Filter by:The study objective is to evaluate the differences, in terms of first occurrence of a skeletal event, in patients with breast cancer and symptomatic bone metastases, when pamidronate is administered during 2 years, or when it is administered during 6 months, followed by a six month rest period, and again a 6 month treatment period.
Patients who receive radiation therapy often have fatigue or a decrease in feeling well causing a "wasting" away. For patients with advanced disease of lung cancer, prostate cancer, or cancer that has spread to the bone, it is hoped that this drug may decrease this. If patients feel better during treatments they can complete the therapy without any breaks in treatment. For treatment to be most effective, it should be given in the amount needed, on a particular schedule.
The purpose of this study is to test a novel dendritic cell (DC) vaccine in patients with Stage IV melanoma.
This is an open label, randomized, controlled, multicenter phase II study comparing 5-FU/FA + oxaliplatin (FOLFOX-4) + cetuximab versus 5-FU/FA + oxaliplatin as first-line treatment for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing mCRC.
This phase II trial is designed to investigate the effectiveness of Tarceva (OSI-774) combined with capecitabine in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.
This study examines surgery versus radiosurgery (highly focussed radiation) for the treatment of cancer which has spread to one spot in the brain (solitary brain "metastasis"). For these two treatment options, it will compare patients' survival times, quality of life, control rate of the brain metastases and side effects. It uses the most rigorous scientific method available called "randomisation" which minimises biases that exist with other types of studies. It will involve 30 - 40 patients.
This trial is designed to investigate the safety, tolerability and the effectiveness when OSI-774 (tarceva) is combined with oxaliplatin and capecitabine in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Hectorol® (doxercalciferol) capsules in treating patients with Stage 3 or Stage 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) with secondary hyperparathyroidism who have vitamin D levels in the normal range. Previous studies with doxercalciferol were conducted in patients who had low levels of vitamin D.
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy of preoperative radiation therapy and capecitabine in locally advanced rectal cancer.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate if motexafin gadolinium with whole brain radiation therapy followed by a stereotactic radiosurgery boost is a safe and effective treatment.
