NCT00951496
This randomized phase III trial studies bevacizumab and intravenous (given into a vein) chemotherapy to see how well they work compared with bevacizumab and intraperitoneal (given into the abdominal cavity) chemotherapy in treating patients with stage II-III ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab together with intravenous chemotherapy is more effective than giving bevacizumab together with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
NCT02130557
Phase 3, 2-arm, randomized, open label trial. Patients will be randomized to receive bosutinib or imatinib for the duration of the study.
NCT01967823
Background: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy for treating patients with cancer that involves taking white blood cells from the patient, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, genetically modifying them, and then giving the cells back to the patient. In a previous study the NCI Surgery Branch used the anti-ESO-1 gene and a type of virus (retrovirus) to make these tumor fighting cells (anti-ESO-1 cells). About half of the patients who received this treatment experienced shrinking of their tumors. In this study, we are using a slightly different method of producing the anti-ESO-1 cells which we hope will be better in making the tumors shrink. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to see if these tumor fighting cells (genetically modified cells) that express the receptor for the ESO-1 molecule on their surface can cause tumors to shrink and to see if this treatment is safe. Eligibility: \- Patients 15 years old and older with cancer that has the ESO-1 molecule on their tumors. Design: * Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed * Leukapheresis: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo leukapheresis to obtain white blood cells to make the anti ESO-1 cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.} * Treatment: Once their cells have grown the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the anti-ESO-1 cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. * Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits take up to 2 days.
NCT01088048
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of idelalisib in combination with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb), a chemotherapeutic agent, a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, a protease inhibitor, an antiangiogenic agent, and/or an immunomodulatory agent in participants with relapsed or refractory indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
NCT03481725
Postoperative pain is usually treated with opioids that have undesirable and sometimes dangerous side effects (e.g., vomiting and respiratory depression)-and yet over 80% of patients still experience inadequate pain relief. A novel, non-pharmacologic analgesic technique-percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS)- holds extraordinary potential to greatly reduce or obviate opioid requirements and concurrently improve analgesia following painful surgery. This technique involves inserting an insulated electric lead adjacent to a target nerve through a needle prior to surgery using ultrasound guidance. Following surgery, a tiny electric current is delivered to the nerve resulting in potent pain control without any cognitive or adverse systemic side effects whatsoever. The electrical pulse generator (stimulator) is so small it is simply affixed to the patient's skin. The leads are already cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat acute (postoperative) pain for up to 60 days; and, since percutaneous PNS may be provided on an outpatient basis, the technique holds the promise of providing potent analgesia outlasting the pain of surgery-in other words, the possibility of a painless, opioid-free recovery following surgery. The current project is a multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm clinical pilot study to (1) determine the feasibility and optimize the protocol of a planned definitive clinical trial; and (2) estimate the treatment effect of percutaneous PNS on pain and opioid consumption following moderate-to-severely painful ambulatory surgery compared with usual and customary opioid-based analgesia. This will allow determination of the required sample size for a subsequent definitive multicenter clinical trial. Combined, the pilot study and definitive trial have a strong potential to dramatically reduce or obviate postoperative opioid requirements and their resultant negative effects on both individuals and society; while concurrently improving analgesia, increasing the ability to function in daily life, decreasing the risk of transition from acute to chronic pain, and improving quality of life.
NCT01167595
Critically ill patients are consistently underfed. Feeding protocols are standardized system tools used to guide nutrition practices, but to date have failed to improve delivery of nutrition. The PEP uP Protocol is a new enhanced feeding protocol. Twenty North American Intensive Care Units (ICUs) will assess baseline nutrition practices. Ten ICUs will be randomized to implement the PEP uP Protocol and educational intervention, and ten will be randomized to continue usual care. Nutrition practices will be reevaluated 6 months after baseline. The investigators hypothesize that the PEP uP Protocol will increase delivery of nutrition, and may ultimately lead to improved survival of critical illness.
NCT03325816
This research study is being done to assess the safety and tolerability of study drugs, 177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-Octreotate (Lutathera) and nivolumab in subjects with small cell lung cancer or advanced or inoperable neuroendocrine tumor of the lung that has overexpressed somatostatin receptors (SSRT). Lutathera is an investigational radioactive agent that targets tumor cells that express SSRT. Nivolumab is an investigational agent that targets and inhibits a pathway that prevents your immune system from effectively fighting your cancer. The combination of these 2 study drugs is investigational. The term "Investigational" in this context means that the drugs have not been approved for clinical use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Giving Lutathera and nivolumab together may increase the effectiveness of this therapy. We first need to find out the highest dose of Lutathera that can be given safely together with nivolumab. This study will be the first study to test giving Lutathera together with nivolumab. Once we have found the highest dose of Lutathera that can be given with nivolumab, we will treat more patients with this combination to determine how effective it is. The purposes of this study are: To find the highest doses of Lutathera that can be given with nivolumab without causing severe side effects. To find out the side effects seen by giving Lutathera at different dose levels with nivolumab. To determine if the amount of something in your tumor called PD-L1 makes you more likely to have a response to the combination of Lutathera and nivolumab.

NCT04152694
Dosing of ceftaroline in patients with chronic kidney disease is defined, but there is no data on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the drug in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The purpose of this study is to determine pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ceftaroline in a critically ill patient population receiving CRRT, in order to define a dosing recommendation in this population.
NCT01244191
This study is to determine if the combination regimen of tivantinib with erlotinib will improve overall survival relative to erlotinib alone in subjects with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer who have received 1 or 2 prior systemic anti-cancer therapies.
NCT02190695
The purpose of this study is to find a new way to treat Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) and Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML). All the drugs are used to treat AML and MDS but are not usually combined together. The investigators are looking at both the safety and Efficacy of each combination.
NCT00866307
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of pegaspargase when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Pegaspargase may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with pegaspargase may kill more cancer cells.
NCT02669017

NCT03466320
This open-label Phase I study aims at assessing primarily the safety of the NKR-2 treatment administered after a non-myeloablative preconditioning regimen in r/r AML/MDS patients. This Phase I study will contain two different sequential segments. The first segment will determine the recommended investigational treatment option (schedule of preconditioning and NKR-2 dose) and the second segment will expand to a larger number of r/r AML/MDS patients.
NCT01835626
Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery are standard treatments for basal cell carcinoma at most institutions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding vismodegib to radiation (chemoradiotherapy) is safe and tolerable. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of combined radiation therapy and vismodegib. This combination may increase the chances of the tumors being destroyed or unable to spread to other parts of the body in people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
NCT03250338
This is a randomized, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy of crenolanib administered following salvage chemotherapy, consolidation chemotherapy, post bone marrow transplantation and as maintenance in relapsed/refractory AML subjects with FLT3 activating mutation.
NCT01573338
This is the first study where BAY1000394 is given in combination with chemotherapy: cisplatin / etoposide or carboplatin / etoposide. Patients with small cell lung cancer will be treated. Every patient will receive drug treatment, there is no placebo group. Different groups of patients will receive different dosages of BAY1000394 to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BAY1000394 in combination with chemotherapy. The dose of chemotherapy is the standard dose usually administered and will not change. The study will also assess how the drug is metabolized by the body and changes in tumor size. BAY1000394 will be given per mouth, twice a day for three days every week. Treatment will stop if the tumor continues to grow, if side effects occur which the patient can not tolerate or if the patients decides to exit treatment.
NCT02500550
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a repeat dose administration of ATIR101 is safe and effective when infused in patients with a hematologic malignancy following a T-cell depleted stem cell graft from a related haploidentical donor. All patients are planned to receive two ATIR101 doses of 2×10E6 viable T-cells/kg, unless the second dose is reduced or halted for safety reasons.
