RATIONALE: It is not yet know whether higher per daily radiation therapy is equally as effective as standard per daily radiation therapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well an accelerated course of higher per daily radiation thera…

The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancer. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease: antibodies and T cells. Antibodies are proteins the protect the body from diseases caused by germs …

The purpose of this study is to show that abiraterone acetate plus prednisone added to the current standard of care, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) decreases prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prolongs the time until it is evident that the cancer has grown. Additionally, …

All study treatments have proven efficacy in the treatment in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). It is hoped that patients will achieve a good response to both induction therapies consisting either of 4 cycles of BEACOPPesc (Bleomycin, Etoposide, Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, P…

In this research study the investigators are looking at a type of radiation called proton radiation. Proton radiation has been shown to deliver virtually no radiation beyond the area of the tumor, sparing surrounding normal tissue from exposure. This may reduce side effects that …

The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate the superiority of Foster® 100/6 (two puffs b.i.d.) versus Seretide® 500/50 (one inhalation b.i.d.), in terms of pulmonary function (AUC0-30min standardized by time of change from pre-dose in FEV1) after drug inhalation in the…

Background: Complete molecular remission under imatinib, therapeutic interruption possible for patients in complete remission proved in different trials. Purpose: Stopping imatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in complete molecular remission during two following yea…

Xenon is a gaseous anaesthetic agent registered in several European countries. It has been administered safely during cardiac surgery in pilot studies. In animal studies, xenon decreases the size of experimental myocardial infarction. This 3-arm study will compare xenon, sevoflu…

Use lay language. Background: Heart failure is an increasingly frequent current pathology due to the population aging and the improvement of acute and chronic heart failure management. Heart failure patients have a poor quality of life because of their symptoms (asthenia, dyspnea…

Infarct size is a major determinant of prognosis after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). The investigators recently reported that cyclosporine A, when administered immediately prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), can significantly reduce infarct size in STEMI (ST E…

In the primary progressive multiple sclerosis, the detection of oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid is critical for the diagnosis. However, lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid collection is considered relatively invasive. Our hypothesis is that oligoclonal bands detectio…

Background: \- An experimental treatment for metastatic melanoma involves cell therapy, in which researchers take white blood cells (lymphocytes) from the tumor tissue, grow them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then use the cells to attack the tumor tissue. Before receiv…

This is a multi-institutional phase III clinical study of interventional type. The trial will include 220 patients with confirmed unifocal glioblastoma over a period of 3 years + 3 years of follow up. Patients with unifocal glioblastoma (diagnosis confirmed by histology on tumor…

The purpose of this study is to see if Panitumumab plus the other treatments will increase the time of remission. Remission means that there is no sign of the cancer.

It is hypothesized that engraftment when administering cyclophosphamide post the stem cell infusion will increase, the incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and day 100 mortality will decrease, and the use of cyclophosphamide post stem cell infusion with alternative donor…

This trial will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of a strategy of allogeneic stem cell transplantation including Rituximab in the conditioning regimen for the treatment of relapsed follicular lymphoma. The rationale for using Rituximab relies on a better control of the diseas…

The purpose of Reduce IDentified UNcontrolled Asthma (RIDUNA) is to determine the benefit of real-time identification of uncontrolled asthma by electronic administrative records linked to real-time notification of uncontrolled status to patients and asthma specialists with recomm…

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a combination of chemotherapy, capecitabine and oxaliplatin, plus the antibodies bevacizumab and trastuzumab. Trastuzumab (also called Herceptin) is an antibody that attacks HER2 protein in tumor cells. Bev…

This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well lenalidomide works and compares it to observation in treating patients with asymptomatic high-risk asymptomatic (smoldering) multiple myeloma. Biological therapies such as lenalidomide, may stimulate the immune system in differe…

The goal of this clinical research study is to compare 6 different 2-drug "sequences" of everolimus, bevacizumab, or pazopanib to learn how they may affect metastatic kidney cancer. For the 2-drug sequence, participants will receive 1 of these drugs and may start taking another o…
