Most vestibular schwannomas are benign and slow-growing. Based on that fact, conservative management with serial imaging is a viable alternative. For patients who undergo treatment because of tumor growth, progressive symptoms, or personal preference, options include serial obser…

The goal of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multi site, international study is to develop data to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ExAblate MRgFUS system in the ablation of breast cancer and of MRI. The goal of MRgFUS ablation of breast cancer is to pla…

Objective of this study is to determine if, in the era of novel drugs, high dose therapy (HDT) is still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients. HDT as compared to conventional dose treatment would be considered superior if it significantly pro…

This study aims at showing that Epicutaneous Immunotherapy with peanut proteins is safe and efficacious for desensitizing children with peanut allergy.

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if CMC-544 given alone, and possibly given in combination with rituximab, can help to control the disease in patients with ALL. The safety of the study drug(s) will also be studied.

The primary aim of this randomized phase III trial was to study whether the addition of maintenance chemotherapy delivered after surgical resection and focal radiation would be better than surgery and focal radiation alone. The trial also studied if patients who received inductio…

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…

Since thyroid cancer becomes refractory to radioactive iodine, treatment options are very limited. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib have recently shown promise. This trial seeks to expand treatment options for this disease with a new, oral drug called RAD001. It is an…

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the combination of Hycamtin (Topotecan) and Temozolomide is effective in the treatment of relapsed and refractory neuroblastoma and other paediatric solid tumors.

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 treatment-naïve patients with (Genotype 1) hepatitis C.

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.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known which dose of radiation thera…

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…
