NCT01385787
This is a non-therapeutic study. Pediatric AML patients undergoing HCT with a myeloablative preparative regimen may be enrolled. Subjects can be enrolled 10-40 days prior to HCT. Three samples for MRD (measured by WT1 PCR and flow cytometry) will be collected from peripheral blood and bone marrow: 1) pre-HCT (\<3 weeks prior to starting the preparative regimen), 2) day 42 +/- 14 days post HCT (early post-engraftment), and 3) day 100 (+/-20 days) post HCT. For two years after transplant, the subject's follow-up data will be collected using the Research Level Forms in the CIBMTR Forms Net internet data entry system. The main objective is to determine whether there is any association between level of pre-transplant and post-transplant bone marrow MRD using WT1 and flow cytometry with 2-year event-free-survival, and to estimate the strength of that association in terms of the predictive accuracy of MRD. The investigators hypothesize that measurable MRD at either time point will be associated with decreased 2-year event-free survival.
NCT00828139
This randomized phase II trial is studying topotecan to see how well it works when given with or without aflibercept in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Combinations of biological substances in aflibercept may be able to carry tumor-killing substances directly to small cell lung cancer cells. Aflibercept may also stop the growth of small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether topotecan is more effective with or without aflibercept in treating patients with small cell lung cancer.
NCT01466179
The purpose of this study is to confirm whether the bispecific T cell engager antibody blinatumomab (MT103) is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
NCT02255162
This research study is evaluating the safety and tolerability of the drug lenalidomide in combination with and following mismatched related donor microtransplantation in high risk AML patients in first remission. This study also aims to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide given in this setting. Microtransplantation seeks to give the participant donor cells in hopes that those cells can attack the underlying cancer. However, since the donor cells do not replace all of the host cells, it can hopefully avoid many of the serious risks involved with standard transplant, including graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) - a complication where the donor cells attack the participant's normal body. Recent studies have suggested that lenalidomide can help aid donor cells to attack cancer when given after a stem cell transplant. This trial is trying to see if lenalidomide can help encourage the attack of leukemia cells by donor cells given as part of microtransplantation. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has approved lenalidomide but it has been approved for other uses such as in the treatment of other cancers including multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although lenalidomide has been studied in patients with AML, it has not been approved by the FDA for standard use in AML. Lenalidomide is a compound made by the Celgene Corporation. It has properties which could demonstrate antitumor effects. The exact antitumor mechanism of action of lenalidomide is unknown.
NCT00045942
CPKC412A2104 core had a 2 stage design. In stage 1, eight participants were treated. If at least one participant showed a clinical response, four more participants were recruited to stage 2. The trial was to be stopped if no participants showed a response in stage 1. POC was achieved if at least 2 participants out of 12 responded. In PKC412A2104E1, participants with AML or high risk MDS with wild-type or mutant FTL3 who had not previously received a FLT3 inhibitor were randomized to receive continuous twice daily oral doses of either 50 or 100 mg midostaurin in 1 28-day cycle regimen. Participants were to be treated until disease progression or the occurrence of unacceptable treatment-related toxicity. PKC412A2104 E2 contained 2 dosing regimens: 1) intra-participant midostaurin dose escalation and 2) midostaurin with itraconazole in participants with AML and high risk MDS irrespective of FLT3 status. Eligible participants were alternately assigned to the regimens. At the Investigator's discretion, intra-participant dose escalation was allowed for any previously enrolled CPKC412A2104E1 participant receiving midostaurin at the time of the approval of amendment 4. Participants were treated until the time of disease progression.
NCT00386516
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of the established chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and the large carbohydrate molecule GM-CT-01 is beneficial in treating advanced gall bladder and bile duct cancer.
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.
NCT01643668
This research is a phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether it works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the study intervention is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. It also means that the FDA has not yet approved this study intervention for your type of cancer. All participants on this study are treated in an identical manner. The investigators are doing this study because there continues to be a significant risk of relapse of disease after reduced intensity transplantation. In studies which have compared transplants using high-doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation versus reduced intensity transplants, patients undergoing reduced intensity transplants appear to have higher rates of relapse, but lower rates of toxicity and complication. This study attempts to utilize clofarabine, a newer chemotherapy agent shown to be quite active in AML, ALL, and MDS, to increase the anti-tumor effects of the conditioning regimen without accumulating unacceptable toxicity. The reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation procedure involves giving you chemotherapy in relatively less intense doses to suppress your immune system. This is followed by an infusion of healthy blood stem cells from a matched related donor or a matched unrelated volunteer donor. It is hoped that these donor cells can eventually then attack any cancer cells which remain. In this research study, the investigators are looking to see how well this new combination of busulfan and clofarabine works in reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation. By "works" the investigators mean to analyze safety, ability of donor cells to engraft (take hold), as well as measures of complications including toxicity, infections, graft-vs-host disease (GVHD), and relapse.
NCT00383656
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) upon the pituitary and ovaries of women with infertility. Women diagnosed with GnRH deficiency, hypothalamic amenorrhea or acquired hypogonadic hypogonadism, will participate in this study. It is hoped that administration of GnRH will lead to proper stimulation of the pituitary gland and to normal ovulation and menstruation. \*\*WE ARE CURRENTLY RECRUITING ONLY WOMEN WITH A DIAGNOSIS OF IDIOPATHIC HYPOGONADIC HYPOGONADISM (IHH)\*\* Pulsatile GnRH has been approved by the FDA for use in women with primary amenorrhea due to complete GnRH deficiency. The overall goals of this protocol are to continue to use pulsatile GnRH in GnRH-deficient and other anovulatory women for ovulation induction and to examine specific physiologic hypotheses, which can only be addressed in this patient population.
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
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.
NCT02049151
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, Phase 3 trial in subjects with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have demonstrated either stable disease or objective response following primary concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CRT), comparing overall survival (OS) time in subjects treated with tecemotide versus subjects treated with tecemotide-matching placebo.
NCT02132169
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of AC-170 0.24% used twice daily in Healthy Adult Subjects and in Pediatric subjects with a history or family history of atopic disease (including allergic conjunctivitis).
NCT01606579
PRI-724 is a new investigational drug being studied to treat subjects with cancer who have advanced myeloid malignancies. PRI-724 is thought to work by blocking the Wnt signaling pathway that cancer cells need to grow and spread (metastasize).
NCT03224416
For decades, men who have sex with men (MSM) have carried the heaviest burden associated with the HIV epidemic in the United States. Although MSM represent a minority (i.e., approximately 4%) of the male population in the United States, in 2010 MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males. Furthermore, the estimated number of new HIV infections attributed to male-to-male sexual contact is currently rising. In order to improve interventions to decrease transmission of HIV among MSM, it is important to have a better understanding of predictors of risky sexual behavior. Alcohol use is among the most reliable predictors of risky sexual behavior. Unfortunately, studies of alcohol use and risky sex among MSM have mainly relied on survey-based methods that cannot advance our understanding of the causal mechanisms linking acute alcohol use to HIV risk behavior. This study will utilize an "alcohol/placebo/nonalcohol" design to examine the mechanisms underlying the association between the acute effects of alcohol (i.e., pharmacological and expectancy) and risky sexual decision making in MSM. Focal mechanisms include sex-specific delay discounting (SSDD), and the core constructs of the Cognitive Mediation Model. The alcohol/placebo/nonalcohol design involves three conditions. In the alcohol condition (target BrAC = 0.080g%), the participant will be told he is receiving alcohol and will receive beverages of 1:4 parts vodka and tonic water with dashes of lime juice and mint, all mixed in his presence. In the placebo condition (target BrAC = 0.000g%), the participant will be told he is receiving alcohol but will receive beverages of 1:4 parts flat tonic water (served from a vodka bottle) and tonic water, with a minimal amount of vodka "floated" on the surface (using a lime juice bottle) to provide the smell and taste of vodka, with lime juice and mint, all mixed in his presence and served in glasses with vodka-soaked rims. In the true control (or nonalcohol) condition, the participant will be told he is receiving no alcohol and will be given water (poured in his presence) in a volume comparable to the other conditions. This 3-group design will enable us to test the pharmacological effects of alcohol while accounting for potential expectancy effects. Participants (Target N = 150-180) will be randomly assigned to one condition; all will undergo the same protocol, which will be completed within one experimental session. The study protocol consists of baseline assessment, followed by beverage administration, followed by post-drinking assessment of SSDD and sexual decision making, followed by debriefing.
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.
NCT01500083
The purpose of the current study is to evaluate additional safety data of bendamustine in up to 100 patients with Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (iNHL) relapsing from a rituximab regimen or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). Patients will receive up to 6 or 8 cycles of bendamustine treatment using the dosing regimens of TREANDA® (bendamustine) approved in several countries, which have been shown to be reasonably well tolerated. The study protocol includes safety monitoring (i.e., adverse events, concomitant medications, supportive care, clinical safety laboratory tests, and clinical disease status monitoring). It is an interventional, multicentre, prospective, open-label expanded access study, which in addition allows investigators in Canada, and their patients, access to bendamustine while it is pending Canadian marketing approval. Although the treatment options available for patients with iNHL or CLL do induce substantial responses, there is no curative treatment. One potential drug candidate for the treatment of CLL and iNHL is bendamustine. Bendamustine has been widely used in Germany for more than 30 years and is marketed in the United States for treatment of CLL and for treatment of iNHL that has progressed during or within 6 months of treatment with rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. In October 2010, the European Medicines Agency formally approved bendamustine in a number of Member States of the European Union for the treatment of patients with iNHL, CLL, and multiple myeloma. The drug's safety profile in these patient populations has been extensively characterized and no unexpected safety concerns are anticipated.
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.
NCT00587457
This was a multicenter, Phase 1, standard 3+3 dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and anti-neoplastic activity of moxetumomab pasudotox in relapsed or refractory participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL).
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.
