Paclitaxel Treatment Options in Nashville, TN

This clinical study is in subjects who are 18 years old or older with locally advanced pancreatic cancer who have not received prior treatment for their pancreatic cancer. The study treats all subjects with nab-Paclitaxel plus gemcitabine for approximately 6 months of treatment. Subjects who complete the treatment will choose, with their treating physicians, what additional treatment should be given: more nab-Paclitaxel plus gemcitabine, Chemoradiation therapy, or surgery to treat the locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

This randomized phase III trial studies pelvic radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with vaginal implant radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients with high-risk stage I or stage II endometrial cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Implant radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor 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. It is not yet known whether pelvic radiation therapy alone is more effective than vaginal implant radiation therapy, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients with endometrial cancer.

This was an open-label, single-arm, multi-center, Phase II study to determine the activity of nab-paclitaxel plus lapatinib in the first and second-line setting in women with ErbB2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Sixty subjects were to be enrolled in the study. Subjects were to receive nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 intravenously once weekly for 3 weeks, followed by a rest week in a 4-week cycle) plus lapatinib (1000 mg once daily). Subjects were to receive treatment until disease progression or withdrawal from the study. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate overall tumor response rate of lapatinib in combination with nab-paclitaxel administered in women with ErbB2 overexpressing MBC who received no chemotherapeutic regimen in the metastatic setting. Secondary objectives included progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, time to response and time to progression and safety. Safety and efficacy assessments were to be performed at 8 and 12 week intervals, and at the end of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in combination with either gemcitabine or carboplatin to the combination of gemcitabine and carboplatin as first line treatment in female subjects with triple negative metastatic breast cancer (TNMBC) or metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab administered in combination with paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated, locally recurrent, or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: bevacizumab or placebo. All patients will be given an intravenous (IV) infusion of of paclitaxel (90 mg/m2) for 3 weeks during each 28-day cycle. bevacizumab or placebo (10 mg/kg) will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Patients will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death from any cause occurs. Read Less

This randomized phase III trial is studying giving fluorouracil together with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel and trastuzumab to see how well it works compared with giving paclitaxel together with trastuzumab followed by fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and trastuzumab in treating women with palpable breast cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. 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. It is not yet known whether it is more effective to give combination chemotherapy before or after treatment with paclitaxel plus trastuzumab. Read Less

The purpose of this Phase III study was to confirm the value of adding everolimus to weekly paclitaxel and trastuzumab as treatment of HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. Read Less

This is a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 2 study designed to is to determine if the combination treatment can improve progression free survival (defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first) when compared with placebo + paclitaxel.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of MM-141 plus nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine is more effective than nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine alone based on Progression Free Survival (PFS) in front-line metastatic pancreatic cancer patients with high serum levels of free IGF-1.
