Filter by:RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as tumor necrosis factor, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Studying tumor necrosis factor in samples of tumor tissue and healthy tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how tumor necrosis factor works in tumor tissue and healthy tissue. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying tumor necrosis factor in patients undergoing surgery for primary cancer or metastatic cancer .
This study is designed to monitor the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with zoledronic acid by assessing the incidence of, renal impairment, osteonecrosis of the jaw(ONJ), overall safety and skeletal related events (SREs) beyond 12 months treatment
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of zoledronic acid administered intravenously every 3-4 weeks in patients with bone metastases from either breast cancer or prostate cancer.
Primary objectives: - To determine the time to progression in subjects with breast cancer metastatic to bone only treated with 153Sm-EDTMP and Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT). Secondary objectives: - To determine the overall survival at one year. - To determine the efficacy of 153Sm-EDTMP at 6 months. - To assess pain in subjects treated with 153Sm-EDTMP. - To determine the safety of 153Sm-EDTMP.
This study will look at different dose levels and regimens of everolimus combined with weekly trastuzumab and vinorelbine therapy in patients with HER-2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Studying samples of cerebrospinal fluid and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how pemetrexed disodium works in the body and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with leptomeningeal metastases.
This is a multi-center, open-label, randomized, phase 2, two-arm clinical trial to be conducted in the United States. Approximately 210 eligible KRAS wild-type expressing metastatic colorectal cancer subjects who have failed first-line oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (with at least 4 doses of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy) with at least 4 doses of bevacizumab (failure is defined as toxicity due to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy or progression of disease on first-line treatment) will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either a once-every-two-weeks (Q2W) FOLFIRI regimen plus panitumumab 6 mg/kg or a Q2W FOLFIRI regimen plus bevacizumab (either 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg, depending on physician choice and institutional standard of care).
The primary objective is to estimate the effect of the human homolog of the Kirsten rat sarcoma-2 virus oncogene (KRAS) mutation status (wild type versus mutant) from tumor tissue on efficacy endpoints in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) receiving second-line chemotherapy with panitumumab after failing first-line treatment.
RATIONALE: Lithium carbonate may be an effective treatment for intestinal graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying lithium carbonate in treating patients with acute intestinal graft-versus-host-disease after donor stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to determine if WBRT combined with SRS resulted in improvements in survival, brain tumor control, functional preservation rate, and frequency of neurologic death.
