Filter by:The purposes of this study are: - To examine the engraftment rate in patients receiving in vivo T-cell-depleted G-CSF stimulated bone marrow from partially mismatched related donors. - To evaluate the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients receiving in vivo T-cell-depleted G-CSF stimulated bone marrow from partially mismatched related donors.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of neuroendocrine tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors.
N-cadherin, a protein involved in blood vessel cell binding, is increased as cancer progresses, and is on the surface of many tumor cells. ADH-1 blocks N-cadherin. This study will test the safety and effects of ADH-1 in subjects with incurable, solid tumors with a protein biomarker called N-cadherin. This study will identify the amount of ADH-1 that subjects can tolerate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response rate obtained in an heterogeneous oncologic population treated by chemotherapy, and either by Darbepoetin alfa classic treatment or by association of Darbepoetin alfa -ferric saccharose systematic supplementation, administered concomitantly with chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and MTD (maximum tolerated dose) of TTI-237 for the treatment of subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TTI-237 for the treatment of subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to find out the highest tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.
This protocol using busulfan, cyclophosphamide and melphalan has been designed as conditioning therapy for patients receiving stem cell transplantation for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The hypothesis is that this new regimen will be well tolerated and will cure the patient.
MEK is a critical member of the MAPK pathway involved in growth and survival of cancer cells. PD-325901 is a new drug designed to block this pathway and kill cancer cells. The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of PD-325901 in patients with colon cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma. PD-325901 will be given by mouth as a pill twice a day, CT scans will be done and biopsies will be taken of a tumor before and once during treatment to measure the effects of the drug. Blood samples will be taken to measure the amount of drug in the blood.
AG-024322 may work in cancer by stopping cancer cells from multiplying. AG-024322 is and intravenous drug from a new class of drugs call cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK inhibitors). This research study is the first time that AG-024322 will be given to people.
