Filter by:The overarching aim of the study is to evaluate in a randomized trial the impact of a family-supported intervention compared to a standard veteran-focused telephone counseling control group to promote smoking cessation among cancer and heart disease patients.
An open-label, Phase I, dose escalation study of CS-7017 administered by mouth in sequential cohorts of 3 to 6 participants with advanced or metastatic malignancies.
P276-00 is specific Cdk4-D1 and Cdk1-B inhibitor. P276-00 exhibited significant tumour reduction in animal models with less adverse effects.Based on the results from various in-vitro studies, P276-00 could be a potential candidate as a new mechanism based drug for the treatment of cancer.This Phase I study will determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose,Dose Limiting Toxicity and efficacy of P 276-00 in patients with advanced Refractory neoplasms.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of early treatment of anemia with epoetin alfa (a glycoprotein that stimulates red blood cell production) or best standard anemia care on the need for blood transfusions, tumor response, anemia and quality of life in patients with cancer receiving platinum-containing chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of epoetin alfa versus placebo in reducing or preventing the need for transfusions in anemic patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy, and to investigate possible quality-of-life benefits associated with the use of epoetin alfa. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of epoetin alfa versus placebo in reducing or preventing the need for transfusions in anemic patients with non-myeloid cancer on non-platinum chemotherapy, and to investigate quality-of-life benefits associated with the use of epoetin alfa. Epoetin alfa is a genetically engineered protein that stimulates red blood cell production.
The purpose of this research study is to find out if an experimental drug called PTK787/ZK222584 might be effective against advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. In order for tumors to grow and spread to other parts of the body, they need to have a growing blood supply. Tumor cells have been shown to produce substances that stimulate the abnormal growth of new blood vessels that allow the tumor to grow. In adults, blood vessel cells normally divide very rapidly. It is thought that PTK787/ZK222584 may interfere with the growth of new blood vessels. A drug that interferes with the growth of new blood vessels might stop tumor growth, and possibly shrink the tumor by keeping it from receiving nutrients and oxygen supplied by the blood vessels. Since normal blood vessel cells divide very rarely, it might be possible to stop tumor growth without harming normal tissues.
This cancer vaccine research study involves the injection of the NY-ESO-1b peptide along with 2 other agents to help stimulate the immune system. Peptides are small fragments of protein. NY- ESO-1 peptides are normally found in the testis and the placenta. They have also been found on various types of cancer cells. The purpose is to stimulate the immune system to react against the peptides that are found on cancer cells.
The primary purpose of this study is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose of irinotecan with the use of cefpodoxime for pediatric solid tumor patients.
This study of the FairCare Program (FC) is designed to address end of life (EOL) care delivery issues by reducing barriers to effective EOL care among health care providers, family members, surrogates, and Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) patients using a comprehensive, multi-pronged approach delivered by a care coordinator and supported by an interdisciplinary team.
