Filter by:RATIONALE: Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and/or smoldering multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well green tea extract works in treating patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and/or smoldering multiple myeloma.
The purpose of this study is to determine the equivalence or not of diagnosis ability of oesophagal videocapsul versus oeso-gastro-duodenal fiber endoscopy in the screening of oesophagal varix.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that clazosentan, administered as a continuous intravenous infusion at either 5 mg/h or 15 mg/h until Day 14 post aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), reduces the incidence of cerebral vasospasm-related morbidity and all-cause mortality within 6 weeks post-aSAH treated by endovascular coiling. The primary endpoint of the study is the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm-related morbidity, and mortality of all-causes within 6 weeks post-aSAH, defined by at least one of the following: 1. Death (all causes). 2. New cerebral infarct(s) due to cerebral vasospasm as either the primary or relevant contributing cause, or not adjudicated to be entirely due to causes other than vasospasm. 3. Delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND) due to cerebral vasospasm as either the primary or relevant contributing cause, or not adjudicated to be entirely due to causes other than vasospasm. 4. Administration of a valid rescue therapy in the presence of confirmed cerebral vasospasm on angiography (DSA or CTA). An independent Critical Events Committee (CEC) will adjudicate whether or not patients meet the primary endpoint and its individual morbidity components.
Clofarabine is a drug approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for treating children (age 1-21) with leukemia. This research study will use clofarabine with two other cancer fighting drugs. Clofarabine will be used together with etoposide (VePesid®, VP-16) and cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan®).
Study to assess the efficacy of intramyocardial bone marrow derived mononuclear cell therapy concerning left ventricular ejection fraction as measured by echocardiography.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cediranib maleate when given together with whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving cediranib maleate together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of obatoclax mesylate when given together with vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexrazoxane hydrochloride in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, lymphoma, or leukemia. Obatoclax mesylate may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth and causing the cells to self-destruct. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine sulfate, doxorubicin hydrochloride, and dexrazoxane hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving obatoclax mesylate together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
RATIONALE: Methadone hydrochloride may reduce chronic neuropathic pain in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of methadone hydrochloride as first-line therapy in treating patients with chronic neuropathic cancer pain.
The investigators propose a prospective blinded randomized control trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy and safety of a simple method of continuous infusion of a local anesthetic, ropivacaine, via a surgical wound to control pain after ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stenosis correction in children during the first 48 hrs after surgery. The investigators hypothesize that this technique will provide greater pain relief post-operatively and reduce the need for systemic opioid use along with a reduction in associated side effects of such analgesics.
The purpose of this study is to compare progression-free survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer treated with ZD4054 in combination with carboplatin+paclitaxel versus placebo in combination with carboplatin+paclitaxel.
