NCT00529802
The purpose of this study is to learn if PET scanning can predict the degree of tumor shrinkage with the study drug RAD001 in subjects who have advanced renal cancer.
NCT00963274
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of giving bortezomib and romidepsin together in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), indolent B-cell lymphoma, peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Bortezomib and romidepsin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT00561678
Elderly patients who undergo anesthesia and non-cardiac surgery are subject to deterioration of brain function including the development of postoperative delirium (PD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). These disorders cause disability, distress for both patients and their families, are associated with other medical complications and account for significant additional health care costs. We currently use relatively primitive approaches to preventing and treating PD and POCD. Dexmedetomidine is a drug used for sedation in critically ill patients that provides some pain relief and controls the bodies response to stress. The sedation produced by dexmedetomidine appears more similar to natural sleep than any other drug used for anesthesia and postoperative sedation. Data suggesting that dexmedetomidine can prevent delirium following cardiac surgery and the developing understanding of the causes of PD and POCD suggest that dexmedetomidine will be particularly effective.
