Filter by:A Phase I study to assess the safety and tolerability of AZD2281 in combination with Cisplatin in patients with advanced Solid Tumours. This is an open label-dose finding; to establish the maximum tolerated dose of AZD2281 combined with Cisplatin in patients with advanced solid tumours. Approximately 50 (max 60) patients from 2 countries will be enrolled
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether C-myb Antisense (AS) Oligonucleotides (ODNs)is a possible treatment modality for advanced hematologic malignancies.
This study of MK-8776 (SCH 900776) will evaluate its safety and tolerability when given as monotherapy or in combination with gemcitabine to participants with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma. Participants will be enrolled in cohorts that will receive sequentially higher doses of MK-8776 in combination with standard doses of gemcitabine The recommended combination doses for a Phase 2 trial (combination-RP2D) will be determined based on safety and biological activity. Up to 10 to 15 additional participants may be studied at the combination-RP2D.
The primary purpose of this study is to provide treatment to patients who have participated on a prior protocol investigating Tanespimycin (KOS-953,17-AAG)
The purpose of this study is to test whether perifosine- a drug that inhibits the protein AKT, and has had some success in the treatment of adult cancers- is safe and effective in treating cancer. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on the patient and the cancer. The investigators are testing different dose schedules of perifosine and the patient will be asked to partake in one of the dose schedules.
This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities (Part 1 of study) and the activity (Part 2 of study) of RO5126766 in patients with metastatic or advanced solid tumors. In the first part of the study, groups of patients will by sequentially enrolled to receive ascending oral doses of RO5126766 daily for 28 days. The starting dose of 0.1mg will be escalated in subsequent groups of patients after a successful assessment of the safety and tolerability of the previous dose. In Part 2 of the study, patients with selected tumor types will be randomized to receive either the optimal biological dose or the maximum tolerated dose of RO5126766 daily. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
This research trial studies neuropsychological (learning, remembering or thinking) and behavioral outcomes in children and adolescents with cancer by collecting information over time from a series of tests.
Unrelated Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation After Nonmyeloablative Conditioning for Younger Patients with Hematologic Malignancies.
RATIONALE: Gathering information over time about patients' sense of being a burden on their caregiver, and caregivers' sense of burden on themselves, may help doctors learn more about the desire to die in patients with late-stage cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying perceptions of burden in patients with late-stage cancer and their caregivers.
To learn whether or not an Interferon defect in cell signaling, recently discovered in immune cells from melanoma patients as well as breast cancer patients, is common to all cancers.
