131Iodine-Tenatumomab Treatment in Tenascin-C Positive Cancer Patients
Breast NeoplasmHead and Neck Neoplasm8 moreTenatumomab is a Sigma-Tau developed new anti-Tenascin antibody. It is a murine monoclonal antibody directed towards Tenascin-C. By means of this antibody, Tenascin-C expression was studied on a commercial tissue array slides each carrying malignant breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian or B and T cell Non-Hodgkin Limphoma tissue sections. All these cancers type showed positivity to Tenascin-C between the 64% and 13.3%. Consequently, Sigma-tau is exploring the use of the 131I-labeled Tenatumomab for anti-cancer radioimmunotherapy.

Bladder CancerGenitourinary Cancer1 moreThe goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate how well ferumoxtran-10, a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) contrast agent, can detect cancer in the pelvic lymph nodes or malignant pelvic lymph nodes.
The Importance of Albumin Infusion Rate for Plasma Volume Expansion Following Major Abdominal Surgery...
Pancreatic NeoplasmsUrogenital Neoplasm2 moreTo study if plasma volume expansion is influenced by the rate at which a colloidal solution is administered in patients with a systemic inflammatory response induced by major abdominal surgery. Randomization will be performed postoperatively at the day of surgery with a 1:1 ratio with no stratification and the study drug will be given as a slow (3 hours) or rapid (30 minutes) intravenous infusion.
Phase I Study of MLN8237 and Pazopanib in Patients With Solid Tumors
Malignant Neoplasm of BreastCNS Malignancy5 moreThis phase I trial using the EffTox design will evaluate activity and safety of alisertib, an Aurora A kinase inhibitor, when given in combination with the selective VEGFR inhibitor pazopanib in patients with advanced, previously treated non-hematologic solid tumors.

NeoplasmsNeoplasms by Site11 moreThe intent of this protocol is to screen a new agent for activity in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.
Proliposomal Intravesical Paclitaxel for Treatment of Low-Grade, Stage Ta, Non Muscle Invasive Bladder...
Bladder Cancer Cell TransitionalNon-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer8 moreThis is a single-arm, phase 1/2a study of formulated paclitaxel in subjects with low-grade, noninvasive papillary carcinoma (stage Ta) of the bladder. Part 1 of the study will enroll 6 subjects (3 per cohort) with low-grade, stage Ta transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder who will receive escalating doses of paclitaxel formulated as TSD-001 every 2 weeks for 6 treatments until Dose Limiting Toxicity (or until the Maximum Deliverable Dose) is observed (Maximum Tolerated Dose established). Part 2 of the study will enroll an additional 10 subjects with low-grade, stage Ta (uni-or multifocal) TCC of the bladder who will receive weekly TSD-001 for 6 weeks at the highest nontoxic dose (i.e., MTD) established in part 1 of the study. May meet definition of low grade without histological tissue diagnosis if on cystoscopic assessment they have a solitary papillary tumor. Part 3 of the study will continue to track subjects enrolled in Parts 1 and 2 to determine rates of disease-free survival.
Glivec in Prostate Cancer Patients With Rising PSA Following Radical Prostectomy
Prostatic NeoplasmGenital Neoplasms9 moreTo investigate the ability of 600 mg of Glivec®, given once daily by mouth to patients with rising PSA following radical prostatectomy, to produce a sustained biochemical response during the first 6 months of treatment.
Study of Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF)-Methotrexate Conjugate in the Treatment of Advanced Tumors...
Breast CancerBrain Cancer6 moreThis phase I dose escalation study will evaluate IGF-Methotrexate conjugate (765IGF-MTX) in patients with advanced, previously treated tumors. 765IGF-MTX is administered as an IV infusion over 1 hour on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle. Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient refusal. Assessment of response will be confirmed with imaging studies performed at the end of cycle 2 +/- 7 days, and every 2 weeks thereafter.
