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.
The main purpose of this protocol is to provide expanded access to the study drug (Ponatinib/AP24534) for people with imatinib-, dasatinib-, and nilotinib- resistant/intolerant Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Leukemias. The other purpose of this protocol is to monitor the safety of the study drug in people with Ph+ Leukemias that have not responded to prior treatment.
This is a phase III B, prospective, interventional, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study to provide regorafenib to subjects diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer who have failed after standard therapy and for whom no therapy alternatives exist, in the time between positive results and approval / availability on the market, and to collect safety data for regorafenib until market access. Regorafenib is an oral (i.e. taken by mouth) multi-targeted kinase inhibitor. A kinase inhibitor targets certain key proteins that are essential for the survival of the cancer cell. By specifically targeting these proteins, regorafenib may stop cancer growth. The growth of the tumor may be decreased by preventing these specific proteins from functioning. The primary endpoint of this study will be safety.
The patient has failed all other available agents and has intractable epilepsy due to Dravet Syndrome. Stiripentol is highly efficacious in Dravet Syndrome. The overall goals of therapy with Stiripentol are primarily to significantly reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.
This study is a prospective, interventional, open-label, multi-center early access program for the use of Ra-223 Cl2 in HRPC/CRPC patients diagnosed with symptomatic bone metastasis and to collect additional short and long term safety data on the product.
Protocol 620 provides PROCHYMAL(R) adult human mesenchymal cells to specifically chosen Crohn's disease patients at participating centers who typically have already demonstrated good response in another PROCHYMAL study, are not eligible for other PROCHYMAL studies, and in the view of the investigator, would not benefit significantly from other Crohn's therapies but would benefit from use of PROCHYMAL. The study is not placebo-controlled or randomized.
This is a compassionate use study to allow patients already taking triheptanoin (C7) through previous studies to continue to receive the supplement. It will also allow triheptanoin supplementation in patients with qualifying disorders if they are failing conventional therapy.
The YONDELIS (trabectedin) Single Patient Compassionate Use /Expanded Access program provides patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, who do not qualify for ongoing clinical trials with YONDELIS (trabectedin), access to this investigational treatment.
Keratoconus and pellucid marginal degenerations are genetically based ocular conditions and post surgical ectasia is an iatrogenic condition. These diseases are characterized by weakening of the front part of the eye that causes thinning and distortion. This distortion results in unevenness of the cornea and produces progressive near-sightedness and irregularity, which causes loss of vision when using eyeglasses. When eyeglasses fail to give enough vision, the the investigators use rigid contact lenses to create an artificial front eye surface. This improves visual acuity in many patients although they eventually fail either because they cannot be tolerated or the surface irregularity has become so severe that they are rejected. At this stage there is usually thinning and loss of clarity of the eye. There has been no treatment for this other than corneal transplantation, a complex surgical procedure with a significant complication rate and a delay in visual recovery. The treatment the investigators wish to perform strengthens the front of the eye by a chemical reaction using light and riboflavin. This technique has been studied over a decade and is widely used throughout the world. The FDA approved multicenter American clinical study is being analyzed in anticipation of its submission to the FDA for PreMarket approval. Because this is a progressive condition, the investigators wish to be able to offer this on a limited basis to patients in need with vision loss. Any treatment that can delay or prevent corneal transplantation is of great benefit. The investigators believe the evidence is compelling that this treatment is the sole alternative to surgical transplantation.
Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is rare neurological disorder that results in muscle weakness and limited reflex activity. More than half of LEMS cases are associated with a malignancy, usually small cell lung cancer, and tend to progress more quickly than cases not coupled with malignant cells. 3,4diaminopyridine (3,4DAP)is a drug that has been demonstrated to be effective in treating the weakness associated with LEMS as it increases strength and improves autonomic symptoms in LEMS patients. It is not currently approved by the FDA for use in the United States. The investigators plan to use 3,4DAP to treat patients with LEMS here at the Columbia University MDA/ALS Research Center.
Compassionate use of orphan drug 3,4-Diaminopyridine(DAP) in Treatment of Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS). 3,4-DAP is used to decrease the muscle weakness associated with LEMS and hopefully will decrease the need for prednisone and all other therapies that were previously required to control symptoms. How long a patient will take 3,4 DAP depends upon if he/she is seeing benefits from the medication or experiencing side effects that will prevent them from continuation in the study.
