Filter by:This clinical trial studies spiritual care in improving quality of life of patients, caregivers, and hospital staff. Spiritual care may help understand the impact cancer and its treatment has on patients, caregivers and hospital staff.
This randomized clinical trial studies structured multidisciplinary intervention or standard medical care in improving quality of life (QOL) in patients receiving active cancer treatment. A structured multidisciplinary intervention may improve the QOL in patients receiving treatment for cancer. It is not yet known whether structured multidisciplinary intervention is more effective than standard medical care in improving QOL
This clinical trial studies computer-guided glucose management systems in treating patients with hyperglycemia who have undergone blood and bone marrow transplant. A computer-guided glucose management system may help manage glucose levels in patients who have undergone blood or bone marrow transplant.
This clinical trial studies short-term fasting before chemotherapy in treating patients with cancer. Fasting before chemotherapy may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy.
This clinical trial studies fluorine F-18 fluorothymidine (FLT)-positron emission tomography (PET) in predicting response to chemotherapy in patients with advanced malignancies. FLT solution can help locate cancer cells inside the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as FLT-PET, may help find tumors and measure a patient's response to treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cixutumumab and temsirolimus in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cixutumumab together with temsirolimus may kill more cancer cells.
Bevacizumab may reduce CNS side effects caused by radiation therapy. This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bevacizumab works in reducing CNS side effects in patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the brain for primary brain tumor, meningioma, or head and neck cancer.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as flavopiridol, cytarabine, and mitoxantrone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving a new schedule of more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. This phase I trial is studying the side effects, best dose, and best schedule for flavopiridol when given together with cytarabine and mitoxantrone in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia.
This randomized phase III trial is studying how well music therapy works compared to listening and discussing books on tape in improving quality of life in young patients undergoing stem cell transplant. Music therapy or book discussion may improve quality of life in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. It is not yet known whether music therapy is more effective than book discussion in improving quality of life in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
