NCT00437060
This clinical trial is looking at brain function in young patients receiving methotrexate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Learning about the long-term effects of methotrexate on brain function may help doctors plan cancer treatment.
NCT02642510
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a structured, DVD educational intervention about what to expect during inpatient treatment of a newly diagnosed cancer. The focus of the study will be newly diagnosed lymphoma and acute leukemia patients and their family members. Outcome variables will be the patient and family member's satisfaction with inpatient teaching and anxiety about inpatient treatment.
NCT00874393
This trial tests the feasibility of enrolling 60 extremely preterm infants in a randomized, double-blinded study of blood pressure management within 12 months. Eligible infants will receive an infusion drug (dopamine or a dextrose placebo) and a syringe drug (hydrocortisone or a normal saline placebo). Enrolled infants will be randomized to receive one of the following drug pairs: * dopamine and hydrocortisone * dopamine and normal saline * dextrose and hydrocortisone * dextrose and normal saline. In addition to the intervention above, the NRN is conducting a 6-month time-limited prospective observational study of all infants born at an NRN center between 23 and 26 weeks gestational age. All clinical decisions made for these babies will be at the discretion of the attending neonatologist/infant care team according to standard practice at each institution. Data on blood pressure management in the first 24 postnatal hours collected for each infant.
NCT01438307
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide and in the United States. The majority of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The majority of NSCLC cases are advanced at the time of diagnosis. Chemotherapy has improved overall survival but remains limited at \< 12 months median overall survival. New approaches are needed for second line chemotherapy treatment. Cabazitaxel-XRP6258 has shown increased overall survival in metastatic prostate cancer and it is hopeful it can do the same in advanced NSCLC.
NCT02276560
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether giving cisplatin and nab-paclitaxel before surgery will reduce the presence of disease in certain areas of the lung at the time of surgery.
NCT01868893
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, expanded access treatment study designed to provide obinutuzumab to patients with previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in combination with chlorambucil and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of obinutuzumab administered in combination with chlorambucil. This study will enroll patients with previously untreated CD20-positive CLL requiring treatment according to the IWCLL guidelines (Hallek et al 2008), as assessed by the investigator.
NCT00856830
Small cell lung cancer, or SCLC, constitutes approximately 15% of the 170,000 new cases of lung cancer diagnosed annually in the United States. Extensive-stage SCLC comprises two thirds of new cases and is generally considered sensitive to chemotherapy, despite a median time to progression of 4 months. SCLC is one of the most aggressive and lethal types of cancer, with a median survival of 9 months (range 7-11 months) in patients diagnosed with extensive disease. Overall, the majority of patients with SCLC die in less than 2 years (2-year survival rates generally less than 10%), and the 5-year survival rate is 2.3% for patients with extensive disease. The regimen of etoposide in combination with a platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) is generally considered the "standard of care" although a recent Phase III trial suggests improved survival with the combination of cisplatin/irinotecan. Further evaluation of new agents in combination regimens attempting to overcome the intrinsic drug resistance seen in extensive-stage SCLC is warranted attempting to improve survival and achieve palliation of disease-related symptoms.
NCT00417040
This pilot clinical trial studies how well using the internet to collect symptoms and the ability to carry out daily activities works in patients with enrolled on Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) studies. A study that evaluates a patient's ability to use a clinic waiting room computer to report their symptoms and their ability to carry out daily activities may help doctors understand a patient's use of a computer to report symptoms.
NCT01317901
This was a Phase 1 multicenter study of bendamustine, rituximab and TRU-016 (BRT) in subjects with relapsed indolent B-cell lymphoma. This was a multiple-dose escalation study to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of TRU-016 given in combination with rituximab and bendamustine and to determine a safe dosing regimen for the combination in up to 12 subjects with relapsed indolent lymphoma. The originally planned Phase 2 portion, an open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of BRT compared with BR, was not conducted.
NCT01457885
Although transplant results for AML in complete remission (CR) at the time of transplant have improved, transplant results for non-remission AML have been quite poor. Most multi-center studies have focused on standard risk AML patients and not many studies have been done in this population of patients with non-remission AML. There are a large number of older patients with non-remission AML because the complete remission rate with induction chemotherapy decreases with age. Such older patients do not tolerate conventional full intensity conditioning regimens. Thus, an effective and tolerable conditioning regimen for non-remission AML is a great unmet need for current transplant practice. From the investigators earlier study, it is suggested that replacing Fludarabine of standard FluBu4 regimen by Clofarabine (a related drug with much more potent anti-leukemia effect) in the transplant conditioning regimen may potentiate the anti-tumor activity of the conditioning regimen without adding significant toxicity, a goal of new conditioning regimen development. The investigators expect to enroll a total of 75 patients from about fifteen sites. The investigators main objective is to confirm both the safety and efficacy as measured by one-year overall survival, of the CloBu4 combination as full intensity conditioning for non-remission acute myelogenous leukemia.
NCT01466153
The overall purpose of the study was to determine if MEDI-551, when used in combination with salvage chemotherapy (bendamustine) in participants with relapsed or refractory CLL who are not eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), had superior efficacy compared to rituximab in the same population.
NCT00622193
The purpose of this study is to evaluate doses of anamorelin for safety and efficacy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01160601
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 study comparing Paclitaxel/Carboplatin with or without bavituximab in patients that have previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NCT00607997
This study will evaluate the overall remission rate of treatment with vosaroxin (formerly voreloxin) Injection in patients at least 60 years of age with previously untreated AML
NCT00046111
The purpose of this study is to compare two capsules of topotecan made by slightly different methods. This will be done by giving the drug made by the two different methods to patients orally and testing blood levels.
NCT01520558
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-controlled, non-randomized dose-escalating Phase 1 clinical study designed to examine the safety of infusing escalating doses of CNDO-109-Activated Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells-(from a first or second degree relative), after a preparatory chemotherapy regimen, in adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in their first complete remission at the time of enrollment, are not candidates for stem cell transplant, and are considered to be at high risk for recurrence.
NCT00652028
The objective of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of dexmedetomidine administered as an intravenous loading dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion in pediatric subjects ages ≥2 through \<17 years old.
NCT01858389
This is a Phase 2 study of oral dacomitinib given every 12 hours over days 1-4 of each two-week cycle to patients with Non-small cell lung cancer. The study includes two groups of patients, those whose tumor has a documented T790M mutation, and those without this mutation. All patients will receive repeated cycles of dacomitinib until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met.
NCT01260831
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of Bedside Paediatric Early Warning System (Bedside-PEWS) on early identification of children at risk for near and actual cardiopulmonary arrest, hospital mortality, processes of care and PICU resource utilization.
NCT01677780
This open-label, extension study is designed to provide continuing treatment with RO5045337 to participants who have completed parent studies NO21279 (NCT00623870), NO21280 (NCT00559533), NP25299 (NCT01164033), NP28021 (NCT01605526) or NP28023 (NCT01635296). Participants are eligible to participate in this study if they have completed required Phase 1 study assessments for primary objectives of respective parent protocol and are having evidence of clinical benefit (as defined by the parent protocol). Participants will continue the most similar dose and formulation available (which does not exceed the maximum tolerated dose \[MTD\] or the maximum safely administered dose for that formulation during Phase 1) and the same schedule of RO5045337 treatment that they were receiving at the time of transitioning from the parent clinical study protocol.
