NCT01076530
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with temozolomide in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory primary brain tumors or spinal cord tumors. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may help temozolomide work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.
NCT00491075
Primary Objective: * To determine the clinical activity of Pemetrexed + Gemcitabine in non-clear cell renal cell cancer (RCC). Clinical activity will take into account response rate and progression free survival (PFS). Secondary Objectives: * To determine the toxicity of Pemetrexed + Gemcitabine in non-clear cell RCC. * To estimate the survival rate of patients with non-clear cell RCC treated with this combination.
NCT00497146
To evaluate the effects of paricalcitol capsules on cardiac structure and function over 48 weeks in patients with Stage 3/4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
NCT00598273
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide for the treatment of anemia in participants with chronic kidney disease, who are not on dialysis and not on erythropoiesis stimulating agent (ESA) treatment.
NCT00597753
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of peginesatide in the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants on dialysis.
NCT00598442
NCT00486538
This study is designed to determine the clinical efficacy and toxicity of ABT 869 in the treatment of subjects with advanced renal cell carcinoma who have previously received treatment with sunitinib.
NCT00511407
Although conventional hemodialysis removes waste products and corrects fluid imbalance, it does not replace critical absorptive, metabolic, endocrine, and immunologic functions performed by healthy renal tubule cells. This trial involving patients with acute renal failure evaluates the efficacy and safety of an extracorporeal renal assist device (RAD) containing human renal tubule cells connected to a conventional hemodialysis circuit. It is hypothesized that short-term (72-h) use of this cell therapeutic device will improve survival of ARF patients compared to patients receiving only conventional continuous renal replacement therapy.
NCT00014144
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of cancer of the urinary tract. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the urinary tract.
NCT00082459
The goal of this trial is to determine the safety of HSPPC-96 and which route of administration achieves a better response with the vaccine. HSPPC-96 is an immunotherapeutic agent made from an individual patient's tumor.
NCT00033904
Determine whether patients receiving adjuvant HSPPC-96 treatment after surgically resected, locally advanced renal cell carcinoma have improved recurrence-free survival as compared to subjects with no adjuvant treatment.
NCT00977080
Evaluates the effectiveness of on-label Paricalcitol versus Cinacalcet with Low-Dose Vitamin D.
NCT00863707
This study is intended to assess the safety and tolerance of regadenoson in subjects with renal impairment.
NCT00526331
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the early identification and more precise intervention of operating room (OR) patient fluid administration optimization using arterial pressure-based cardiac output (APCO) yields comparable patient outcome as fluid administration optimization using a global standard care method.
NCT00561912
Primary Objective: * To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) times for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated with decitabine and interferon alfa-2b. Secondary Objectives: * To determine the toxicity of the combination of decitabine and interferon alfa-2b at the proposed dose and schedule in patients with advanced RCC * To determine overall response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria for patients with advanced RCC treated with decitabine and interferon alfa-2b. * To determine the overall survival times for patients with advanced RCC treated with decitabine and interferon. * To study the effects of decitabine and interferon alfa-2b on DNA methylation and gene expression in patients' tumor and non-tumor tissues and their correlation with clinical outcomes. * To characterize the modulation of cellular immunity induced by the combination of decitabine and interferon alfa-2b in patients with advanced RCC and to correlate these results with clinical outcomes.
NCT00501462
This is an open-label study that will measure blood levels of different parts of a drug called GKS189075. People participating in this study will receive a single dose of 250mg GSK189075 by mouth. About 20 people with mild to moderate decrease in renal (kidney) function will be asked to participate in this study. They will be compared to about 20 healthy participants who are close to the same age and body size. People participating in this study will stay at a clinical research unit beginning 2 days before they receive their single dose of GSK189075 and will remain there until approximately one day after receiving the study drug. During this study urine will be collected beginning the day before receiving study drug until the day after, just prior to leaving the clinical research unit. Blood samples will also be collected at various times beginning immediately before until 24 hours after receiving the study drug.
NCT00372489
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of peginesatide for the maintenance of hemoglobin in participants with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had received at least 24 weeks of peginesatide treatment in an earlier study.
NCT00130897
The primary objective of this protocol is to provide access to SU011248 treatment for patients with metastatic RCC who are ineligible for participation in ongoing SU011248 clinical studies and have the potential to derive clinical benefit from treatment with SU011248 based on the judgment of the investigator.
NCT01792206
The purpose of this research study is to study the effects of paricalcitol on endothelial function and inflammation, cardiovascular risk factors which are associated with patient populations that have Type 2 diabetes and Stage 3 and 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Hypothesis 1: The state of CKD is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation and impaired post ischemic endothelium dependent flow mediated vasodilation which may contribute to atherogenesis. Hypothesis 2: The administration of paracalcitol to patients with CKD will suppress oxidative stress and inflammation and improve endothelial function and thus contribute to an anti-atherogenic action.
NCT01316055
The steady-state pharmacokinetics of Dalfampridine-ER (extended release) 7.5 mg (milligram) tablets in healthy adult volunteers and those with mild and moderate renal impairment, and examine between group comparisons.
