Filter by:The Objectives are to administer the Family Evaluation of Hospice Care (FEHC) questionnaire and The Texas Revised Inventory of Grief (TRIG) to caregivers previously enrolled into the parent grant and conduct supplemental analyses to: 1. examine cross-ethnic differences in the caregivers' quality of hospice care assessments. 2. investigate the association between parenteral hydration status of the patient and the quality of care assessments provided by the caregivers after death. 3. examine the association between levels of grief (as measured by the TRIG) and the quality of hospice care assessments provided by the caregiver.
This is a study of CS-7017 designed to allow participants who completed participation in a clinical study of CS-7017 without experiencing disease progression or unacceptable toxicity to continue treatment with study drug. Participants who have not progressed while receiving CS-7017 will continue to benefit from longer administration of the agent.
The goal of this research study is to collect information to plan how to design a computer program for cancer patients receiving palliative care, their caregivers, and doctors and nurses who work in palliative care. Researchers want to learn how to make this program practical for use by future patients, caregivers, doctors, and nurses.
This is a 2-phase study during which patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-334543 and gemcitabine. The study has 2 parts. In the first part of the study, Phase 1, patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors will receive increasing doses of study drug in combination with gemcitabine in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Patients will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 24 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of the study, Phase 2, patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer will receive the best dose of study drug, in combination with gemcitabine, determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 42 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Withdrawn).
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-334543 and docetaxel (with prophylactic growth factor support). Patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in combination with docetaxel in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Patients will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 30 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.
The purpose of this study is to find out if remeron, also called mirtazapine, can help you prevent weight loss while on treatment for your cancer. Remeron is currently used to treat depression and has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use to treat weight loss.
To determine safety and maximum tolerated dose of brivanib alaninate when administered in combination with capecitabine, doxorubicin, ixabepilone, docetaxel and paclitaxel chemotherapy to subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors
Family usually had a lot of burden to tell the truth to patients. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of education materials and family conference for advanced cancer patients and family.
Phase 1/2 dose escalation study to investigate the combination of RDEA119 and sorafenib in advanced cancer patients.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of Torisel (temsirolimus), Hycamtin (topotecan hydrochloride), and Velcade (bortezomib) that can be given, in combination, to patients with advanced cancer that has spread or is unable to be surgically removed. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
