Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of FP-1039, a new biologic treatment for cancer.
This research study is a randomized trial to evaluate a training program that is designed to improve the communication skills of clinicians. The training program focuses on care for patients with serious illnesses and their family members, and assesses effectiveness using patient and family outcomes. The long term goal of this research is to improve communication skills of doctors and nurses, thereby improving patient and family outcomes.
The goal of this research study is to learn about any differences in certain health-related preferences between patients with cancer and their families. The main preferences being studied are how decisions are made about healthcare, as well as how much information people want to know about cancer. Specifically, researchers will compare questionnaire and interview data from Hispanic-Americans living in the United States (the M. D. Anderson part of this multicenter study) with Hispanics living in Latin America (in particular, Argentina, Chile, and Guatemala).
The goal of this trial is to determine the toxicity and maximum dose of rapamycin and bevacizumab given together to subjects with advanced cancers. This study will also look at the pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of the combination.
The purpose of this study is to compare an injectable emulsion form of docetaxel to Taxotere in patients with advanced cancer.
A dose-escalation trial designed to assess the safety and tolerability of treatment with ENMD-2076 administered orally over a range of doses in patients with advanced cancer that is refractory to current treatment or for which no curative therapy exists.
This is an open-label study to determine the highest dose of MKC-1 that may be administered daily on a continuous basis for patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors.
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive a new formulation of investigational study drug ARRY-334543. Patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. The patients will be followed to see what side effects and effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. In addition, the effect of food on the new formulation will be evaluated. Approximately 24 patients from Canada will be enrolled in this study (Active, not recruiting).
Primary Objective: -To examine the association between self-rated spirituality/religiosity and coping strategies (Brief RCOPE, Brief COPE, SBI-15R) among palliative care patients. Secondary Objectives: - To examine the associations between self-rated spirituality/religiosity and physical (ESAS) and psychological symptom reports (HADS), and quality of life (FACIT-sp) among palliative care patients. - To examine the association between patient's self-reported spirituality/religiosity, and primary caregiver distress (HADS, PSQI, CQLS-C, caregiver self-assessment questionnaire, FACIT-sp). - To determine the frequency (self-rated spiritual pain scale when score is more or equal than 1 in the scale 0 to 10) and intensity of self-rated spiritual pain in the palliative care setting and to explore the association between spiritual pain, and negative religious coping (Brief RCOPE), physical (ESAS) and psychological symptoms (HADS), and primary caregiver distress (CQLS-C, caregiver self-assessment questionnaire). - To examine the association between primary caregivers' spirituality/religiosity (Appendix H, first question), religious coping strategies (Brief-RCOPE) and psychological and family/caregiver distress (HADS, PSQI, CQLS-C, caregiver self-assessment questionnaire), and caregivers' spiritual pain (Appendix F, second question).
This is a Phase 1 clinical trial examining the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of the proteasome inhibitor NPI-0052 in patients with advanced malignancies including solid tumors, lymphomas, leukemias and multiple myeloma. By inhibiting proteasomes NPI-0052 prevents the breakdown of proteins involved in signal transduction, which blocks growth and survival in cancer cells.
