Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if PI-88 is effective and safe in patients who have had surgery to remove primary liver cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the multi-targeted protein kinase inhibitor XL228 (active against IGF1R, Src, FGFR, and BCR-Abl) administered as a once- or twice-weekly 1-hour intravenous infusion in subjects with advanced malignancies.
Objective: Chemotherapy regimens containing alkylating agents result in primordial follicle death and premature ovarian failure. Depending on the age and the type/dose of chemotherapy, some women may continue to menstruate. Our aim was to ascertain the impact of chemotherapy on ovarian reserve in patients who previously received chemotherapy by response to controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels. Design: Prospective study with retrospective controls Materials and Methods: 45 cancer patients underwent controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF before (30 patients, 30 IVF cycles) or after (15 patients, 30 IVF cycles) chemotherapy. Patients with basal serum FSH >13mIU/mL or E2>70pg/ml were excluded. AMH was measured on previously stored serum samples from the day of initiation of the ovarian stimulation. Results: Mean ages and baseline FSH levels of pre- and postchemotherapy IVF patients were similar (36.8±0.91 vs. 36.3±1). The mean interval from completion of chemotherapy to IVF was 8.03±1.32 years (range 1-23). Of the 30 IVF cycles in post-chemotherapy patients, 22 received alkylating agents and 8 did not. There were no significant differences between the study and control cycles regarding day-2 estradiol (E2), length of stimulation, total gonadotropin dose, and E2 on hCG day (table 2). Cycle cancellation rate was 20% and 26.67% for pre and post-chemotherapy patients, respectively. The number of oocytes retrieved and fertilized were significantly higher in pre-chemotherapy group (p<0.0001). Two clinical pregnancies were achieved in the postchemotherapy group, one ending in spontaneous abortion and the other in the delivery of a healthy baby (6.67% clinical pregnancy rate and 3.33% delivery rate per attempted cycle). All fertilized oocytes in the control group were cryopreserved at 2-pronuclei stage. Baseline AMH levels were significantly lower in post chemotherapy IVF patients compared to those who underwent IVF prior to chemotherapy (0.270 ±0.077 vs. 0.84±0.27 ng/ml, p=0.03). In the pre-chemotherapy group there was a positive correlation between the AMH levels and the number of oocytes retrieved (r=0.663, p=0.004 ). This correlation was not detected in the post chemotherapy group (r=0.205).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CG5503 (tapentadol) is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic tumor related pain compared to placebo.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cryoablation kills cancer cells by freezing them. Giving chemotherapy together with cryoablation may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving cyclophosphamide together with cryoablation works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic epithelial cancer.
The purpose of this study was to determine if alternate dosing of Epoetin alfa was effective in maintaining hemoglobin levels in patients with chemotherapy related anemia.
This study is a first time in human, Phase I, open-label study to determine recommended doses and schedules, based on maximum tolerated doses and biologically active doses, for the AKT inhibitor GSK690693.
To assess the safety and efficacy of PMI-150 (Intranasal Ketamine) as an analgesic for the treatment of breakthrough pain in cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe dose of XL844 in combination with gemcitabine, how often it should be taken, and how well people with cancer tolerate the combination of gemcitabine and XL844.
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation and safety expansion, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinectics and to investigate biomarker changes of AZD7762 administered as a single intravenous unit and in combination with irinotecan. The study is sponsored by AstraZeneca.
