Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a two-dose regimen of Procrit prior to a major surgical oncology operation.
Project: Assessment of the safety of dietary supplement lactobacillus fermented extract in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy Nausea and vomiting are significant causes of nutritional depletion and result in further deterioration of the physical and mental status. Support of gastrointestinal function may alleviate nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy and will not only reduce the discomfort experienced by the patient but will allow better tolerance of the treatment. This study will assess orally administered Seigen alpha EV during chemotherapy for its safety and effects on the nutritional depletion deriving from the chemotherapy. It will also look at its effect on the immune system in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to test how vinflunine interacts with rifampin in the human body
The purpose of this study is to determine whether recurrence of local and metastatic cancer after open hysterectomy for stage 1 or 2 endometrial cancer is reduced when patients receive epidural anesthesia/analgesia combined with propofol sedation rather than sevoflurane anesthesia and opioid analgesia.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the dose of EZN-2232 that can be given to MBL deficient pediatric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of the study drug will also be studied.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Heparin or M-EDTA may prevent catheter-related infections and blockages in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection. It is not yet known whether heparin is more effective than M-EDTA in preventing catheter-related infections and blockages in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying heparin to see how well it works compared with M-EDTA in preventing catheter-related infections and blockages in patients at high risk for a catheter-related infection.
Differences in 30-year Trends in Incidence and Survival for Malignant Germ Cell Tumors in Males and Females.
This descriptive study aims to allow children and adolescents who have cancer to self-evaluate their quality of life. It is hypothesized that treatment affects quality of life in the areas of physical and social functioning. It is further hypothesized that these effects dissipate within 6 months after treatment is completed.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of carrying out a full scale randomised controlled trial to compare the effects of giving additional information versus no additional information to patients prior to their first oncology appointment. Hypothesis: Patients with some awareness of research provided prior to clinic appointment in oncology and aware of the possibility of being invited to take part in a clinical trial are more likely to agree to participate.
