Paclitaxel Treatment Options in Texas

Open--label, phase 2a, multi-centre, single-arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD2014 and weekly paclitaxel in patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Read Less

This randomized phase II trial studies how well carboplatin, paclitaxel, and bevacizumab (CPB) work when given with or without cixutumumab in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IV or has come back (recurrent). 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 bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Other types of monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, may find tumor cells and help kill them. It is not yet known whether giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with bevacizumab is more effective when given with or without cixutumumab in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

This is an open-label, multicenter study with a nonrandomized Phase 1 portion and an open-label, randomized, Phase 2 portion evaluating MLN8237 in combination with weekly paclitaxel in adult female participants with advanced breast cancer (Phase 1 portion only) and recurrent ovarian cancer (both Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions).

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients with recurrent or persistent cancer of the uterus. Read Less

This pilot phase I trial studies how well dasatinib works together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with stage III, stage IV, or endometrial cancer that has come back after a period of improvement. Dasatinib 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 dasatinib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. Read Less

This is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center, Phase 2 study with Paclitaxel in combination with Bevacizumab in patients with Unresectable or Metastatic Angiosarcoma. The study aims to determine the safety and effectiveness of combining two drugs Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab in the treatment of Angiosarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery, or has spread to other parts of your body. The primary objective is to evaluate 4month non progression rate. The secondary objective is to evaluate overall response rate after 3rd and 6th cycle, median duration of response, 6th and 12th month survival, toxicity of Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab combination, toxicity of maintenance Bevacizumab and to collect paraffin-embedded tumor blocks for angiogenesis markers and tissue microarray.

This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin, paclitaxel, cetuximab, and erlotinib hydrochloride together works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell head and neck cancer. 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 or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy together with cetuximab and erlotinib hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells. Read Less

This phase II trial studies the side effects of giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy together with cisplatin and bevacizumab followed by carboplatin and cisplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients who have undergone surgery for high-risk endometrial cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and paclitaxel, 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 bevacizumab, can block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy together with chemotherapy and bevacizumab after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. Read Less

The primary objective of this trial is to compare the survival of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with weekly Taxoprexin in combination with carboplatin to those treated with paclitaxel plus carboplatin in a prospectively randomized trial. In addition, the response rate to each regimen, response duration, time to progression and time to treatment failure will be measured. Toxicity will be evaluated and compared between the two groups.

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 phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

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
