Study Of Intraductal Carboplatin In Women With Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS)
Unknown
The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety of 100 mg carboplatin administered intraductally once on Day 1 or twice on Days 1 and 15 in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) undergoing surgical management 2 to 4 weeks following the Day 15 intraductal infusion. Secondary objectives are to characterize the biologic and clinical effects with respect to: pharmacokinetics, extent of disease on MRI and mammogram, histopathological assessment of DCIS, and biomarker measurement of...

Pilot Study for the Determination of Tumor Response to Chemotherapy in Advanced NSCLC Through Gene Expression Profiling
Terminated
Patients who are at least 18 years of age and have a type of cancer known as advanced non-small cell lung cancer may be eligible for this study if they meet all of the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Background: The standard treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell cancer is chemotherapy. The two drug combination, carboplatin (Paraplatin) and paclitaxel (Taxol), is commonly used as the first treatment. Unfortunately, standard treatment with chemotherapy only shrinks the cancer in about... Read More

Paclitaxel With or Without Carboplatin in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer
Unknown
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if paclitaxel is more effective with or without carboplatin in treating stage IV breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of paclitaxel with or without carboplatin in treating women who have stage IV breast cancer.

Therapy for Children With Neuroblastoma
Completed
This is a phase II window study of the combination of ZD1839 (gefitinib) and irinotecan in children with high-risk neuroblastoma followed by standard induction chemotherapy, intensification with autologous stem cell transplantation, and an oral maintenance phase with 13-cis-retinoic acid and topotecan. We hypothesize that the ZD1839 (gefitinib) and irinotecan window will be efficacious.

A Pediatric Phase I Trial of RMP-7 and Carboplatin in Brain Tumors
Completed
The presence of a highly selective blood-brain barrier (BBB) at the level of the brain capillary endothelium prevents chemotherapeutic agents from attaining therapeutic concentrations at the target site. RMP-7 is a synthetic bradykinin analog which specifically binds to B2 receptors expressed on the brain capillary endothelial cells and preferentially increases capillary permeability within CNS tumors. Carboplatin is an anticancer agent with preclinical and clinical antitumor activity against a... Read More

SU5416 and Carboplatin to Treat Ovarian Cancer
Completed
SU5416, a novel antiangiogenesis agent, has been shown to be a potent and selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of FlK-1 (a downstream effector of VEGF) in vitro and to inhibit the growth of endothelial cells. Since VEGF mRNA levels and vessel counts in tumor tissues have been shown to be inversely related to prognosis in ovarian cancer, SU5416 may prove to be a useful agent in this disease. Platinum agents currently provide the most effective treatment for ovarian cancer. However,... Read More

Combination of Carboplatin, Gemcitabine, and Capecitabine in Patients With Carcinoma of Unknown Primary Site
Terminated
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 metast... Read More
