The purpose of this study is to determine if PI-88 is effective and safe in patients who have had surgery to remove primary liver cancer.
Palliative care in cancer aims at alleviating the suffering of patients. A previous study in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer showed that adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) infusions had a favourable effect on fatigue, appetite, body weight, muscle strength, functional status, quality of life, and survival. Based on these promising results, the present study was designed 1. To evaluate whether the beneficial effects of ATP administration observed in patients with advanced lung cancer would also be present in pre-terminal cancer patients of different tumour types, and 2. To test the feasibility of application of ATP infusions in a home care setting.
Study to access the safety, levels of drug in the blood and tumor effects of sorafenib dosed daily combined with Cyclophosphamide and Doxorubicin in cancer patients
We hypothesize that adding beneficial high fiber foods to the diet will result in better overall dietary quality (measured by the Alternate Healthy Eating Index), which has been shown to be associated with cancer, than either reducing saturated fat, or a combination of high fiber and low saturated fat.
This is an open-label, two-arm, multicenter feasibility study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pazopanib in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in female subjects with newly diagnosed advanced gynaecological tumors. Subjects will have received no prior therapy for their disease. A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 46 subjects will be enrolled. Dose schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, six subjects will be evaluated in treatment cohorts, which will be expanded to 20 subjects if initial toxicity is acceptable. Overall safety and tolerability of the regimen will be based on dose limiting toxicities, adverse events, and percentage of subjects that complete 6 courses of study treatment. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) responses.
The purpose of this research study is to find the answers to the following questions: 1. What are the highest doses of CBP501 and cisplatin that can be safely administered as consecutive 2-hours and 1-hour infusions every 21 days? 2. What are the side effects of the combination of CBP501 and cisplatin when given as an infusion every 21 days? 3. What amount of CBP501 and cisplatin are found in the blood at certain times after it is given? 4. Are there any substances in your blood or tumor that can tell us about tumor sensitivity to CBP501 and cisplatin? 5. Will CBP501 given with cisplatin help to treat your cancer?
One year prospective analysis of drug utilization and prescription point prevalence of medications in a pediatric tertiary care university medical center. Off-label use of medications in the study population will be also registered.
Evaluation of physician responses to BICS-Clinical Information 3-screen alerts that informs the clinician that his/her patient may be eligible for thromboprophylaxis.
The purpose of this study is to estimate, with pre-specified precision, the difference in local-regional control (LRC) rate at 2 years in subjects receiving chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or panitumumab plus radiotherapy (PRT) as first line treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma for the head and neck (SCCHN). A formal hypothesis will not be tested in this trial; however, the treatment arm difference in LRC rates at 2 years will be estimated.
