Paclitaxel Treatment Options in Utah

Zolbetuximab is being studied as a treatment for people with pancreatic cancer. Most people with pancreatic cancer have a protein called Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) in their tumor. Zolbetuximab is thought to work by attaching to CLDN 18.2 in their tumor. This switches on the body's immune system to attack the tumor. Zolbetuximab is a potential treatment for people with pancreatic cancer. There is an unmet medical need to treat people with pancreatic cancer. This study will help find the dose of zolbetuximab to be used with chemotherapy and provide more information on this treatment in adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The study is currently ongoing globally. People in this study will be treated with either zolbetuximab and chemotherapy or chemotherapy by itself. The study's main aims are to find a suitable dose of zolbetuximab to be used with chemotherapy in the second part of this study, to check if zolbetuximab and chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy by itself can improve the survival of people with pancreatic cancer, and to check the safety of zolbetuximab when given with chemotherapy and how well people cope with medical problems during the study. Adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer can take part. Their cancer is metastatic, has the CLDN18.2 marker in a tumor sample and has not previously been treated with chemotherapy. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. People cannot take part are if they have recently had radiotherapy and have not recovered, need to take medicines to suppress their immune system, have history of nervous system metastases from their pancreatic cancer, or they have other active cancers that need treatment. People who have a specific heart condition or infections also cannot take part. This study will be in 2 parts. Part 1 is called the Safety Lead-in Phase. Groups of people will receive 1 of 2 different doses of zolbetuximab: a lower dose or a higher dose, both together with chemotherapy. A medical expert panel will check the results and decide the dose to use in Part 2. Part 2 is called the Randomization Phase. People will be put in 1 of 2 groups by chance and will be given different treatments either zolbetuximab and chemotherapy or chemotherapy by itself. The chance of receiving zolbetuximab and chemotherapy is twice as high as receiving chemotherapy by itself. In both parts of the study, zolbetuximab and chemotherapy or chemotherapy by itself will be given through a vein. This is called an infusion. Each treatment cycle is 4 weeks (28 days) long and people will have either 2 infusions of zolbetuximab and 3 infusions of chemotherapy or 3 infusions of chemotherapy by itself during each treatment cycle. People will visit the clinic on certain days during their treatment. The study doctors will check for any medical problems from zolbetuximab. Also, people in the study will have a health check including blood tests. On some visits they will also have scans to check for any changes in their cancer. Tumor samples will be taken before treatment if a previous sample is not available. People will have the option of giving a tumor sample after treatment has finished. People will visit the clinic after they stop treatment. They will be asked about any medical problems and will have a health check including blood tests. The number of visits and checks done at each visit will depend on the health of each person and whether they completed their treatment or not. Read Less

This phase III trial studies olaparib or cediranib maleate and olaparib to see how well they work compared with standard platinum-based chemotherapy in treating patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back. Olaparib and cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride 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 olaparib or cediranib maleate and olaparib is more effective than standard platinum-based chemotherapy in treating patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab work in eliminating further chemotherapy after surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage II-IIIa breast cancer who have no cancer remaining at surgery (either in the breast or underarm lymph nodes) after pre-operative chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are both a form of "targeted therapy" because they work by attaching themselves to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When these drugs attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab may enable fewer chemotherapy drugs to be given without compromising patient outcomes compared to the usual treatment. Read Less

Precision Promise is a multi-center, seamless Phase 2/3 platform trial designed to evaluate multiple regimens in metastatic pancreatic cancer. Primary Objectives * To compare each investigational arm versus standard of care (SOC) for superiority in overall survival in first and/or second line metastatic ductal adenocarcinoma (metastatic pancreatic cancer) participants and determine which, if any, participants benefit from each investigational arm. Secondary Objectives * To determine short and long-term safety signals of each investigational arm in metastatic pancreatic cancer participants vs. SOC. * To determine progression-free survival (PFS) for each investigational arm vs. SOC. * To determine rates of overall response, CR, and PR; duration of overall response, CR or PR (whichever occurs first). * To determine rates of clinical benefit; duration of clinical benefit.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab work in treating patients with thymic cancer that has spread to other places in the body, has come back, or cannot be removed by surgery. 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, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ramucirumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known if giving carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without ramucirumab will work better in treating patients with thymic cancer. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of DB-1303/BNT323 compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review (BICR) in the HR+, HER2-low (immunohistochemistry \[IHC\]2+/in situ hybridization \[ISH\]- and IHC 1+) population.

This is a Phase III randomised, double-blind, multi-centre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with standard of care platinum based chemotherapy and bevacizumab followed by maintenance durvalumab and bevacizumab or durvalumab, bevacizumab and olaparib in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.

This trial studies how well proton beam radiation therapy compared with intensity modulated photon radiotherapy works in treating patients with stage I-IVA esophageal cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy uses a beam of protons (rather than x-rays) to send radiation inside the body to the tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. Intensity modulated photon radiotherapy uses high-energy x-rays to deliver radiation directly to the tumor without damaging much of the healthy tissue around it. It is not yet known whether proton beam therapy or intensity modulated photon radiotherapy will work better in treating patients with esophageal cancer. Read Less
