Paclitaxel Treatment Options in Nashville, TN

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) administered with nab-paclitaxel compared with placebo in combination with nab-paclitaxel in participants with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The safety of single-agent nab-paclitaxel has been determined in previous studies of participants with mBC and the safety data to date suggest that atezolizumab can be safely combined with standard chemotherapy agents.

This two-arm, randomized, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine in combination with pertuzumab versus trastuzumab in combination with pertuzumab and a taxane as adjuvant therapy in participants with human epidermal growth (HER) factor 2 (HER2)-positive primary invasive breast cancer. Following surgery and anthracycline-based chemotherapy, participants will receive either trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 3.6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and pertuzumab at a dose of 420 milligrams (mg) intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks (q3w) or trastuzumab at a dose of 6 mg/kg and pertuzumab at a dose of 420 mg IV q3w in combination with a taxane.

The purpose of study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nivolumab in unresectable advanced or recurrent esophageal cancer patients who have failed in standard chemotherapies. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane®) and ramucirumab (Cyramza®) are effective when used in combination for treating patients with metastatic gastroesophageal cancer who have either progressed or not responded to prior therapy. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine with or without olaratumab in the treatment of first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer. Read Less

OncoGel™ is a new, experimental drug delivery system that allows the slow continuous release of paclitaxel (an approved intravenous anticancer drug), from a gel (ReGel™) over a long period of time. The gel will disappear in 4 to 6 weeks as it releases the paclitaxel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of OncoGel when placed into the tumor resection cavity in the brain following surgical removal of the tumor. Dose escalation is conducted by gradually increasing the amount of OncoGel placed in the resection cavity in small groups of patients, and watching the patients closely for side effects before moving to the next dose level. The study will also test whether OncoGel helps to prevent or delay the tumor from regrowing. Read Less

Investigate the use of BYL719 (alpelisib) as combination therapy with Nab-Paclitaxel in locally recurrent or metastatic HER-2 negative breast cancer. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to estimate the response rate and compare overall survival of patients taking BMS-936558 to those taking study physician's choice of either Dacarbazine or Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Read Less

The purpose of this study is to see if adding two targeted drugs (bevacizumab and erlotinib) further improves the response to chemotherapy (5-FU, paclitaxel, carboplatin) and radiation therapy in patients with operable esophageal cancer. Side effects (toxicity) information will also be collected. Read Less

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase Ib, dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral ipatasertib (GDC-0068) administered in combination with either docetaxel (Arm A), or oxaliplatin, leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy) (Arm B), or paclitaxel (Arm C), in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors for which standard therapy either does not exist or has proven ineffective or intolerable. Arm D will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ipatasertib administered in combination with enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). There will be two stages within each arm of this study: a dose-escalation stage (Stage 1) and a cohort-expansion stage (Stage 2). In Stage 1, approximately 3 to 6 cohorts in Arms A and B and 1 to 2 cohorts in Arms C and D will be evaluated to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ipatasertib in a given combination. Additional participants will be enrolled in Stage 2 (cohort expansion), to further characterize the safety and tolerability of ipatasertib in these combinations and to confirm a potential recommended Phase II dose of ipatasertib for each regimen. NOTE: Arms A, B, and C are closed. Read Less

The rationale for this multicenter, phase II trial is to examine the impact of carboplatin/paclitaxel with bevacizumab in the preoperative treatment of patients with stage IB (\> 4.0 cm), II, and select stage III NSCLC. If this novel regimen proves to be safe and active in this setting, this would provide rationale for further investigation in a larger, prospective, randomized setting. Read Less

This is a non-randomized, Phase II study. Efficacy is not a primary endpoint in this study; however, progression-free survival will be followed and determined for the patients in this study. Approximately 50 patients are planned to be enrolled in this study. Read Less
