NCT00023725
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as SU5416 may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without SU5416 in treating soft tissue sarcoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without SU5416 in treating patients who have stage IB or stage IIA soft tissue sarcoma.
NCT00032123
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of erlotinib in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic stomach cancer or cancer of the gastroesophageal junction.
NCT00077337
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as FR901228, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well FR901228 works in treating patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00026520
RATIONALE: Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining interferon alfa with thalidomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining interferon alfa with thalidomide in treating patients who have stage IV melanoma.
NCT00016939
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of flavopiridol in treating patients who have unresectable or metastatic kidney cancer.
NCT00016965
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-247550 in treating patients who have advanced pancreatic cancer.
NCT00996580
This is an open-label, single-treatment study. All subjects will receive 12 months of oral contraceptive therapy with DR-103. Study participants will receive physical and gynecological exams, including Pap smear. During the study, all participants will be required to complete a diary.
NCT00023699
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as gefitinib may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and may slow the growth of ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gefitinib in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.
NCT00737516
The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) has established a system for registering, matching, and tracking unrelated donor cord blood units (CBUs) and transplant outcomes. Study subjects are donors who enroll through collaborating cord blood banks. This study creates uniform collection, screening, testing and storage requirements for cord blood units. The purpose of standardization is to improve efficiency in the selection of cord blood units for transplantation.
NCT00743002
This trial is designed to show the effect of treatment with TT223 or placebo on blood glucose control after 12 weeks of treatment with a 6 month follow-up. TT223 is administered by injection once daily to patients currently treated with Metformin and/or Thiazolidinedione.
NCT00005837
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory cervical cancer.
NCT01367184
Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is an important therapeutic device used in the management of venous thrombo-embolism (VTE) in patients that are contra-indicated for anti-coagulation therapy. While there has been significant increase in the use of filters , unfortunately there are no standardized collection of data to track, compare outcomes, report safety and efficacy.
NCT01106625
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2 different doses of canagliflozin compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are receiving treatment with metformin and sulphonylurea and have inadequate glycemic (blood sugar) control.
NCT00530764
The purpose of this study is to determine the effective dose range and to demonstrate a non-effective dose range of Sativex in patients with advanced cancer, who experience inadequate pain relief even though they are on optimized chronic opioid therapy.
NCT00006268
RATIONALE: Immunotoxins can locate tumor cells and kill them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for malignant glioma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of immunotoxin therapy in treating patients who have malignant glioma.
NCT00005855
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of efaproxiral when given with carmustine and to see how well they work in treating patients with progressive or recurrent malignant glioma.
NCT00003301
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients with recurrent malignant glioma.
NCT00003881
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining monoclonal antibody therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00003837
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of 506U78 in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.
NCT00871182
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of inhaled PT001 compared to placebo and tiotropium in patients with mild to moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
