Irinotecan, Cisplatin, Bevacizumab, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of esophageal cancer by blocking bl... Read More

Completed
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center study comparing the efficacy and safety of XRP9881 plus cisplatin to gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the first line treatment of locally advanced/metastatic urothelial tract or bladder cancer. The primary objective is to compare overall survival. Secondary objectives include comparisons of progression free survival, objective response rate, time to definitive deterioration of performance status, duration of response, time to definitive weight loss, an...

Gemcitabine and Split-Dose Cisplatin Plus Everolimus (RAD001) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor Malignancies
Completed
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of gemcitabine and cisplatin plus Everolimus (also called RAD001) at different dose levels. We want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, this treatment has on you and your cancer. Gemcitabine and cisplatin are standard chemotherapy drugs that are commonly used to treat advanced urothelial cancer. Everolimus is a pill that works by shutting down some of the pathways in cancer cells that make tumors grow. Laboratory studies have shown that Eve... Read More

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Methotrexate, Vinblastine, Adriamycin and Cisplatin (M-VAC) Plus Avastin in Patients With Urothelial Cancer
Completed
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how well bladder cancer responds to a combination treatment with Avastin and M-VAC (methotrexate, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and cisplatin) before surgery to remove the tumor. Primary Objective: To estimate the response of patients with locally advanced urothelial cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a combination of Dose Dense Methotrexate, Vinblastine, Adriamycin, and Cisplatin (DD-M-VAC) plus Avastin followed by radical surger...

Cisplatin/Etoposide/Radiotherapy +/- Consolidation Docetaxel in Advanced Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Completed
In a previous phase II study, patients with pathological stage IIIb (without pleural effusion) NSCLC were treated with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide plus thoracic radiotherapy followed by 3 cycles of consolidation therapy with docetaxel. Docetaxel was selected based upon a survival benefit in patients with recurrent NSCLC. This trial will evaluate the role of consolidation therapy with docetaxel in patients with unresectable stage III disease. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate surviv... Read More

Cisplatin, Gemcitabine and Bevacizumab in Combination for Metastatic Transitional Cell Cancer
Completed
Cisplatin is a very important agent for the treatment of TCC as it has a single agent response rate of approximately 15%. However, it has been most important as a part of combination chemotherapy, MVAC initially and now in combination with gemcitabine. Single agent gemcitabine has demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of approximately 25%, including some complete responses (CR), with minimal toxicity in patients with advanced bladder cancer. Bevacizumab, a murine anti-human VEGF monoclonal... Read More

Study of Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Fluorouracil (Modified DCF) With Bevacizumab in Patients With Unresectable or Metastatic Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma
Completed
This study is being done to find out what effects a drug named/called bevacizumab has on patients and patients' tumors when given together with standard chemotherapy drugs. Making new blood vessels seems to be important for many tumors to grow. Bevacizumab is a new type of treatment for cancer that blocks the growth of new tumor blood vessels. In this study, the researchers will combine bevacizumab with chemotherapy drugs that are standard for the patient's disease and include cisplatin, docetax... Read More

Proton Radiation Therapy With Cisplatin and Etoposide Followed by Surgery in Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Terminated
This research study is looking at an alternative way of delivering radiation therapy with protons. Protons are tiny particles with a positive charge that can be controlled to travel a certain distance and stop inside the body. In theory, this allows better control of where the radiation dose is delivered as compared to photons. Information from other research studies suggests that proton radiation may help to reduce unwanted side effects from radiation and allow an increase in radiation dose tha... Read More
