Filter by:1. To compare the effectiveness of gabapentin (titrated to300mg TID days -2 to 5) with aprepitant (125mg on day 1 and 80mg on days 2 and 3) in the control of delayed nausea and vomiting associated with level 3, 4 or 5 emetogenic chemotherapy in patients who experienced delayed nausea and/or vomiting during their first cycle of chemotherapy. 2. To evaluate and compare the safety profile associated with each anti-emetic regimen. 3. To assess subject satisfaction with anti-emetic therapy.
1.1 To determine the efficacy of a combination treatment of VP-16, chlorambucil, dexamethasone, and vincristine in patients with relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies. 1.2 To determine the toxicity profile of the above regimen in this patient population. 1.3 Evaluate the effect of low dose administration of chemotherapy on angiogenesis, and correlate this with tumor responses.
To determine the safety/tolerability, and immunogenicity of an experimental vaccine given as intramuscular injections followed by electrostimulation in cancer patients.
To determine the overall response rate to liposomal 9-Nitro-20 (S)-Camptothecin (L9NC) administered by aerosolization in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (any stage). To determine toxicity profile of L9NC administered by aerosolization for 5 consecutive days per week X 8 weeks, every 10 weeks. To perform a pharmacology study of L9NC in the plasma, and the lungs after aerosolization. A specific protocol will be written for this part.

In general, to determine the sensitivity of light transport to tissue from morphological features of clinical significance. Determine how specific structural features contribute to light scattering. Investigate light scattering differences in tumorigenic and nontumorigenic cells. Develop and implement quantitative and sensitive methods for measuring morphological properties. Clinical measurements.
1.0 OBJECTIVES 1.1 To test the activity of arsenic trioxide in combination with imatinib in patients with CML with cytogenetic evidence of residual disease. 1.2 To determine the toxicity associated with this therapy.
1.1 To collect pathological tumor specimens of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in a prospective fashion for correlative studies of response to an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy regimen. 1.2 To determine a gene expression profile that predicts response to an oxaliplatin based chemotherapy regimen in this cohort of patients.
1. To determine the safety and feasibility of administering Capecitabine with the combination of Cisplatin and Irinotecan. 2. To determine the Phase II recommended dose and toxicity profile of Capecitabine with the combination of Cisplatin and Irinotecan. 3. To study the biologic effect of pyrimidine inhibition on DNA repair after camptothecin therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerable dose of temozolomide in combination with fixed dose of paclitaxel and carboplatin and to determine the overall tumor response rate with this combination and to determine the duration of response.
