Filter by:RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with temozolomide in treating patients with brain tumors or other solid tumors that have not responded to treatment.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Tamoxifen may help carboplatin work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving carboplatin and topotecan together with tamoxifen and to see how well it works in treating patients with central nervous system metastases or recurrent brain or spinal cord tumors.
The purpose of this study is to develop a functional capacity screening tool (FCST) that estimates at baseline the functional capacity of anemic subjects with nonmyeloid malignancies receiving multicycle chemotherapy. Sites will be randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 different subject-reported functional capacity questionnaires. The questionnaires will be used to develop the FCST. Subjects will participate in the Modified Harvard Step Test (MHST) at required timepoints and receive darbepoetin alfa once every 2 weeks for 15 weeks. All subjects will return for a follow-up visit 2 weeks after the last dose of darbepoetin alfa.
First-Line Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy in Metastatic Cancer of the Colon or Rectum
Primary objective: - To determine the safety of adback T- or Natural Killer (NK) cells in patients with lymphoid malignancies receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation with Campath-IH containing conditioning regimen. Secondary objective: - To determine the efficacy (disease-free-survival) of this strategy.
This pilot trial studies different high-dose chemotherapy regimens with or without total-body irradiation (TBI) to compare how well they work when given before autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in treating patients with hematologic cancer or solid tumors. Giving high-dose chemotherapy with or without TBI before ASCT stops the growth of cancer cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient's blood or bone marrow and stored. More chemotherapy may be given to prepare for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy.
This is a parallel human intervention trial to determine to what extent a dietary intervention of broccoli or peas can change the expression (switching on or off) of genes in prostate tissue in men diagnosed with high-grade Prostate Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN).
The purpose of this study is to determine the tissue kinetics of ertapenem in colonic tissue from three hours up to six hours (25% of dosing interval) after administration of ertapenem.
Organ Preservation: Weekly Carboplatin & Taxol w/concurrent RT for locally advanced laryngeal & Hypopharyngeal CA
This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of R4733 (RO4929097), administered orally to patients with refractory metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors. The study will assess three different dosing schedules; in one schedule R4733 will be administered 3days on/ 4 days off, in another on days 1-7 of each 21 day cycle, and in a third schedule continuously daily. The starting dose for each dosing regimen will be escalated in subsequent groups of patients after a satisfactory assessment of the safety and tolerability of the previous dose. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or dose-limiting toxicity, and the target sample size is 100-200 individuals.
