Active clinical trials for "Gastrointestinal Neoplasms"

This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib tosylate works in treating patients with progressive metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Sorafenib tosylate 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.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if abraxane can help to control colorectal and/or small bowel cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Abraxane is designed to block cancer cells from dividing, which may cause them to die.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the non-inferiority of overall survival XELIRI with or without Bevacizumab compared with FOLFIRI with or without Bevacizumab as Second-line therapy in Patient with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) will help to control the disease in patients with Stage 4 stomach or gastroesophageal cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of genetic analysis-guided dosing of paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride (FOLFIRABRAX) in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and irinotecan hydrochloride, 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. Genetic analysis may help doctors determine what dose of irinotecan hydrochloride patients can tolerate.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with gastrointestinal tumors. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, oxaliplatin, 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. Giving alisertib with more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may be a better treatment for gastrointestinal tumors.

The purpose of this study is to find the maximum tolerated dose of the combination of two drugs. The two drugs are Sorafenib and Capecitabine. The drug Sorafenib is an approved drug which is used to treat certain cancers. The drug Capecitabine is approved to treat patients with advanced breast cancer as well as early stage colon cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and interferon, which is able to stimulate the immune system to kill cancer cells, will help to increase tumor shrinkage in previously-treated metastatic gastrointestinal, kidney, or lung Cancer.

This is a phase I study designed to determine the feasibility of transplantation using a novel transplant approach that employs a two-stage haploidentical cell infusion following myeloablative conditioning. This strategy, which includes selective depletion of naïve T cells, may speed immune reconstitution thereby potentially reducing the limitations of traditional haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and increasing its potential therapeutic application. Additionally, the investigators intend to explore overall survival, event-free survival, hematopoietic cell recovery and engraftment as well as infection rates and complications in these patients.

This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study; to define a MTD/RD and regimen consisting of a first "priming" dose and escalated subsequent doses of XmAb18087; to describe safety and tolerability; to assess PK and immunogenicity; and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb18087 in subjects with advanced NET or GIST. The study will enroll dosing cohorts to establish a MTD/RD and regimen in subjects with advanced NET or GIST, then enroll additional subjects into separate NET and GIST expansion cohorts to collect additional data on safety and potential efficacy of XmAb18087.
