Filter by:This study compares the 6 mm nitinol Zilver biliary endoprostheses and the 10 mm nitinol Zilver biliary endoprostheses to the 10 mm Wallstent in appropriate patients in need of palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and MTD (maximum tolerated dose) of TTI-237 for the treatment of subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral SKI-606 (bosutinib) administered on a daily schedule to subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors and to define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in this subject population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of TTI-237 for the treatment of subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to find out the highest tolerated dose of Depakote in combination with liposome encapsulated all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA-IV) in patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.
The traditional procedure for cancer symptom and quality of life instrument administration is a paper questionnaire completed by the patient or research participant. The use of standardized, patient report instruments as routine assessment in clinical cancer care has been promoted, but infrequently reported and the utilization rate is low. Barriers to clinical use include the personnel cost of data collection, management of written questionnaires and the clinicians' unfamiliarity with the nature of the queries and numerical scale scores. Web-based electronic technology now has been developed and tested for feasibility using touchscreen, notebook computers and the computerized assessment program, a screening assessment providing usable and easily interpreted graphic output to cancer clinicians. The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate the clinical integration of the web-based computerized assessment in a major, multi-disciplinary academic medical center and cancer center. Consecutive outpatients who are evaluated for cancer therapy in each of the 2 setting sites, the University of Washington Medical Center and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, are able to communicate in English (or through one of the many interpreters available at the institutions), and are competent to understand the study information and give informed consent will be invited to participate. Clinicians caring for the patients in the sample will be invited to participate in evaluating the organizational impact. We will compare the outcomes of conducting assessment in the usual practices and procedures to the outcomes of using the computerized assessment program: appropriateness of referrals, efficiency, and usability. The computerized assessment will be completed prior to each participant's visit with the clinician, conducted at the first clinic visit, during the 4-6th week of treatment and again at a 30 day follow up visit. Graphical output will be immediately available to clinicians. Descriptive, comparative statistics will be used to evaluate the impact of the screening and longitudinal assessments.
This is a phase III randomized study comparing induction treatments of Gemcitabine and Carboplatin versus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin, with or without consolidation therapy for patients that do not have any evidence of disease after completion of six cycles of induction therapy. Patients with disease after induction therapy will crossover to receive single agent therapy.
This trial compares two chemotherapy agents for the treatment of recurrent ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal cancer in patients that have received and are no longer responding to Platinum based treatment. The purpose of this trial is to compare progression free survival between gemcitabine and liposomal doxorubicin. Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the period from study entry until disease progression
This phase II trial is studying the antitumor activity of single agent pemetrexed 900mg/m2 IV over 10 minutes in patients with recurrent cervical cancer.
This phase II study is evaluating the activity of Pemetrexed in patients diagnosed with low risk Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor (GTT) that have failed prior treatment.
