literature consists of small case series and simple clinical cases in which the prognosis of these subforms has not been studied.

Multicenter prospective phase II study evaluating regorafenib in older patients with metastatic colorectal cancer

The objective of this study is to examine how adenocarcinoma of the prostate treatment differentially affects African American men's ability to work and to describe and compare changes in work ability (as measured through self-reported global work ability item) reported by African American and white adenocarcinoma of the prostate survivors before treatment and 6 months after treatment completion.

The purpose of this study is to see if implanting MatriStem will lower the risk of one of the more common complications after stomach or esophagus surgery.
