Filter by:This is a Phase Ib study as a continuation of the original Phase I protocol. The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to evaluate the safety of a single course of SGT-53 in combination with docetaxel and determine the recommended Phase II doses of SGT-53 and docetaxel in combination for evaluation in subsequent clinical studies for the treatment of solid tumors.
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 a molecule derived from Rohitukine, which through pre clinical assays was identified as a selective Cdk4-D1 and Cdk1-B inhibitor.The inhibition of these Cdks causes cell cycle arrest between the G1-S transition thus blocking the cell cycle events at an early stage of development. It therefore has the potential for being efficacious with lesser side effects.
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 confirm the effectiveness and safety of a new medical device which sprays liquid nitrogen through an upper endoscope (cryotherapy) to treat Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia and early esophageal cancer. It is hypothesized that this treatment will remove the abnormal lining of the esophagus and allow the normal esophageal lining to return.
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.
