Filter by:The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intranasal fentanyl spray in cancer patients over four weeks, especially during cancer-related breakthrough pain (BTP) attacks. The fentanyl spray was applied into the nose by a metered-spray device. The study was to provide further data on pharmacoeconomic efficiency of intranasal fentanyl spray.
A Phase 1 open-label, non-randomized dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the safety and tolerability of Birinapant (TL32711).
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of massage therapy for reducing pre-operative anxiety and post-operative pain among predominantly low income minority cancer patients undergoing surgical placement of a Port-a-Catheter.
The purpose of this study is to identify novel biomarkers of kidney injury in patients receiving cisplatin. This study will also collect DNA for future analysis.
Given the growing strain on the Veterans Administration resulting from increasing caseloads of cancer patients, interventions are badly needed that assist patients in managing their illness, improve quality of life and avoid acute episodes that result in urgent care use and increased mortality. Previous studies have found that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can effectively manage their own symptoms when monitored using automated telephone calls. Such technology, however, may challenge the number of veterans who lack social support and/or independence. Our goal is to develop and test a technology that not only monitors patients automatically by telephone, but also gives them self management advice and engages a friend or family member to serve as a CarePartner willing to play a limited role in identifying patient symptoms and psychosocial needs to reinforce self management and provide social support. Should such technology be successful, it could substantially improve the quality of life of veterans and their families during the stresses of chemotherapy without substantially increasing the cost of care.
The goal of this study is to determine whether having a telephone discussion with a nurse educator about making treatment decisions and participating in a clinical trial increases trial participation. The investigators hypothesize that the participants in the intervention group will be more likely to take part in a clinical trial than those in the usual care group.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of this drug (MEDI-551) in participants with advanced B-cell malignancies. Expansion to occur at maximum tolerated dose (MTD), or if not reached, at optimal biologic dose (OBD).
This is a first in man trial with a primary objective being the determination of the Maximum Tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in several regimens of MEK inhibitor MSC1936369B administered orally once a day, in subjects with malignant solid tumors to see how safe is treatment with MSC1936369B.
Non-interventional, open-label, single group, multicentric post-marketing surveillance to monitor the safety and effectiveness of TYKERB® tablets administered in Korean patients according to the prescribing information TYKERB® is a registered trademark of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies.
To assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles of AMG 479 when used in combination with bevacizumab, sorafenib, panitumumab, erlotinib, or gemcitabine in subjects with advanced solid tumors. Up to 126 subjects may be enrolled. Sorafenib and erlotinib combo cohorts are enrolling. All other combo cohorts are closed to enrollment.
