The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of clindamycin and artesunate as possible combination partners for fosmidomycin to protect it from its susceptibility to recrudescent infections when used as monotherapy for acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria while retaining its excellent safety profile
To investigate the long-term safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of KUC-7483 in patients with overactive bladder.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that using the BirthTrack for management of labor shortens the time to delivery and thus improves both maternal and perinatal outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether erlotinib is effective in the treatment of psoriasis.
The purpose of this study is to determine: - Whether bevacizumab increases the amount of oxygen in cancer as measured by a special positron emission tomography (PET) scan using 64Cu-ATSM. - Whether the amount of oxygen in cancer as measured by 64Cu-ATSM PET scan predicts how well the cancer responds to treatment with chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Internal radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. It may also cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well partial-breast radiation therapy works in treating women with early-stage breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as conatumumab, 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. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy may uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving conatumumab together with gemcitabine hydrochloride, capecitabine, and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of conatumumab when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride, capecitabine, and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer.
It seems that the aldehydes and NO2, at the levels found indoor, could be the aggravating factors for an allergic response. However this effect has not been demonstrated. The investigators plan to study the effect of exposure to standard doses of these pollutants on the bronchial reactivity as measured by bronchial challenge tests with dust mite extract in volunteers asthmatic, allergic to house dust mite.
There is a clear need for effective, steroid-sparing agents for the management of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Thus, agents like Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, with the potential of decreasing pro-inflammatory events leading to GVHD without affecting graft-versus-leukemia (GVL), may have a central role in the prevention and treatment of GVHD. This study will look at the efficacy of panobinostat (LBH589), an HDAC inhibitor, in the treatment of patients with chronic GVHD who have failed corticosteroids. In this group of patients, effective steroid-sparing options are limited and are usually associated with profound immunosuppression and decreased GVL effect.
We believe that laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy for cancer allows quicker recovery and significantly reduces the chances of postoperative wound breakdown. This will shorten the wait time required to begin adjuvant therapy to one week after surgery thereby combating the micrometastasis unseen at the time of surgery. Prognosis for patients with pancreatic cancer will therefore improve along with decreasing the incidence of locoregional recurrence.
