Filter by:The objective of this study is to determine a safe dose of LY2228820 that may be given to participants with advanced cancer. Part A of this study will consist of dose escalation, and Part B will consist of dose confirmation.
Patients in a known palliative setting and with localized symptoms due to tumor growth will be evaluated for their quality of life before and after a surgical intervention (primary endpoint). Medical outcome in terms of length of stay in hospital, length of stay on a intensive care unit, complications, reinterventions will be recorded (secondary endpoints). The investigators will also observe patients with conservative treatment.
This 9-week study aimed to determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nabiximols (Sativex®) as an adjunctive treatment, compared with placebo in relieving uncontrolled persistent chronic pain in participants with advanced cancer. Eligible participants were not required to stop any of their current treatments or medications.
The purpose of this study is to: 1) identify the palliative care needs of Emergency Department patients with advanced cancer, and determine if these needs can be rapidly assessed in the ED; 2) determine whether early palliative care consultation improves survival, quality of life and other burdensome symptoms and decreases utilization as compared to usual care.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination of pazopanib and vorinostat that can be given to patients with advanced cancer. The safety of the drug combination will also be studied.
This was a six-month open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the safety of long-term nabiximols (Sativex®) therapy when used as an adjunctive treatment in participants with advanced cancer. The study provided continued availability of nabiximols to participants who completed a preceding Phase 3 study and new (de novo) participants.
This is an open-label study being conducted to determine the metabolism and physiological disposition of radiolabeled LY2603618 after a single dose in patients with advanced and/or metastatic solid tumors. After a minimum 7-day washout period following the carbon-14-labeled LY2603618 ([^14C]LY2603618) dose, patients will be allowed to continue to receive continued access to LY2603618 in combination with pemetrexed or gemcitabine as outpatients.
This is a two part study of the drug MK-8669 (ridaforolimus) given with MK-2206 or MK-0752. In Part A of the study, the preliminary maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the drug combinations will be found by giving sequentially higher doses of the study drugs. An expansion cohort of participants may be enrolled to confirm the MTD. New cohorts at other dose levels may be enrolled, depending on the rate of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the planned cohorts. In Part B, an assessment of the efficacy of the drug combinations against selected advanced cancers will be made so that a recommended dose to be used in Phase 2 studies (RPTD) can be found. As of 19 July 2012 the MK-0752 arms of the study were fully enrolled and closed to further recruitment. As of 30 November 2012, no additional participants with prostate cancer will be enrolled.
The objective of this study is to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose range of LY2875358 that may be safely administered to participants with advanced cancer. In Part A and Part A2 of this study, escalating doses of LY2875358 as monotherapy and in combination with erlotinib will be evaluated for safety and tolerability, respectively. Part B is a dose-confirmation segment for LY2875358 therapy in 5 different types of cancer: nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with bone metastases, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or uveal melanoma with liver metastases, and for LY2875358 in combination with trametinib in participants with uveal melanoma with liver metastases.
The purpose of this study is to determine a recommended Phase 2 dose and dosing regimen of LY2090314 in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin in patients with advanced/metastatic cancer. Part A of this study will consist of dose escalation of the study regimen, and Part B will consist of an expanded cohort to confirm the dose provided from Part A.
