Filter by:The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the long term use, safety and efficacy of selective Vitamin D Receptor Activator's as it is prescribed in the normal clinical setting and according to the approved Summary of Product Characteristics for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients in Turkey. The relation of the safety data to PTH (Parathyroid hormone) suppression over time will be evaluated. Also the number and incidence of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia will be recorded.
Bone is the most common site of distant breast cancer recurrence, and 65-75% of women with advanced breast cancer will develop bone metastases during the course of their disease. The most pressing problem in management of bony metastases today, is the inability to reliably identify patients at high risk for skeletal related events (SREs) (such as bone fractures, surgery/radiotherapy for pain or prevention of fractures, high calcium levels, and spinal cord compression) despite the standard use of bone medication (bisphosphonates). Using the latest innovations both in imaging and blood tests, this novel pilot project will develop a risk model for predicting bone metastases, which will be able to identify patients who would most benefit from novel treatments, such as the multikinase inhibitor Zactima and the Src inhibitor, AZD0530. Given that approximately 1/3 of patients with metastatic breast cancer and bony disease will sustain an SRE despite use of a bisphosphonate, there is an urgent unmet need in this large population to introduce effective bone protective agents.
Study CXBA is a multicenter nonrandomized, dose escalation, open-label, Phase 1 study of intravenous LY2624587 in patients with advanced or metastatic cancer for which no treatment of higher priority exists.
RATIONALE: Gathering information about experiences of episodic breathlessness in patients with advanced disease may help doctors learn more about the disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying experiences of episodic breathlessness in patients with lung cancer or other advanced disease.
The adrenal glands are one of the most common organs involved in metastatic disease. Metastases are the second most common type of adrenal mass, second only to adenomas. It is a frequent finding during autopsy with a reported rate as high as 27% in patients with known primary malignancy. Although several studies have found an increased survival in patients who undergo resection of solitary adrenal metastases the indications for adrenalectomy in cases of metastatic adrenal tumor remain controversial. Collinson et al reported an increased survival in patients with melanoma. Median survival was 16 months for patients who underwent adrenalectomy compared to 5 months for patients with documented adrenal metastases treated non surgically. The aim of this study is to compare retrospectively in case and control study, performing adrenalectomy, open or laparoscopic, versus supportive treatment for patients with solitary adrenal gland metastases. The investigators will review charts of patients between January 1994 and November 2009 who had adrenal gland metastases. The variables the inevstigators will compare are mortality, morbidity, primary tumour sites, histological cell type, age, tumour size, presence of synchronous metastases, mean time from diagnosis of primary tumor to treatment of adrenal metastases, indication for adrenalectomy, partial versus total adrenalectomy, suspected versus confirmed metastatic disease.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of single rising doses of etelcalcetide in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with cytarabine and idarubicin in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine and idarubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lenalidomide together with cytarabine and idarubicin may kill more cancer cells.
This study will evaluate zoledronic acid's anti-cancer effects and Circulating Tumor Cell (CTCs) measurements in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer without bone metastasis.
The aim of this Proof of Concept study is to determine the therapeutic potential of the L19SIP antibody, labeled with the radionuclide 131I in combination with external beam radiation, for the treatment of patients with multiple brain metastases following the promising results with this agent in previous clinical studies. The L19SIP antibody is a fully human antibody, capable of preferential localization around tumor blood vessels while sparing normal tissues. The formation of new blood vessels is a rare event in the adult (exception made for the female reproductive cycle), but is a pathological feature in most aggressive types of cancer. The presented study follows a Phase I and a subsequent Phase I/II dose finding and efficacy study with the same agent in patients with a variety of cancers where 131I-L19SIP had shown an excellent tolerability and therapeutic benefit for some patients enrolled in the study.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the combination of two drugs called RAD001 and AMG479. This study will see what effects (good and bad) RAD001 and AMG479 have on cancer. This study will also find the highest doses of RAD001 and AMG479 that can be given without causing severe side effects.
