NCT00002527
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. The use of aspirin may be an effective way to prevent the recurrence of polyps in colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of aspirin in treating patients who have stage I, stage II, or stage III colorectal cancer that has been surgically removed.
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.
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.
NCT00053885
RATIONALE: PTK787/ZK 222584 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PTK787/ZK 222584 in treating patients with unresectable malignant mesothelioma.
NCT00002501
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of cyclophosphamide and filgrastim in treating patients with stage IV, relapsed, or refractory low-grade follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
NCT00519077
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the activity (response rate and rate of stable disease) of Iressa administered as a single agent escalated to a dose that produces grade 2 skin toxicity in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
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.
NCT01330316
The objective of this trial is to collect evidence for the safety and efficacy of 24 weeks of treatment with BI 201335 240 mg in combination with 24 or 48 weeks of Pegylated Interferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment experienced patients who have been withdrawn from PegIFN and RBV treatment due to lack of efficacy in the 1220.7, 1220.30 and 1220.47 trials.
NCT00426660
To provide access to maraviroc to patients who have limited or no therapeutic treatment options and to collect more safety data in a broader patient population.
NCT00002622
RATIONALE: Talc may relieve malignant pleural effusion. It is not yet known whether wet talc is more effective than dry talc in treating patients with malignant pleural effusion. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of wet talc with dry talc in treating patients with malignant pleural effusion.
NCT00089310
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures such as sentinel lymph node mapping may improve the ability to detect cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well sentinel lymph node mapping works in detecting cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes in patients who are undergoing surgery for stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00025025
RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors detect cancer cells early and plan more effective treatment for colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized screening trial to compare the effectiveness of fecal occult blood testing with that of DNA-based testing of stool and blood in identifying colorectal cancer.
NCT00058357
RATIONALE: A lidocaine patch may be effective in relieving numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of neuropathy. It is not yet known whether a lidocaine patch is effective in treating neuropathy in patients who have undergone surgery for cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying lidocaine patch to see how well it works compared to a placebo patch in relieving numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of neuropathy in patients who have undergone surgery for cancer.
NCT00087607
This study will examine the viral kinetics and pharmacokinetics of Pegasys plus ribavirin and PEG-Intron plus ribavirin in interferon-naive patients with CHC. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
NCT01955707
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether one 300 mg dose of intravenous (IV) natalizumab reduces change in infarct volume from Baseline to Day 5 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in participants with acute ischemic stroke when given at ≤6 hours or at \>6 to ≤9 hours from when they were last known normal (LKN). The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are as follows: to assess the efficacy of natalizumab on change in infarct volume from Baseline to Day 30; to assess efficacy of natalizumab on change in infarct volume from 24 hours to Day 5 and Day 30; to assess the efficacy of natalizumab on clinical measures of stroke outcome; to assess the safety of natalizumab in participants with acute ischemic stroke.
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.
NCT00003006
RATIONALE: Detecting very early metastases in bone marrow and/or lymph nodes may help doctors plan better treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to detect the presence of metastatic cancer in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer that has not been previously treated.
NCT01587079
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Glycopyrrolate/Formoterol Fumarate MDI relative to individual components (GP MDI and FF MDI) in subjects with moderate to severe COPD
NCT00701415
The purpose of this study was to determine whether 2 alternative dosing regimens of Fabrazyme (Agalsidase beta) (1.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks or 0.5 mg/kg every 2 weeks) were effective in treatment-naïve pediatric participants without severe symptoms. Participants were to be treated for 5 years.
NCT00321919
This study will evaluate whether anemia prevention with NeoRecormon has an additional impact on reducing cardiovascular risk over conventional anemia treatment in patients mostly with stage IV chronic kidney disease and renal anemia. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
