Filter by:The researchers aim to investigate the outcome (overall survival) of mothers who are diagnosed and/or treated for cancer during pregnancy. Furthermore they want to test the hypothesis that children who were exposed to cancer or cancer treatment (cytotoxic drugs, radiation therapy, targeted therapy,...) develop normally (neurologic and cardiologic examination).
This is a Phase 1b clinical trial to assess the safety and tolerability of vaccination with EC90 (KLH-FITC) and GPI-0100 (adjuvant) followed by treatment with EC17 (Folate-FITC) in combination with low-dose cytokines (IL-2 and IFN-alpha) in patients with metastatic or refractory cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose of the drug (BMS-690514) that can be safely given to patients with advanced cancer.
The goal of this phase I-II clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of XRP9881 and capecitabine that can be given in combination in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in patients who have been previously treated by taxanes and anthracyclines. The safety and effectiveness of this combination will also be studied. Patients participating in the study will be asked to give additional blood samples to look at the level of study drugs in the blood.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the dose limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of E7389 in patients with solid tumors. The secondary objectives are to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety, estimated recommended dose, and anti-tumor effects (in evaluable cases) of E7389 in patients with solid tumors.
The first purpose of this study is to determine how the body absorbs, metabolizes, and eliminates a single dose of BMS-275183 (labeled with radioactive carbon). Secondly, to measure the levels of BMS-275183 in your blood, study the safety of the drug, and to see what effects it has on your cancer.
Palliative care is believed to improve care of patients with life-limiting illnesses. This study evaluated the impact of a multi-center randomized trial of a palliative care team intervention on the quality and cost of care of hospitalized patients. Study subjects were randomized to intervention or usual care. At study end, patients receiving the palliative care intervention reported greater patient satisfaction with their care. Intervention patients also had significantly fewer ICU admissions and lower total costs for care 6 months past their hospitalization. Intervention patients completed more advance directives and had longer hospice stays.
Differences in 30-year Trends in Incidence and Survival for Malignant Germ Cell Tumors in Males and Females.
1.11 Retrospectively evaluate for a correlation between tumor response and changes in systolic/diastolic/mean arterial blood pressures in patients treated with bevacizumab, with or without chemotherapy, with a wide variety of metastatic malignancies. 1.12 Retrospectively evaluate for differences in tumor response between patients with and without pre-existing hypertension treated with bevacizumab plus or minus chemotherapy with a wide variety of metastatic malignancies. 1.21 Determine if there were differences in bevacizumab induced hypertension rates between different tumor types. 1.22 Evaluate for differences in bevacizumab induced hypertension rates between males and females. 1.23 Examine if there were associations between a particular chemotherapeutic agent(s), that may have had an increased propensity of inducing hypertension when combined with bevacizumab.
1. To identify reasons for low patient recruitment numbers to clinical trials in a cancer research center setting (and a community setting) in order to attempt to increase accrual rates. 2. To review the screening sheet for women who considered participating in the study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene (STAR) for the prevention of breast cancer in high risk women through the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque from 1999 through 2004
