Filter by:RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant (UCBT) helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from an unrelated donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies.
The goal of this study is to collect comparative data on safety and efficacy of MR Guided Focused Ultrasound and External Beam Radiation for treatment of metastatic bone tumors or multiple myeloma.
The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, phase 2 study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this treatment using this ExAblate conformal system in the treatment of pain resulting from metastatic bone tumors Up to Fifty (50) patients will be recruited in this feasibility study. The treated patients will be followed for 3-Months post their last treatment, patients with the standard contraindications to MRI examination, such as implanted metal devices (pacemakers, etc.), will be excluded.
The aim of this post-marketing observational study is to obtain further data on the long term use, safety and efficacy of Zemplar 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 Greece.
This is an open label, dose escalation study using a 3 + 3 design to determine if INCB028060 (study drug) is safe, well-tolerated and effective in patients with advanced malignancies. Patients will be enrolled and treated in cohorts of three and each observed a minimum of 28 days before the next group is enrolled and may begin to receive study drug. Doses will be escalated unless a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed in one of three subjects.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of high dose proton pump inhibitor combined with chemotherapy in metastatic breast cancer.
Subjects who completed ZA-003 were eligible to receive an additional year of treatment in this extension study.
In this research study, we are looking at performing a repeat biopsy of patients' tumors, even though they have already been diagnosed with cancer. The tumor tissue obtained from the biopsy will be studied to see what it looks like at the molecular (genetic) level. By conducting this study, we hope to learn more about how cancers work, why cancers respond to certain treatments, and how they become resistant to certain treatments. We also hope to demonstrate that biopsies like this can be performed safely in large numbers of patients. The research done on the tumor samples may help us identify which patients in the future are most likely to respond to new cancer therapies.
The primary goal of this research study is to determine a safe dose for the drug oxaliplatin when delivered by isolated hepatic perfusion. The second goal of this research study is to determine if isolated hepatic perfusion with oxaliplatin can improve the efficacy of standard hepatic arterial infusional (HAI) therapy with floxuridine (FUDR)/leucovorin.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 5-Fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdCyd) when given together with tetrahydrouridine (THU) in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). FdCyd may inhibit cancer cell growth by increasing the production in cells of compounds that suppress growth or by otherwise killing cells. Although FdCyd is stable as a drug solution, it is rapidly inactivated by an enzyme present in people. THU is included in the treatment to inhibit the enzyme, prolonging the time FdCyd remains in the body
