Filter by:RATIONALE: A stress-management program may improve quality of life and reduce anxiety and depression in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well stress management therapy works in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
This clinical trial studies the use of sodium fluorine-18 (18F-NaF) plus fluorine-18 (18F) fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/ whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) to detect skeletal metastases in patients with stage III-IV breast cancer or stage II-IV prostate cancer.
In a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, the effects of two different dosages of LMWH (5000 anti-Xa U od sc and 10 000 anti-Xa U od sc daily) on markers of hemostatic system and thrombin generation will be investigated in non-surgical cancer patients will be investigated.
Cancer cells may spread from the primary site to the vertebrae resulting in their deformity. The standard treatment for this case is removal of the cancer deposits in the vertebra and filling the induced cavity with a cement like substance. The investigators are studying the effects (good or bad) of adding samarium (a radioactive substance) to the cement that is injected into the induced cavity.
RATIONALE: CT-322 may stop the growth of solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by stopping blood flow to the cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of CT-322 in treating patients with advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
This is a phase II study designed to study the effectiveness of combined radiotherapy and erlotinib in the postoperative setting for patients with cutaneous SCC that are at high risk for recurrence. Participants enrolled in the study will be evaluated by a head and neck surgeon, and a radiation oncologist. Whenever possible, a preoperative biopsy will be performed after participant enrollment in the study for histological confirmation and for molecular correlates. Participants enrolled prior to surgical resection will begin erlotinib at 150 mg by mouth (PO) every day (QD) (14 tablets) to be taken 14 days prior to surgical resection. Following planned surgical resection, the participant will begin Erlotinib therapy and radiotherapy at the same time and within 4-8 weeks of the surgical resection.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infects most of the world population. This study is to understand if chemotherapy will increase the chance of reactivating CMV. The results may help us in determining when treatment is needed and perhaps Why is it needed.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether IHL-305 (irinotecan liposome injection) is safe and effective in the treatment of advanced solid tumors.
Phase I dose escalation study of Triciribine Phosphate Monohydrate (TCN-PM) in patients with metastatic cancer whose tumors must be shown to be p-Akt positive. Study patients will be recruited from a Moffitt Cancer Center companion study (MCC-14474) "Immunohistochemical study of phosphorylated Akt in solid malignancies." Each treatment cycle will consist of four weeks with TCN-PM being administered weekly (days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days). Labs, vital signs (BP, HR, Resp Rate, Temp), and hematology and serum chemistry profile are to be performed weekly and/or prior to each treatment dose. Body Surface Area (BSA) should be calculated approximately every 8 weeks. Imaging studies (CT/MRI of chest, abdomen, and pelvis) and tumor response assessments will be performed every eight weeks or more frequently if indicated. Unless unacceptable toxicity occurs, the duration of treatment will be based on tumor reassessment.
The purpose of the study is to test how vinflunine interacts with ixabepilone in the human body.
