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.

Patients with advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) who are not eligible for curative surgery, transplantation, or ablative therapies will receive nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine. The effectiveness will be determined by improvement in the length of time during and after treatment, that the CCA does not get worse. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cisplatin and paclitaxel together with everolimus may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving cisplatin and paclitaxel together with everolimus and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Trial Objectives: The objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib with induction chemotherapy in primary unresected patients with locally advanced, HPV-negative, stage III or IVa/b HNSCC including oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx. Primary Objective Phase I The primary objective of the phase I portion of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the recommended phase II dose of daily oral afatinib that is safe in combination with carboplatin AUC 6 and paclitaxel 175mg/m2 q 21 days as an induction regimen. Primary Objective Phase 2 The primary objective of the phase 2 portion of the trial is to estimate the objective tumor response rate and toxicity with induction therapy in patients treated on the afatinib dose determined in Phase I. Secondary Objectives The secondary objective of phase II is to estimate: 1) the overall response to entire treatment after completion of CRT, 2) progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 2 years, and 3) overall survival (OS) at 2 years.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effect of multiple-dose administration of fluconazole on the single-dose intravenous (IV) pharmacokinetics (PK) of MLN4924; and to assess the effect of multiple-dose administration of itraconazole on the single-dose IV PK of MLN4924. Read Less

The primary purpose of this study was to see how tasisulam-sodium affected metastatic melanoma when compared against paclitaxel as measured by overall survival. Read Less

This is a study of ruxolitinib in combination with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel administered to patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ruxolitinib when given as described to patients with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. A goal of Part 1 will be to identify the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of ruxolitinib when given with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel. This dose will be selected for use in Part 2 of the study. Part 2 of the study will further evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary clinical activity of ruxolitinib at the dose defined in Part 1 used in combination with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel in subjects with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. After multiple challenges of trial conduct, by mutual agreement between investigators and sponsor, dose escalation ended after Cohort B1, RUX 10 mg twice daily (BID) - GCSF in October 2014. Therefore, the MTD was not reached. No safety issues led to the decision to stop further enrollment. Because of the early study termination, samples for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and computed tomography for tumor burden were collected, but not analyzed; analysis data are not available. The data cutoff for this posting is 22 SEP 2015. As of the data cutoff, 1 subject was receiving treatment in the study and had been enrolled for 47 weeks. This subject had their end of treatment visit in AUG 2016. A comparison of this subjects' safety data after the cutoff date showed no clinically meaningful differences (eg, adverse events) compared with safety results that are summarized here. Read Less

This is an open-label study of INCB047986 given to two distinct groups of patients (Group 1 and Group 2) with advanced malignancies. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of INCB047986 and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of INCB047986 in combination with gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel in a select group of patients with solid tumors. Each patient group will participate in a phase of the study which is divided into two parts. The patient groups will be enrolled in a sequential manner starting with Patient Group 1. Patient Group 1 Group 1 will be comprised of patients with advanced malignancies who will receive INCB047986 as monotherapy. Part 1: Dose Escalation Phase - This phase will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of INCB047986 when given as described to patients with advanced malignancies. A goal of Part 1 will be to identify the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of INCB047986 and/or other dose(s) that are tolerated doses and produce a substantial pharmacologic effect. These doses will be used in Part 2 of the study. Part 2: Expansion Phase - This phase will further explore the safety, tolerability, PK, and preliminary clinical activity of INCB047986 using the doses identified in Part 1. Group 2 Group 2 will be in subjects with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer, breast cancer or urothelial cancer. Part 1: Dose Optimization Phase - This phase will identify the MTD of INCB047986 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Specifically, these will be patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (first or second line), triple-negative breast cancer (second line) or urothelial cancer (second line). Part 2: Expansion Phase - This phase will explore the safety, tolerability, PK, biomarkers, and preliminary clinical activity of the dose regimen(s) identified in Part 1. Patients enrolled in this phase will be limited to those with advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Read Less

This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral GDC-0032 administered in combination with either docetaxel or with paclitaxel. Patients treated with the GDC-0032 and docetaxel have HER2-negative locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients treated with the GDC-0032 and paclitaxel combination have human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. There are two potential stages within each arm of this study: a dose-escalation stage (Stage 1) and a dose-expansion stage (Stage 2). Once the maximum tolerated dose of GDC-0032 in a given arm has been established from dose escalation, additional patients with each combination will be enrolled in Stage 2. Read Less

Pazopanib will be given with TAXOL in one part, in another part pazopanib will be given with TAXOL and PARAPLATIN, and in a third part pazopanib will be given with TAXOL and lapatinib (patients separated in each part). Toxicity monitoring will enable us to find the largest dose of pazopanib daily that can be safely given in combination with the chemotherapy agents TAXOL and PARAPLATIN, and with lapatinib, as well as what side effects are likely to manifest when these agents are given together and whether the combination of pazopanib with chemotherapy, helps to treat different types of cancer. Another objective is to find out how much pazopanib, TAXOL, PARAPLATIN and lapatinib are in the blood at specific times after the agents are given. Collecting the blood samples requires that the patients remain in the vicinity of the clinic overnight on 2 occasions. Read Less
