Filter by:Patients with Non-small cell lung cancer that had metastatic lesions after been treated with definitive surgery or chemoradiotherapy are being asked to participate in this study. 1. To observe immunity-mediated tumor response outside the radiation field (abscopal effect) after chemoradiotherapy of a metastatic site in metastatic Non-small cell lung cancer patients. 2. To induce the efficacy (effectiveness) of a new combination of therapy, chemoradiotherapy and thymalfasin for heavily pretreated, metastatic Non-small cell lung cancer patients; 3. To explore the role of PET/CT scanning to assess tumor response/abscopal effect. This study will help find out what abscopal effects (good or bad) the combination of radiotherapy and thymalfasin has on metastatic Non-small cell lung cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride with asparaginase work in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, prednisone, vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Asparaginase breaks down the amino acid asparagine and may block the growth of tumor cells that need asparagine to grow. Giving combination chemotherapy with asparaginase may work better in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor and docetaxel and to see how well they work when given together in treating patients with squamous cell lung cancer that has come back or spread to other places in the body. Selinexor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving selinexor together with docetaxel may work better in treating squamous cell lung cancer.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ruxolitinib phosphate when given together with tacrolimus and sirolimus in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease during reduced intensity donor hematopoietic cell transplant in patients with myelofibrosis. Sometimes transplanted cells from a donor can attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient called graft-versus-host disease. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also reduce graft-versus-host disease by reducing inflammation and immune modulation. Giving ruxolitinib phosphate together with tacrolimus and sirolimus after transplant may prevent graft-versus-host disease.
This is a Phase I clinical trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the polo-like kinase-1 inhibitor volasertib which can be safely combined with idarubicin plus cytarabine induction chemotherapy for previously untreated patients with acute myeloid leukemia. (AML).
This study part will be conducted in an open-label, non-randomized, Phase I conventional 3+3 dose-escalating design to define the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and MTD of BAY 1000394 (Roniciclib) given in a 3 days on / 4 days off schedule in combination with docetaxel in subjects with second- or third-line NSCLC.
A cardiotocograph (CTG) can be used in labour to assess the heartbeat and well-being of a baby. An abnormal CTG may be a sign that a baby has low oxygen levels (hypoxia) and is becoming distressed. In this situation a blood test can be taken from the scalp of the baby. A high lactate level in the blood indicates that urgent delivery is required to prevent long-term harm to the newborn. SensPoint is a new medical device that measures lactate. It has several potential benefits over the current method of measuring lactate in that it is a portable hand-held device (allowing for use in the delivery room), requires a much smaller volume of blood and produces results more quickly than the current method of measuring lactate. Before a new device is adopted into clinical practice, it is important that it is first confirmed that it is accurate and reliable for its intended use. This study will evaluate the ability of the SensPoint device to accurately and reliably detect lactate in fetal and umbilical cord blood by comparing its performance to the reference device currently in use.
The current study is designed to evaluate the effect of device guided breathing (DGB) on sleeplessness. Healthy subjects with mild to moderate sleeplessness that wish to improve their sleep quality will be included in this study. The subjects will receive a belt type breathing sensor, download the app on their smartphone, and will be required to perform DGB at their home setting for 2 weeks after a baseline period.
This pilot clinical trial studies the impact of radical cystectomy (surgery) on the expulsion (release) of circulating tumor cells into the blood stream in patients with bladder cancer. Significant surgery such as radical cystectomy may cause the expulsion of tumor cells. Studying the release of tumor cells into the circulation may help doctors understand the impact that radical cystectomy has on tumor metastasis and/or tumor recurrence.
Assessment of a new gastrointestinal symptom questionnaire in comparison to 2 well established and validated questionnaires that do not fully fit the requirements of an investigator concerned about gastrointestinal side effects in a patient without primary gastrointestinal disease.
