Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find a recommended dose level and schedule of dosing LY3023414 that can safely be taken by participants with advanced or metastatic cancer. The study will also explore the changes to various markers in blood cells and potentially tumor cells. Finally, the study will help document any antitumor activity this drug may have. In Part A of this study, participants with advanced/metastatic cancer (including lymphoma) will receive increasing doses of LY3023414. In Part B, LY3023414 will be explored in different types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer, lymphoma and mesothelioma.
This study is designed to determine the safety and highest tolerated dose of anti-OX40 in patients with advanced cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of vemurafenib that can be given in combination with either everolimus or temsirolimus. The safety of these drug combinations will also be studied. Vemurafenib is designed to block BRAF inside the cancer cells, which is a mutation that is involved in cancer cell growth. Temsirolimus and everolimus are designed to block the growth of cancer cells, which may cause cancer cells to die.
The purpose of this trial is to study the mass balance, pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety of belinostat following IV administration in patients with a recurrent or progressive malignancy.
This study is designed to evaluate the potential effect of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics and safety of crizotinib in advanced cancer patients. Advanced cancer patients with mild, moderate or severe liver dysfunction as well as patients with normal liver function will be enrolled in this study.
The aim of this study is to compare intrathecal morphine administration: using a pump with continuous or programmable flow.
Tie-2 expressing monocytes (TEMs) are a specific type of blood cell that are present in healthy individuals and in people with cancer. These cells may play a role in the growth of blood vessels (veins/arteries), and may be particularly important in the growth of blood vessels that supply tumours. Understanding how these cells work may therefore help researchers to develop cancer treatments that starve tumors of their blood supply. This research study involves an analysis of the behaviour of blood cells in response to different drugs in a test tube. The goal is to develop tests that can then be used to monitor patients treated with drugs that target blood vessel growth.
The investigators designed a randomised multicenter clinical trial for patients with advanced cancer who are admitted to the medical oncology ward or high-care hospice. On admission all patients with advanced cancer will be asked to participate in this study. Consenting patients will be submitted to delirium observation screening according to the DOS. Subsequently DOS screening will be performed twice weekly until discharge. Each patient who's score is > 3 (DOS positive) is showing significant symptoms of delirium and will be submitted to the revised Delirium Rating Scale (DRS-R-98) to confirm diagnosis. To test validity of the DOS scale for this particular population, each DOS positive score will be randomly matched with a patient with a DOS score < 3 (DOSnegative) and this patient will also be submitted to DRS-R-98. When diagnosis of delirium is confirmed by DRS-98, patients will be randomised between treatment of delirium with olanzapine or haloperidol (usual care). Treatment in both groups will consist of identification and management of underlying aetiologies of delirium if possible and adding neuroleptic medication for symptom control. Patients who recover from their delirium episode as well as their caregivers will be asked to complete the Delirium Experience Questionnaire (DEQ) to assess recall of the delirium experience and the degree of distress related to the delirium episode.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of ON 01910.Na that can be safely given as an intravenous infusion over 24 hours once a week in a 3-week cycle to patients with advanced solid tumors.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the largest dose of ON 01910.Na (rigosertib sodium) that can be given safely as a 3-day continuous infusion once every 2 weeks (2-week cycle) in patients with advanced cancer.
