Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This phase II trial studies how well targeted therapy works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia that has come back after a period of improvement or does not respond to treatment. Testing patients' blood or bone marrow to find out if their type of cancer may be sensitive to a specific drug may help doctors choose more effective treatments. Dasatinib, sunitinib malate, sorafenib tosylate, ponatinib hydrochloride, pacritinib, ruxolitinib, and idelalisib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving targeted therapy based on cancer type may be an effective treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myelogenous leukemia.

This phase I trial studies how well talactoferrin works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or squamous cell head and neck cancer. Biological therapies, such as talactoferrin, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing

This phase II trial studies how well axitinib works in treating patients with melanoma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Axitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This is a 2-part study. In the first part (Part I, 8 subjects), biopsies will be obtained from the resection site after keloid shaving and two weeks following resection to assess and select biomarkers to determine the biologic effects that occur in shaved keloids. No drug will be administered. In Part II (32 patients) will be randomized to receive QAX576 or placebo. An initial drug infusion will be followed by shave removal of keloids 6 - 8 days later followed by two additional drug infusions 4 weeks apart. Two weeks following resection, punch biopsies will be performed to assess biomarker responses. Patients will be followed-up for 52 weeks after first drug administration to assess keloid recurrence (clinically and by 3D imaging), and by physician's and patient's cosmetic assessments, and safety.

This randomized phase III trial is studying gemcitabine hydrochloride, docetaxel, and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared with gemcitabine hydrochloride, docetaxel, and a placebo in treating patients with advanced or recurrent uterine leiomyosarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether gemcitabine hydrochloride and docetaxel are more effective when given with or without bevacizumab in treating uterine leiomyosarcoma.

This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin and paclitaxel to compare how well they work with or without bevacizumab and/or cetuximab in treating patients with stage IV or non-small cell lung cancer that has returned after a period of improvement (recurrent). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumor needs to grow. Cetuximab may also stop cancer cells from growing by binding and interfering with a protein on the surface of the tumor cell that is needed for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel are more effective with or without bevacizumab and/or cetuximab in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

This study is designed to measure the impact of Satraplatin plus radiation therapy to the bed of the prostate in patients who have developed biochemical failure of their prostate cancer. The main objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicity for the combination of satraplatin and radiation therapy and to determine the recommended dose for subsequent Phase II trials.

To investigate whether Betadine can reduce infection rates and recurrence rates following varicose veins surgery in a randomized double blind placebo controlled study.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of SJG-136 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, blastic phase chronic myelogenous leukemia, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as SJG-136, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well vorinostat works in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic cancer of the urothelium.
