Study of Cabozantinib in Combination With Atezolizumab to Subjects With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors

- Dose Escalation Stage: to determine the schedule and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Expansion Stage dose of cabozantinib when taken in combination with a standard dosing regimen of atezolizumab (1200 mg infusion, once every 3 weeks). - Expansion Stage: to determine the preliminary efficacy (objective response rate [ORR]...

A Phase 1/2 Safety Study of Intratumorally Dosed INT230-6

INT230-6 is comprised of a 3 agents in a fixed ratio - a cell permeation enhancer and two, potent anti-cancer payloads (cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate). The penetration enhancer facilitates dispersion of the two drugs throughout injected tumors and enables increased diffusion into cancer cells. (Nonclinical safety studies showed no findings...

Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Alpelisib Plus Fulvestrant or Letrozole, Based on Prior Endocrine Therapy, in Patients With PIK3CA Mutation With Advanced Breast Cancer Who Have Progressed on or After Prior Treatments

A Phase II trial of sEphB4-HSA in combination with Anti PD1 Antibody Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) for metastatic urothelial cancer refractory to platinum

Patients with the most common type of bladder cancer are initially treated with chemotherapy with regimens that include a platinum agent such as cisplatin or carboplatin. Once the cancer develops resistance the treatment is changed to an anti PD1/PDL1 immunotherapy with drugs such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab. This study proposes...
