PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate and compare overall survival (OS) in patients with resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated with perioperative fluorouracil, irinotecan hydrochloride, leucovorin calcium and oxaliplatin (modified [m]FOLFIRINOX) and surgery versus up-front surgery followed by

Monotherapy Period For the Monotherapy Period of Study KCP-330-027, patients will be allocated to one of two test formulation treatment arms for once weekly dosing over a period of 3 weeks. A third test formulation of 100-mg oral suspension will be allocated on Week 3 to 6 patients in total out of

Pancreatic cancer continues to be a highly lethal disease with an overall 5 year survival of only 8%. Since 2004, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing by 1.5% per year and it is estimated that there will be 53,670 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2017, with 43,090

At the same time as these results, triple therapies involving 5FU + oxiplatin + irinotecan have objectively shown a significant increase in overall survival of patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared to gemcitabine alone (median of 11.1 months versus 6.8 months, HR = 0.57 [0.45 -

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. A report published by the WHO in February 2014, estimated there were 1.83 million new cases and 1.59 million deaths worldwide in 2012. The American Lung Association reports 399,431 Americans living with lung cancer, with an

1. Recruitment: Suitable potential subjects will be identified, namely those who have failed first or second line chemotherapy agents. 2. Liver biopsy Right before the 1st transarterial chemoembolisation procedure, the liver metastases will be biopsied under ultrasound or CT guidance by the IR with

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is a highly lethal disease. It is estimated that in 2010 there were approximately 43,140 new cases in the United States and 36,800 deaths which ranks fourth among cancer related deaths . At diagnosis, roughly 17,000 of the initial 43,000 patients have disease which

Gemcitabine combined with 5FU may enhance the activity of 5-FU in vivo. Gemcitabine is an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, an enzyme needed for synthesis of deoxynucleotides, and 5-FU interferes with dTTP synthesis by inhibition of thymidylate synthase (TS). It is likely that concomitant

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate efficacy of the addition of fosaprepitant (fosaprepitant dimeglumine) in controlling acute and delayed vomiting with the standard prophylactic anti-emetic combination of 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone for gastrointestinal cancer patients receiving

Group I (Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy): Patients that accepted chemotherapy including Cisplatin≥50mg/m2, Carmustine>250mg/m2, Cyclophosphamide>1500mg/m2, Dacarbazine>60mg/m2, Doxorubicin>60mg/m2, Epirubicin>90mg/m2, IFO≥10g/m2 or AC program. Group II (Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy): Patients

About half of patients with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer will develop metastatic disease and, however, in spite of the significant progress in the therapeutical strategies for metastatic disease, virtually all patients will eventually succumb to their illness. Based on prior clinical data there

As the third most common cancer in incidence and second in mortality, colorectal cancer (CRC) significantly impacts the lives of many Americans.1 In 2008, it is estimated that 148,810 cases will be diagnosed and 49,960 patients will die from this disease. Approximately 20% of patients present with
