Filter by:Recent advances in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-SCT) have led to reduce intensity preparative regimens that are non-myeloablative and reduce the toxicities associated with the transplant. Consequently non-relapse mortality has been reduced, including in elderly patients with comorbidities. However, despite this benefit in terms of toxicity, excessive reduction of the intensity preparative regimens may favor relapse of the initial illness. Thus, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease and opportunistic fungal and viral infections are always serious complications. The aim of our study is to check if a new modality of reduced intensity preparative regimen combining total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and thymoglobulin (ATG), would limit the toxicity of treatment and reduce the incidence of acute GVHD after allogeneic transplantation while preserving the antitumor benefit.
Subjects undergoing surgery on the small or large bowel will be randomized to one of 2 groups, a normal fluid amount group and a reduced fluid amount group to evaluate the impact of this change on recovery after surgery.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalation, dose-expansion study for the treatment of patients with advanced cancers. Eligible patients with DLBCL or other advanced lymphomas will be enrolled into the dose-expansion cohort.
This open-label, multicenter, Phase Ib dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of oral dosing of GDC-0973 and GDC-0068 administered in combination in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Cohorts of patients will receive multiple ascending doses of GDC-0973 and GDC-0068. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and the biological effects of the chimeric anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody Chi Lob 7/4, given intravenously, weekly for 4 weeks in the treatment of patients with advanced malignancies refractory to conventional anti-cancer treatment.
This randomized trial studies how well music therapy and parents' education work in improving communication, emotional distress, and recovery in adolescents/young adult patients undergoing treatment for high-risk cancer and their parents. Making a music therapy video may improve communication, emotional distress, and recovery in younger patients undergoing treatment for cancer. It is not yet known whether music therapy and counseling for parents is more effective than information handouts for parents in improving communication and emotional distress in patients undergoing treatment for cancer.
This is a phase I, open-label, multiple dose, dose escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of Aneustat™ (OMN54), a novel therapy, administered orally in patients with advanced cancer and lymphomas.
This phase II trial studies how trametinib effects tumor cells in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed by surgery. Trametinib may shrink the tumor by blocking an enzyme pathway needed for cell growth.
This randomized clinical trial studies healing touch or guided imagery in treating pain, fatigue, nausea, and anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy. Healing touch and guided imagery may help treat complications caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether healing touch or guided imagery is more effective in treating pain, fatigue, nausea, and anxiety in patients undergoing chemotherapy
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer. PURPOSE: This research trial studies gene expression in samples from younger patients with neuroblastoma.
