Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors

Carcinoma of Unknown PrimaryNeuroendocrine Carcinoma1 more

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients who have advanced neuroendocrine tumors.

Combination of Carboplatin, Gemcitabine, and Capecitabine in Patients With Carcinoma of Unknown...

Carcinoma of Unknown Primary

This study is for patients with a type of cancer called carcinoma of unknown primary site (CUP), meaning that the site of the body where the tumor has originated is not clear. Currently, carcinoma of unknown primary site (CUP) accounts for about 5% of all newly diagnosed malignancies. The stage of the tumor is such that it is not treatable by surgery. Currently, the standard treatment for such a type of cancer at that stage is chemotherapy. However, the overall prognosis for patients with metastatic CUP remains poor, even if treated with conventional chemotherapy. Through ongoing research at medical centers around the world, doctors are trying to improve on the presently available chemotherapy regimens. The purpose of the investigators' study is similar: it is trying to determine whether a combination of three chemotherapy drugs - carboplatin, gemcitabine, and capecitabine - will improve the treatment of patients with metastatic CUP. The reason the investigators are interested in the above combination of chemotherapy agents is that each one of them is already used in patients with a variety of specific tumors, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, etc. This research study will help determine whether the combination of carboplatin, gemcitabine and capecitabine can be used and is effective in patients with carcinoma of unknown primary site.

Pulmonary Neuroendocrine NeoplasmPheochromocytoma8 more

Determine the safety and effectiveness of Lu-177 DOTATOC in adult subjects with somatostatin receptor-expressing Pulmonary, Pheochromocytoma, Paraganglioma, Unknown primary, and Thymus neuroendocrine tumors or any other non-.GEP-NET. The treatment regimen will consist of 4 doses of 200 (±10%) mCi 177Lu-DOTATOC administered at 8+/- 1-week intervals.

Adult Giant Cell GlioblastomaAdult Glioblastoma43 more

The purpose of the study is to conduct research of a new PET radiopharmaceutical in cancer patients. The uptake of the novel radiopharmaceutical 18F-FPPRGD2 will be assessed in study participants with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gynecological cancers, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who are receiving antiangiogenesis treatment.

Gemcitabine, Docetaxel, and Capecitabine in Treating Patients With Cancer of Unknown Primary Origin...

Carcinoma of Unknown Primary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, docetaxel, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel and capecitabine works in treating patients with cancer of unknown primary origin.

Trial Comparing a Strategy Based on Molecular Analysis to the Empiric Strategy in Patients With...

NeoplasmsUnknown Primary

This is a european randomised, phase III, multi-centric study comparing a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy based on molecular analysis followed by suspected primary cancer tailored specific therapy, to an empiric strategy in patients with carcinoma of unknown primary. The purpose of this trial is to determine whether or not a strategy based on molecular analysis is effective in improving the progression free survival rates of patients with carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP).

Histologically confirmation of a diagnosis of CUP, with imaging and all diagnostic investigations confirmed as CUP within a CUP Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-2 Patients must have disease that is not amenable to potentially curative options such as resection or radical radiotherapy If patient's disease presentation precludes tumour biopsy (inaccessible or biopsy thought not to be in the patient's best interest), the patient is not study eligible. Estimated recruitment period : 2 years Estimated duration of trial : 3.9 years including set up, recruitment, follow up and close down. Duration of Participation : Cohort 1 = 6-8 months; Cohort 2 = 8-18 months Estimated average length of treatment per patient =6 months

Targeted Agent Evaluation in Digestive Cancers in China Based on Molecular Characteristics

Biliary Tract NeoplasmsGastric Cancer7 more

This a prospective real-world navigation study using tumor DNA sequencing technology to sequence genes of previously treated and refractory gastrointestinal tumors, which are generally considered to be highly heterogeneous and complex, to screen potential molecular targeted drugs for individualized treatment. This study may provide feasibility and response information, which will be the basis for designing better randomized trials, which may change the pattern of cancer treatment. If the hypothesis is finally proved, it will help doctors and molecular biologists to choose the best drug (or combination of drugs) based on the individual oncogenomics of each patient.
