Multiple Cancer Types - Featured Clinical Trials

1.  Studying Immune System Reconstitution Following Unrelated Donor Transplantation and Graft-Versus-Host-Disease Prevention
(Posted: 01/13/2009) - Patients with high-risk, advanced hematologic malignancies will undergo induction chemotherapy, reduced-intensity immune-depleting chemotherapy, and allogeneic stem cell transplantation from a matched, unrelated donor, followed by graft-versus-host disease prevention.

2.  Targeted Treatment for Advanced Solid Tumors
(Posted: 12/16/2008) - This clinical trial combines the drug dasatinib with the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab for patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors.

3.  Batracylin for Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma
(Posted: 04/01/2008) - In this phase I trial, patients with solid tumors or lymphomas for which standard therapies do not exist or are of minimum benefit and who are slow acetylators, as determined by a blood test, will be treated with increasing doses of the drug batracylin.

4.  Inhibiting Tumor Angiogenesis in Children
(Posted: 01/22/2008) - In this trial, researchers are testing an angiogenesis inhibitor called cediranib in pediatric patients who have solid tumors (except brain tumors) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a type of blood cancer.

5.  Radiation Therapies to Treat Brain Metastases
(Posted: 08/21/2007) - In this clinical trial, doctors are comparing stereotactic radiosurgery alone against stereotactic radiosurgery followed by whole-brain radiotherapy in patients with 1-3 cerebral metastases resulting from cancer elsewhere in the body.
