NCT ID: NCT01761968 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Chronic Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Long-term Study Evaluating the Effect of Givinostat in Patients With Chronic Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Start date: March 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a multicenter, open label, long-term study testing the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of givinostat in patients with Polycythemia Vera, Essential Thrombocythemia, primary Myelofibrosis, Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis, Post-Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis following core protocols in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and/or patient-named compassionate use program (if regulated/allowed by the local regulations, e.g. for Italy D.M. 8/5/2003 "Uso terapeutico di medicinale sottoposto a sperimentazione clinica" published on G.U. n. 173 of 28 July 2003, and the following amendments). Patients will continue at their last tolerable dose and treatment schedule of givinostat monotherapy. If patients previously received givinostat in combination with other drugs during a core protocol or a compassionate use program (if regulated/allowed by the local regulations, e.g. for Italy D.M. 8/5/2003 "Uso terapeutico di medicinale sottoposto a sperimentazione clinica" published on G.U. n. 173 of 28 July 2003, and the following amendments), they will be treated at the last tolerable dose of the combination. Assessment of safety and efficacy will be performed at each quarterly visit and each visit will also include laboratory tests and ECG examination. During the visits the clinical benefit will be assessed by Investigator according to the revised European LeukemiaNet response criteria (for PV and ET) and EUMNET response criteria (for MF). The dose of Givinostat will be modified for protocol specified toxicities. The treatment may continue up to Marketing Authorization of givinostat, currently planned in the next 5 years (note: only for Germany, this long-term study is initially limited up to 2 years of treatment). Patients may discontinue study treatment at any time and remain on study therapy as long as they derive clinical benefit. Safety will be monitored at each visit throughout the entire duration of the study. In case the approved label will not cover the whole study population, givinostat will be provided by the Sponsor to those patients not fulfilling the criteria for the approved label of the drug that are still deriving benefit from givinostat at the time of its commercial availability.

NCT ID: NCT01721343 Active, not recruiting - Pain Clinical Trials

Collaborative Targeted Case Management in Improving Functional Status in Patients With Stage III-IV Cancer

Start date: November 7, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized clinical trial studies collaborative targeted case management in improving functional status in patients with stage III-IV cancer. Collaborative targeted case management may improve functional mobility, improve quality of life, and reduce pain and health care utilization in patients with advanced cancer

NCT ID: NCT01697527 Active, not recruiting - Malignant Neoplasm Clinical Trials

Gene and Vaccine Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignancies

Start date: November 2, 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial will examine whether genetically reprogramming a patient's disease fighting white blood cells may build an immune response to kill cancer cells that express the NY-ESO-1 protein. In this study, this genetic therapy will be given during a stem cell transplant along with a vaccine therapy. The vaccine will be made using the NY-ESO-1 protein and may help to stimulate the engineered immune response to tumor cells.

NCT ID: NCT01694472 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Malignant Solid Tumors

Clinical Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of MAGE-A4 TCR Gene-Modified T Cells to Treat Malignant Tumors

Start date: July 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and preliminary efficacy of MAGE-A4 TCR Gene-Modified T lymphocytes in the treatment of malignant solid tumor patients, such as malignant melanoma and lung cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01644591 Active, not recruiting - Metastatic Melanoma Clinical Trials

Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Treating Patients With Greater Than 3 Melanoma Brain Metastases

Start date: August 2, 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic radiosurgery works in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to more than 3 places in the brain. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

NCT ID: NCT01638533 Active, not recruiting - Lymphoma Clinical Trials

Romidepsin in Treating Patients With Lymphoma, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, or Solid Tumors With Liver Dysfunction

Start date: June 12, 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of romidepsin in treating patients with lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or solid tumors with liver dysfunction. Romidepsin may stop the growth of cancer cells by entering the cancer cells and by blocking the activity of proteins that are important for the cancer's growth and survival.

NCT ID: NCT01628029 Active, not recruiting - Sleep Disorder Clinical Trials

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Multimodal Therapy in Treating Sleep Disturbance in Patients With Cancer

Start date: January 15, 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase II trial studies how well cognitive behavioral therapy and multimodal therapy works in treating sleep disturbance in patients with cancer. Cognitive behavioral therapy may help reduce sleep disturbances, fatigue, and insomnia as well as improve the well-being and quality of life of patients with cancer when given together with methylphenidate hydrochloride, therapeutic melatonin, and light therapy.

NCT ID: NCT01594723 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Neoplasms, Hematologic

A Study of LY2784544 in Participants With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Start date: May 22, 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of this study is to measure the response rate in participants with the myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), or myelofibrosis (MF) when treated with LY2784544, including those who have demonstrated an intolerance to, failure of primary response to, or have demonstrated disease progression while on ruxolitinib.

NCT ID: NCT01592968 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Brain

Stereotactic Radiosurgery or Whole Brain Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Non-melanoma Brain Metastases

Start date: August 2, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase III clinical trial compares stereotactic radiosurgery with whole brain radiation therapy to see how well they work in treating patients with non-melanoma cancer that has recently spread from the first location to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized type of radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Whole brain radiation therapy delivers a lower dose of radiation to the entire brain over several treatments. It is not yet known whether stereotactic radiosurgery works better than whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with non-melanoma brain metastases. Stereotactic radiosurgery may also cause fewer thinking and memory problems than whole brain radiation therapy.

NCT ID: NCT01590069 Active, not recruiting - Sarcoma Clinical Trials

Aerosolized Aldesleukin in Treating Patients With Lung Metastases

Start date: June 28, 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of aerosolized aldesleukin and to see how well it works in treating patients with cancer that has spread from the original tumor to the lungs. Biological therapies, such as aerosolized aldesleukin, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing.
