Filter by:To determine whether biomarkers assessed in blood samples can be used to detect individuals at risk for developing blood clots or worsening of their underlying disease. The ultimate goal of the study is to identify key biomarkers derived from blood that are most characteristic and informative of individuals who will go on to develop a clotting complication.
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate whether fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy can improve the ability to detect the presence of premalignant lesions on the cervix. The specific aims of the study are: - To compare information obtained from fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopic measurements of the cervix with standard methods for detecting cervical pre-cancers. - To validate previously developed algorithms for discriminating between normal and pre-cancerous tissue based on spectroscopic measurements. - To evaluate the safety of spectroscopic measurement of cervical tissue.
Expand clinical literature on the use of Grid radiation with conventional external beam therapy. Vast majority of therapy is for palliative care to provide relief from pain, but has also shown a reduction in the size of tumor mass.
Patients with a history of colorectal cancer and known or suspected liver metastases who are scheduled for contrast-enhanced tomographic imaging will be included in this study. After randomization to either Primovist-enhanced MRI, extracellular contrast media (ECCM)-enhanced MRI or contrast-enhanced (CE)-CT outcomes and resource needs of the diagnostic work-up and treatment will be evaluated for each of the three imaging modalities. Main objectives of the study are to assess the proportion of patients for whom further imaging is required to come to a therapy decision and to evaluate the proportion of patients with intraoperatively modified surgical plans after Primovist-enhanced MRI as compared to ECCM-enhanced MRI and CE-CT.
The primary objectives of the study are: - To determine the safety and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-926 - To examine the pharmacokinetic parameters of IPI-926 and its characterized major metabolite(s) - To recommend a dose and schedule of IPI-926 for subsequent studies
The main objective of this trial is to provide safety data in terms of drug-related adverse events for the recommendation of the dose for further trials in the development of BI 831266. Secondary objectives are the collection of antitumour efficacy data and the determination of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of BI 831266.
RATIONALE: Cyclosporine eye drops may prevent graft-versus-host disease of the eye in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer or bone marrow failure disorder. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying how well cyclosporine eye drops work in preventing graft-versus-host disease of the eye in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer or bone marrow failure disorder.
Hypothesis : pegfilgrastim at 200 µg/kg between 12 and 18 days after previous chemotherapy 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 3 blood volume processed
Phase I, open study to assess the effect of rifampicin, a marketed drug, on how the body handles the experimental drug cediranib in patients with advanced cancer.
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of ABLC versus oral Posaconazole in the prevention of invasive fungal infections in high risk patients with hematologic malignancies or hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Primary objective is to demonstrate the low toxicity rate and low rate of invasive fungal infections associated with ABLC or Posaconazole prophylaxis. Secondary objective will be to compare the cost effectiveness of these two prophylactic regimens.
