There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This proposal evaluates cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibition as a means to decrease T regulatory cell activities and thus augment immune responses against lung cancer. The broad goal focuses on understanding how COX-2 expression regulates the malignant phenotype in non small cell lung cancer in an effort to foster an informed approach for the use of COX-2 inhibitors in prevention and therapy for lung cancer.
This study is enrolling patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The goal of the study is to see if one of two carefully monitored exercise programs can improve the ability of these patients to function and get about their activities.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of HuMax-CD20 as a treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.
The purpose of this trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of HuMax-CD20 as a treatment for Follicular Lymphoma (FL).
The primary objective of this study is to determine safety and activity of a novel anticancer agent in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who failed 2 or 3 prior systemic treatments.
The study will enroll approximately 60 volunteers. The vaccine is given as a drink in flavored soda water. Volunteers will either receive a 3-dose vaccination with doses spaced two weeks apart or a 4-dose vaccination with doses spaced 2 days apart depending upon their availability for follow-up. Once assigned to a vaccination schedule, volunteers will be randomly assigned to receive the meCS6 vaccine with or without the mLT adjuvant for all vaccine doses. Neither the study investigators nor the volunteers will know which group they are assigned. Volunteers will be asked to be available for clinic visits and telephone follow-ups during the study period and provide blood and stool specimens for testing.
The angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) valsartan is a drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Valsartan may also help slow down the progression of kidney disease in HIV infected people. The purpose of this study is to compare valsartan and antiretroviral therapy (ART) to ART alone in slowing kidney disease progression in people with HIV.
RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 and sargramostim may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill melanoma cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving interleukin-2 together with sargramostim works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that was previously treated with chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: FR901228 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory advanced ovarian epithelial cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, and radiation therapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells when they do not exactly match the patient's blood. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of alemtuzumab, fludarabine, and melphalan with or without cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and total-body irradiation before donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic cancer.
