Paclitaxel Treatment Options in New York

This phase 3 trial compares the addition of nivolumab to chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) versus usual treatment (chemotherapy alone) for the treatment of anal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, 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 carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 nivolumab together with carboplatin and paclitaxel may help doctors find out if the treatment is better or the same as the usual approach. Read Less

This is an open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to determine the safety, tolerability, PK, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of INCB123667 when administered as monotherapy and in combination with anticancer therapies in participants with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors. This study will consist of 2 parts. In Part 1, INCB123667 will be administered as monotherapy and in Part 2, INCB123667 will be administered in combination with anticancer therapies of interest. Each part will comprise a dose escalation portion (Parts 1a and 2a, respectively) and a dose-expansion portion (Parts 1b and 2b, respectively). Read Less

This randomized phase II trial studies how well carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab work in treating patients with thymic cancer that has spread to other places in the body, has come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 ramucirumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known if giving carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab will work better in treating patients with thymic cancer. Read Less

Pilot trial of the IL-4 receptor antagonist dupilumab plus pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in locally advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Primary Objective: To assess the safety of neoadjuvant dupilumab and pembrolizumab plus weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin as measured by the proportion of severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with locally advanced TNBC. Secondary Objectives: To determine the rates of pathologic complete response with the addition of dupilumab to NAC and pembrolizumab; to determine the rate of residual cancer burden 0-1; to estimate the recurrence-free survival and overall survival; to assess the toxicity of the combination of dupilumab, pembrolizumab, and paclitaxel-carboplatin.

This phase II trial studies how well pevonedistat alone or in combination with chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works in treating patients with bile duct cancer of the liver. Pevonedistat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, 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. This study may help the study doctors find out how well pevonedistat shrinks bile duct cancer of the liver when given alone and when in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin. Read Less

This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel and trastuzumab with or without lapatinib to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II or stage III breast cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving paclitaxel with trastuzumab and/or lapatinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known which regimen is more effective in treating patients with breast cancer. Read Less

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion, with a gated randomization portion, study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and clinical activity of AB680 in combination with Zimberelimab (AB122), nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine in participants with advanced pancreatic cancer.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery and liver or kidney dysfunction. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. 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. Giving veliparib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. Read Less

This randomized phase III trial studies first-line chemotherapy and trastuzumab to compare how well they work when given with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with breast cancer that overexpresses human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2/NEU) and has spread to other areas of the body. 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 and bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of breast cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether giving first-line chemotherapy together with trastuzumab is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses HER-2/NEU.

This study will evaluate the surgical safety and feasibility of atezolizumab plus tiragolumab alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for participants with previously untreated locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will also evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and safety of atezolizumab plus tiragolumab alone or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment, followed by adjuvant atezolizumab plus tiragolumab or adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy.

DF1001-001 is a study of a new molecule that targets natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell activation signals to specific receptors on cancer cells. The study will occur in two phases. The first phase will be a dose escalation phase, enrolling patients with various types of solid tumors that express human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). The second phase will include a dose expansion using the best dose selected from the first phase of the study. Multiple cohorts will be opened with eligible patients having either HER2 activated non-small cell lung cancer, hormone receptor (HR) positive HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer, or HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. DF1001-001 will be administered as monotherapy or in combination; combinations are DF1001 + nivolumab, DF1001 + Nab paclitaxel, and DF1001 + sacituzumab govitecan-hziy. Read Less
