Filter by:To investigate safety and efficacy on Japanese subjects treated with nelarabine injection for intravenous use in clinical settings of the following diseases: 1. T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (T-ALL) 2. T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) Also, "any adverse events involving neurological disorder, hypotension, and blood disorder and their details" are to be investigated as an item of particular concern. In addition, subject outcome (alive or dead) at one year after the start of treatment will also be investigated.
The aim of the study is to determine the MTD of Paclitaxel in association with metronomic Cyclophosphamide.
The purpose of the this study is to evaluate the effect of a high-fat, high calorie meal on the single dose PK of GSK1120212 in subjects with solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to implement a support interdisciplinary program(oncologists, pharmacists, physicians, nurses, leagues against cancer) of medication adherence to oral oncology treatments. The aim is to ensure continuity of care between professionals,effectiveness of treatment and patient safety.
The purpose of the study is to inform decision-makers of the best strategies to implement advanced care planning (ACP). An advanced care plan (ACP) is a verbal or written instruction describing what kind of care an individual would want (or not want)if they are no longer able speak for themselves to make health care decisions.
The rising incidence of cancer and the rapidly increasing number of people living longer with incurable disease, accentuates the need for optimal symptom management throughout the disease trajectory. Thanks to the medical and technological development, and the increased interest in palliative care research, palliative medicine has gradually become more evidence based. Patients with advanced cancer experience multiple symptoms at the time with fluctuating intensity and severity. Pain, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, loss of appetite and depression are among the most common and experienced by more than 50%. However, the prevalence rates of these symptoms vary considerably across studies, with a range from 35 to 90 % for pain as an example. These differences may in part be explained by different assessment tools, study methods and design and population characteristics. There is also lack of agreed-upon, common criteria to describe the main characteristics of a palliative care cancer population and few standardized tools for assessment and classification of symptoms exist. These shortcomings limit the possibility to design randomized controlled treatment trials in palliative care; the optimal way to improve clinical symptom management. To do this, a better understanding of how symptoms evolve and how they should be assessed and classified throughout the palliative care disease trajectory is important, supplemented with registrations of the treatment provided. The primary aim of this international research project the European Palliative Care Cancer Symptom study (EPCCS) is to extend the knowledge about and gain new insight in the prevalence and development of the most frequent cancer related symptoms during the course of disease, in a large sample of palliative care cancer patients. The clinical usefulness of the new assessment and classification system developed by the European Palliative Care Research Collaborative (EPCRC) / European Association for Palliative Care Research Network (EAPC RN) will be examined and data on the organization and delivery of palliative care at participating centers will be collected. The project also aims to further develop and consolidate international research collaboration through the European Palliative Care Research Centre (PRC). Taken together, these efforts will increase the understanding of the palliative disease trajectory and provide necessary knowledge and structure for future randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect LY2603618 on a protein [enzyme cytochrome P (CYP) 2D6] which is involved in the metabolic pathway of Desipramine in participants with cancer. This is a drug interaction study so the treatment of the disease will not be the main purpose of the study. The study involves two single doses of 50 milligrams (mg), 1 tablet by mouth, on Day 1 of Period 1 and 2. In Period 1 Desipramine will be administered alone. In Period 2 Desipramine will be administered in combination with LY2603618. LY2603618 will be administered as a 275mg intravenous (IV) infusion over 1 hour (hr). Desipramine will be administered at the end of the LY2603618 infusion. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected.
This study is intended to provide access to Romidepsin for participants who received Romidepsin in other trials sponsored by Gloucester Pharmaceuticals or Celgene Corporation and for participants whom the investigator feels may benefit from continuing treatment with Romidepsin.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center, first time in human study of AMP-224 in adult patients with cancer that is not responding to standard therapy. This study will be conducted in two stages consisting of a Dose-Escalation stage and an Expansion Stage.
The purpose of this study is to determine if denosumab is non-inferior to zoledronic acid in the treatment of bone disease from multiple myeloma.
