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.
Background: Mithramycin is a new cancer drug. In another study, people with chest cancer took the drug 6 hours a day for 7 straight days. Many of them had liver damage as a side effect. It was discovered that only people with certain genes got this side effect. Researchers want to test mithramycin in people who do not have those certain genes. Objectives: To find the highest safe dose of mithramycin that can be given to people with chest cancer who have certain genes over 24 hours instead of spread out over a longer period of time. To see if mithramycin given as a 24-hour infusion shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have chest cancer that is not shrinking with known therapies, and whose genes will limit the chance of liver damage from mithramycin Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Lung and heart function tests - X-rays or scans of their tumor - Liver ultrasound - Tumor biopsy - Participants will be admitted to the hospital overnight. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in the arm or chest. They will get mithramycin through the catheter over about 24 hours. - If they do not have bad side effects or their cancer does not worsen, they can repeat the treatment every 14 days. - Participants will have multiple visits for each treatment cycle. These include repeats of certain screening tests. - After stopping treatment, participants will have weekly visits until they recover from any side effects.
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and cancers that originate from the gastrointestinal tract can be resistant to standard chemotherapy and often metastasize to the liver. Lanreotide (Somatuline® Depot) Injection and Yttrium-90 microspheres (SIR-Spheres®) each have FDA approval to treat patients with metastatic NETs. The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment for patients with NETs can be optimized by combining these therapies.
To Assess the Activity and Safety of SMT C1100 (Ezutromid) in Paediatric Male Participants with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
A prospective, open-label, and multi-centered feasibility registry.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel digital image enhancement (DIE) technology in reducing the radiation exposure to both the patient and surgical staff during standard intramedullary nail placement for treatment of hip fractures. Secondarily, to evaluate whether the image quality and reproducibility of desired images can be improved with use of the DIE technology. Finally, to evaluate whether DIE technology reduces total operative time.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well management of a tobacco treatment intervention works in reducing surgical complications in patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer who smoke cigarettes. Management of a tobacco treatment intervention compares varenicline (a drug that reduces the craving and withdrawal symptoms that occur with abstinence from nicotine) and behavioral interventions (consisting of a brief clinician-delivered intervention and tobacco quitline [tobacco cessation service available through a toll-free telephone number] follow-up) with placebo (a pill with no active medication) along with similar behavioral interventions. It is not yet known whether management of a tobacco treatment intervention is more effective in reducing surgical complications than placebo.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether PF-04958242 is safe and effective in the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia subjects
This is a Phase 2 study to evaluate the combination of denintuzumab mafodotin in combination with RCHOP or RCHP compared with RCHOP alone as front-line therapy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma Grade 3b.
Primary Objectives: - To assess the efficacy of lademirsen (SAR339375) in reducing the decline in renal function. - To assess the safety and tolerability of lademirsen (SAR339375) in participants with Alport syndrome. Secondary Objectives: - To assess plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of the parent compound and its active major metabolite. - To assess the potential formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) following administration of lademirsen (SAR339375). - To assess the pharmacodynamic effect of lademirsen (SAR339375) on miR-21 and on changes in renal injury and function biomarkers.
The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of different doses of tropifexor (LJN452) with respect to safety, tolerability, and on markers of liver inflammation in patients with NASH
