Comparative Study of Cetuximab and Radiation Vs Surgery Before or After Radiation in Patients With Colorectal Carcinoma
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as Cetuximab, can target tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.This is an anti-cancer drug which has already been approved by the FDA for use in patients who have Colorectal Cancer. Cetuximab 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. Radiation Therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue . Giving the drug Cetuximab together with Radiation Therapy may kill more tumor cells. Surgery is the most common treatment for Colorectal Cancer to remove the tumor, as well as a small margin of surrounding normal tissue and possibly nearby lymph nodes. Surgery is usually used in conjunction with other conventional treatments such as Radiation Therapy. Radiation Therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Radiation Therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. Screening test such as Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) and Colonoscopy has to be done. Tumor markers for Colorectal Carcinoma are Carcinoembryonic antigen (CAE) and CA 19-9 and to assess the response of tumor markers Carcinoembryonic antigen (CAE) and CA 19-9 will be used and periodically Colonoscopy has to be done. Colorectal Cancer Surgery are Colon resection (Colectomy), Rectum resection (Proctectomy), Colostomy, and Radiofrequency ablation. PURPOSE: Determine the tumor response rate treated with Cetuximab and Radiation Therapy Vs Surgery before or after Radiation Therapy in patients with Colorectal Cancer from stage II to IV
A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Ixabepilone Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Plus Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine if Ixabepilone combined with carboplatin is better than paclitaxel combined with carboplatin in a subgroup of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors are positive for the βΙII isoform of tubulin
A Multiple Ascending Dose Study of BMS-650032 in HCV Infected Subjects
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the change in HCV RNA during dosing with BMS-650032 and during the follow-up period in subjects with chronic hepatitis C infection
A Belatacept Compassionate Use Study for Patients With a Kidney Transplant
To make belatacept available for recipients of a renal allograft who are currently intolerant to or have contraindications to CNIs and/or m-TOR inhibitors and are either:
- unable to construct an adequate immunosuppression regimen due to non-renal toxicity / contraindication (and withdrawing the causative agent would lead to renal graft loss)
OR
- at imminent risk of losing the allograft kidney due to nephrotoxicity and have no other options for renal replacement therapy
Suboptimal Responders to Adefovir Switching to Entecavir
Switching to Entecavir will result in superior antiviral efficacy as compared to continuing with Adefovir in patients with a suboptimal response to Adefovir
Solid Tumors Using Ixabepilone and Dasatinib
Patients are being asked to take part in this study because they have been diagnosed with an advanced solid tumor that is not responding to standard treatments. This study will find the highest dose of ixabepilone and dasatinib in combination that can be given without causing severe side effects. Both ixabepilone and dasatinib have individually been tested in many (several thousand) patients, however the combination of the two drugs has not yet been tested in humans. All patients who will take part in this study will receive combined drug therapy of dasatinib and ixabepilone. Dasatinib is a pill that is taken by mouth. Ixabepilone is a medicine that will be given by vein (IV). Participants will be placed in 1 of 2 groups. Placement into group 2 will not begin until all spaces in group 1 are filled. Group 1 will receive ixabepilone by vein once every three weeks as well as dasatinib by mouth once daily. Group 2 will receive ixabepilone on day 1 of a 3-week cycle (21 days). Dasatinib will be taken twice daily in group 2.
CASTLE (Clopidogrel And Serum Troponin Level Elevation)
Primary Objective: To test if 600 mg of clopidogrel loading dose administered ≥ 6 and ≤ 24 hours prior to PCI produce a greater decrease of periprocedural release of biochemical markers (CK, CK-MB, and troponin-T and/or I) of myocardial necrosis, compared to 300 mg loading dose, given ≥ 6 and
- 24 hours prior to PCI or 600 mg loading dose of clopidogrel, administered immediately (≤ 45 minutes) before PCI.
Cetuximab in Patients With Lung Adenocarcinoma Receiving Erlotinib That Have Developed "Acquired Resistance" to Erlotinib
The purpose of this study is to test if cetuximab (Erbitux) can shrink lung cancers that initially became smaller after taking erlotinib and then started to get bigger despite continuing treatment. Cetuximab is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug administration for treatment of head and neck and colon cancer. The goal of the phase I portion of this trial is to find out the highest dose of cetuximab that can be taken together with erlotinib. This study will also give an idea of how well cetuximab shrinks lung cancer when given with erlotinib. The purpose of this study is to test if cetuximab (Erbitux) can shrink lung cancers that initially became smaller after taking erlotinib or gefitinib and then started to get bigger despite continuing treatment. Cetuximab is a medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug administration for treatment of head and neck and colon cancer. The goal of this phase is to determine if cetuximab given with erlotinib causes lung cancers to shrink in size.
