Filter by:The study is intended to investigate whether the improved initial detection and resection of bladder cancer lesions in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with Hexvix (Cysview) fluorescence cystoscopy/TURB will lead to a longer-term reduction in recurrences compared to standard white light cystoscopy/TURB.
The investigators propose to study novel targets of rituximab in podocytes, with a particular focus on recurrent focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The proposed study has strong clinical implications, since it may extend the approved indications for rituximab treatment to recurrent FSGS as well as to other proteinuric diseases. Furthermore, it will offer new insights into the role of sphyngomyelin related enzymes in podocyte function in health and disease, thus allowing the identification of novel targets for antiproteinuric drug development. Finally, the proposed study offers the opportunity to identify a correlation between the patient's specific clinical outcome and the experimental results obtained after exposing podocytes to patient sera in the presence or absence of rituximab. Therefore, it may lead to the development of an assay for the pre-transplant identification of patients at high-risk for recurrent disease and, among them, may allow the identification of those patients that will respond to rituximab.
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether participants exhibit a measurable immune response after multiple administrations of HSPPC-96 (heat shock protein-peptide complex 96), as assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT) assay.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects this new drug foretinib has on this type of breast cancer, called "triple negative" breast cancer because the cancer tissue is estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptor negative.
This is an open-label, pilot study in patients with a diagnosis of recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma who have undergone standard cytoreductive surgery following by adjuvant chemotherapy. It is expected that this first surgery was optimal - as defined as no residual tumor > or = 1 centimeter. Patient has clinical evidence of a first recurrence. The patient undergoes surgery and isotonic normal saline (perfusate) heated and administered into the abdomen, followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy infusion (HIPC) administering carboplatin (chemotherapy). Six weeks after surgery patients will receive adjuvant chemotherapy with Paclitaxel and Carboplatin for 6 cycles.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well paclitaxel with or without cixutumumab works in treating patients with esophageal cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Cixutumumab may kill cancer cells by blocking the action of a protein needed for cancer cell growth. Giving paclitaxel with or without cixutumumab may kill more tumor cells.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Lichtenstein's hernioplasty using Infinit® PTFE Mesh, and to compare it with the traditional Lichtenstein procedure performed with polypropylene mesh.
This phase I clinical trial is studies the side effects and best dose of giving veliparib together with temozolomide in treating patients with acute leukemia. Veliparib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving veliparib together with temozolomide may kill more cancer cells.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Niuliva (Hepatitis B virus immune globulin) in the prophylaxis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection in patients submitted to liver transplantation due to HBV-induced liver disease by reaching and maintaining certain hepatitis B antibody (HBsAg) levels considered as protective during the first six and twelve months post-transplantation.
The overall objective of this pilot study is to collect immunological and safety data following administration of vaccinations with HLA-A2. This data will be used to decide whether a larger study of clinical efficacy is warranted.
