NCT ID: NCT00022191 Completed - Bladder Cancer Clinical Trials

Cisplatin Plus Gemcitabine With or Without Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Stage IV Urinary Tract Cancer

Start date: May 2001
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective for urinary tract cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of cisplatin plus gemcitabine with or without paclitaxel in treating patients who have stage IV urinary tract cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00021255 Completed - Breast Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Breast Cancer

Start date: April 2001
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary objective: - Compare disease-free survival in women with HER2-neu-expressing node-positive or high-risk node-negative operable breast cancer treated with adjuvant doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel with or without trastuzumab (Herceptin) vs trastuzumab, docetaxel, and carboplatin. Secondary objective: - Compare overall survival of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the toxic effects (including cardiac) of these regimens in these patients. - Compare quality of life of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy of these regimens in these patients. - For substudy: Compare peripheral levels of shed HER2-neu extracellular domain with fluorescence in situ hybridization in predicting outcome in patients treated with these regimens.

NCT ID: NCT00016211 Completed - Lung Cancer Clinical Trials

Radiation Therapy to Prevent Brain Metastases in Patients With Previously Treated Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Start date: February 2001
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Radiation therapy to the brain may be effective in preventing brain metastases. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is effective following chemotherapy in preventing brain metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of radiation therapy in preventing brain metastases in patients who have received chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00014274 Completed - Bladder Cancer Clinical Trials

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Transitional Cell Cancer of the Urothelium

Start date: January 2001
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is most effective for transitional cell cancer of the urothelium. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to compare different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have transitional cell cancer of the urothelium.

NCT ID: NCT00013897 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

A Comparison of BMS-232632 With Efavirenz, Each in Combination With Zidovudine-Lamivudine

Start date: February 2001
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of treatment with BMS-232632 to that of efavirenz (EFV) when both are used with zidovudine (ZDV) and lamivudine (3TC).

NCT ID: NCT00012389 Completed - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Irinotecan With or Without Oxaliplatin in Treating Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Start date: December 2000
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if irinotecan is more effective with or without oxaliplatin in treating metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of irinotecan with or without oxaliplatin in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00005887 Completed - Metastatic Cancer Clinical Trials

Radiation Therapy With or Without RSR13 in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases

Start date: February 2000
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as RSR13 may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy to the brain with or without RSR13 in treating patients who have brain metastases.

NCT ID: NCT00004179 Completed - Lymphoma Clinical Trials

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Rituximab in Treating Patients With Relapsed Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Start date: May 1999
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without rituximab for relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy and rituximab to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

NCT ID: NCT00003938 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

Liposomal Amphotericin B in Treating Granulocytopenia and Persistent Unexplained Fever in Cancer Patients

Start date: June 1999
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Liposomal amphotericin B may be effective in controlling fever and granulocytopenia. It is not yet known which regimen of liposomal amphotericin B is more effective in treating cancer patients who have these conditions. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of liposomal amphotericin B in treating granulocytopenia and fever in cancer patients.

NCT ID: NCT00003888 Completed - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

Combination Chemotherapy Plus Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

Start date: April 1999
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one drug and combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy is more effective for advanced head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have advanced head and neck cancer.
