Cisplatin Treatment Options in New York

This randomized phase III trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors or high-risk medulloblastoma when given before additional intense chemotherapy followed by peripheral blood stem cell rescue. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective when given before a peripheral stem cell transplant in treating supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors or medulloblastoma.

Objectives: - To determine intraperitoneal (IP) progression free survival after optimal debulking and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin in patients with IP spread of adrenocortical cancer. - Determine morbidity of this procedure in this patient population. - Determine the impact of surgery and HIPEC on quality of life (QOL) and hormone excess. - Examine patterns of recurrence (local versus systemic). - Determine overall survival after optimal debulking and HIPEC in patients with IP spread of adrenocortical cancer.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, mitomycin C, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy given together with chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage I bladder cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of Xevinapant when added to weekly cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in the treatment of participants with unresectable locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, suitable for definitive chemoradiotherapy.

This is an open-label, international, two-arm, parallel, randomized, Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of S-1/cisplatin versus 5-FU/cisplatin in patients with advanced gastric cancer previously untreated with chemotherapy for advanced disease. Patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to S-1/cisplatin (experimental arm) or 5-FU/cisplatin (control arm). Patients will be stratified by number of metastatic sites (one vs. more than one), locally advanced or metastatic disease, prior adjuvant therapy (yes or no), measurable or non-measurable disease, and center.

This study is planned to be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1: Dose Escalation and Part 2: Safety Run-In and Randomized Expansion. The primary objectives of Part 1 are 1) To characterize the safety and tolerability of GS-3583 as monotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumors. 2) To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GS-3583 as monotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objectives of Part 2 is to assess the safety and tolerability and to determine the RP2D of GS-3583 in combination with zimberelimab (ZIM) and platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy in participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) (Cohort A) or in combination with docetaxel in participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Cohort B).

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab given concomitantly with chemoradiation (CRT) and as maintenance therapy versus placebo plus CRT in participants with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA HNSCC). The primary hypothesis is that pembrolizumab in combination with CRT is superior to placebo in combination with CRT with respect to event-free survival (EFS). Read Less

The primary focus of this study is to see if looking at tumor biomarkers using a program called coexpression extrapolation or "COXEN" may predict a patient's response to chemotherapy before surgery. Read Less

This is a phase 3, open-label, 4-cohort study (3 randomized cohorts and 1 single-arm cohort). Participants enrolled in each cohort will be treated as detailed below. Each study cohort will be analyzed separately. Treatment will continue for up to 2 years, or until the patient experiences confirmed progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, withdraws consent, or if the investigator feels that it is no longer in the patient's best interest to continue treatment. Patients will be followed for disease progression, post-therapies, and survival through 24 months after the first dose of study drug. Read Less

In the past, patients with advanced lung cancer who were inoperable underwent chemotherapy with one or more chemotherapeutic agents. More recently, novel new agents targeting specific enzymes or pathways responsible for cell division have been developed and clinicians have begun to utilize various combinations of these drugs with standard chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of NSCLC. Some of these approaches have demonstrated a small but significant increase in survival among patients with advanced disease. Because a recently completed Phase 3 study of bevacizumab + Taxol/Carboplatin in first line NSCLC therapy demonstrated a 23% improvement in median survival, it would be appealing to see if a regimen of bevacizumab/ cisplatin/Alimta would also demonstrate a similar, or perhaps better, response rate.

M3814 was an investigational drug that is being evaluated for the treatment of participants with locally advanced tumors. The main purposes of this study was to determine the safety, the tolerability and the efficacy of M3814 in combination with radiotherapy and in combination with chemoradiotherapy (Radiotherapy + cisplatin).
