RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lapatinib together with epirubicin may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of epirubicin when given together with lapatinib in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
This open-label, single arm study will investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tocilizumab monotherapy, or combination therapy with non-biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), in patients with severe active RA. Patients will receive tocilizumab 8mg/kg iv as a 60 minute infusion every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is >500 individuals.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether survival can be prolonged in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer who receive dasatinib with docetaxel and prednisone.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the experimental drug GS-9190 when administered for 24 or 48 weeks with peginterferon alfa 2a and ribavirin for the treatment of genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C infection.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate how the LCS Complete mobile-bearing total knee system and surgical instrumentation performs.
The primary objective of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that the Duofix Tibial component results in a reduction of immediate postoperative pain compared to the LCS Porocoat version.
Osteoarthritis, a common disorder increasing in prevalence with advancing age, is particularly debilitating when the knees are affected. This study examined the value of hydrotherapy (exercise in water) and continuous short-wave diathermy (an electrical deep heat treatment) for the relief of osteoarthritic symptoms.
This study is investigating how patients with severe stable state COPD perceive the variability of their symptoms throughout the day, the week and the year; the impact of these variations on their daily activities or sleep quality and how they deal with their treatments. For this purpose patients will be asked to answer a questionnaire over the phone
The study is aimed to confirm that letrozole + PD 0332991 is safe and tolerable and to assess the effect of the combination on advanced breast cancer
This study is being conducted to provide a direct comparison of the efficacy, safety and tolerability for pazopanib and sunitinib (SUTENT)
