Filter by:This single arm study will assess the efficacy of loading doses of intravenous Bondronat in reducing pain in patients with breast cancer and metastatic bone disease experiencing moderate to severe bone pain. Patients will receive an intravenous infusion of 6mg Bondronat on days 1, 2 and 3. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
This phase II trial is studying how well cediranib maleate works in treating patients with relapsed, refractory, or untreated acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of combining lapatinib plus radiation in patients with breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Depending upon the participants cancer, they may also have stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Lapatinib s a compound that may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. It is thought that lapatinib might also make cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. This drug has been used in other research studies in women with breast cancer, and information from those other research studies suggests that lapatinib may help to shrink or stabilize breast tumors both inside the brain and outside the brain.
The purpose of this study is to compare alfacalcidol and paricalcitol in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in hemodialysis patients.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of MBP8298 compared to placebo in subjects with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS)
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well internal radiation therapy works in treating patients with liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine wether RAD001 can inhibit growth of tumour cells and/or stop the formation and activity of bone degrading osteoclasts.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if high doses of radiation using proton beam can be given safely with low and acceptable side effects. We will also gather information to determine the ability of proton beam to destroy cancer cells in the liver. There are two types of external radiation treatments (proton beam and photon beam). Proton beam radiation is a very accurate kind of treatment that has been shown to affect less normal tissue than a regular radiation beam. The accuracy allows us to more safely increase the amount of radiation delivered to eliminate cancer and may potentially reduce the side effects normally experienced with standard radiation therapy.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with brain metastases caused by kidney cancer or melanoma.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving MS-275 together with GM-CSF works in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome and/or relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. MS-275 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood. Giving MS-275 together with GM-CSF may be an effective treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia
