NCT01524978
This open-label, multi-center study will assess the efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive cancers (solid tumors and multiple myeloma, except melanoma and papillary thyroid cancer) and for whom vemurafenib is deemed the best treatment option in the opinion of the investigator. Participants will receive twice daily oral doses of 960 mg vemurafenib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The safety and efficacy of vemurafenib in combination with cetuximab in a subset of participants with colorectal cancer will also be assessed.
NCT01411410
This open label Phase 1 study involves treating subjects with advanced cancer with BAY80-6946 in combination with paclitaxel. It will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BAY80-6946 in combination with paclitaxel. The trial will involve multiple participating sites from the US. Following determination of the MTD, an expansion cohort of 20 evaluable subjects with breast cancer was planned. Finally, 16 patients have been enrolled to treatment (Cohort 3). A new expansion cohort with modified dosing cohort is now introduced (Cohort 4: breast cancer expansion cohort with modified dosing) in which another 20 subjects are planned to be enrolled to treatment.
NCT00097682
This study will explore what research patients understand about financial collaborations in the research setting and their concerns about these collaborations. Financial partnerships are crucial to advancing medical research; however, they are giving rise to increasing concerns about financial conflicts of interest and possible impacts on the integrity of research and patient safety. This study will examine patients' views about financial ties between drug companies and the doctors running research studies, as well as ties between the drug companies and the cancer centers where the studies are conducted. Patients 18 years of age and older who are enrolled in cancer studies at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA; the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA; the Columbia Comprehensive University Herbert Irving Cancer Center in New York, NY; and the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Denver, CO, may be eligible for this study. Participants are interviewed about the following: * Patients' awareness and understanding about individual and institutional financial conflicts of interest, and how such conflicts, if they exist, are being managed * The impact of a researcher's financial ties on the patient's decision to participate in that researcher's study * The impact of the institution's financial ties on the patient's decision to participate in research at that institution * Attitudes about policies and practices regarding conflicts of interest in the research setting * Attitudes about disclosure of conflicts of interest in the research setting * Patient symptoms and performance * Patient's cancer trial * Patient's cancer history * Patient's trust * Patient demographics (gender, age, race, religion, education, income, health insurance, employment).
NCT01572987
This clinical trial will evaluate a patient population with Barrett's esophagus(BE) containing high grade dysplasia or intramucosal cancer and compare the effects of endoscopically-guided radiofrequency ablation system(RFA) and endoscopically-guided stepwise endoscopic mucosal resection(S-EMR).
NCT00048880
Background: * Some cancers, such as Hodgkin's disease, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and others, have a protein on the surface of the cancer cell called CD30. * HeFi-1 is an antibody that binds to the CD30 protein and sends signals to the cancer cells that can cause them to die. Objectives: * To determine the highest dose of HeFi-1 that can safely be given to patients with tumors that have the CD30 protein. * To determine the response of the tumor to treatment with HeFi-1. Eligibility: * Patients 18 years of age and older with Hodgkin's disease, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, cutaneous T cell lymphoma and adult T cell leukemia or lymphoma who have signs of tumor growth or recurrence following standard treatment * Patients' tumor cells must have the CD30 protein. Design: * Groups of three patients are treated with increasingly higher doses of HeFi-1 (ranging from 0.5 to 5 mg/kg) to determine the highest safe dose. * HeFi-1 is infused through a vein on 4 days, followed by 2 days of rest over a 10-day period. Patients may receive up to 2 treatment courses if they show some response and do not have severe side effects. * Blood samples are collected several times during the study to determine safety. A lymph node biopsy is done at the beginning of the study to test the effect of HeFi-1 on cancer cells in the test tube, and a bone marrow biopsy may be done at the end of treatment if the bone marrow was positive for tumor cells at the beginning of treatment.
NCT01462318
The primary objective of the study is to assess the immunogenicity of Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) 150 mg administered every 4 weeks by subcutaneous (SC) injection using the pre-filled syringe (PFS) in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of DAC HYP following single and multiple doses of DAC HYP administered by the PFS in a subset of participants with RRMS and to evaluate the effect of DAC HYP on the PK of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A).
NCT02471222
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel group study of ADS-5102 extended release (ER) capsules, an investigational formulation of amantadine, dosed once daily at bedtime for the treatment of walking impairment in MS. ADS-5102 is designed to be administered once daily at bed time, ADS-5102 achieves higher plasma amantadine concentrations in the early morning, sustained throughout the afternoon, and lower concentrations in the evening when patients are sleeping. ADS-5102 is designed to deliver its primary treatment effect during the day, and potentially reduce the adverse events of immediate-release amantadine when the patient is asleep.
NCT01873417
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of symptomatic therapies on gastrointestinal (GI)-related events reported by participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) initiating therapy with dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in the clinical practice setting. The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: * To evaluate GI-related events requiring symptomatic therapy and the role of those therapies over time in participants with relapsing forms of MS initiating therapy with DMF in the clinical practice setting. * To evaluate GI-related events that lead to DMF discontinuation after the use of symptomatic therapy in participants with relapsing forms of MS initiating therapy with DMF in the clinical practice setting.
