NCT00035152
Taxol and carboplatin are commonly used drugs for the treatment of stage IIIB or IV non small cell lung carcinoma. This study compares treatment with Taxol/carboplatin given every 3 weeks to a schedule where it is given weekly. The purpose of the study is to determine the most effective and safe schedule for giving these drugs in non small cell lung carcinoma.
NCT00107757
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational drug is effective and safe in children with seasonal allergic rhinitis.
NCT01031381
This study will investigate the efficacy as well as the safety of RAD001 in combination with bevacizumab for recurrent ovarian, peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer. RAD001 will be taken orally once daily and bevacizumab will be administered once every 14 days. The study will be conducted over a period of about 3 to 4 years.
NCT00994123
A Phase 1-2 study of MM-121 in combination with standard therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NCT01798485
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining ganetespib (STA-9090) with docetaxel is more effective than docetaxel alone in the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00525148
The primary objective of this open-label, single arm Phase II trial is to explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 defined by the objective response rate (CR, PR) as determined by RECIST criteria in patients with advanced NSCLC Stage IIIB or IV whose tumors harbor activating mutations within exon 18 to exon 21 of the EGFR receptor. Patients progressing or relapsing after one prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen as well as chemotherapy naïve patients (only in stage 2) will be allowed to enter into the trial.
NCT00004933
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if homoharringtonine is more effective than hydroxyurea for chronic myelogenous leukemia that has not responded to interferon alfa. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of homoharringtonine with that of hydroxyurea in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia that has not responded to interferon alfa.
NCT01527838
This trial is a prospective, open-label, single-arm trial of the safety of a single FT1050-treated CB unit for hematopoietic reconstitution after a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen for hematologic malignancies. A maximum of 40 eligible adult subjects will be enrolled and treated in the trial at approximately 2-4 centers within the U.S.
NCT00003700
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 untreated acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
NCT00003931
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as genetic testing, may improve the ability to detect acute myeloid leukemia and determine the extent of disease. PURPOSE: Diagnostic study to try to detect changes in the genes of patients who have acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT00002494
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 and alternating regimens of chemotherapy in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphocytic leukemia.
NCT00058331
RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa may stimulate red blood cell production and treat anemia in patients with solid tumors. It is not yet known whether epoetin alfa given once a week is more effective than epoetin alfa given once every 3 weeks in treating anemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of epoetin alfa in treating anemia in patients who have solid tumors.
NCT01325558
This is a Phase I, open-label, multi-center, competitive enrollment and dose-escalation study of ALT-836 in combination with standard of care gemcitabine in participants who have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and to assess the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of ALT-836 given with gemcitabine. The clinical benefit, progression-free survival and overall survival of study participants will also be assessed.
NCT00656136
This randomized, double-blind, multi-center Phase IIb/III trial will be performed in patients with NSCLC who have received previous treatment with at least one but not more than two lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy (one line must have been a platinum-containing regimen) and either gefitinib or erlotinib for a period of at least 12 weeks and then progressed. The primary objective of this randomized trial is to determine the efficacy of BIBW 2992 as a single agent (Arm A) as compared to a matching placebo (Arm B) in this patient population. Patients on both treatment arms will receive best supportive care in addition to study treatment. Patients enrolled into the trial will be treated and followed until death or lost to follow-up.
NCT00003077
RATIONALE: Omega-3 fatty acids are used by the body for energy and tissue development and may be an effective treatment for patients with advanced cancer who are unable to maintain their body weight. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids in treating patients with advanced cancer who have significant weight loss.
NCT00116883
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of an aqueous nasal spray investigational compound GW685698X compared to placebo on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenocortical (HPA) axis system in children 2 to 11 years of age with perennial allergic rhinitis.
NCT00897182
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and bone marrow in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify genes related to cancer. It may also help doctors diagnose cancer and predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is identifying cancer-related genes in blood and/or bone marrow samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT01734915
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the EGFR mutation can be detected in CTCs. CTCs are cancer cells that are shed from solid tumors and float freely in the bloodstream. A device called the CTC-chip has been developed to find CTCs in the blood of patients with cancer. This is an experimental device. Using this device, the investigators will test participants' blood to try and find CTCs with the EGFR mutation and compare them with the results from the biopsy your doctor has recommended. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a way to test for the EGFR mutation that is less invasive than a tumor biopsy.
NCT01209195
This study was a Phase 1 and pharmacologic open-labeled dose-escalation trial of MM-121 in combination with paclitaxel using a "3+3" design.
NCT02855788
phase II study of weekly metronomic chemotherapy using weekly Paclitaxel, Oxaliplatin, Leucovorin and 5-FU (POLF) in patients with advanced gastric cancer
