Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of NC-4016 that can be given to patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. The safety of the drug will also be studied.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of azacitidine that can be given with vorinostat, gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan, with a stem cell transplant, and with or without rituximab. Researchers also want to learn about the safety and level of effectiveness of this combination.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if glutamine can help control and prevent sores, blisters, or inflammation in your mouth or esophagus due to your current treatment. In this study, glutamine will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well haloperidol with or without lorazepam works in reducing confusion, disorientation, and inability to think or remember clearly (delirium) in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Palliative therapy with haloperidol and lorazepam may reduce symptoms of delirium and help patients with advanced cancer live more comfortably. It is not yet known whether lorazepam may be an effective treatment for delirium when given with haloperidol.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if fentanyl can change perception of shortness of breath in cancer patients. Researchers also want to learn if the study drug can help to improve your physical function. In this study, fentanyl will be compared to a placebo. Fentanyl is commonly used for treatment of cancer pain. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if fentanyl nasal spray can help to control shortness of breath in patients who have been treated or are being treated for cancer. Fentanyl is commonly used for treatment of cancer pain. It may help patients with their shortness of breath as well. In this study, fentanyl will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of Yervoy® (ipilimumab) with Revlimid® (lenalidomide) that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The safety of these drugs will also be studied. Ipilimumab is designed to increase the immune system's ability to fight cancer. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may decrease the growth of cancer cells.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of dasatinib and crizotinib that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Dasatinib is designed to block certain proteins from causing cancer cells to grow out of control. This may cause the cancer cells to die. Crizotinib is designed to block certain abnormal genes found in cancer cells. This may cause the cancer cells to die. This is an investigational study. Dasatinib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of leukemia. Crizotinib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of lung cancer. The combination of dasatinib and crizotinib is currently being used for research purposes only. Up to 176 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if dexamethasone can help reduce shortness of breath in cancer patients. Researchers also want to learn if it can help to improve lung function and quality of life. In this study, dexamethasone will be compared to a placebo. Dexamethasone is commonly used for treatment of nausea, tiredness, and pain. It may help patients with shortness of breath. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug but is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of T cells that can be given in combination with standard chemotherapy to patients with CLL. The safety of this combination will also be studied. The T cells being used in this study are a type of white blood cell that will be taken from your blood and then genetically changed in a laboratory. The process of changing the DNA (the genetic material of cells) of the T cells is called a gene transfer. After the gene transfer is complete, the genetically changed T-cells will be put back into your body. These T cells may help prevent cancer cells from coming back.
