NCT00583830
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (disease response) and safety of mapatumumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel as first line therapy in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NCT00001251
The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy of intrathecal mafosfamide, a preactivated derivative of cyclophosphamide against meningeal malignancies refractory to conventional therapy (radiation therapy and chemotherapy). The maximally tolerated dose for intrathecal mafosfamide will be established in a limited dosage escalation schedule. The CSF pharmacokinetics of intrathecal mafosfamide will also be studied. Mafosfamide will be administered intrathecally on a bi-weekly basis for four weeks, followed by twice monthly administration for four months and then monthly IT administration. A minimum of 9 patients will be studied in each disease category (leukemias, lymphomas, and other malignancies refractory to conventional therapy).
NCT00019552
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irofulven in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer.
NCT00002812
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard combination chemotherapy treatment with more intensive combination chemotherapy in treating children with acute lymphocytic leukemia.
NCT00002816
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating children who have relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
NCT00005977
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphocytic leukemia.
NCT00043927
This study will gather and compare data about the effectiveness and safety of two different treatments for extensive Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) in patients who have not received previous chemotherapy. One treatment will use an investigational drug in combination with an FDA approved chemotherapy. The other treatment will use a combination of two FDA approved chemotherapy drugs.
NCT00009698
RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating children who have undergone bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT01701375
1.1 Primary Objectives * To determine the feasibility, tolerability, and toxicities of administering the selective CDK 4/6 inhibitor PD 0332991 prior to the combination of ara-C and Mitoxantrone for adults with relapsed and refractory acute leukemias and high risk myelodysplasias (MDS), including primary refractory disease * To determine the direct cytotoxic effects of single agent PD 0332991 on malignant blasts * To determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of PD 0332991 in timed sequential combination with ara-C and Mitoxantrone * To determine if the timed sequential combination of PD 0332991 with ara-C and mitoxantrone can induce clinical responses in adults with relapsed or refractory acute leukemias and high-risk MDS 1.2 Secondary Objectives: * To determine the ability of PD 0332991 to directly induce apoptosis in malignant cell populations in vivo * To obtain pharmacodynamic (PD) data regarding the ability of PD 0332991 to arrest malignant cells in the G 1 phase of cell cycle, followed by synchronized release of those cells into S phase upon discontinuation of PD 0332991 and resultant enhanced ara-C cytotoxicity
NCT00083187
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as VNP40101M and hydroxyurea, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Hydroxyurea may help VNP40101M kill more cancer cells by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving VNP40101M with hydroxyurea works in treating patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or high-risk myelodysplasia.
NCT00079443
This phase I/II trial is studying the best dose of FR901228 when given together with rituximab and fludarabine and to see how well FR901228 works alone in treating patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as FR901228 and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Rituximab may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs.
NCT00183456
This study will determine the effectiveness of a peer outreach intervention in preventing HIV infection in adults at high risk for contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
NCT00003361
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of decitabine in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome.
NCT00005579
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of dolastatin 10 in treating patients with indolent lymphoma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
NCT00530764
The purpose of this study is to determine the effective dose range and to demonstrate a non-effective dose range of Sativex in patients with advanced cancer, who experience inadequate pain relief even though they are on optimized chronic opioid therapy.
NCT00684918
This protocol will evaluate the efficacy of obatoclax in older patients with previously untreated AML.
NCT00737516
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) has established a system for registering, matching, and tracking unrelated donor cord blood units (CBUs) and transplant outcomes. Study subjects are donors who enroll through collaborating cord blood banks. This study creates uniform collection, screening, testing and storage requirements for cord blood units. The purpose of standardization is to improve efficiency in the selection of cord blood units for transplantation.
NCT01337154
The goal of this study is to determine the progression-free survival and objective response rate in subjects with either stage IIIB with pleural effusion NSCLC or stage IV NSCLC who are treated with up to six cycles of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and either tamibarotene or placebo. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive tamibarotene, 6 mg/m2, divided as twice daily orally, or an equal number of matching placebo tablets, starting 1 week before chemotherapy and continuing through all 6 cycles and beyond. Subjects will be assessed for response on Day 50, Day 113, then every other month using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1).
NCT00872976
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose for the combination of dasatinib and bendamustine in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
NCT00025129
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of VNP40101M in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors or lymphomas.
