Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This phase II trial studies how well dasatinib works in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, endometrial, or peritoneal cancer that has come back or is persistent. Dasatinib may shrink patients' tumors by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related liver disease is the most common indication for liver transplantation (LT). However, LT does not cure the infection, and therapeutic strategies resulted in very limited efficacy and tolerability in LT recipients. In view of its postulated safety profile, Silibinin seems an ideal drug to be used in the setting of HCV recurrent patients after liver transplantation.

The primary objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of brachytherapy versus brachytherapy + triptorelin 22.5 mg (single injection) in subjects with recurrence of prostate cancer previously treated with radiotherapy. Efficacy was to be assessed by biochemical failure-free survival (BFFS) curves from treatment initiation up to 5 years. Secondary objectives included comparing the following: the differences in time to progression of subjects receiving brachytherapy + triptorelin 22.5 mg versus subjects receiving brachytherapy only, the BFFS percentages between both treatment groups at 5 years from treatment initiation, overall survival between both treatment groups, total testosterone changes (from baseline visit up to 12 months) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels (from baseline visit up to 60 months of treatment) between both treatment groups, quality of life (QoL) modifications (Spanish version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire) between the baseline score and the rest of measurements, and to compare safety between both treatment groups.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility, tolerability and safety of surgical debulking and resection with heated intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) followed by repeated intraperitoneal chemotherapy for treatment of recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube carcinomas.

Treatment is considered successful if the difference in the response in the reduction of the affected area is above 30% for any of the doses compared to placebo Patients will be randomised to 1 of 3 treatment arms Placebo CIGB-300 - 5 mg CIGB-300 - 15 mg A two week screening visit will take place to assess patient eligibility, at least 2 to 5 target lesions (area of the lesion between 20 to 80 mm2), should be identified. Patients included in the study will be randomly assigned to one of three study arms. Treatment consists of 3 perilesional applications at the base of the target lesion every 48 hours with a window of ±24hs. After each application the potential local and systemic adverse events will be identified and monitored. After the last application is made, weekly clinical evaluations for 3 weeks and then every two weeks, until week 12 will take place. At this time, clinical assessment of efficacy will be carried out that will define the response to treatment. After this visit, patients will be followed every 3 months until one year after the last treatment has been completed to confirm response and long-term security of the CIGB-300 application. At screening, at 2 and 8 weeks as well as at 6 and 12 months post-treatment blood studies will be conducted to assess the safety from the systemic point of view.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of monoclonal antibody therapy before stem cell transplant in treating patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoid malignancies. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium-90 anti-CD45 monoclonal antibody BC8, can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving radiolabeled monoclonal antibody before a stem cell transplant may be an effective treatment for relapsed or refractory lymphoid malignancies.

This phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 and to see how well it works in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, CNS tumors, lymphoma, or T-cell leukemia. Gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Giving vorinostat together with lenalidomide may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with lenalidomide in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

This phase II trial is studying how well SJG-126 works in treating patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that did not respond to previous treatment with cisplatin or carboplatin. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SJG-136, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

This phase II trial studies how well giving lenalidomide with or without rituximab works in treating patients with progressive or relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving lenalidomide together with or without rituximab may kill more cancer cells.
