Filter by:This study is a phase Ib, open label, multi-centre trial designed to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of lithium when combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen of oxaliplatin and capecitabine in patients with advanced, unresectable, oesophago-gastric or colorectal cancer who have received no previous treatment for advanced disease (previous adjuvant or neo-adjuvant treatment is acceptable if completed at least 6 months prior to registration). The study follows a modified Fibonacci, 3+3, dose escalation design. Patients are enrolled in cohorts of 3. All three patients in each cohort must complete at least two cycles of treatment to be evaluable for toxicity. If a patient cannot complete 2 cycles, another patient will be enrolled.
This is a prospective study of the safety and efficacy of nivolumab for the treatment of relapsed or residual haematological malignancies after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT). Eligible patients will receive nivolumab at a dose of 3mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the incidence, severity and treatment responsiveness of GVHD following nivolumab treatment post-alloSCT.
This trial studies how well a decision aid website works in helping to make decisions about fertility in participants with cancer. Decision aid websites that provide information about fertility preservation (maintaining your ability to have children of your own after cancer treatment) may help participants with cancer make fertility-preservation decisions.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if GSK2636771 given in combination with pembrolizumab can help to control the disease in patients with refractory (has not responded to treatment) metastatic melanoma. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Pembrolizumab is FDA approved and commercially available and FDA approved for the treatment of several types of cancer, including melanoma. GSK2636771 is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 41 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
This randomized pilot trial studies how well fat emulsion works in preventing hypersensitivity reactions in patients with cancer receiving carboplatin or oxaliplatin. Giving lipids before chemotherapy may prevent some drug reactions from carboplatin or oxaliplatin.
Objectives: Primary Aim: Examine the feasibility of a dyadic yoga program in 40 Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) and their family caregivers. Secondary Aims: 1. Establish the initial efficacy of the yoga program in patients and their caregivers regarding quality of life (QOL) outcomes (i.e., fatigue, sleep disturbance, depressive symptoms, and overall QOL) and objective performance outcomes (i.e, sit to stand test and grip strength).
This study evaluates the usefulness of serum levels of trefoil factor 3 (TFF3), secreted frizzled related protein 4 (sFRP-4), reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (Romo1) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB as potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in ovarian carcinoma.
This study evaluates four different doses of ACIT-1 for safety and for the ability to raise effective anti-cancer immune responses in patients with pancreatic and other cancers. Approximately half of the patients will have pancreatic cancer and the other half will have other cancers.
This study is designed for patients diagnosed with MET-driven, unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma. The purpose of this study is to see if an investigational new anti-cancer medication, savolitinib, is effective in treating patients with MET-driven PRCC, how it compares with another medication frequently used to treat this disease called sunitinib, and what side effects it might cause.
GRAIL is using high-intensity sequencing of circulating cell-free nucleic acids (cfNAs) to develop blood tests to detect cancer early. The purpose of this study is to validate the ability of the pre-specified GRAIL Test to detect breast cancer and other invasive cancers, including hematologic malignancies, that will occur within one year of the first study blood draw.
