Filter by:The purpose of this study is to create a large Thailand database documenting the severity of anemia and its management in the cancer population.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) causes prolongation of the QT/QTc interval in participants with advanced cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if using the PEMFlex Solo II, a high-resolution camera for PET scan imaging, on an area of the body that has, or is suspected to have cancer will give researchers the same or better information about the disease compared to the images taken with a routine PET/CT. Researchers will compare the images taken using the PEMFlex Solo II to the images taken during your scheduled routine PET/CT scan, as well as any additional routine CT scan(s), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan(s), and/or ultrasound image(s) you may have had within the last 30 days or may have in the next 30 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of hydromorphone hydrochloride (HCl) Oral Osmotic System (OROS) by assessing the extent of reduction of medication frequency for the management of breakthrough pain after the administration of hydromorphone HCl OROS in Korean cancer participants.
The primary purpose of this research is to test the effects of goal setting on fruit and vegetable goal attainment and consumption in a 10 episode video game. Factors associated with maintenance of behavior change will also be examined. Secondary purposes are to explore the impact of the intervention on psychosocial factors and the home environment. 400 parent-child pairs will be recruited for this research (800 participants total). Children will play the video game and participate in data collection activities. Parents will receive newsletters, have access to a healthy foods web site, and participate in data collection activities. A small subset will be randomly selected to participate in interviews about the intervention and its effect on the home food environment.
This study will test a 2-tiered tailored intervention and evaluation of cardiovascular health outcomes among survivors designed to inform childhood cancer survivors about their individual cardiac risk and follow-up recommendations and to provide motivational support for cardiovascular (CV) screening. This study will test if the addition of telephone motivational interviewing, tailored to behavioral constructs, is superior to the current standard of care in increasing survivors' CV screening.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ketoconazole, taken orally, influences the level of eribulin in the blood when the two drugs are given at the same time. The study will enroll patients with solid tumors whose cancer became worse even after standard treatment, or for whom there is no standard treatment available. The study will also investigate whether eribulin given together with ketoconazole is safe (has few side-effects) and is effective against cancer.
The main purpose of the study is to establish a safe dose of AZD8055 in patients with mild or moderate liver disease by providing information on any potential side effects this drug may cause and collecting data about how hepatocellular carcinoma responds to the drug.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new drug and to look at how the drug is handled by your body. This is the first time the drug will be given to people, the drug has been safely given to animals over many days at higher doses than will be given in the study. The study will be done in healthy men and woman to determine what effects, good or bad, it has on thier health. This study will find out: If the drug has any side effects after one dose of the drug is given? How much of the drug gets into the bloodstream, and how long does the body take to get rid of it? If the drug causes any changes to a substance that is in skin, hair or blood.
Multicenter, open phase 2 study on patients with malignant mesothelioma. Standardly, 4 to 6 cycles of palliative chemotherapy, platinum in combination with pemetrexed, are given. Despite of this treatment, median survival is poor (9-12 months). By combining conventional cytotoxic agents with a novel agent, hopefully treatment and survival can be approved. Cetuximab or Erbitux is a monoclonal antibody against the EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor). By blocking the receptor, it interferes with cel growth and division. Most mesothelioma show a strong expression of the EGFR protein. Apart from that, Cetuximab also has antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). In this trial, patients will be treated with standard chemotherapy, combined with Cetuximab weekly. After a maximum of 6 cycles of chemotherapy, administration of Cetuximab will be continued until disease progression. Every 6 weeks, a CT scan will be done to evaluate therapy. Most common side effect of Cetuximab is acneiform rash. The translation research program consists of the determination of EGFR- and K-Ras mutations on the tumor tissue and the correlation with outcome. In the first part of the trial, 18 patients will be included. After a positive interim analysis, a total of 43 patients will be included.
