Safety Study of Recombinant Listeria Monocytogenes(Lm)Based Vaccine Virus Vaccine to Treat Oropharyngeal...

HPV-16 +ve Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

It is the investigators intention to investigate whether a specially designed vaccine, based on a genetically modified strain of the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and called ADXS11-001 is safe to use and is able to boost the immune system of patients presenting with Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) associated oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC). It is hoped that the vaccine will boost the immune system so that immune cells with cell killing properties are able to attack any cancer cells remaining after the patients have been treated. However, the vaccine is so novel the investigators are not sure whether it is able to do this and before they can answer that question in a larger group of patients they need to make sure that the vaccine is safe to use and has some effect on the immune system in the patients for whom they intend its ultimate use. In a previous study, patients with incurable cervix cancer which is caused by the same virus, were vaccinated with ADXS11-001. Although all patients vaccinated experienced flu-like symptoms, patients tolerated the vaccine well with no patient suffering long term adverse effects of vaccination. However, because the patients and cancer type was so different in this earlier study, the investigators need to test whether ADXS11-001 is also safe in patients with HPV associated OPSCC. That said, the earlier study guided the dosing schedule for the current study and patients entering the REALISTIC trial will receive lower doses than those administered to patients in the earlier cervix cancer study. It is hoped that by doing this, patients will experience fewer side effects of vaccination without reducing the chances of stimulating the immune system.

Induction and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With Cetuximab for Patients With Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal...

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Standard of care for treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is chemoradiation with concurrent cisplatin. Addition of a second agent, cetuximab, which targets nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells with high EGFR protein expression, may enhance the effectiveness of radiation and result in better tumour control. This study investigates the addition of 2 cycles of cisplatin/5FU chemotherapy with cetuximab, followed by cisplatin and cetuximab concurrent with radiation, for treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The LC Bead Trial; Transarterial Chemoembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)With a Drug-eluting...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma

This study involves the combined use of the FDA approved device, LC Bead and the FDA approved drug, Doxorubicin for the treatment of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The current indication of the LC Bead is for the embolization of hypervascular tumors and arteriovenous malformations. The study is designed to establish if drug eluting beads are more effective and less toxic than standard chemoembolization treatment.

Pioglitazone Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Stage IA-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Stage IA Non-Small Cell Lung CarcinomaStage IB Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma3 more

This pilot phase II trial studies how well pioglitazone works in treating patients with stage IA-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Pioglitazone hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab With or Without Emactuzumab in Treating Patients With Platinum-Resistant...

Fallopian Tube AdenocarcinomaFallopian Tube Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma18 more

This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects of paclitaxel and bevacizumab with or without emactuzumab and how well they work in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back after treatment with platinum chemotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies, such as emactuzumab, block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Bevacizumab may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Giving emactuzumab with paclitaxel and bevacizumab may work better in treating ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Gleevec/Taxol for Patients With Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma

Uterine Cancer

Objectives: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of imatinib mesylate in combination with fixed dose paclitaxel in patients with stage IIIC, IV or recurrent uterine papillary serous carcinoma. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of imatinib mesylate and paclitaxel in this cohort of patients. To determine the efficacy of imatinib mesylate and paclitaxel in patients with stage IIIC, IV or recurrent uterine papillary serous carcinoma whose tumor expresses either c-Kit, PDGFR or abl.
