Study Objectives
Pazopanib (Votrient) is registered for the treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma and patients with soft tissue sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy. It is administered at a fixed oral dose of 800 mg once daily (OD) regardless of size, age and clinical condition. It is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with an oral bioavailability of \~21%. Pazopanib is practically insoluble and highly permeable. When ingested with high fat food the pazopanib exposure (area under the concentration time curve (AUC)) is doubled. Common adverse effects are diarrhea and nausea. This might be caused by the non-absorbed proportion of pazopanib. A reduced dose taken with food could be a possible approach to reduce these side effects. Therefore the investigators initially want to determine the equivalent reduced dose of pazopanib when taken with a continental breakfast. Thereafter the investigators want to investigate whether the intake with food reduces the frequently reported side effects nausea and diarrhea.

Study Objectives
Raltitrexed is a potent thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor. Conversely to 5-fluorouracil (5FU), raltitrexed can be administered safely in patients with cardiovascular disease, as well as in patients with dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficit. Since raltitrexed is administered in 15-minutes infusion, complications related to continuous infusion can be avoided, and it becomes a potential good candidate for locoregional treatments as hepatic intra-arterial or intra-peritoneal infusion. Despite these potential benefits over 5FU, clinical trials failed in their temptation to replace the 5FU in colorectal cancer patients, mainly due to raltitrexed toxicity at 3mg/m2 every 3 weeks. Oxaliplatin has demonstrated a synergic effect when combined with TS inhibitors, and its association with raltitrexed was evaluated at 130mg/m2 of oxaliplatin and 3mg/m2 of raltitrexed, every 3 weeks. Actually, one of the first-line standard regimens in metastatic colorectal cancer patients is the biweekly FOLFOX (85mg/m2 of oxaliplatin, and infusional 5FU) plus bevacizumab regimen, since a significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit was observed over FOLFOX plus placebo. Biweekly administration of raltitrexed at 2mg/m2 demonstrated a favorable toxicity profile even in patients aged \>65 years. Besides, the association of raltitrexed, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab seems safe.
Then, the investigators decided to perform a randomized pharmacokinetic comparative study between biweekly TOMOX (raltitrexed 2 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 85mg/m2) and triweekly TOMOX (raltitrexed 3 mg/m2 and oxaliplatin 130mg/m2) regimens in metastatic colorectal cancer patients, in a "ping-pong" crossover strategy to reduce the intra-individual variability. Bevacizumab was allowed at the dose of 5mg/kg or 7.5mg/kg, in biweekly and triweekly schedules, respectively. The secondary end-points were, objective response rate evaluated by RECIST 1.1 criteria, PFS, overall survival (OS), toxicity, and the comparison of toxicity between two arms for the first 2 cycles.

Study Objectives
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as the statins, have proven therapeutic and preventative effects in cardiovascular diseases. Recently, there are emerging interests in their use as anticancer agents based on preclinical evidence of their antiproliferative, proapoptotic, anti-invasive, and radiosensitizing properties. Inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase by the statins interferes with the rate-limiting step of the mevalonate pathway, leading to reduced levels of mevalonate and its downstream products, many of which play important roles in critical cellular functions such as membrane integrity, cell signaling, protein synthesis, and cell cycle progression. Perturbations of these processes in neoplastic cells by the statins may therefore result in control of tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis. The statins have demonstrated growth inhibitory activity in cancer cell lines and preclinical tumor models in animals. Simvastatin, a member of the statin family, profoundly impaired basal and growth factor-stimulated SCLC cell growth in vitro and induced apoptosis. SCLC cells treated with simvastatin were sensitized to the effects of the chemotherapeutic agent etoposide. Moreover, SCLC tumour growth in vivo was inhibited by simvastatin. Therefore, the investigators will conduct this phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy \& toxicity of irinotecan/cisplatin plus simvastatin in patients with chemo-naïve ED-SCLC.

Study Objectives
Background:
Patients with the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) are at increased risk of developing tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system. These include plexiform neurofibromas. The conventional treatment of these internal plexiform neurofibromas is surgery. This surgery can be possible on a single and limited tumor. On the other hand these tumors are often surgically intractable due to their multiplicity and their infiltrating characteristics Increased activity of mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) protein is seen in neurofibromas. mTOR inhibitor rapamycin , or its derivatives such as everolimus may slow or stop tumor growth in patients with NF1.
Objectives:
Primary objectives To determine whether everolimus has an effect on the volume of surgically intractable and life-threatening internal plexiform neurofibromas in patients with neurofibromatosis 1.
Secondary objectives To determine whether everolimus has an effect on the number and the volume of cutaneous neurofibromas; to determine whether everolimus modify the signaling pathways in cutaneous neurofibromas.
Eligibility:
- Adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 with at least one internal plexiform neurofibroma, life-threatening or causing significant morbidity through compression of organs. This or these internal plexiform neurofibroma(s) should be intractable by surgery.
Design:
An open-label, single arm, non-randomized, single stage phase IIa study. Baseline phase: Baseline evaluations will be performed within 2 weeks, and up to a maximum of 4 weeks for specific exams, before the first dose of study drug.
Treatment phase/duration of treatment: All patients will be treated with RAD001 10 mg p.o daily dose for one year except in case of unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study for any other reason.
Follow-up phase: All patients will have two follow-up visits scheduled at 18 and 24 months after the first dose of the study drug to follow for adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) that may have occurred after discontinuation from the study and for internal plexiform neurofibromas assessment.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this study is to determine whether using FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) prior to surgery in patients with pancreatic cancer is safe and well tolerated. This study will obtain preliminary data on the response of the cancer to this therapy by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and by studying the cancer after it is resected surgically.
In addition, the investigators will perform biochemical studies on the tumor tissue obtained from your tissue biopsy as well as from the tumor removed by the surgeon in order to measure the effect of treatment with FOLFIRINOX and SBRT on several proteins that may be important in the behavior of pancreatic cancer cells.
The data obtained from this trial will be extremely valuable to help improve the approach to treating pancreatic cancer in the future. If you do not undergo surgery after completion of FOLFIRINOX + SBRT, the investigators will request a second biopsy of the tumor under computer tomography (CT) -guidance in order to measure the effect of treatment on your tumor.

Study Objectives
The investigators will look for the presence of the fusion gene in all patients operated on for glioma. This search will be limited to all gliomas that show no IDH1 mutation, the latter being sought in both routine and anomalies never co-existing.
The hypothesis is that the rate of progression-free survival in grade IV gliomas and III without IDH1 mutation, with the usual chemotherapy, only 15% at 6 months (ie, 85% of patients relapse before 6 months of treatment), must be with this new treatment 35% (primary endpoint).
The main objective is the evaluation of disease-free survival at 6 months.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects an experimental drug, called interleukin 21 or rIL-21, will have on malignant melanoma and whether these effects look promising compared to dacarbazine. In addition, this study will look at the side effects of rIL-21, and some special blood tests will be done to check the level of rIL-21 in the blood. This study will also look at previously removed melanoma tissue to determine which patients might benefit most from this treatment.
This research is being done because currently there is no effective treatment for this type of cancer.
Conditions: Melanoma
Intervention / Treatment:
DRUG: rIL-21, DRUG: Dacarbazine

* Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
* Age > 18 years.
* ECOG performance status of 0 <= age <= 1.
* Previous Therapy:
Immunotherapy: Prior adjuvant immunotherapy for melanoma is permitted if completed >= 1 month prior to study entry. No immunotherapy for metastatic disease is permitted. rIL-21 or dacarbazine must be the first systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
Chemotherapy: Patients must not have received any prior chemotherapy (including regional therapy). rIL-21 or dacarbazine must be the first systemic therapy for metastatic disease (except for RAF and MEK-Inhibitors).
Surgery: Previous surgery is permissible. Patient must be > 4 weeks since any major surgery.
Radiation Therapy: Previous radiation therapy is permitted with exception of radiation therapy for brain metastases. Patients must be > 4 weeks since the last treatment with radiation. Exceptions may be made, however, for low dose, non-myelosuppressive radiotherapy. Patients must have recovered from the toxic effects of radiation.
* Laboratory Requirements: (must be done within 7 days prior to randomization) Hematology: Absolute granulocytes (AGC) >= 1.5 x 109/L, Platelets >= 100 x 109/L Chemistry: Serum creatinine <= 1.5 x UNL, Bilirubin <= UNL AST and ALT <= 2.5 x UNL, LDH <= 2.5 x UNL.

* Sexually active patients must agree to use a medically accepted form of contraception while receiving study therapy.
* Patient consent must be obtained according to local Institutional and/or University Human Experimentation Committee requirements. It will be the responsibility of the local participating investigators to obtain the necessary local clearance, and to indicate in writing to the NCIC CTG Study Coordinator that such clearance has been obtained, before the trial can commence in that centre. Because of differing requirements, a standard consent form for the trial will not be provided but a sample form is given in Appendix VII. A copy of the initial REB approval and approved consent form must be sent to the central office. The patient must sign the consent form prior to randomization. Please note that the consent form for this study must contain a statement which gives permission for qualified representatives of the NCIC CTG, BMS, ZymoGenetics, the company collaborator, and regulatory authorities to review patient records (see section 16 for further details) and a statement which gives permission for NCIC CTG to access and study tissue for biomarker assessments.
* Patients must be accessible for treatment and follow-up. Patients randomized on this trial must be treated and followed at the participating centre. This implies there must be reasonable geographical limits (for example: 2 hour's driving distance) placed on patients being considered for this trial.
* In accordance with NCIC CTG policy, protocol treatment is to begin within 5 working days of patient randomization.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with known HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection.

* Patients may not have received any other investigational agents within 28 days of study entry, and may not receive concurrent treatment with other anti-cancer therapy or investigational agents while on protocol therapy.
* Patients with known brain metastases or history of CNS metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. A head CT or MRI is required on all patients to rule out brain metastases.
* Pregnant or lactating women. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with rIL-21 or dacarbazine, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with protocol therapy.
* Prohibited Medications: Long Term (> 7 days) Systemic Corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone, dexamethasone, etc.) because these may counteract the stimulatory effects of rIL-21 on lymphocytes. (Note: Topical steroids are allowed). | 12,235 |

Study Objectives
The purpose of this interventional study is to determine the feasibility to combine standard chemotherapy (Carbo/Caelyx or doxorubicin) for recurrent ovarian cancer with immunotherapy (Tocilizumab and Peg-Intron).
This study combines standard chemotherapy Carboplatin-Caelyx or doxorubicin with a monoclonal antibody against IL-6R (tocilizumab). High IL-6 levels correlate with poor prognosis and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer patients. In cases of chemoresistant ovarian cancer, therefore, modulation of the IL-6 pathway, by blocking the IL-6 receptor, may represent a promising strategy to both abolish drug resistance and amplify host immunity in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Blockade of the IL-6/IL-6R pathway may enhance immunogenic cell death and restore local normal DC maturation. In addition, the use of interferon-alpha (Peg-Intron) allows the full maturation of DC, thereby enhancing the anti-tumor response.

Study Objectives
Despite significant progress in overall survival and event-free survival in Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT), therapeutic options for graft-versus-host disease control remain limited, particularly in steroid-refractory patients. Several strategies have been proposed in the last 20 years but so far, the results have been inconclusive, complicated by the small population afflicted, inconsistent treatment schedules, different disease classifications and diagnosis methods. The number of studies concerning pediatric patients are even smaller. First line therapy for acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is steroid treatment that achieve partial or complete remission of the disease in a variable percentage of cases (40-60%), depending mainly to severity of GVHD and number of organ involvement, with hepatic and gastrointestinal GVHD particularly refractory to steroid treatment. For second line therapy there is no a standardized strategy with a great variety of immunosuppressive treatment without a real superiority of a drug in comparison to another. Steroid refractory acute GVHD is therefore one of the most important challenges in HSCT field. One of the more promising routes, based on published data and clinical experience, is the off-label use of Infliximab, an anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor α drug (already approved for many rheumatologic and autoimmune diseases) administered as a second line treatment in patients with steroid-refractory aGVHD at the standardized dosage of 10 mg/kg, although limited evidence has been published to validate this subscription. Biological pattern that could explain susceptibly of GVHD to infliximab treatment could lie in physiopathology of acute gastrointestinal GVHD that may resemble ulcerative rectocolitis. In this case, relation to Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) and Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNFα) levels could be critical in monitoring the efficacy of the drug and need of further doses. Limited published data and clinical experience show that Infliximab may be able to further control symptoms and inflammatory response in a promising percentage of treated patients, although some have no benefit from the treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of TNFα concentration in aGVHD, its levels fluctuation and clinical response of GVHD to Infliximab treatment in steroid-refractory pediatric patients.

Study Objectives
Despite these initial positive signals in recent statistics, breast cancer continues to claim a substantial number of lives approximately 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2005 Thus the current treatment paradigm - surgery, radiation and systemic chemo and or hormonal therapy and biological therapies -still fails to cure a significant number of women with early breast cancer and new treatment strategies are needed to improve current results both in early and advance disease.
Recurrent or metastatic breast cancer is an incurable malignancy with a median survival of 20-24 months \[Hortobagyi , 1998\] and this has not changed significantly over the last decade with fewer than 20% of patients still alive at 5 years after a diagnosis of recurrence. Although there have been small improvements in survival with the new therapies, metastatic breast cancer remains an incurable and, ultimately, fatal disease. The introduction of novel combination therapies have the potential to target different pathways in the cancer cell, leading to improved efficacy. Further studies to optimize combination therapy, while ameliorating AEs, are critically important to patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Lapatinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor which potently inhibits both EGFR and HER2\[Spector, 2005\]. Lapatinib in combination with capecitabine is approved in more than 20 countries for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress HER2. All patients in the study leading to the lapatinib approval had received prior therapy including an anthracycline, a taxane, and trastuzumab.
The relevance of the HER2/neu target in breast cancer, combined with the promising preclinical and clinical data regarding the use of lapatinib, provide the rationale for a formal evaluation of this agent combined with other non taxane agents as gemcitabine or vinorelbine after progression on taxanes and trastuzumab based therapies in metastatic disease setting as these chemotherapy options are used in daily practice in this subset of patients.
This is a randomized phase II, open label,multicentric , international, 3 arms treatment study in patients with confirmed HER2+ metastatic breast cancer after taxane progression . The main objective is to investigate the (CBR) and safety in 3 different combinations of Lapatinib therapy (plus capecitabine or gemcitabine or vinorelbine) and to determine whether either, or both, of Lapatinib /Vinorelbine or Lapatinib/Gemcitabine can be considered a reasonable alternative to the established Lapatinib/Capecitabine standard combination . The decision as to whether to study either of the new combinations further will be based on both the toxicity and the efficacy profiles.

Study Objectives
In the First-in-Human, JWAA trial, the LY2780301 displayed a favourable safety profile, a high pharmacokinetic exposure and the ability to decrease pS6. LY2780301 has shown synergistic activity in combination with targeted agents or chemotherapy including gemcitabine. We propose herein to combine LY2780301 with gemcitabine and to treat different tumor types with molecular alterations. This may validate the anti-tumor activity of the LY2780301 and it will increase our knowledge regarding molecular predictors of its efficacy.

Study Objectives
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and leuprolide acetate or goserelin before and during radiation therapy works in treating patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as abiraterone acetate, leuprolide acetate, and goserelin, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving abiraterone acetate and leuprolide acetate or goserelin before or together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.

Study Objectives
This study is proposed based on our work showing that the diabetes drug Pioglitazone strongly inhibits growth of tissue cultured squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin. This occurs at concentrations readily achievable by oral administration of this drug using doses currently approved for the treatment of diabetes. In our study, we propose to enroll 40 non-diabetic adult subjects (18-80 yrs of age inclusive) with a documented clinical history of frequent occurrence of skin squamous cell cancer to receive Pioglitazone (Actos®,Takeda Pharmaceuticals). Each subject will receive usual care for all new tumors they develop while on study (i.e, excision and plastic repair). The study protocol will randomize (1:1) patients for 6 months of observation followed by 6 months of treatment (group 1) or 6 months of treatment with drug followed by observation for 6 months (to examine washout effects). The biopsy specimens collected on and off therapy will be examined to determine if they express AKR1C3, an enzyme we believe increases resistance of SCC to prostaglandin inflammatory mediators. We will also examine the histologic grade of the removed tumors and study whether Pioglitazone treatment can decrease the number of aggressive versus well differentiated tumors in study patients. This pilot study is designed to detect a statistically significant change in SCC tumor numbers but is not sponsored by the drug manufacturer. The data obtained will not be used to effect a change in the product label.

Study Objectives
This is a first time in human (FTIH), open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of GSK3174998 administered intravenously to participants with selected advanced or recurrent solid tumors. This dose-escalation study will assess the safety, activity of GSK3174998 as monotherapy (Part 1), in combination with pembrolizumab (Part 2), and potentially in combination with additional therapies.
The study will be conducted in 2 parts, each part consisting of starting with a dose-escalation phase followed by a cohort expansion phase. GSK3174998 will first be evaluated as monotherapy in escalating doses. Once a dose of GSK3174998 has been identified that is both tolerable and demonstrates pharmacodynamic activity, enrollment of Part 2 may begin. In Part 2, escalating doses of GSK3174998 will be evaluated with fixed doses of pembrolizumab.
The maximum duration of treatment with GSK3174998 and pembrolizumab will be approximately 2 years or 35 cycles, whichever comes first. The follow-up period for safety assessments will be a minimum of 3 months from the date of the last dose. The post-treatment follow-up period will include disease assessments every 12 weeks until documented progressive disease (PD). Approximately 141 participants with selected advanced or recurrent solid tumors will be enrolled.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of dasatinib that can be safely given to a patient when the drug is given in combination with the known anticancer drug paclitaxel. Paclitaxel is an established anti-cancer drug, used in the treatment of many cancers, and it is an approved treatment for breast cancer. Dasatinib has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as a single therapy in another kind of cancer, but its use in breast cancer patients, and in combination with paclitaxel is investigational.
In this study, we will test the safety of dasatinib when given at different dose levels in combination with paclitaxel. We want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on the patient and on metastatic breast cancer.

Study Objectives
This will be a multi-center, open-label, single-arm, prospective study, in which up to 18 adult patients requiring radiotherapy for metastatic disease or for an inoperable primary tumor with no definitive curative treatment option, will undergo a combination treatment of intravenously (IV) delivered PROMITIL and standard of care radiotherapy. The treatment regimen will involve administration of two PROMITIL doses, delivered at a 21-day interval, and a course of EBR (type of RT according to investigator's preference), initiated 1-3 days after the first PROMITIL dose and completed within a 2-week period. EBR will consist of no more than 10 fractions delivered within 2 weeks as conventionally fractionated RT, or SBRT. Treatment safety will be assessed on a weekly basis throughout the two 21-day treatment courses (42 days) and throughout the follow-up period (up to Day 127).

Study Objectives
This study is designed to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of five different doses of DTA-H19 given as six intravesical infusions into the bladder of patients with superficial bladder cancer who have failed intravesical therapy with Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG).DTA-H19 is a DNA plasmid that contains H19 gene regulatory sequences that drive the expression of an intracellular toxin \[diphtheria toxin A (DTA) chain\]only in cancer cells and not in normal cells. In line with the standard procedure for DNA plasmid pharmaceutical products, another chemical component will be added to the solution, called PEI (polyethlenimine) in a liquid solution, which improves the ability of the DNA plasmid to enter the cells.

Study Objectives
The purpose of this research study is to determine if megestrol acetate can be used as an appetite stimulant to improve weight gain in children with cancer and poor nutrition. The study design is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial. Secondarily, we would like to determine what effect any improvement in weight has on body composition by DEXA scan. This includes whether the drug results in an increase in fat, fat-free mass, or both. If our patients gain weight we would like to know if it improves their quality of life. Finally, many children with cancer lose too much weight and require feeding to occur through a tube put down their nose into their stomach (NG feeding). The tube can be painful to put down and is uncomfortable when in. Some children may also require nutrition to be given into a vein (Total Parenteral Nutrition or TPN). We are trying to see if we can prevent these procedures from happening by having the subjects gain weight. This study will tell doctors if the drug truly works (or does not work) in children who are underweight.

Study Objectives
Adequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy is paramount for optimal diagnostic accuracy and safety. However, the need for high volumes to clean the colon often makes it difficult for patients to adhere to. Therefore, new low volume bowel preparation fluids have been developed. Little is known on the impact of these low volume bowel preparation fluids (1L), compared to intermediate-volume (2L) laxatives on quality of life (QoL) and cost-effectiveness. This study aims to provide further evidence on the presumed positive effect of ultra-low volume bowel preparation on patients' QoL and cost-effectiveness, in addition to its already demonstrated positive effect on bowel cleansing for colonoscopy.
This multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in four hospitals in the Netherlands. Secure web-based questionnaires will be used before starting bowel preparation (baseline, t=0) and within 1 week (t=1) after colonoscopy, to assess the impact of bowel preparation on QoL and explore costs and productivity loss for cost-effectiveness analysis.

Study Objectives
Anlotinib is a novel oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor and primary targeted to VEGFR, FGFR, PDGFR and c-Kit. The ALTER-0303 trial showed that patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received anlotinib as third-line or further therapy had more survival benefit. Pemetrexed plus platinum-based chemotherapy (AP) was long considered as the first line treatment in non-squamous NSCLC patients with negative driver mutation. In this dose exploration study, the primary objective is to establish the safety profile of anlotinib combined with AP in non-squamous NSCLC patients by identifying dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerance dose (MTD), the recommended phase II dose, and schedule. Secondary objective includes the assessment of preliminary antitumor effect.

Study Objectives
This pilot trial studies different high-dose chemotherapy regimens with or without total-body irradiation (TBI) to compare how well they work when given before autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in treating patients with hematologic cancer or solid tumors. Giving high-dose chemotherapy with or without TBI before ASCT stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood or bone marrow and stored. More chemotherapy may be given to prepare for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.

Study Objectives
St Bartholomew's hospital completed a study using the regimen GAMEC (PEG-filgrastim, actinomycin-D, methotrexate, etoposide, cisplatin). The results of this study showed that 50% of patients with relapsed testicular cancer could be cured using this treatment. These results are very encouraging and compare very favourably to other treatment protocols. In reviewing this study, it became clear that of the 5 cycles of treatment which were proposed, the first 3 seemed to matter and the last 2 did not appear important. In addition there was a group of patients who appeared to do particularly well namely patients under the age of 35 and those who had a normal LDH (lactate dehydrogenase). LDH is a blood test which monitors cancer activity. Selecting patients which fill both these criteria, this trial aims to see whether the investigators can maintain the good results the investigators have seen but using only 3 cycles of treatment. This will therefore shorten the treatment from 10 weeks to 6 weeks, thus reducing the side effects.

Study Objectives
HER2 is a protein that sits on the surface of breast cancer cells in some people. Because you are one of these people, your breast cancer is called "HER2-positive." The HER2 protein is involved in the growth of your breast cancer. Certain drugs can interfere with the ability of the HER2 protein to cause breast cancer growth. Trastuzumab is one of these drugs. You must have already received trastuzumab as treatment for your breast cancer to be considered for this study.
Other drugs are being studied in women with HER2-positive breast cancer. Lapatinib (Tykerb™) blocks signals that stimulate HER2-positive breast cancers to grow. The FDA approved lapatinib for use with capecitabine (Xeloda™) in patients who have metastatic breast cancer that has grown or spread after treatment with trastuzumab.
Capecitabine was approved by the FDA in 1998 for treating metastatic breast cancer. Capecitabine is a pill that blocks the way cancer cells multiply and grow. Usually, this medicine is taken twice a day for fourteen days. Then, patients do not take the pill for seven days. With this schedule and dose, some patients have had side effects that interfered with their comfort. We have used mathematical models to recommend a new schedule of capecitabine. In animals, 7 days of treatment with capecitabine followed by a 7-day break was safer and more active against breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out what effect (both good and bad) capecitabine has on you and your breast cancer when given in this new schedule and combined with lapatinib.

Study Objectives
Metastatic diseases were found in 20-25% of patients with initial diagnosis of colorectal cancer and developed in up to 50% of patients. Owing to limited post-treatment response of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with leucovorin (LV) obtained in mCRC (metastatic colorectal cancer) patients, other therapeutic agents with different mechanisms were considered, such as irinotecan, a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase I, which is involved in the unwinding of DNA during replication. Bevacizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits tumor angiogenesis by blocking vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and was the first antiangiogenic agent approved for the treatment of cancer.
Infusional fluorouracil/leucovorin plus irinotecan-based regimen (FOLFIRI) with bevacizumab has been widely used as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Recently, the investigators have shown that prospective analysis of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotyping for irinotecan dose escalation (FOLFIRI regimen) with combination of bevacizumab biweekly as the first-line setting in mCRC patients (ASCO Abstract #491 - 2013 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium).
In this study, the investigators will enroll approximately 320 mCRC patients (It was considered that an increase of response rate of 15% compared to conventional irinotecan dose of 180 mg/m2, and these were chosen as parameters with which to calculate the study power. Initial power calculation was suggested that a minimum of 140 patients in each group would be required to achieve statistical significance with a power of 80% at the 5% significance level. It is estimated that about 10% of 320 mCRC patients fail to complete the study). For these enrolled patients, the investigators will randomize and divide these patients into two groups: control group and study group. Control group includes mCRC patients who will receive the conventional regimen of FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. Otherwise, patients in the study group will have genotyping of UGT1A1 before therapy, and dose escalating of irinotecan will depend on results of genotyping.
