Filter by:Standard administration of capecitabine use a 14 days administration. Routine practice in several intitution leads to use a 5 out of 7 days regimen, with less toxicity. Purpose : to compare the pharmacokinetics of capecitabine, administered 5 days out of 7, as compared to the standard administration (14 days out of 21). The second end point is to compare toxicity with either regimen. Method : Randomized study with two groups : one with standard administration , the second with 5/7 days regimen
The purpose of this study is to compare hemoglobin (Hgb) response rates between epoetin alfa (PROCRIT; 40,000 Units (U) SC weekly) and darbepoetin alfa (ARANESP; 200 mcg every other week) in anemic cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to identify a well-tolerated, effective dose and schedule of AMG 531 for the treatment of Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia (CIT) in subjects with lymphoma receiving multi-cycle chemotherapy.
To study the safety and effectiveness of a granisetron patch to treat Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV)
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating patients with colorectal cancer and resectable metastases.
To determine the clinical effects of garlic in preventing and treatment of patients with chemotherapy related febrile neutropenia.These patients have a very high incidence of infections which are not routinely covered by the standard empiric therapy. Adding a non- toxic and possibly effective therapy may reduce the risk for infections, synergize the empiric antibiotic treatment and may lessen the need for broader spectrum and more severe side effects.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether timely feedback to providers on patient experiences with delayed chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) lead to differences in patient outcomes for subsequent cycles.
Randomized, open label, multicentre phase II trial followed by phase III comparing overall survival after having selected the best experimental arm.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of modafinil with regard to reducing cancer-related fatigue in cancer patients following chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Secondarily, the effect of modafinil on cognitive dysfunction in the same population will be assessed. The researchers hypothesize that administering modafinil (PROVIGIL®) to patients experiencing fatigue following completion of cancer treatment will lead to reduction in patient fatigue and prevention of or improvement in patient cognitive dysfunction.
This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of different dosages and administration schedules of an investigational agent administered over 3 days when added to standard therapy used in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients. Subjects will be asked to complete daily diaries while on study medication. In addition subjects will be required to return to the investigational site several times during the course of the study for follow up safety assessments which may include blood samples for hematology and chemistry evaluations as well as physical exams. A final assessment will be preformed on study Day 20-30 at which time the subject will complete the study.
