Filter by:Primary Objectives: 1. To determine whether aerosolized ribavirin is effective when given at an intermittent dose over 3 hours every 8 hours for therapy of RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URI) and whether it can prevent progression to pneumonia. 2. To determine the effect of this regimen on persistence of viral shedding.
This is a Phase 1, open-labeled, non-randomized, multi-center, competitive enrollment and dose-escalation study of ALT-801, the study drug. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of ALT-801 in previously treated patients with progressive metastatic malignancies. ALT-801, a recombinant fusion protein with a interleukin-2 (IL-2) component, has a targeting mechanism that recognizes tumor cells with a specific tumor marker.
This is an unblinded, dose escalation study of patupilone in combination with RAD001 in subjects with advanced cancer to find the maximum tolerated dose of each drug. The purpose of this study is to see what doses of RAD001 and patupilone are safe to use when the two drugs are used at the same time. Other goals in this study are to learn about the effect of RAD 001 and patupilone on tumor growth; to find out what amount of RAD001 is present in the blood when it is combined with patupilone; to learn about proteins in the blood that may predict or show an effect of RAD001 or patupilone and to learn if any changes are seen in the tumor with the type of test called a PET scan.Subjects will be assigned to a dosing group. The dose of patupilone and RAD001 a subject gets depends on when they enter onto this study. The initial subjects in the study will take the lowest doses of RAD001 and patupilone. At least 3 subjects will be treated in each dosing group starting with the smallest dose. If there are few or easy to handle side effects, the next group of at least 3 people to enter in the study will get the next higher dose. This continues until the highest dose of the study drug is found that does not cause serious or hard to treat side effects. Both the subjects and the study doctor will know which dose is assigned. In this study, RAD001 will be given as tablets to take with water. RAD001 will be taken for either 7, 14, or 21 days of each 21 day cycle depending on which dosing group is assigned. If taking RAD 001 and patupilone on the same day, then RAD 001 will be taken with water however prior to receiving patupilone.Patupilone will be given by an intravenous injection (through a vein) for 20 minutes on Days 1 or day 6 of the 21-day cycle. The patupilone dose will be based on height and weight. Blood tests (approximately 1-3 teaspoons) will be done every week. Every six weeks a CT scan or MRI will be done to assess the tumor size. Subjects will continue to receive RAD001 and patupilone as long as the tumor is stable or shrinking, and not having too many side effects from treatment.
Primary Objective: 1. To evaluate side effects and maximum tolerated dose of azacitidine and valproic acid in patients with advanced cancer. Secondary Objectives: 1. To perform a preliminary assessment of the histone acetylation and DNA methylation effects of this combination on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). 2. To assess the clinical anti-tumor activity (objective response including complete and partial responses) of this combination in patients with advanced cancer, in a descriptive fashion.
This study will comprise 2 parts, a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase. The 2 phases are part of a single study and described by this single protocol. Patients entered into the dose escalation phase will not be entered into the expansion phase. All subjects must be suitable for treatment with either carboplatin and/or paclitaxel.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early recurrence after curative resection of ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma can be explained by either dissemination of cancer cells during intraoperative tumour manipulation, post-operative systemic immune suppression, alteration of biological properties of circulating cancer cells or a combination of these.
The objective of this trial is to examine the cephalic phase insulin response (CPIR) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) release as indicators of the cephalic phase occurrence and magnitude to palatable food stimulus (chocolate cake) in oncology patients before and after chemotherapy treatment as compared to healthy controls . This may enlighten our understanding of the etiology of taste dysfunction and anorexia during chemotherapy treatments.
Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the proportion of patients who experience partial or complete recollection of symptoms of delirium and the level of distress associated with this recall. 2. To determine caregiver's level of distress associated with the patient's episode of delirium.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of HspE7 and Poly-ICLC when given together
This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose, and assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of R1530 administered orally to patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. R1530 will be administered daily for 14 days at the starting dose; this dose will be escalated in subsequent cohorts of patients, after a satisfactory assessment of safety and tolerability of the previous dose, until the maximum tolerated dose is reached. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
