5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase II trial tests how well olanzapine works in managing cancer cachexia in patients experiencing esophagogastric, hepatopancreaticobiliary, colorectal, or lung cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) -associated appetite loss while receiving non-curative cancer therapy. Loss of appetite ("anorexia") in the setting of cancer is a key feature of "cachexia," a syndrome associated with loss of weight and muscle as well as weakness and fatigue. Olanzapine is a drug that targets key neurotransmitters (a type of molecule in the central nervous system that transmits messages to the rest of the body) that may stimulate appetite, restore caloric intake, minimize weight loss, and improve quality of life (QOL).
The study will evaluate the preliminary efficacy of 3 combinations (Sym021+Sym022, Sym021+Sym023 and Sym021+Sym023+irinotecan) in patients with biliary tract carcinomas (BTC) and with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by assessing overall response rates (ORRs) per Investigator assessment using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of the 3 combinations
This phase II trial is studying how well lapatinib works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract or liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to see if an experimental drug, called copanlisib is effective and safe in treating adult participants with cholangiocarcinoma, when used in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin.
The main purpose of this study is to see if regorafenib can help control or decrease cancer size in patients with cancer of the bile duct. Researchers also want to find out if regorafenib is safe and tolerable.
