There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Currently there is no known effective treatment for recurrent/resistant neuroblastoma. Fenretinide is an anticancer agent that may work differently than standard chemotherapy medicines. It may cause the buildup of wax-like substances in neuroblastoma cancer cells, called "ceramides" or other chemicals, called 'reactive oxygen species'. In laboratory studies it was found that if too much ceramide or reactive oxygen species build up in neuroblastoma cells, they may die. In addition, researchers are testing to see if a drug called ketoconazole, commonly used to treat fungus infections, can increase fenretinide levels in the body by interfering with the body's ability to break down fenretinide. This study is being done: 1) to allow patients with recurrent/refractory neuroblastoma patients who would otherwise not be able to access fenretinide/LXS oral powder for treatment to do so; 2) to further describe the side effects of fenretinide and ketoconazole when given by mouth for seven days every three weeks; 3) to determine if a patient's tumor gets smaller after treatment with fenretinide oral powder plus ketoconazole or fenretinide oral powder alone.
Four subjects were treated under compassionate use provisions under this study with facilitating cell therapy (FCRx)
Ibalizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G monoclonal antibody directed against a human T-cell receptor (CD4) and thus suppresses HIV replication by blocking entry of HIV into CD4+ lymphocytes. Ibalizumab has completed phase I and II clinical studies in HIV-negative and HIV-infected individuals showing safety and efficacy for suppressing HIV replication.
CliniMACs is an investigational device used to select and enrich stem cells. The device will select the stem cells with CD34+ protein. The participant will be infused with the CD34+ selected cells in the hopes that it will help the participant engraft. Engraftment is when transplanted stem cells resume production of healthy blood cells.
This is a single patient expanded access protocol to investigate the effects of a second dose of facilitating cell-enhanced hematopoietic stem cell product.
This protocol provides ongoing access to triheptanoin for patients who did complete an initial pilot protocol, and provides the opportunity to collect long-term safety data from patients treated with triheptanoin.
Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is a rare autoimmune disorder which affects the nerve-muscle junction. The major symptoms of LEMS are progressive muscle weakness. Many patients experience other symptoms like dry mouth or impotence. Congenital Myasthenia (CM) is an inherited disorder with similar affects and symptoms. 3,4-Diaminopyridine (DAP) is an experimental drug that has improved strength in some subjects with (LEMS). There are no other accepted treatments for LEMS and DAP has relatively few side effects.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate 68Ga-DOTA TATE PET/CT for staging and monitoring response to chemotherapy in patients with carcinoid, neuroendocrine tumors, medullary thyroid cancer and other cancers expressing somatostatin receptors.
To provide emergency access to OBI-1 for patients with Acquired Hemophilia and a serious bleeding episode who do not have access to an active clinical study site associated with the OBI-1-301 study.
This study will be a single subject study to evaluate the efficacy of the HER2 kinase inhibitor, neratinib, in a patient with metastatic bladder cancer harboring a HER2-GRB7 gene fusion.
