Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AZD4877 on a weekly schedule in Japanese patients with advanced solid malignancies
To determine the safety, tolerability and recommended Phase 2 dose of ARQ 197 when administered in combination with erlotinib to patients with advanced solid tumors
The purpose of this study is to test the combination of radiation treatment and an anti-angiogenic drug called sorafenib (or BAY 43-9006 or Nexavar) to determine the effects of this combination on cancers but also on side effects of radiation treatment. This study will also determine the highest safe dose of sorafenib that can be given with radiation treatment.
This is a Phase 1, open label, dose escalation study of ARQ 197 in patients with advanced/recurrent solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ARQ 197.
This study is being done to see if the Nova Creatinine Meter can give a correct measure of creatinine (a blood test used to measure kidney function) when the blood is taken from a capillary (smallest type of blood vessels). The Nova Creatinine Meter is a hand held device that can be used in a clinic to measure creatinine in about 50 seconds. Current laboratory creatinine testing can take up to an hour. Since chemotherapy patients need to have their creatinine measured prior to treatment, this meter could make testing easier and faster.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is any difference of the pharmacokinetics of two taxane formulations, paclitaxel injection and liposomal paclitaxel in Chinese cancer patients with solid tumors.
The hypothesis is that postmenopausal women who have received chemotherapy have a greater bone loss than the same age controls. The aim of this study is to obtain baseline bone mineral density (BMD) data on women with breast and gynecological cancers who have received chemotherapy. By comparing the Z scores of postmenopausal women who have received chemotherapy with age matched controls this hypothesis can be evaluated. Another goal of the study is to compare the T-score of a Heel Bone Density Scan to the T-score of the DXA Scan to see if there is a good correlation between peripheral and DXA scores.
The purpose of this trial is to investigate if the success rate of punction the vena subclavia (99% in retrospective studies) will be 15% higher than the success rate of venae sectio (80% in retro and prospective studies) for implantation of a totally implantable access ports.
In this study two cord blood collections will be used to increase the number of cord blood cells you will receive on transplant day. We call this a "double unit" cord blood transplant. A previous study suggests double unit cord blood transplant may have a better result. The main purpose of this study is to find out how good a cord blood transplant using two cord blood collections from two different babies is at curing you of your cancer. Double unit cord blood transplants are now being studied as a way to increase the number of cord blood cells given to bigger children and adult patients. Based on studies that have already been done double unit cord blood transplant appears to be safer than if only one cord blood unit is used. However, double unit cord blood transplant is a fairly new form of treatment.
To determine if the institutionalisation of a regular systematic approach to the assessment of pain in inpatient cancer units using the Edinburgh Pain Assessment Tool (EPAT©) leads to better control of pain than that achieved by usual care.
