NCT00374322
This study was designed to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of an oral dual tyrosine kinase inhibitor, lapatinib, versus placebo in women with early-stage ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer who have completed their primary neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and have no clinical or radiographic evidence of disease.
NCT00841191
The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended dose of siltuximab monotherapy, in participants with solid malignant (cancerous) tumors (a mass in a specific area) and to estimate the clinical benefit of siltuximab monotherapy in participants with ovarian cancer and with Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) mutant tumors.
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.
NCT00288275
Chemoresponse assays (lab test) measure the effect that chemotherapy treatment has on a patient's cancer cells in the lab. This test has shown success in a retrospective study in predicting how an individual patient's tumor will respond to a given chemotherapy and how treatment utilizing an agent that the test said that a patient's cells would be sensitive too corresponds to a longer progression free interval. This study will determine the ability of two tests used to predict the success of chemotherapy in recurrent, persistent, or refractory cancer of the ovaries, fallopian tube(s) or peritoneum by measuring how long patients live without progression.
NCT00246571
The purpose of this study is to compare progression free survival for SU011248 \[sutent (sunitinib malate)\] versus standard of care therapy in patients with previously treated, advanced, triple receptor negative (ER, PR, HER2) locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00094055
This is a Phase 2 study being conducted at multiple centers in the United States. Patients having thyroid cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (i.e., metastatic) are eligible to participate. Patients must have disease that was not controlled by previous treatment with radioactive iodine (131I) or not be good candidates for such treatment. The purpose of the study is to test whether the angiogenesis inhibitor AG-013736 is an effective treatment for metastatic thyroid cancer as shown by the number of patients in the study who experience significant and durable tumor shrinkage.
NCT00454649
To determine the best dose of this investigational agent AG-013736 in combination with various standard of care treatments for advanced solid tumors.
NCT00403221
The purpose of this study is to conduct a Phase I clinical trial involving in situ RTVP-1 gene therapy for prostate cancer. We will conduct necessary safety evaluations on a new adenovirus that contains the human genes for RTVP-1. This virus will then be evaluated for safety in men with prostate cancer prior to radical prostatectomy. Based on the preclinical data, we hope that this treatment will induce not only a local cytotoxic and antiangiogenic effect but also, a systemic antitumor immune response capable of eradicating micrometastatic disease (the reason for recurrence in many of these patients).
NCT00137436
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of SU011248 (sunitinib malate, SUTENT) in combination with docetaxel and prednisone for the first-line treatment of metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer (mHRPC).
NCT00057720
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority in survival in favor of TLK286 as compared to active control therapy with Doxil/Caelyx or Hycamtin in the intent-to-treat (ITT) populations.
NCT00516893
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the immunogenicity of natalizumab (Tysabri®) produced by a modified manufacturing process (natalizumab high titer; BG00002-E) administered intravenously (IV) to participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The secondary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of natalizumab high titer.
NCT00592839
This is a multi-center study to evaluate the effects of SCE-B on nocturnal vasomotor symptoms. Study duration will be approximately 16 weeks; this includes a 4-week screening period and approximately 5 scheduled clinic visits. Participants will receive one of two strengths of SCE-B tablets plus matching placebo or placebo only, and will have a physical and gynecological exams that may include transvaginal ultrasound, endometrial biopsy and a pap smear. Participants will be asked to wear a monitoring device for a portion of the study and be asked to complete a daily dairy.
NCT01323933
Analysis of safety, tolerability, and PK data will provide information that will guide future development of AB0024.
NCT00350948
The purpose of this research study is to determine if Telcyta® given in combination with liposomal doxorubicin is more effective than liposomal doxorubicin alone in treating women who have recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer that is refractory or resistant to platinum chemotherapy.
NCT00484536
The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect, safety and tolerability of CDP323 in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis
NCT00097721
The purpose of this study is to determine if E7389 is a safe and effective treatment for advanced/metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00048659
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who take YM598 in addition to mitoxantrone and prednisone (standard therapy) experience improvement in the pain associated with prostate cancer metastases in the bone.
NCT00147550
MEK is a critical member of the MAPK pathway involved in growth and survival of cancer cells. PD-325901 is a new drug designed to block this pathway and kill cancer cells. The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of PD-325901 in patients with colon cancer, breast cancer, and melanoma. PD-325901 will be given by mouth as a pill twice a day, CT scans will be done and biopsies will be taken of a tumor before and once during treatment to measure the effects of the drug. Blood samples will be taken to measure the amount of drug in the blood.
NCT00129961
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sirolimus on the prevention of new non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in kidney transplant recipients.
NCT00319254
The purpose of this study is to determine if SKI-606 (Bosutinib) is effective in the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patients must have current Stage IIIB, IIIC or IV breast cancer and have progressed after 1 to 3 prior chemotherapy regimens.
