Paclitaxel Treatment Options in Atlanta, GA

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy with paclitaxel in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Read Less

This is a phase II one arm study. Patients with HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2)positive early stage breast cancer will receive ABI-007 and vinorelbine in combination with trastuzumab before having breast surgery. Read Less

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. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic, recurrent, or refractory endometrial cancer. Read Less

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 is more effective when combined with paclitaxel or gemcitabine in treating cervical cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of cisplatin combined with paclitaxel to that of cisplatin combined with gemcitabine in treating women who have recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of the combination of bevacizumab and Abraxane in the treatment of women with epithelial ovarian cancer or peritoneal cancer. The study will also evaluate how the patient's quality of life is during their treatment. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ZoMaxx drug-eluting stent in patients with blockage of native coronary arteries. The study is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority to the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent that has proven superior to bare metal stents and is a recognized standard of care. Read Less

This study is divided into 5 arms: 1. Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT): Prospective, randomized, active-controlled, single blind, parallel two-arm multi-center clinical trial in the United States (US) comparing XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (CSS) (2.5, 3.0, 3.5 mm diameter stents) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved commercially available active control TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent (TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ PECS) System 2. US 2.25 mm non-randomized arm using 2.25 mm diameter XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS 3. US 4.0 mm non-randomized arm using 4.0 mm diameter XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS 4. US 38 mm non-randomized arm using 38 mm in length XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS 5. Japanese non-randomized arm using XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting CSS (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 mm diameter stents) in Japan The TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System is Manufactured by Boston Scientific.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of Abraxane and Carboplatin together will improve the chances of controlling recurrent ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ABI-007(Nab-Paclitaxel((Nanoparticle Albumin Bound)-Paclitaxel)) and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving ABI-007 together with gemcitabine works in treating women with metastatic breast cancer. Read Less

This is a phase III randomized study comparing induction treatments of Gemcitabine and Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin, with or without consolidation therapy for patients that do not have any evidence of disease after completion of six cycles of induction therapy. Patients with disease after induction therapy will crossover to receive single agent therapy. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System in long lesion lengths, small and large vessel diameters and with multiple overlapping stents in the treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions Read Less
