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.
The main purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of selinexor (KPT-330) and irinotecan can help people with esophageal or stomach cancer. Researchers also want to find out if the combination of selinexor (KPT-330) and irinotecan is safe and tolerable.
This will be a multi-center, proof of concept phase 0 study to assess the suppression of p-AKT in Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) and meningiomas by AR-42 in adult patients undergoing tumor resection. AR-42 is a small molecule which crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) in rodents, but the investigators are not certain yet if it will penetrate human VS. Meningiomas are outside the BBB, but seem to be unusually resistant to all current medical treatments. The primary endpoint of the bioactivity of suppression of p-AKT by AR-42 was selected as drug activity seems more informative than bioavailability. Our preclinical data and others have shown dose dependent suppression of p-AKT by AR-42 in both VS and meningiomas.
Background: - Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) causes immune system problems. Treatment is usually a bone marrow transplant from a fully matched donor. Researchers want to try using partially matched donors for patients who do not have a fully matched donor available. The researchers will also use the drug cyclophosphamide to try to improve the outcomes when using a partially matched donor. Objective: - To learn the effectiveness of using cyclophosphamide with a transplant from a partially matched donor in treating CGD. Eligibility: - Recipients: age 2-65 with CGD with an ongoing infection that has not been cured by standard treatment and no fully matched donor available in an appropriate timeframe. Design: - Recipients will: - be admitted to the hospital 2 weeks before transplant. - be screened with blood and urine tests, breathing and heart health tests, X-rays, and/or magnetic resonance imaging. They may have a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. - meet with a social worker and dentist. - get chemotherapy, radiation, and other medicines. - get an intravenous (IV) catheter in their chest. - have the transplant. - get more medicines and standard supportive care. - have blood drawn frequently. - have to stay in the Washington, D.C. area for 3 months post-transplant. - be followed closely for the first 6 months, and then less frequently for at least 5 years.
Non-myeloablative regimens (as the investigators use herein) are designed to maximally suppress the immune system without destruction of the bone marrow stem cell compartment. When using a non-myeloablative regimen recovery occurs without infusion of stem cells and the stem cells are autologous. While not necessary for recovery, stem cell infusion may shorten the interval of neutropenia and attendant complications. Thus in reality there is no transplant only an autologous supportive blood product. Based on our encouraging results of non-myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, for patients with multiple sclerosis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, the investigators will investigate the role of non-myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with SPS who require assistance to ambulate.
The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug mocetinostat can slow the progression of cancer in people who have a mutation in CREBBP or EP300 in the genetic makeup of their cancer. The potential side effects of mocetinostat will also be studied.
Safety and Efficacy Study in pediatric subjects aged 9 to 17 years of age with suboptimal LV EBD on non-contrast 2D echocardiography. Imaging modalities that are used throughout the study in pediatric subjects represented those utilized in routine clinical practice in adults.
This is a single-blinded randomized control trial trying to compare the effectiveness of diagnosis between two techniques employed in tissue sampling for subepithelial tumors (SETs) of the gastrointestinal tract. Over 2 years, patients having SET will be randomized to either get the EUS-guided core needle biopsy (EUS-CNB) or EUS-guided single-incision with needle knife (SINK) technique. This is of grave importance because the diagnosis of the myriad types of SETs is made histologically requiring a good sample.
To create a local registry for ECMO patients.
This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RUT058-60 (Group A) as an intra-cavity lavage compared to sterile saline (Group B) in adult subjects undergoing abdominal surgery.
This is a randomized pilot study to investigate the ability of a phosphodiesterase-V inhibitor (vardenafil) to increase the concentration of systemically delivered chemotherapy, carboplatin, in patients with recurrent malignant gliomas or metastatic brain cancer. This study will also determine the toxicity and tolerability of a phosphodiesterase-V inhibitor (vardenafil) in combination with intravenous carboplatin for patients with recurrent malignant gliomas or metastatic brain cancer.
