Study Objectives Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy with or without gefitinib in treating unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Biological therapies such as gefitinib may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of tumors. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy is more effective with or without gefitinib in treating non-small cell lung cancer Conditions: Adenocarcinoma of the Lung, Bronchoalveolar Cell Lung Cancer, Large Cell Lung Cancer, Squamous Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Intervention / Treatment: DRUG: cisplatin, DRUG: docetaxel, DRUG: etoposide, DRUG: gefitinib, RADIATION: radiation therapy, OTHER: placebo Location: United States Study Design and Phases Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL Phase: PHASE3 Primary Purpose: TREATMENT Allocation: RANDOMIZED Interventional Model: PARALLEL Masking: DOUBLE

Study Objectives This phase I trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works in combination with tremelimumab and durvalumab in treating participants with cervical, vaginal, or vulvar cancers that have come back (recurrent) or spread to other areas of the body (metastatic). Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy, tremelimumab, and durvalumab may work better in treating participants with cervical, vaginal, or vulvar cancers.

Study Objectives Carcinoma of the gallbladder is the commonest malignancy of the biliary tract. Higher incidence has been noted in Chile, Mexico and Southwest American Indians.\[1\] It is the third most common malignancy in India.\[2\] The disease may mimic benign disease in presentation.Up to 1/3rd of patients may present with jaundice but of these only 7% will be resectable.\[4\] With aggressive surgical resection, actuarial 5 year survival of 83% for stage II disease and 63% for stage III have been reported.\[5\] Treatment of choice is complete surgical resection. The role of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is not very well documented in treatment of gallbladder cancer. Because of the propensity of gallbladder carcinoma to spread to regional lymph nodes at an early stage and the high rate of loco regional recurrence, adjuvant chemotherapy or chemo-radiotherapy seems a rational therapeutic option. Gemcitabine with or without Cisplatin has been increasingly used. In a recent paper Gemcitabine with Cisplatin was found to be more effective than gemcitabine alone and provides definite survival advantage and progression free survival.\[6\] An earlier randomized trial done to assess the efficacy of the adjuvant chemotherapy for the pancreato-biliary cancer reported improvement in disease free and overall 5 year survival.\[7\] But this study has included patients with suboptimal resection and all pancreato-biliary malignancy. In view of these observations this study is being designed to assess the efficacy of the chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting in gallbladder cancer patients who have undergone curative resections.

Study Objectives The purpose of the study is to investigate the response rate for triple negative breast cancer patients with brain metastasis when INIPARIB is used in combination with irinotecan. Based on data generated by BiPar/Sanofi, it is concluded that iniparib does not possess characteristics typical of the PARP inhibitor class. The exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated, however based on experiments on tumor cells performed in the laboratory, iniparib is a novel investigational anti-cancer agent that induces gamma-H2AX (a marker of DNA damage) in tumor cell lines, induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in tumor cell lines, and potentiates the cell cycle effects of DNA damaging modalities in tumor cell lines. Investigations into potential targets of iniparib and its metabolites are ongoing.

Study Objectives The roles of imaging in cancer may be divided into that of diagnosis and tumour detection, staging and assessment of response to treatment. Standard radiological techniques include ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). A combination of imaging techniques is often necessary to differentiate between cancerous and normal tissue. Traditional imaging techniques identify cancers by their gross appearance and structural/ cellular characteristics, whilst PET do so by tracking glucose metabolism. PET owes its specificity to the high rate of glucose metabolism seen in most cancers. However it is not used routinely due to a lack of availability and high costs. In addition, PET is often used in combination with CT, which imparts a significant diagnostic radiation dose. This can increase an individual's risk of cancer, especially with childhood or early adult exposure. In contrast, MRI is more readily available and does not involve radiation. However its ability to detect cancer by tracking glucose metabolism has not been widely explored. Our group has recently developed a novel MRI technique called Gluco-CEST that can image glucose delivery, uptake and metabolism in cancer, therefore potentially allowing a radiation-free, one-stop imaging service that can be adapted to current generation of MRI scanners. This study aims to optimise the GlucoCEST technique, after which it will be rigorously tested and compared to standard imaging parameters and clinical or pathological reference standards to evaluate its diagnostic and predictive power across a number of cancer populations.

Study Objectives Radiation proctitis is quite common in treatment of pelvic tumors. We investigated whether the use of symbiotic would prevent early symptoms of radiation proctitis and improve the quality of life in patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer treatment. We randomized patients to intake one sachet of either a symbiotic product containing 4.3 g of dietary fiber and Lactobacillus reuteri in a concentration greater than 10(8)colony forming units (CFU)(Fibermais Flora Nestlé Brazil) or sachets containing 5 g of maltodextrin. They were instructed to dilute one sachet in 200mL of water and drink once a day during the week before the beginning of radiotherapy sessions, and increase the dose to two sachets daily after the beginning of the sessions for four weeks. Every week a questionnaire named EORTC QLQ-PRT23 was applied to evaluate GI symptoms and quality of life.

Study Objectives This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of melphalan hydrochloride in treating participants with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma who are undergoing a donor stem cell transplantation. Giving chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplantation helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells.

Exclusion Criteria: * Severe heart disease (Class III, IV) Psychiatric disability (psychosis) Pregnant or lactating females * Women of pregnancy potential must practice birth control methods because of the potential risk of fetal teratogenecity with these agents. * Patients must sign an informed consent indicating they are aware of the investigational nature of this study, in keeping with the policies of the hospital. * Definition of CML Phases: a. Early chronic phase: time from diagnosis to therapy < 12 months Late chronic phase: time from diagnosis to therapy > 12 months b. Blastic phase: presence of 30% blasts or more in the peripheral blood or bone marrow. c. Accelerated phase CML: presence of any of the following features: - Peripheral or marrow blasts 15% or more - Peripheral or marrow basophils 20% or more - Thrombocytopenia < 100 x 109L unrelated to therapy - Documented extramedullary blastic disease outside liver or spleen * Continuation of # 4 d. Clonal evolution defined as the presence of additional clones other than the Ph chromosome is part of accelerated phase CML. Ph chromosome variants or complex Ph chromosome translocations are not considered to indicate disease acceleration. We have recently found clonal evolution to have a variable prognostic impact and may be suppressed with IFN-A therapy (22,23). Hence these patients will be eligible if no other therapy (22,23). Hence these patients will be eligible if no other accelerated phase signs are present.

Study Objectives Open-label, randomized, multicenter, Phase II trial designed to estimate the efficacy of CAPTEM versus FOLFIRI as second line treatment in MGMT methylated, RAS mutated advanced CRC patients who have progressed on or after first-line oxaliplatin containing chemotherapy for metastatic disease. MGMT will be assessed centrally at Pathology Department of Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori prior to enrollment. A minimum of ten 3-micron unstained sections on charged slides of tumor will be required and methylation status will be provided within a maximum of seven days to the Study Centers. Presence of RAS mutation will be assessed at each local participating center. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms: * Arm A (experimental arm): CAPTEM * Arm B (control arm): FOLFIRI Study treatment will be given in cycles repeated every 28 days for Arm A and every 14 days for Arm B. Patients in Arm A will receive capecitabine at the oral dose of 1500 mg/mq/die bid from day 1 to day 14 every 28 days plus temozolomide 150 mg/mq/die bid starting on day 9 to 14 every 28 days. Patients in Arm B will receive FOLFIRI chemotherapy starting Day 1 q2w (every cycle) starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1. FOLFIRI consists of irinotecan (starting dose of 180 mg/m2) on day one only; 5-FU 7 (starting bolus and 22-hour infusional doses of 400 mg/m2 and 600 mg/m2, respectively), and leucovorin (racemic, starting dose of 200 mg/m2 or L-form, starting dose of 100 mg/m2) for two consecutive days. Treatment will continue for up to 6 cycles in Arm A and up to 12 cycles in Arm B or up to disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or informed consent withdrawal. Randomization will be stratified across the treatment arms by the following predefined stratification variables: disease progression within 9 months from the start of first-line oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy (\< vs. ≥9 months); prior bevacizumab in combination with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (yes vs. no). Efficacy assessments will be performed every 2 cycles in Arm A and every 4 cycles in Arm B until progression.

Study Objectives Resveratrol is purported to possess cancer preventive activity, especially for colon cancer, though its mechanisms of action are not well defined. Resveratrol is found in the skin of grapes and has anti-oxidative and pro-apoptotic effects on cancer cell lines in vitro. The main dietary sources of resveratrol are grapes, grape products, and red wine, and small amounts may be found in mulberries. A prior report and compelling preliminary data from our laboratory suggest that resveratrol modulates Wnt signaling, a signaling pathway which is activated in over 85% of colon cancers. In this proposal, studies were performed to define the actions of resveratrol on the Wnt signaling pathway in a clinical trial in which patients with colon cancer received treatment with Resveratrol, and correlative laboratory studies examined its effects directly on colon cancer and normal colonic mucosa. These studies provided data on the mechanisms of resveratrol action and provided a foundation for future prevention trials, correlative studies and therapeutic clinical research with this agent.

Study Objectives The prevalence of malnutrition is common among patients with colorectal cancer. Chemotherapy induced side effects may impact negatively on nutrition intake thus increase the risk of malnutrition and serious complications for patients. Purpose is to test the effect of empowering education on activation and knowledge level among patients with colorectal cancer during the chemotherapy. Secondary outcomes are quality of life and malnutrition. A two-arm, single center, patient blinded superiority trial with stratified randomization (1:1) and with repeated measures is used to measure the effectiveness of face-to-face education on nutrition intake related chemotherapy induced side-effects' self-care compared to standard care. Eligibility criteria are adult patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and receiving intra venous chemotherapy treatment. Patients are recruited in one university hospital outpatient clinic in Finland. Experienced oncology nurse delivers the intervention two weeks after the first chemotherapy. Primary outcomes are activation in self-care and knowledge level. Secondary outcomes are quality of life and risk of malnutrition measured at baseline (M0) and after eight (M1) and 16 weeks (M2) after the intervention. The study will provide knowledge of nurse-led educational intervention on self-care among patients with colorectal cancer. The findings will contribute to patient education and self-care, thus better quality of life.

Study Objectives This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy and dasatinib works in treating participants with Philadelphia-positive or B-cell receptor-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, methotrexate, and cytarabine, 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. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving chemotherapy in combination with dasatinib may work better in treating participants with Philadelphia-positive or BCR-ABL positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Study Objectives This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib works in treating patients with advanced liver cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab and erlotinib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving bevacizumab together with erlotinib may kill more tumor cells Conditions: Adult Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Advanced Adult Primary Liver Cancer, Localized Unresectable Adult Primary Liver Cancer, Recurrent Adult Primary Liver Cancer Intervention / Treatment: BIOLOGICAL: bevacizumab, DRUG: erlotinib hydrochloride Location: United States Study Design and Phases Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL Phase: PHASE2 Primary Purpose: TREATMENT Allocation: NA Interventional Model: SINGLE_GROUP Masking: NONE

Study Objectives There is a great need for new therapies for carcinomas that have progressed on or not responded to current therapy. There are no approved Met targeted agents in standard clinical use. In the population of subjects with advanced carcinomas that are unresponsive to standard of care, and based on the relatively safe, reversible and monitorable toxicity profile of ASLAN002 in non clinical studies, the potential for benefit from ASLAN002 outweighs the potential risks for toxicity. The purpose of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose of ASLAN002 in subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumours, as well as to define the overall safety profile of ASLAN002. Conditions: Malignant Solid Tumour Intervention / Treatment: DRUG: ASLAN002( BMS 777607) Study Design and Phases Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL Phase: PHASE1 Primary Purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE Allocation: NA Interventional Model: SINGLE_GROUP Masking: NONE

Study Objectives People with pancreatic cancer usually have a large amount of the cancer in the area of the pancreas and around it when they are diagnosed with it. Or their cancer has spread (metastasized)outside that area of the abdomen and is not able to be surgically removed (resected). For patients with metastatic disease, one standard treatment is the combination of gemcitabine and erlotinib. This combination has shown slightly longer survival compared to getting gemcitabine alone. For patients with localized but unresectable disease, the standard treatment remains controversial. Early studies showed that chemotherapy and radiation together was better than either one used alone. The greatest benefit of external beam radiotherapy may be after a period of full-dose chemotherapy alone, to help the rapid spread. A problem of beginning treatment with standard radiotherapy is that the doses of chemotherapy usually have to be reduced sometimes by half. Studies have already shown that low dose radiotherapy (LDRT)is safe. This study will evaluate the safety of LDRT instead of standard doses with full dosing of gemcitabine and erlotinib in patients with locally advanced or limited metastatic pancreatic cancer. Patients will be enrolled in groups of 3 to 6 each with a slightly higher dose of LDRT and erlotinib. For patients with locally advanced disease, this protocol also may help because most patients develop and die from spread to the liver and abdominal cavity.

Study Objectives The human body has a natural stress response to surgery, including the formation of blood clots. This response to surgery has been shown to increase metastases (the spread of cancer cells to other organs in the body). These metastases cannot be seen at the time of surgery but when they grow into new tumors, the cancer has recurred (come back). A blood thinner called "low molecular weight heparin" (LMWH) can suppress the development of metastases after surgery in animal experiments. The investigators want to see if giving patients with colorectal cancer the blood thinner, LMWH, around the time of surgery can decrease the chance of their cancer spreading to other organs (metastases) and coming back (recurrence). The investigators need 1075 patients to answer our scientific question. Patients who give informed consent will be randomly put into one of two groups, the experimental group and the control group. The patients in the control group will be treated with LMWH starting a few hours after surgery and every day until they leave the hospital. This is how most patients are treated after colon cancer surgery (standard care). The patients in the experimental group will be treated with LMWH for a longer period of time, starting on the day they agree to have surgery and continuing for two months after surgery. All the patients will be followed for at least three years after surgery to find out if their cancer has recurred (come back). If LMWH treatment around the time of surgery reduces the chance of recurrence in patients with colorectal cancer, it would improve the health and quality of life for these patients.

Study Objectives This phase III trial is studying observation to see how well a risk based treatment strategy works in patients with soft tissue sarcoma. In the study, patients are assigned to receive surgery +/- radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy depending on their risk of recurrence. Sometimes, after surgery, the tumor may not need additional treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ifosfamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving these treatments after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Study Objectives Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction and polycystic ovaries. Insulin resistance (IR) is a common feature of PCOS, and the resultant hyperinsulinemia is theorized to promote hyperandrogenism in the disorder. However, 30-50% of women with PCOS who are lean do not have insulin resistance. Women with PCOS also exhibit chronic low-grade inflammation. In PCOS, glucose ingestion activates nuclear factor ĸB (NFĸB), the cardinal signal of inflammation culminating in upregulation of the inflammation pathway within mononuclear cells (MNC). This phenomenon is independent of excess adiposity and is highly correlated with circulating androgens. In addition, in vitro exposure to proinflammatory stimuli is capable of directly stimulating ovarian theca cell androgen production. Nonacetylated salicylates suppress NFĸB activation and are well tolerated in humans. The proposed research is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of 90 women with PCOS. Forty-five subjects with PCOS (15 lean without IR), 15 lean with IR and 15 obese) receiving salsalate, a nonacetylated salicylate, at an oral dose of 3-4 gm daily for 12 weeks will be compared with 45 age- and body-composition-matched control women with PCOS receiving placebo. The overarching hypothesis is that inflammation contributes to ovarian dysfunction, independent of excess adiposity or IR. The specific aims are, I: To examine the effect of salsalate administration on the ovarian capacity to secrete androgen and on insulin sensitivity in PCOS. II: To examine the effect of salsalate administration on the inflammatory response of mononuclear cells induced by lipid ingestion and glucose infusion in PCOS. The approach involves evaluation of ovarian androgen secretion in response to human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) administration and insulin sensitivity during the euglycemic phase of a two-step pancreatic clamp along with ovulation monitoring before and after salsalate administration. The inflammatory response of MNC to lipid ingestion and the hyperglycemic phase of the two-step clamp will also be evaluated during treatment by measuring reactive oxygen species, the mRNA and protein content of inflammation markers, NFĸB activation and cytokine release in culture. The investigators expect that women with PCOS receiving salsalate will exhibit decreased ovarian androgen secretion and reduced inflammation regardless of adiposity or IR status. These results will be significant if they show a causal contribution of inflammation to ovarian dysfunction in PCOS, thus improving our understanding of the pathogenesis of PCOS, opening previously unexplored therapeutic avenues that are not necessarily dependent on improving IR, and guiding the design of future studies aimed at determining what interventions will optimally attenuate inflammation in PCOS to reduce medical disease and enhance fertility.

Study Objectives This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the drug is being studied. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved the drug for your type of cancer or for any use outside of research studies. It has been found that some people with NSCLC have a change (mutation) in a certain gene called the EGFR gene. This mutated gene helps cancer cells grow. The majority of NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations achieve good outcomes with erlotinib or other EGFR inhibitor therapies, with a high response rate, prolonged progression-free survival and possibly improved overall survival from therapy. However, the 4% of EGFR mutant patients that harbor an exon 20 insertion mutation historically have reaped little benefit from EGFR-directed therapy due to the low affinity of this mutation for direct EGFR inhibitors, especially erlotinib and gefitinib (see Yasuda et al, Lancet Oncol 2011). This group of patients is ideal for studying other targeted therapeutic strategies that could affect the oncogene mutation in EGFR via alternative mechanisms. AUY922 is an investigational drug that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. This drug has been used in other research studies. Information from those other research studies suggests that AUY922 may be effective in killing cancer cells in patients with exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of AUY922 and determine how well AUY922 works for participants with advanced NSCLC and exon 20 insertion mutations in EGFR.

Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier. * Patients who are receiving any investigational agents. * Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the chemotherapy used in the study. * Concomitant use of phenytoin, carbamazepine, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenobarbital, or St John's Wort; these drugs induce CYP3A and may decrease levels of taxanes. 5-FU is a strong CYP2C9 inducer, and concomitant use with carvedilol, celecoxib, fosphenytoin, fluoxetine, phenytoin, warfarin and other CYP2C9 substrates should be used with caution. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, unstable cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Pregnant women are excluded from this study because chemotherapy has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. * HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with chemotherapeutic agents. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.
