Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether Sativex® and GW-2000-02 are effective in the management of subjects with intractable cancer-related pain.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of MK-2206 administered orally to participants with advanced solid tumors. The preliminary efficacy of MK-2206 will also be investigated.
Many types of chemotherapy may cause nerve damage as a side effect. This neurotoxicity can manifest as peripheral sensory neuropathy (characterized by numbness, tingling, or pain). The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of the combination of vitamin B6 and B12 in preventing chemotherapy induced neuropathy.
At the time of hysterectomy for benign disease, the overall health benefits of preserving ovarian function in a large population of women have not been established.
The study design is a randomized study to directly compare the performance and the outcome of syringe and needle procedures with a standard syringe or the new reciprocating procedure device (RDP), which is a type of safety syringe. Over a 5 year period, 820 subjects who require and assent to a syringe and needle procedure for their usual and customary care will be randomized to either a conventional syringe or the RPD with one arm with and without ultrasound guidance. The RPD is designed to be safer, faster, less painful, and more effective for the patient, and the mechanics of the RPD are intended to provide the physician with better needle control, resulting in less needle trauma to patient tissues, and thus, reduced bleeding and pain for the patient. This clinical trial will address whether the RPD is indeed superior to the conventional syringe for shots, injections, and needle procedures, and whether it is a safer, less painful syringe.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced HER2+ solid malignancies or HER2+ metastatic breast cancer will receive investigational study drug ARRY-380. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, patients with advanced HER2+ solid malignancies, who have already received at least one previous standard therapy, will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of this study, patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer, who have already received at least one previous standard therapy, will receive the best dose of study drug determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 20 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Active, not recruiting).
Treatment of patients with cancer types known to express the HER-2 and/or CEA tumor antigens.
In the oncology practice, The National Union of the Centres of Fight Against the Cancer recently published the Standards, Options and Recommendations for the coverage of the pains provoked during the invasive gestures of a short duration realized at patients affected by cancer. These support the use of the Kalinox ® 170 bar as therapeutic alternative for the preparation of the painful procedures of a short duration such as spinal taps or osseous at the adult.The objective of this study thus is to clarify the appropriate efficiency and the tolerance of the equimolar mixture protoxide of nitrogen / oxygen during invasive procedures realized in adult oncology with regard to the analgesic reference methods and to the effect placebo leads by the accompaniment of the patient during the procedure.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fentanyl 1-day application (JNS020QD) transdermal patch (patch containing a drug that is put on the skin so the drug can enter the body through the skin) and to assess the non-inferiority of fentanyl 1-day application transdermal patch to fentanyl 3-day application (JNS005) transdermal patch in participants with cancer pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fentanyl one-day transdermal patch (patch containing a drug that is put on the skin so the drug will enter the body through the skin) in participants switched from morphine preparations, oral oxycodone preparations, fentanyl citrate injection or fentanyl patch for cancer pain.
