Filter by:The aim is to ascertain which method out of epidural, spinal or patient controlled analgesia (PCA) is the most appropriate in fluid optimised patients after laparoscopic colorectal surgery in terms of pain control, length of hospital stay and time for gut recovery. The second aim is to assess the physiological changes that occur when the patient is placed in steep trendelenberg position together with the creation of the pneumoperitoneum.
This protocol (GENEFU) provides a mechanism for the 15-year followup period that the FDA requires for all participants in gene transfer protocols and assures that adequate followup can be maintained for a wide variety of participants on different individual gene therapy protocols at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. GENEFU serves as an umbrella protocol for long-term follow-up (LTFU) for recipients of gene therapy/gene marked (GT/GM) products at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The FDA has recommended methods to assess the risk of delayed adverse events after GT/GM and has provided specific requirements regarding the duration and design of LTFU observations. This protocol is intended to provide LTFU in accordance with the FDA guidelines for those who received a GT/GM product as part of a St. Jude-sponsored clinical trial or compassionate use treatment plan. The protocol calls for a physical examination or general health evaluation and collection of required blood samples annually for up to 15 years after the last receipt of a GT/GM product. Goals will be to obtain clinical histories in order to detect late clinical outcomes suggestive of retroviral or lentiviral disease, including but not limited to cancer/second malignancies, neurologic disorders, autoimmune disorders, and hematologic disorders. Blood samples will be archived and tested when clinically or scientifically indicated, as in the event of development of a second malignancy. This prospective cohort study will utilize descriptive statistics in the analysis of long-term late effects outcomes. It offers a uniform approach to long-term safety monitoring in research participants who have received a gene-transduced product as part of St. Jude-sponsored GT or GM protocols and compassionate use treatment plans.
This clinical study evaluates the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of dalotuzumab (MK-0646) in participants with relapsed or refractory locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors using once weekly and once every other week dose infusion regimens. The primary study hypothesis is that administration of dalotuzumab as a once weekly and an every other week infusion will be generally safe and well tolerated
A clinical study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ridaforolimus (MK-8669) in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
This study is being performed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TRC102 in combination with Alimta. In addition to safety, this study will also evaluate pharmacokinetics and tumor response.
The study was designed to allow for the continuation of treatment with Sorafenib as a single agent to those patients who participated in a previous Sorafenib study that had reached its designated end-date and who were, in the opinion of the Investigator and the Sponsor, still benefiting from treatment.
Phase I of the study (motion and quality assurance [QA] study) is being used to determine intrafraction target motion and define quality assurance procedures for single fraction spinal radiosurgery. The Phase II portion of the study is being used to estimate the palliative response (pain or relief of neurologic symptoms) and local control for single fraction radiosurgery delivered with TomoTherapy and to assess the acute and late toxicity of spinal radiosurgery.
This was a phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalation study of arginine deiminase linked via succinimidyl succinate to polyethylene glycol of 20,000 molecular weight (ADI-PEG 20) in subjects with advanced melanoma. ADI-PEG 20 was administered intramuscularly (IM) at escalating doses weekly for 9 weeks (cycle 1) or 8 weeks (subsequent cycles). The primary objectives were to the establish the safety, tolerability, and clinical efficacy of ADI-PEG 20. Secondary objectives included evaluation of the metabolic activity by [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET), pharmacodynamics, correlation of immunogenicity with clinical response, and correlation of argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) tumor expression with clinical response.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether CG5503 (tapentadol) is effective and safe in the treatment of chronic tumor related pain compared to placebo.
The purposes of this phase I portion are; 1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MK2461 and 2) to determine the recommended phase 2 dose or doses of MK2461. The purpose of the phase II portion is to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy of MK2461.
