PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate major pathological response rate. (Resectable and borderline resectable groups [treatment naive or previously treated]) II. To estimate 6-month disease control rate. (Locally advanced groups [treatment naive or previously treated])
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To
Methods: Patients with resectable pancreatic cancer will be treated with oxaliplatin 85 mg/m² IV over 2 hours, irinotecan 150 mg/m² given concurrently with folinic acid 400 mg/m² IV over 90 min, followed by a 46-hour infusion of 5-fluorouracil 2400 mg/m². Slow oral digitalization will be used
TACE is indicated for the treatment of unresectable CRC_LM, patients who are refractory to systemic chemotherapy, elderly, or have a poor performance status, and is usually performed using irinotecan (IRI) covalently loaded onto embolics.
Although chemoembolization with irinotecan-loaded embolics
Statistical hypotheses and sample size calculation:
It is estimated that the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 1year will be improved from 33% (corresponding to a median PFS of 7.5 months [null hypothesis]) to 47% (corresponding to a median PFS of 11 months [alternative hypothesis]) with the
The VEGF-driven tumour pathway has been demonstrated to represent a novel therapeutic target for an innovative class of antineoplastic agents. Among these antiangiogenetic-targeted treatment modalities the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody bevacizumab has become a new standard of care for first-line
You will receive CRLX101 and bevacizumab through an intravenous (IV) infusion once every 14 days. Each cycle is 28 days. You will continue to receive both drugs until you and/or the research doctor decides it may not be in your best interest to continue.
You will receive premedication including
Background
One reason postulated for the limited efficacy of anti-angiogenic or anti-VEGF agents such as bevacizumab is that they cause intra-tumoral hypoxia, resulting in the induction and up-regulation of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) such as HIF-1Alpha. These in turn play a central role in
Ovarian cancer is diagnosed in approximately 26,000 American women each year, and is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers. Difficult to detect, the disease typically presents only when advanced. Ovarian cancer is among the most sensitive of solid tumors to chemotherapy. However, the
