To determine the best dose of this investigational agent AG-013736 in combination with various standard of care treatments for advanced solid tumors. 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.

This is a multi-center clinical study in subjects requiring arteriovenous grafts in the upper extremity for hemodialysis access. All subjects will provide informed consent before undergoing any study procedures. The study will consist of multiple subject visits and telephone contacts during the 52 week study period. During the study period subjects must also maintain an appropriate hemodialysis schedule. IDE Number: G060250 Read Less

To determine the Maximally Tolerable Dose (MTD) of KOS-1022 when administered weekly in combination with trastuzumab or in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies 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

Improvements in therapy for relapsed SCLC are much needed. Paclitaxel has been previously tested and found to have significant single agent activity in relapsed SCLC, including in refractory patients. Angiogenesis plays an important role in SCLC, increased VEGF levels are associated with worse outcomes. Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody to VEGF, increase response rates and survival when combined with chemotherapy agents compared with the chemotherapy agent alone in NSCLC, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. Paclitaxel plus bevacizumab, in the dose and schedule proposed in this study, improves response rates and progression free survival compared with paclitaxel alone in women with metastatic breast cancer. Therefore, we will be testing the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of this regimen in patients with chemosensitive relapsed SCLC. 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

RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as fludeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography (\^18FDG-PET), may improve the ability to detect disease progression and help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well \^18FDG-PET imaging works in detecting disease progression and determining response to treatment in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out if SU011248 (sunitinib) provides additional benefit when it is given after treatment with two chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel and also if sunitinib is safe for patients with locally advanced and metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

The study will enroll approximately 33 EGFr positive chemotherapy-naive stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients. Patients will receive cetuximab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for two cycles or until disease progression or until the patient exhibits intolerable toxicities. Patients will be evaluated for efficacy and safety throughout the duration of the study. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of cetuximab, carboplatin and paclitaxel will shrink a specific type of lung cancer known as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The safety of this combination will also be evaluated. Read Less
