Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This phase II trial studies how well rilotumumab works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has failed to respond to other therapies (persistent) or has returned after a period of improvement (recurrent). Rilotumumab is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by targeting certain cells and blocking them from working.

This phase II trial studies the effects of temsirolimus in treating patients with cervical cancer that cannot be cured by standard therapy. Temsirolimus interferes with a protein in cells that is part of one pathway that sends signals to stimulate cell growth and survival. By blocking this protein cancer cells may stop growing or die.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving capecitabine together with lapatinib ditosylate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine and lapatinib ditosylate together works in treating patients with squamous cell cancer of the head and neck.

This phase II trial is studying how well selumetinib works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer that has come back or is persistent. Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The primary objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of the HPV vaccine Gardasil on anal condylomata recurrence and persistence rates in HIV positive patients.

RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which dose of vorinostat is more effective when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the best dose of vorinostat to see how well it works when given together with fluorouracil and leucovorin calcium in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous treatment.

This phase II trial studies how well bendamustine hydrochloride works in treating patients with anaplastic glioma or glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or growing, spreading or getting worse (progressive). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of GDC-0449 in treating young patients with medulloblastoma that is recurrent or did not respond to previous treatment. GDC-0449 may be effective in treating young patients with medulloblastoma.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well bevacizumab with or without everolimus works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal 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. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab and everolimus may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether bevacizumab is more effective when given together with or without everolimus in treating ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This study is a phase II clinical study. Recurrence after radiotherapy patients who are failure of radiotherapy in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were treated by cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil with Sorafenib as first-line treatment. The objective response(complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)), Disease Control Rate , safety profile, tolerability will be evaluated according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.
