Paclitaxel Treatment Options in New York

This is a global Phase III, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment with atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 \[anti-PD-L1\] antibody) and nab-paclitaxel followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (nab-pac-AC), or placebo and nab-pac-AC in participants eligible for surgery with initial clinically assessed triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good or bad, the combination of standard chemotherapy agent paclitaxel with the investigational (experimental) drug afatinib that targets HER2, has on HER2-positive esophagogastric cancer that started to get bigger despite previous treatment with trastuzumab. The doctors will also study the tumor to understand why it grew while on trastuzumab treatment and to see the effects afatinib and paclitaxel has on the tumor. Read Less

This is an open label, multi-institutional, single arm Phase II trial. All patients will be treated with Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Durvalumab and Radiation. All patients with non-PD after induction therapy who remain surgical candidates will undergo surgical resection 4-12 weeks following induction therapy. After surgical resection, all patients who remain eligible will be treated with adjuvant Durvalumab every 4 weeks for 6 cycles beginning 4-12 weeks after surgical resection. Read Less

This is a multi-center, open-label Phase 0 substudy designed to study the localized pharmacodynamics (PD) of TAK-676 alone or in combination with Carboplatin, 5-FU, or Paclitaxel within the tumor microenvironment (TME) when administered intratumorally in microdose quantities via the CIVO device in patients diagnosed with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma presenting with a surface accessible solid tumor for which there is a scheduled surgical intervention. This substudy is a cohort of the PBI-MST-01 Master Protocol. Read Less

This phase II trial tests the effect of atezolizumab given with usual chemotherapy during radiation therapy in treating patients with superior sulcus non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, etoposide, paclitaxel and pemetrexed, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy beams to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving atezolizumab with usual chemotherapy and radiation therapy may lower the chance of the tumor from growing or spreading. Read Less

HER-2/neu (+) breast cancer is a more aggressive form of breast cancer. HER-2/neu is a protein that is overproduced by your tumor. It makes your cancer more aggressive. Standard treatments for this type of cancer will help some people, but there is a moderate to high chance that your cancer may come back. The purpose of this study is to see if a new regimen will be effective in preventing cancer from coming back. This is a phase II trial. In this trial, patient get a drug regimen that has been tested in small groups of people to see what dose is safe. Researchers now wish to see how effective the drug is for HER-2/neu (+) breast cancer. The objective includes looking at short-term side effects and risks of the drug. All of the drugs on this regimen can affect the heart which can be a serious side effect. The drugs affect on heart function is a primary focus. Read Less

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of oleclumab (MEDI9447) in combination with or without durvalumab plus chemotherapy in participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with carboplatin and Abraxane in this patient population and determine the nature and degree of toxicities following treatment. The single stage open label Phase II feasibility study is designed to estimate the proportion of patients who can tolerate the proposed regimen for 6 cycles with no more than two dose level reductions.

This phase I trial studies how well chemokine modulation therapy and standard chemotherapy given before surgery work in treating patients with early stage triple negative breast cancer. Chemokine modulation therapy, including celecoxib, recombinant interferon alfa-2b, and rintatolimod, may stimulate the immune system and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in standard chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemokine modulation therapy together with standard chemotherapy may work better than giving either therapy alone in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer. Read Less

Primary Objective: • Determination of pathologic complete response (pCR) rates Secondary Objective: * Determination of cardiac toxicity as measured by: composite of LVEF, longitudinal strain and troponin. * Breast conservation rates * Overall survival Study Design * Approximately 34-74 patients with Her2 positive, Stage II-regional IV breast cancer will be enrolled. * Patients will be stratified by ER/PR status. * They will be randomized to ddACTHP vs TCHP. * Initially, 17 patients will be randomly assigned to each treatment arm. * If 3 or fewer patients have a pCR, then that arm will be terminated and no further patients will be entered on that treatment arm. * If 4 or more patients obtain a pCR, 20 additional patients (total of 37 patients) will be randomized to that treatment arm. * If 11 or more patients out of 37 have a pCR, the treatment will be of interest for further study.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin with or without trastuzumab work in treating patients with esophageal cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy and combination chemotherapy together with or without trastuzumab is more effective in treating esophageal cancer. Read Less
