This phase III trial is studying the side effects of giving monoclonal antibody Ch14.18 together with sargramostim, aldesleukin, and isotretinoin after autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with neuroblastoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as Ch14.18, may find tumor …

The AC-065A302 (GRIPHON) study is an event-driven Phase 3 study to demonstrate the effect of selexipag on time to first morbidity or mortality event in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with or without donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop t…

This pilot study initiates a research program testing the early technical and clinical performance of a novel procedure for MRI-guided high-dose-rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy. Testing will proceed in two cohorts of patients. In Arm 1, patients with locally recurrent prostate …

This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of low-dose linezolid (600 mg once daily) administered for 16 weeks as part of an optimized background regimen for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

This is a Phase II, single-arm, two-cohort multicenter clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of vismodegib (GDC-0449) in patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma. All patients receive vismodegib until evidence of progression, intolerable toxicities most probably at…

Patients are being asked to participate in this study because they will be receiving a stem cell transplant as treatment for their disease. As part of the stem cell transplant, they will be given very strong doses of chemotherapy, which will kill off all their existing stem cells…

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C, who relapsed after previous treatment.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MP-424 with Peginterferon Alfa-2b (PEG-IFN) and Ribavirin (RBV) in treatment-naïve patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cultivated stem cell transplantation is effective for the treatment of patients wtih corneal stem cell deficiency.

This randomized phase III trial studies sunitinib malate to see how well it works when given as maintenance therapy (meaning it is approved for treatment after chemotherapy) in patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer who have responded to prior treatment with combi…

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studyi…

We project to test the effect of prone position on mortality in severe ARDS patients (PaO2/FiO2\<150 with FiO2 \> or = 0.6 and positive end-expiratory pressure \> or = 5 cmH2O). Ventilator will be set in accordance with current standards aiming at protecting the lungs from VALI. …

RATIONALE: In this study a combination of anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapy) is used to treat brain tumors in young children. Using chemotherapy gives the brain more time to develop before radiation is given. The chemotherapy in this study includes the drug methotrexate. This drug …

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well fludarabine phosphate, cytarabine, filgrastim-sndz, gemtuzumab ozogamicin, and idarubicin hydrochloride work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Drugs use…

RATIONALE: Using T cells from the patient that have been treated in the laboratory may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by…

The purpose of this study is to learn how hereditary or sporadic medullary thyroid cancer patients, treated with ZD6474, react to the drug, what happens to ZD6474 in the human body, about the side effects of ZD6474, and if ZD6474 can decrease or prevent the growth of tumors.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well bortezomib works when given after combination chemotherapy, rituximab, and an autologous stem cell transplant in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enz…

The purpose of this research study is to find how active and safe 131 I-MIBG is in patients with resistant neuroblastoma, malignant pheochromocytoma and malignant paraganglioma.

Primary Objectives: 1. To identify the optimal dose and pharmacokinetics of RAD001 in combination with trastuzumab in a Phase I trial 2. To determine the efficacy of RAD001 plus trastuzumab in HER-2-overexpressing patients with resistance to trastuzumab-based therapy for metasta…
