Paclitaxel Treatment Options in Texas

The purpose of the COPPER - B study is to assess the feasibility, safety, and initial efficacy of paclitaxel administration using the OPC for the prevention of restenosis in infrapopliteal de novo and restenotic lesions and occlusions using a novel catheter, the OPC. Read Less

This is a dose-finding study; therefore, there is no hypothesis testing Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine whether AMG 386 or AMG 386 Placebo in combination with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin are effective in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Read Less

The study is being conducted to find out if paclitaxel works better when given together with an experimental drug called MORAb-003 (farletuzumab) or alone in patients with platinum-resistant or refractory relapsed ovarian cancer Read Less

This study evaluated whether the addition of daily BKM120 to weekly paclitaxel was effective and safe in treating patients with HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Read Less

This trial provides a unique opportunity in that it combines genomic, proteomic and pharmacogenomic assessments in patients receiving chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. To date no other trials have analyzed gene and protein expression at the same time points in the same patient, combined with clinical outcome. Similar to previous attempts to predict response based on expression of a single gene or protein, we expect that neither genomic or proteomic profiling alone will be sufficient to optimize therapy. Rather, we expect an iterative process that combines information gleaned from both platforms, modified to avoid toxicity based on pharmacogenomics. Read Less

This is a randomized, Phase II, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial designed to preliminarily estimate the efficacy and evaluate the safety and tolerability of onartuzumab (MetMAb) + bevacizumab + paclitaxel and onartuzumab + placebo + paclitaxel versus placebo + bevacizumab + paclitaxel in participants with metastatic or locally recurrent, triple-negative breast cancer who either have not received treatment (first-line) or have progressed after one conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen (second-line).

This is a Phase IIb/III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of first-line therapy combined with TG4010 or placebo in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TG4010 is a suspension of recombinant Modified Vaccinia virus strain Ankara (MVA strain) carrying coding sequences for human MUC1 antigen and human interleukin-2 (IL2). TG4010 has been developed for use as an immunotherapy in cancer patients whose tumors express the MUC1 antigen. TG4010 is intended to induce a MUC1-specific cellular immune response and to produce a non-specific activation of several components of the immune system. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel, fluorouracil, and cisplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy, with or without surgery, works in treating patients with resectable locally advanced cancer of the esophagus or gastroesophageal junction.

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with paclitaxel plus AMG 386 is superior to paclitaxel plus placebo in women with recurrent partially platinum sensitive or resistant epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. AMG 386 is a man-made medication that is designed to stop the development of blood vessels in cancer tissues. Cancer tissues rely on the development of new blood vessels, a process called angiogenesis, to obtain a supply of oxygen and nutrients to grow. Read Less

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of R1507 in combination with 12 distinct standard chemotherapy drug regimens and an additional R1507 monotherapy arm in patients with advanced malignant neoplasms.The 12 regimens will be tested in parallel. There are 3 subsets of patients who are eligible for the study: untreated, treated and requiring further treatment, or treated and failed and for whom adding R1507 represents a suitable treatment for their disease. All regimens will first test doses of R1507 which are less than the maximally administered dose, and if tolerated, the dose will be escalated in subsequent patients. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals. Read Less

This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEGF0444A combined with paclitaxel + carboplatin + bevacizumab therapy in patients with histologically or cytologically documented inoperable, locally advanced, metastatic (Stage IV), or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC.
