NCT00806819
The trial will be performed to evaluate if BIBF 1120 in combination with standard pemetrexed therapy is more effective than placebo (inactive capsule) plus standard pemetrexed therapy in patients with stage IIIB, IV or recurrent NSCLC. Safety information about BIBF1120/pemetrexed will be obtained.
NCT01398501
Sorfenib works by slowing the spread of cancer cells. It has been used in other studies for patients with AML with the FLT3-ITD mutation and information from these studies suggests that sorafenib may help to control leukemia. The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of sorafenib for maintenance therapy that can be safely used in participants with AML who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplant.
NCT00829985
There is currently no effective way to prevent development of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) and asthma and no cure. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a type of therapy in which allergens are placed under the tongue, may be a way to control and possibly prevent allergic rhinitis and asthma. However, detailed research of this approach is limited. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a sublingual cockroach extract given to adults with perennial allergic rhinitis, asthma, or both.
NCT00096135
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has relapsed in the CNS and/or testes.
NCT01251224
The MAAIT is a randomized, controlled trial of a home intervention to reduce mouse allergen exposure in mouse allergic children with asthma and mouse allergen exposure. Participants will be randomized to either the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Group or the Education Group. The IPM Group will receive professional mouse abatement, education, two HEPA filters, allergen-proof mattress and pillow encasements, and targeted cleaning. The Education Group will receive education about IPM at the beginning of the trial and then after completion of the trial, will receive the IPM intervention. Participants will be followed for 12 months.
NCT02271139
This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, expanded access study designed to provide alectinib to participants with ALK-rearranged NSCLC after disease progression on or intolerance to prior ALK tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Participants will receive alectinib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, patient or physician decision to discontinue treatment, death, alectinib becomes commercially available in the United States following approval of alectinib by the FDA, or the Sponsor decides to close the trial, whichever occurs first (approximately 15 months).
NCT01181271
Relapse remains a principle cause of treatment failure for patients with aggressive lymphoma after autologous transplantation. Non-myeloablative allogeneic transplantation allows patients to receive an infusion of donor cells in an attempt to induce a graft versus lymphoma effect. This study will assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of the combination of autologous stem cell transplantation followed by non-myeloablative transplantation for patients with poor-risk aggressive lymphoma.
NCT01779843
This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I trials test the safety of an investigational drug or combination of drugs. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the combination of drugs is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. As part of this research study, you will take alisertib in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine. Alisertib has not been approved by the FDA for your cancer. However, cytarabine and idarubicin have both been approved by the FDA for treatment of AML. It also means that the FDA has not approved giving alisertib with idarubicin and cytarabine for use in patients, including patients with your type of cancer. Idarubicin and cytarabine are chemotherapy agents that are commonly used to treat individuals diagnosed with AML. Alisertib has been used in laboratory studies and those studies suggest that alisertib may slow down the spread of your cancer. It does this by blocking certain substances needed by the cancer cells to spread. In this study, researchers would like to combine alisertib with standard chemotherapy (cytarabine and idarubicin) in order to see if it can be given safely with chemotherapy in individuals with AML. The primary purpose of this research study is to determine the highest dose that alisertib can be given with idarubicin and cytarabine without severe or unmanageable side effects. The dose identified in this study will be used in future research studies.
NCT02262455
This is a Phase I study to test the safety, pharmacokinetics and effectiveness of STM 434 alone, or in combination with liposomal doxorubicin, in patients with ovarian cancer or other advanced solid tumors.
NCT00313586
This randomized phase II trial studies azacitidine with or without entinostat to see how well they work compared to azacitidine alone in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Entinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine together with entinostat may work better in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT01647711
This trial is divided into Part A and Part B. The primary objective of Part A is to establish the Maximal Tolerated Dose of intermittent high dose afatinib. The primary objective of Part B is to assess the response rate of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR T790M mutations to a dose of intermittent afatinib established in Part A. The secondary objective is to explore tumor response and tumor-derived biological markers of response to afatinib, as well as pharmacokinetic parameters of afatinib.
NCT00932893
This is a Phase 3 trial comparing the safety and anti-tumor activity of PF-02341066 versus pemetrexed or docetaxel in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with specific gene profile involving the ALK gene after failure of one previous chemotherapy regimen that included one platinum drug.
NCT00136409
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) of Gleevec in patients with BCR-negative myeloproliferative disorders including myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
NCT02311907
This randomized phase III trial is studying glutathione to see how well it works in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprotective drugs, such as glutathione, may help prevent peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin. It is not yet known whether glutathione is more effective than a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy.
NCT00806754
* The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the concomitant administration of ciclesonide nasal spray and azelastine nasal spray versus ciclesonide nasal spray alone in patients (18 years or older) with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) not adequately controlled on an intranasal corticosteroid or antihistamine monotherapy * The secondary objective is to investigate the safety of the concomitant administration of ciclesonide nasal spray and azelastine nasal spray
NCT00073008
This study was designed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two dose schedules of an oral investigational drug for the treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00519636

NCT01471782
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose of the bispecific T cell engager blinatumomab (MT103) in pediatric and adolescent patients with relapsed/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and to assess whether this dose of blinatumomab is effective.
NCT00108914
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational drug is effective and safe in children with perennial allergic rhinitis.
NCT01383148
This is a Phase IIb/III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to compare the efficacy and safety of first-line therapy combined with TG4010 or placebo in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TG4010 is a suspension of recombinant Modified Vaccinia virus strain Ankara (MVA strain) carrying coding sequences for human MUC1 antigen and human interleukin-2 (IL2). TG4010 has been developed for use as an immunotherapy in cancer patients whose tumors express the MUC1 antigen. TG4010 is intended to induce a MUC1-specific cellular immune response and to produce a non-specific activation of several components of the immune system.
