Active clinical trials for "Recurrence"

This is a Phase 1 dose escalation study of an investigational agent, everolimus, given in combination with standard radiation therapy, in prostate cancers with a rising PSA following a prostatectomy. A maximum of 33 people will be enrolled on this study at the University of Pennsylvania. The primary objective of this study is to determine the acute and chronic toxicities and maximum tolerated dose of everolimus with concurrent radiation.

The present study objective is evaluate Adalimumab efficacy versus Azathioprine efficacy on prevention of endoscopic recurrence (Rutgeerts Index= 2b, 3 or 4) in Crohn´s Disease patients after 52 weeks of treatment.

This is a pilot study of a vaccination regime that is designed to efficiently induce anti-tumor T-cell responses in patients with WHO grade II glioma. The proposed regime with BTIC Lysate in combination with imiquimod, an FDA-approved immune response modifier will induce potent anti-glioma immune response with minimal or no toxicity.

This phase II trial studies how well giving fludarabine phosphate, melphalan, and low-dose total-body irradiation (TBI) followed by donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant (PBSCT) works in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Giving chemotherapy drugs such as fludarabine phosphate and melphalan, and low-dose TBI before a donor PBSCT helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from the 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. Sometimes the transplanted cell from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and methotrexate after transplant may stop this from happening

This study looks at what effects (good and bad) a drug called PXD-101 (belinostat) in combination with the radioactive drug Zevalin (yttrium Y 90 ibritumomab tiuxetan) has on patients with relapsed aggressive (high-risk) non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Studies in the laboratory suggest that drugs such as PXD101 can act upon specific cancer cell processes to cause either death of the cancer cells or prevention of their growth. In human studies with a small number of patients with this lymphoma, PXD-101 has shown the ability to shrink and slow tumor growth. When Zevalin is delivered directly to the tumor, the lymphoma cells are destroyed and this may result in the disappearance of the tumor (remission)

The objectives of this Phase I/II study are: To find out the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PG2 in patients with advanced malignancy receiving chemotherapy and to define a "Study Dose" for Phase II. To evaluate the hematopoietic and immunological responses after administering of PG2. Primarily to study the biological response of PG2, defined as WBC count in this study, and secondarily to study the immunological factors, IL-2, IL-6, TGF-beta, and G-CSF.

This randomized phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 when given together with vismodegib and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vismodegib together with gamma-secretase/notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097 may be an effective treatment for sarcoma.

This phase II trial is studying the side effects of and how well alisertib works in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. Alisertib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

RATIONALE: Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine ditartrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving temsirolimus together with vinorelbine ditartrate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving temsirolimus and vinorelbine ditartrate together in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.

This phase II trial studies how well sulforaphane works in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer. Sulforaphane may prevent or slow the growth of certain cancers.
