Filter by:Primary objectives: - To confirm the efficacy of intranasal fentanyl titrated to doses 50, 100 or 200 µg for treatment of breakthrough pain (BTP) in cancer patients - To establish long-term safety of treatment with intranasal fentanyl Secondary objectives: - To explore the relationship between dose of background opioid treatment and titrated fentanyl dose
A multi-center, open label, single dose Phase I pharmacokinetic (PK) characterization of weekly IV (intravenous) topotecan given at 4mg/m2. 15 patients will be evaluated.
RATIONALE: Donor mesenchymal stem cell infusion may be an effective treatment for acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor mesenchymal stem cells in treating patients with acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease after undergoing a donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate auricular acupuncture as an antiemetic treatment compared with sham acupuncture and with no acupuncture in patients receiving moderately-high to highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Acupuncture constitutes a nonpharmacological intervention for chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting (CINV). Chinese medicine holds that stimulating select points both on the body and the ear, that lie along meridians or life channels, can relieve diseases.
This is a post-approval, multi-center, single-arm study (n=950) designed to address the relationship of the LUMA device performance to patient age, patient human papillomavirus (HPV) status and colposcopist experience.
RATIONALE: Methotrexate and glucocorticoid therapy, such as prednisone or methylprednisolone, may be an effective treatment for acute graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving methotrexate together with glucocorticoids works in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute graft-versus-host disease after donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether MBP-426 (liposomal oxaliplatin suspension for injection) is safe and effective in the treatment of advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
This study is a Phase II open-label study to investigate the recommended conversion ratio (oral morphine dose to KW-2246) when switching oral morphine or oxycodone to KW-2246 in cancer patients.
Timely diagnosis of intraepithelial neoplasias (premalignant condition)is of crucial importance for clinical management of ulcerative colitis. We assessed the value of combined chromoscopy and endomicroscopy for diagnosis of intraepithelial neoplasias in a randomised controlled trial. Endomicroscopy is a new device which enables microscopy of the mucosal layer during ongoing colonoscopy. Chromoscopy means topical staining of mucosal surface to unmask areas of interest, which are subsequently examined with the endomicroscopic system.
The purpose of this Phase II study is to determine the feasibility of the dose titration and assessment protocol in the outpatient population before conducting an appropriately powered phase III study. Thus the primary purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of patients who are successfully titrated to an optimal dose of sublingual (Under the tongue) methadone and then studied at that optimal dose with successive episodes of breakthrough pain.
