Filter by:Phase 1: Assessment of safety and tolerability of ADI-PEG 20 in combination with folinic acid (leucovorin), fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) in advanced GI malignancies. Phase 2: Assessment of the objective response rate (ORR), measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).
To investigate the dosage of RRx-001 by the subcutaneous route.
Multicenter randomized phase II study, double-blind, comparing Taxotere plus curcumin versus Taxotere plus placebo combination in first-line treatment of prostate cancer metastatic castration resistant. Assess time to progression (time to progression) of metastatic disease (from first day of treatment in the trial).
This is an open-label, multicenter, 2-part study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for GSK2816126 given twice weekly by intravenous (IV) infusion. Part 1 will be conducted in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL), other Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), solid tumors (including castrate resistant prostate cancer) and multiple myeloma (MM) to determine the safety and tolerability of GSK2816126. Expansion cohorts (Part 2) are planned to further explore clinical activity of GSK2816126 at the RP2D in subjects with Enhancer of Zeste 2 (EZH2) wild type and EZH2 mutant positive germinal center B-cell like diffuse large B cell lymphoma (GCB-DLBCL), tFL and MM.
This clinical trial studies the safety and drug distribution of the radioactive drug, 2'-deoxy-2'-[18F]fluoro-5-methyl-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (fluorine F 18 d-FMAU [18F-FMAU]), for imaging with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with advanced cancers. A PET scan is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive glucose (sugar) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the glucose is taken up. Because cancer cells often take up more glucose than normal cells, the pictures can be used to find cancer cells in the body. PET/CT using the drug fluorine F 18 d-FMAU, may help find cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
To assess the safety and tolerability at increasing dose levels of PF-06647263 in patients with advanced solid tumors in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose and select the recommended Phase 2 dose.
STUDY BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Patients with hematological malignancies (blood-related cancers) often develop thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), which can be made worse by cancer treatment. Preventive (prophylactic) platelet transfusion remains the standard of care for thrombocytopenic patients. However, bleeding remains a significant problem in these patients, affecting approximately 20% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia and 34-58% of hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Platelet transfusion refractoriness, the repeated failure to obtain satisfactory response to platelet transfusions, is a common problem. Alternatives to platelet transfusions are desperately needed for these patients. Epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) blocks a process called fibrinolysis that is an essential step in the bleeding process. EACA is approved by the FDA for the treatment of severe bleeding-related diseases and complications. A small study has shown EACA to be well tolerated and associated with low risk of bleeding in patients with hematological malignancies. This study will compare EACA versus standard prophylactic platelet transfusion for the prevention of bleeding in thrombocytopenic patients with hematological malignancies. STUDY DESCRIPTION: This is Phase II study to compare EACA versus standard prophylactic platelet transfusion to prevent bleeding in thrombocytopenic patients with hematological malignancies. Patients who are eligible to take part must give their written agreement before they can be enrolled. The study will enroll 100 patients who will be assigned randomly to take EACA twice daily or to undergo standard prophylactic platelet transfusion. Patients will be followed for any bleeding events, need for platelet transfusion, and any side effects experienced. Patients will complete questionnaires to assess their quality of life while on the study.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the effects of taking doxepin hydrochloride as compared to placebo (inactive drug) in treating esophageal pain in patients with cancer located in the chest area receiving radiation therapy to the thorax with or without chemotherapy. Doxepin hydrochloride is a tricyclic antidepressant drug which was recently shown to be helpful for mouth pain in patients receiving radiation therapy. Doxepin hydrochloride affects the surface of the esophagus, which may be helpful in reducing the pain caused by radiation therapy.
The first part of this study is to find the recommended dosages of a combination of two drugs: pazopanib and fosbretabulin, which will be given to female patients with relapsed ovarian cancer. The second part of the study involves comparing the recommended dose of pazopanib and fosbretabulin in combination against pazopanib alone in female patients with relapsed ovarian cancer to determine whether the combination is more beneficial that pazopanib on it's own.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether and when patients with human papilloma virus positive squamous cell cancer of the oropharynx treated with radiation and chemotherapy clear their human papilloma virus infection.
