Filter by:The primary objective of this study was to assess whether angiotensin blockers (ARBs) and telmisartan in particular, are associated with an increased overall risk of the four most common cancers, namely, lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancers. A secondary objective was to explore these effects separately for each of the four cancers and in combination with angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitors (ACEIs).
Background: - Certain drugs - even when they are meant to help people - cause side effects. These are unwanted effects of the drug. There are many reasons why a drug might cause side effects in one person and not in another. It may be because of how much of the drug is in the person s blood at one time. Researchers want to study the blood of people having drug side effects to better understand why they happen. Objective: - To obtain blood samples from participants being treated with an investigational or FDA approved drug at the NIH who are having or are anticipated to have bad side effects that are thought to be due to large amount of the drug in their blood. The samples will be used to assess the cause of the side effects. Eligibility: - People 2 years and older who are currently enrolled in clinical trials at the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP). Design: - Participants will give blood samples.
The purpose of this study is to assess how the body handles Abemaciclib when it is given with another drug called clarithromycin. The study doctor will measure the amount of Abemaciclib that is absorbed into the blood stream and the time that it takes to remove Abemaciclib from the body. The safety and tolerability of these drugs will be studied. Each participant will complete 2 study periods in fixed order. After screening, Period 1 will last approximately 8 days and Period 2 will last approximately 15 days. Participants who complete Period 2 may continue to receive Abemaciclib in 28-day cycles until discontinuation criteria are met.
The optimal number of biopsy and the detection rate of neoplastic lesions are not established. The aim of this study is to assess the current practice pattern and effect of training in upper endoscopic biopsy.
The purpose of this study is to find the safe dose of nab-paclitaxel in children with solid tumors, and to see if it works to treat these solid tumors in children and young adults (in Phase 1 ≤ 18 years old and in Phase 2 ≤ 24 years old). After the final dose has been chosen, patients will be enrolled according to the specific solid tumor type, (neuroblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, or Ewing's sarcoma), to see how nab-paclitaxel works in treating these tumors.
Detection of mutation / specific polymorphism of the EVER/TMC6 and/or EVER/TMC8 gen.
This study will evaluate PF-05212384 (gedatolisib) PI3K/mTOR inhibitor)) in combination with either docetaxel, cisplatin or dacomitinib in select advanced solid tumors. The study will assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these combinations in patients with advanced cancer in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose in each combination. The cisplatin combination expansion portion will evaluate the anti tumor activity of PF 05212384 plus cisplatin in patients with TNBC in 2 separate Arms (Arm 1 and Arm 2).
The incidence risk of colorectal cancer （CRC） is increasing at 4.2% year by year in China. Most effective way to reduce the death rate of CRC patients is to diagnose in quite an early stage. QiaoKou District is a chemical industry Zone of Wuhan with a long history, which has few data of CRC epidemiology. The investigators design the primary CRC screening for this district by healthy questionnaire, Fecal Occult Blood Test(FOBT) and colonoscopy. HanYang Areo has been chosen as Control for its non-industry environment.The crowd would be screen biennially. The high risk group would be intervened, such as resection of polyps or other specific treatment. A follow-up registration database has been built for analysis the relationship between incidence or death rate to high risk factors, such as age, life environment, lifestyles, base diseases and family history of cancer. This study will provide some epidemiology dates of CRC to the local Government, and assist the governor to built a more effective screening system of CRC.
Background: - Indenoisoquinoline LMP400 is an experimental cancer treatment drug. It damages DNA in tumor cells. Tumor cells with damaged DNA may die, resulting in cell death. Researchers want to see if this drug is a safe and effective treatment for solid tumors and lymphomas that have not responded to earlier treatment. Objectives: - To see if Indenoisoquinoline LMP400 is a safe and effective treatment for advanced solid tumors or lymphomas. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have solid tumors or lymphomas that have not responded to treatment. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Tumor samples may also be collected. The size and location of the tumors will be determined with imaging studies. - Indenoisoquinoline LMP400 is given in a 28-day cycle. Participants will receive the drug by intravenous infusion on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, followed by a break of 13 days without the drug. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. Tumor samples will be optional. - Participants will continue their cycles of treatment as long as the cancer does not grow and there are no severe side effects.
Patients with cancer and an upper extremity DVT associated with a central venous catheter (CVC) will receive rivaroxaban. CVC survival will be assessed and compared to previous rates with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and warfarin, along with secondary safety outcomes including bleeding and recurrent venous thromboembolism. The investigators hypothesize that anticoagulation with rivaroxaban in patients with UEDVT secondary to central venous catheters in patients with active malignancy is an effective therapy as quantified by the success of catheter preservation. Prolonged line salvage rate without recurrence of UEDVT will improve the management of cancer patients who develop an upper extremity deep venous thrombosis in the setting of a central venous catheter.
