|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00258245 ↗ | Arsenic Trioxide and Ascorbic Acid Combined With Bortezomib, Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma or Plasma Cell Leukemia | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 1 | 2005-05-01 | RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Ascorbic acid may help arsenic trioxide work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drug. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by stopping blood flow to the cancer. Giving arsenic trioxide and ascorbic acid together with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone may stop the growth of and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of arsenic trioxide when given together with ascorbic acid, bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma or plasma cell leukemia. |

| NCT00266838 ↗ | Prevention of Docetaxel Induced Dacryostenosis | Completed | Universitaire Ziekenhuizen Leuven | Phase 1 | 2006-07-01 | The antineoplastic agent Docetaxel (Taxotere®) is approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic and locally advanced breast cancer and other malignancies. There are 2 frequently used schedules of treatment with Docetaxel. Docetaxel can be administered every 3 weeks or in a weekly regimen. The efficacy seems to be similar but the toxicity profile changes. In the standard 3-weekly Docetaxel regimen the dose-limiting side effect is myelosuppression, while in the weekly regimen there is only a mild myelosuppression. On the other hand, weekly Docetaxel has a side effect that is rare in the 3-weekly schedule: epiphora (= tearing eye) caused by dacryostenosis. The underlying mechanism of dacryostenosis induced by weekly Docetaxel is fibrosis of the lacrimal puncta and canaliculi. Docetaxel has been reported to be secreted in the lacrimal tears. Direct contact between Docetaxel containing tears and the epithelial lining causes chronic inflammation of the mucosa and ultimately fibrosis of the most narrow part of the lacrimal outflow system i.e. the lacrimal puncta and canaliculi. A surgical treatment is possible for dacryostenosis. In case of subtotal stenosis of the lacrimal canaliculi, silicone intubation of the canaliculi is performed in order to prevent further closure. In the case of complete stenosis, placement of a permanent pyrex glass tube of Jones is required. To our knowledge, there is no primary prevention for Docetaxel induced dacryostenosis. The rationale of this randomized double blind interventional study is to investigate the efficacy of corticosteroid versus artificial tears topical eye treatment in patients on a weekly Docetaxel regimen in prevention of dacryostenosis. The dacryotoxic agent Docetaxel in the lacrimal tears will be washed away by the repetitive use of eye drops. In addition, eye drops containing corticosteroids have an anti-inflammatory effect and may further prevent the formation of fibrosis. A new treatment protocol will be investigated. Two different commercially available eye drops will be compared: dexamethasone sodium phosphate (Maxidex®, Alcon) in one eye of the patient and artificial tears (Lacrystat®, Viatris) in the other eye of the same patient. The study period will start with topical eye treatment from day 1 of cycle 1 and will continue during the administration of chemotherapy, with a final analysis at 26 weeks. |
| NCT00293384 ↗ | Aprepitant, Granisetron, & Dexamethasone in Preventing Nausea & Vomiting in Pts. Receiving Cyclophosphamide Before a Stem Cell Transplant | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | N/A | 2004-10-01 | RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant, granisetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving aprepitant together with granisetron and dexamethasone works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving cyclophosphamide before undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant. |

| NCT00335140 ↗ | Rituximab and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma | Terminated | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 2 | 2006-12-01 | RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, leucovorin, vincristine, procarbazine, dexamethasone, and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. |
