A Study of Onartuzumab (MetMAb) Versus Placebo in Combination With Paclitaxel Plus Platinum in Patients With Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with paclitaxel plus platinum in patients with incurable Stage IIIB or Stage IV squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients will be randomized to receive either onartuzumab (MetMAb) 15 mg/kg iv or placebo on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle in combination with 4 cycles of paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 iv and platinum (carboplatin/cisplatin) iv on Day 1 of e...

Preoperative Trial of Sorafenib in Combination With Cisplatin Followed by Paclitaxel for Early Stage Breast Cancer
Terminated
The purpose of this study is to identify new treatment regimens with better response rates and to find out if the combination of cisplatin and sorafenib followed by paclitaxel and sorafenib can shrink the size of your breast tumor and allow you to preserve your breast. Sorafenib is a newer drug that targets blood vessel formation and may help the chemotherapy work better. Additionally, by receiving chemotherapy before surgery, we will be able to determine if your cancer is responsive to chemothe... Read More

Sym004 in Subjects With Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Terminated
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1b, dose escalation trial of Sym004 administered in combination with 1 of 3 platinum-doublets in subjects with Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The sponsor decided to discontinue the development of Sym004. Also the decision was made to discontinue the development of Sym004 in NSCLC indication. The decision to discontinue Sym004 in NSCLC was not related to any safety or efficacy findings regarding Sym004. As a result of the early discontinuat... Read More

Gemcitabine/Cisplatin for Resected Pancreas Cancer: Establishing the Role of ERCC1 in Treatment Decision
Terminated
The purpose of this study is to investigate if the investigators can use a specific marker in the pancreatic tumor itself to determine which patients will benefit from receiving combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine and cisplatin after undergoing resection of a pancreatic cancer. The investigators will also investigate if there is any benefit to receiving both chemotherapy drugs as opposed to only gemcitabine after undergoing complete resection of the tumor.

Bevacizumab, Cetuximab, and Cisplatin With IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy) for Patients With Stage III/IV Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Completed
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of treatment with bevacizumab + cisplatin + cetuximab + IMRT. The doctor wishes to monitor patients for 2 years after the completion of study treatment to determine if they are cancer-free during that time. They also want to evaluate the side effects that patients experience with this treatment regimen.

Optimized Intensity Modulated Irradiation for Head and Neck Cancer
Completed
The purpose of this study is to test whether the use of advanced radiation therapy delivery techniques can spare a patient's normal tissue, including salivary glands, from radiation. This study is being done to try to reduce radiation side effects, especially mouth dryness, which happens with standard radiation methods. In order to reduce these side effects, other normal tissues may receive a different radiation dose (sometimes more) than what would have been received using standard radiation th... Read More

Neoadjuvant Gemcitabine and Fractionated, Weekly Cisplatin For Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer and Patients Not Candidates For High Dose Cisplatin
Terminated
The standard treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer is to administer chemotherapy for approximately 3 months then to have surgery to remove the bladder. Chemotherapy may reduce the size of the cancer in your bladder before surgery and can also help to reduce the chance that your bladder cancer will come back (metastasize) in other parts of your body after bladder surgery. This study will involve testing cisplatin in lower weekly doses with gemcitabine.The purpose of this study is to test t... Read More

Cisplatin Plus Etoposide With or Without Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether cisplatin, etoposide, and paclitaxel are more effective than cisplatin and etoposide alone in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of cisplatin plus etoposide with or without paclitaxel in treating patien... Read More

A Phase II Study of Extended Field IMRT External Beam Irradiation and Intracavitary Brachytherapy
Terminated
Recent studies have shown that the chance of survival among women with advanced cervical cancer is increased when they receive concurrent chemotherapy and radiation to the pelvis. However, patients who have advanced disease show loco-regional failure as well as a high incidence of distant metastasis. Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning has high sensitivity and specificity in the detection of pelvic and para-aortic lymph node metastases. While the detection of para-aortic metastases by PE... Read More
