Filter by:This randomized pilot clinical trial studies tailored patient educational intervention or standard education in assessing perceived risk for falls in hospitalized oncology patients. A tailored patient educational intervention may be more beneficial than standard education in preventing patients from falling by increasing the patient's knowledge of the risk factors for falling routinely and then providing education in deficit areas. Making patients more aware of the risk factors for falling may lead to greater engagement in preventative activities.
The purpose of this study is to support the qualification of a replacement manufacturing site for DOXIL/CAELYX.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tenofovir for different treatment duration in preventing HBV relapse in patients with malignancies after receiving chemotherapy and off-treatment of chemotherapy.
This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and navitoclax and how well they work in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic). Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Navitoclax inhibits members of the BCL2 family of proteins that are believed to play key roles in promoting the survival of cancer cells. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, and Bcl-w, proteins needed for cancer cell survival. Giving trametinib and navitoclax may help stop the growth of tumor cells.
This clinical trial studies the safety and drug distribution of the radioactive drug, 2'-deoxy-2'-[18F]fluoro-5-methyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (fluorine F 18 d-FMAU [18F-FMAU]), for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with advanced cancers. A PET scan is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the glucose is taken up. Because cancer cells often take up more glucose than normal cells, the pictures can be used to find cancer cells in the body. PET/CT using the drug fluorine F 18 d-FMAU, may help find cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
To assess the safety and tolerability at increasing dose levels of PF-06647263 in patients with advanced solid tumors in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose and select the recommended Phase 2 dose.
The purpose of this study isto assess the efficacy of daily 10 sessions of rTMS over primary motor cortex in patients suffering from malignant neuropathic pain. Thirty four patients were divided randomly into 2 groups equally using closed envelops to undergo real (20 Hz, 10 second, 10 trains with inter-train interval 30 second with total pulses 2000, intensity 80% of motor threshold over hand area of motor cortex) or sham rTMS (same parameters but with coil elevated and angled away from the head)every day for ten consecutive days (5 days/week). Patients were evaluated using a verbal descriptor scale (VDS), visual analog scale (VAS), Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and signs (LANSS) and Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAM-D) at baseline, after 1st, 5th, 10thtreatment session, and then 15 days and 1 month after the end of treatment. ic pain.
Dose escalation part: to determine the highest dose of alpelisib administered on a daily basis when given in combination with daily everolimus or in combination with daily everolimus and exemestane. Dose expansion part: To describe safety and tolerability of the alpelisib and everolimus or alpelisib, everolimus and exemestane combinations.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Magnetic Resonance guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound ablative therapy is safe and feasible for children, adolescents, and young adults with refractory or relapsed solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib at different dose levels in combination with decitabine and the effectiveness of ruxolitinib in combination with decitabine in patients with accelerated or blast phase Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN), which is a group of diseases of the bone marrow in which excess cells are produced. Ruxolitinib is a drug that is approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with advanced forms of myelofibrosis. It inhibits the Jak proteins that are often abnormal in MPN. A recent clinical study showed that ruxolitinib treatment could put some patients with this disease into remission. Decitabine is a chemotherapy, approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), that has been used to treat acute leukemia. It works in some patients, but most patients with accelerated and blastic MPN do not respond to treatment. Ruxolitinib and decitabine will be combined in this study to find out what dose of the two medicines are safe together. Using Ruxolitinib in combination with Decitabine is experimental. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad it has on the patient and the disease.
