Filter by:This is a Randomized Multicentre study Comparing GCSF Mobilized Peripheral Blood and GCSF stimulated Bone Marrow in Patients undergoing matched sibling Transplantation for Haematologic Malignancies.
The purpose of this study is to determine a tolerable dose of radiation delivered by the CyberKnife system in two groups of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of escalating doses of metformin on a backbone of vincristine, irinotecan and temozolomide (VIT) in children with recurrent and refractory solid tumors.
Primary Objective: - To assess potential impact of moderate and severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of cabazitaxel Secondary Objective: - To assess the safety of cabazitaxel in patients with various degrees of renal impairment
This was a 3-part study designed to explore the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of PLX3397 with weekly paclitaxel to establish a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), to confirm RP2D in participants with advanced non-resectable solid tumors, and to determine the efficacy of PLX3397 600 mg twice daily (BID) administered in combination with weekly paclitaxel in participants with advanced, metastatic or non-resectable, platinum-resistant or -refractory epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
This phase II trial studies donor atorvastatin treatment for the prevention of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor PBSC transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also prevent the patient's immune system reject the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor 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 atorvastatin to the donor before transplant may prevent this from happening.
Patients with cancer have a high risk of developing venous blood clots or thromboembolism (VTE). In an effort to target patients at highest risk of VTE for thromboprophylaxis (protective treatment for blood clots), numerous studies have identified serum biomarkers for risk of future VTE. There is also increasing evidence pointing to a prophylactic effect of statin therapy on the risk of developing VTE in high-risk populations including patients with advanced cancer. The purpose of this research study is to find out whether treatment with rosuvastatin (the study drug) reduces the risk of VTE in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. This study is specifically investigating the impact of rosuvastatin therapy on serum biomarkers (D-dimer and others) that indicate a risk for VTE, as well as safety and tolerance of rosuvastatin therapy in this population. This is a phase II randomized crossover study with two 3-4 week treatment periods during which all enrolled patients will receive 20 mg of rosuvastatin once a day by mouth or a matching placebo tablet. Approximately two tablespoons of blood will be collected for biomarker analysis at the beginning and end of each treatment period. After the first treatment period there will be a 3-5 week break where subjects will undergo a washout. Following this washout period every subject will "crossover" or begin taking the alternative therapy so everyone enrolled will receive the study drug either during the first or the second treatment period. Biomarker levels will be analyzed in both treatment periods and compared to baseline, with every patient acting as their own control.
This study is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation phase 1 study of intravenous (IV) LY2495655 in participants with advanced cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HGF serum concentration might be raised in vivo by administering nadroparin given with prophylactic purpose to gynecological patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine a dose of LY2784544 that may be safely administered to participants with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
