Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine safety and effectiveness of experimental medication BMS-986205 when combined with Nivolumab and in combination with both Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in patients with cancers that are advanced or have spread. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of BMS-986205 when combined with Nivolumab and in combination with Nivolumab and Ipilimumab in this patient population will also be assessed.
Pain is the most common symptom (ca. 80% of patients) on German Palliative Care units and thus, pain control plays a central role in palliative care. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a complementary treatment option for patients who experience suboptimal pain control. However, the evidence for the efficacy of TENS in cancer patients is not unambiguous. The present study is a double blind, placebo-controlled cross-over trial with a short-term follow-up. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TENS for cancer pain reduction in advanced cancer patients. The secondary aim is the explorative identification of subgroups that benefit or do not benefit from TENS.
This is a dose-escalation Phase 1 study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose, and the safety profile of CDX-0158 in patients with KIT-positive advanced solid malignancies refractory to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy exists.
To test whether the Meaning-Making intervention (MMi)(Lee, 2004) plus usual care increases the sense of meaning in life in people newly diagnosed with any type of advanced cancer, compared to similar people who receive 1) usual care alone or 2) usual care plus visits from an empathic visitor, at 2 months after randomization to one of these treatments. The investigators will also evaluate whether any effect is present at 4 and 6 months post-randomization, and the MMi's impact on anxiety/depression, quality of life, existential wellbeing, and posttraumatic growth. To answer our research questions 471 newly diagnosed (<6 months) advanced cancer patients (stages III or IV) will be studied.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug known as LY3076226 in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer.
TRX-818 is a new small molecule chemical entity being developed as a potential anti-cancer therapeutic by TaiRx, Inc. TRX-818 is a potent anti-cancer agent in numerous human cancer cell lines. The objectives of this study are to determine the safety profile of TRX-818 including identification of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and determine the recommended dose and regimen(s) to initiate Phase 2.
The primary aim of this study is to identify drivers of cancer by performing comprehensive genetic, proteomic, and metabolomic characterization of patient samples as a basis for understanding the underlying cause of disease.
The purpose of this study is to develop more effective ways to help patients and their caregivers cope with cancer pain. The investigators are looking at the usefulness of a Caregiver-Guided Pain Management Training Intervention versus Pain Education.
A phase I trial to determine the recommended phase two dose of the combination of carboplatin and olaparib.
This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic profile and treatment effect of a new drug known as BGB-A317 in participants with advanced tumors.
