Filter by:Clinical study to determine safety, tolerability, to measure how the drug is metabolized by the body and to determine the maximum tolerated dose of BAY79-4620 given every 2 weeks to patients with advanced solid tumors
Primary Objectives: - To determine the excretion balance and systemic exposure of radioactivity after intravenous infusion of [14C]-AVE8062 to humans - To determine the pharmacokinetics of AVE8062 and RPR258063 and their contribution to overall exposure - To collect samples to determine the metabolic pathways of AVE8062 and identify the chemical structures of the main metabolites Secondary Objective: - To assess the safety profile of the drug
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of veliparib (ABT-888)and to establish the recommended Phase 2 dose of veliparib (ABT-888) when administered in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of 3 x 10, 3 x 12 or 3 x 14 g/m² Treosulfan resp., combined with 5 x 30 mg/m² fludarabine prior to allogeneic, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation of patients with hematological malignancies, but non-eligible to standard conditioning treatment.
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research question(s): - To see how the body absorbs, processes, and gets rid of cetuximab when the drug is taken in combination with carboplatin [pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis] - To see if any drug interactions occur between cetuximab and carboplatin.
This is a Phase I, open label, Dose Escalation study of oral administration of single agent MLN0128 in participants with Advanced Malignancies followed by an Expansion Phase in participants with renal cell carcinoma, endometrial cancer or urothelial cancer who have measurable disease.
To compare the effects of conventional cytology testing with concommitant HPV-cytology testing for the detection of high grade cervical lesions in primary cervical cancer screening in Hong Kong Hypotheses: 1. There is a significant difference in the number of CIN2+ cases detected between the cytology testing group and the cytology-HPV co-testing group at baseline. 2. Significantly more CIN2+ cases will be detected at the second round of screening among participants with normal cytology result in the control arm than those with normal cytology and negative HPV results in the intervention arm.
Pancreatic cysts are common, and some pancreas cysts have malignant potential. Usual treatment of these cysts is either observation or surgical removal of part or all of the pancreas. Minimally invasive treatment via endoscopy has been described, using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided ethanol injections. Such studies exclude cysts that communicate with the main pancreatic duct, to avoid burning the main pancreatic duct with ethanol. In this study, pancreas cysts communicating with the main pancreas duct are treated with ethanol via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and/or EUS.
After resection of diseased segments of the large intestine, the continuity of the intestine has to be restored. This can be done by suturing or with so called stapling devices. In addition since 2 centuries compression rings are used to connect the intestine after resection. The NITICAR27 device is a novel compression anastomosis device. The investigators want to prove if this novel device can be compared to commonly used stapling devices concerning anastomotic leakage, bleeding and stenosis.
Study objectives To evaluate the safety of the echinocandin anidulafungin for prophylaxis or treatment of invasive fungal infections (IFI) in hematologic patients. Study design, Study conduct period Prospective, open label, phase II, one arm, single centre study October 2009 - September 2010 Study population Twenty adult patients (≥ 18 years) with a hematologic disorder and an indication for antifungal prophylaxis or therapy, but a relative contraindication for azoles or polyenes due to hepatic and renal dysfunction respectively Methods and Main Out-come Variables Main Outcome Parameter Safety: Adverse events and changes of important laboratory parameters with clinical impact will be reported. Secondary Outcome Parameter Efficacy: In therapeutically use the outcome will be categorized into success or failure. For patients receiving anidulafungin as prophylaxis the number and rate of breakthrough infections will be documented. Risk assessment Treatment related adverse effects as reported in the approved physician prescribing information (usually mild and with an incidence of < 5%). Treatment failure due to resistant pathogens. Expected benefit from this study IFI is a major cause of death among hematological patients, especially those undergoing high dose chemotherapy. It is conceivable that anidulafungin is a new treatment option for patients in whom azoles or polyenes are relatively contraindicated.
