Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to find out what the maximum tolerated dose is for an experimental drug called AZD6918 based on the side effects experienced by patients with advanced solid malignancies that receive daily AZD6918 alone. It is possible that AZD6918 will be administered twice daily. Then maximum tolerated doses in combination with either gemcitabine or pemetrexed will also be investigated.
RATIONALE: Methadone, morphine, or oxycodone may help relieve pain caused by cancer. It is not yet known whether methadone is more effective than morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying methadone to see how well it works compared with morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer.
IPI-493 is a potent inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and is orally bioavailable via a novel formulation.
To assess the use of the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) in transoral surgeries in patients with benign and malignant lesions of the oral cavity and laryngopharynx.
The study will examine the effect of HAL vs placebo photodynamic therapy of low-grade cervical precancerous lesions (dysplasia) in women.
PF-04217903 may work in cancer by blocking the cell growth, migration and invasion of tumor cells. PF-04217903 is a new member in a class of drugs called c-Met/hepatocyte growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This research study is the first time PF-04217903 will be given to patients. PF-04217903 is taken by mouth daily.
Formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) is important for tumor growth in advanced cancer. It is known that tumors make a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF stimulates the formation of blood vessels that supply the tumor with nutrients and oxygen. PTC299 is an oral investigational new drug that has been shown to decrease production of VEGF in animal models of human cancer. In these animal models, oral PTC299 administration decreases VEGF levels in the tumor and in the bloodstream, decreases blood vessel numbers in the tumor, and significantly slows or halts tumor growth. When given in combination with the chemotherapeutic drug, docetaxel, PTC299 increases the antitumor activity over use of docetaxel alone. Safety studies in research animals indicate good tolerability at doses and drug levels that are higher than those planned for the clinical studies. Results from Phase 1a studies in healthy volunteers indicate that PTC299 achieves levels of PTC299 in the bloodstream that are known to be active in animal models of human cancer. This Phase 1b study is designed to test the hypothesis that PTC299 will be tolerable and will show evidence of anti-VEGF and antitumor activity when administered orally to participants with cancer.
Hypothesis: pegfilgrastim at 300 µg/kg in hematological steady state provides an efficient stem cell mobilization in children with malignancies Design: phase 2 study. Judgment criterion: percentage of children achieving at least 5x10e6 CD34 cells with a standard apheresis (less than 2 blood volume processed)
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Pegfilgrastim in the mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), defined as cell yield ≥ 3 x 10e6 CD34+/kg and to assess the costs related to Pegfilgrastim use in the mobilization of autologous PBSCs. Also to determine the side effects of Pegfilgrastim in the mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells.
Relationship between HPV infection and cervical cancer is well established. Among the HPV types identified to date, 15 are classified as high risk HPV (HR-HPV). Detection of HR-HPV has been proposed to optimize cervical cancer screening.
