Interventions

NameTypeDescription
NEO212 Oral CapsuleDRUGNEO212 is a novel chemical entity that was generated by covalent conjugation of temozolomide (TMZ) with perillyl alcohol (POH).
IpilimumabDRUGIpilimumab, sold under the brand name Yervoy, is a monoclonal antibody medication that works to activate the immune system by targeting CTLA-4, a protein receptor that downregulates the immune system. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes can recognize and destroy cancer cells.
PembrolizumabDRUGPembrolizumab, sold under the brand name Keytruda, is a humanized antibody used in cancer immunotherapy that treats melanoma, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, stomach cancer, cervical cancer, and certain types of breast cancer. It is given by slow injection into a vein.
NivolumabDRUGNivolumab, sold under the brand name Opdivo, is a medication used to treat a number of types of cancer.
RegorafenibDRUGRegorafenib, sold under the brand name Stivarga among others, is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor developed by Bayer which targets angiogenic, stromal and oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase. Regorafenib shows anti-angiogenic activity due to its dual targeted VEGFR2-TIE2 tyrosine kinase inhibition
CarboplatinDRUGCarboplatin, sold under the trade name Paraplatin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of forms of cancer. This includes ovarian cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, brain cancer, and neuroblastoma. It is used by injection into a vein.
PaclitaxelDRUGPaclitaxel, sold under the brand name Taxol among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, cervical cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is administered by intravenous injection
FOLFIRI ProtocolDRUGFOLFIRI is a chemotherapy regimen for treatment of colorectal cancer. It is made up of the following drugs: FOL - folinic acid (leucovorin), a vitamin B derivative with multiple applications, which in this context increases the cytotoxicity of 5-fluorouracil; F - fluorouracil (5-FU), a pyrimidine analog and antimetabolite which incorporates into the DNA molecule and stops synthesis; and IRI - irinotecan (Camptosar), a topoisomerase inhibitor, which prevents DNA from uncoiling and duplicating.
BevacizumabDRUGBevacizumab, sold under the brand name Avastin among others, is a medication used to treat a number of types of cancers and a specific eye disease. For cancer, it is given by slow injection into a vein and used for colon cancer, lung cancer, glioblastoma, and renal-cell carcinoma
