NCT00516503
RATIONALE: Baclofen-amitriptyline-ketamine (BAK) gel may lessen peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether BAK gel is more effective than a placebo in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy . PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying BAK gel to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
NCT01143402
This randomized phase II trial studies temozolomide to see how well it works compared to selumetinib in treating patients with melanoma of the eye that has spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether temozolomide is more effective than selumetinib in treating melanoma of the eye.
NCT01237886
Knowing when to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation (i.e. removal of breathing or endotracheal tube or extubation) is critically important, as both prolonged ventilation and failed extubation are both associated with harm and risk of death. Our objective is to improve the safety of extubation by harnessing hidden information contained in the patterns of variation of heart and respiratory rate measured over intervals-in-time. Currently, to assess a patient's ability to be extubated, a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) is routinely performed, where the level of ventilator support is reduced, and their response is observed in order to help predict if they will tolerate extubation (i.e. complete removal of ventilator support). Given that health is associated with a high degree of variation of physiologic parameters (e.g. heart and respiratory rate), and illness \& stress are associated with a loss of variability, the investigators aim to uncover the loss of variation as a measure of stress during SBT's. The investigators hypothesize that maintaining stable heart rate and respiratory rate variability (HRV and RRV) throughout the SBT will predict subsequent successful extubation, and conversely, a reduction in either HRV or RRV manifest during a SBT predicts extubation failure. A pilot study has demonstrated feasibility, and compelling preliminary results. A website, centralized data storage and analysis, and a trans-disciplinary team of scientists are in place to definitively test this novel technology. Determination of when to extubate critically ill patients remains a high-stakes clinical challenge; and improved prediction of extubation failure has potential to save lives and reduce costs in critically ill patients.
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.
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).
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).
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.
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
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.
