Active clinical trials for "Adenocarcinoma"

To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of patients treated with hypofractionated radiotherapy for limited metastatic NSCLC harboring sensitizing EGFR mutations after first line TKI therapy. An exploratory biomarker analysis in blood and tumor samples is also planned.

This is a non-randomized pauci-centre, open-label phase II study. The treatment will consist in a chemotherapy by FOLFOX and nab-paclitaxel following modalities determined in the Brown University Phase I study. In neoadjuvant setting : 3 months of treatment Main criteria of Withdraw of the treatment: in case of tumor progression, non acceptable toxicity, or patient decision. Post-operative treatment (for 6 additional cycles) is recommended, but will depend on the result of the neo-adjuvant treatment and the ability of patients to receive adjuvant chemotherapy based on tolerance of neo-adjuvant treatment and general post-operative condition (i.e. adjuvant treatment if no progression during neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, less than 80% of residual viable tumor compared to initial tumor volume, acceptable tolerance and post-operative PS 0 - 2). Adjuvant treatment must be initiated within 8 weeks post-operatively.

This randomised, controlled, multicentre trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of sequential icotinib plus chemotherapy versus single icotinib as first-line treatment in stage IIIB/IV lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation.

The clinical hypothesis of this study is that the addition of Panitumumab to the first line treatment combination of docetaxel plus cisplatin will provide benefit to patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Preoperative chemoradiotherapy(CRT) had been introduced in the comprehensive treatment of gastroesophageal junction and upper gastric cancers in the decade.According to some researches,CRT had shown its good curative effects in local control and prolonged overall survival.However,the optimization scheme for CRT and its influence to surgery remains controversial.Meanwhile,there were many design flaws in the past few research,such as the lack of adjuvant chemotherapy,the insufficiency in lymphnodes dissection.We decided to carry out the trial,eliminating all the bias as far as we can,to illustrate the efficacy and safety of CRT.

This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well paclitaxel, carboplatin, and metformin hydrochloride works and compares it to paclitaxel, carboplatin, and placebo in treating patients with endometrial cancer that is stage III, IV, or has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. Metformin hydrochloride may help paclitaxel and carboplatin work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel and carboplatin is more effective with or without metformin hydrochloride in treating endometrial cancer.

This is an open-label, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a modified regimen of oxaliplatin and capecitabine on metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma in the first-line therapy.

Intercalated administration of Iressa® (gefitinib) on days 5-18 of chemotherapy cycle improve the efficacy of Pemetrexed/platinum regimen given as first-line treatment for never-smokers with advanced (stage IIIB/IV) lung adenocarcinoma.

The ongoing study is a Phase II, open-label study to evaluate the efficacy of MBP-426 at a dose of 170 mg/m2 in combination therapy in patients with second line metastatic gastric, gastro-esophageal junction or esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Tesetaxel is an orally administered chemotherapy agent of the taxane class. This study is being undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tesetaxel administered as second-line therapy to patients with advanced gastric cancer.
