Dexamethasone Treatment Options in Maryland

In this study, investigators will evaluate the activity of bendamustine, bortezomib and dexamethasone (BBD). This regimen combines 3 agents with high activity in multiple myeloma, with different mechanisms of action and non-overlapping toxicities. Read Less

This randomized phase III trial is studying different chemotherapy regimens given with or without radiation therapy to compare how well they work in treating children with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's disease. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. It is not yet known if chemotherapy is more effective with or without additional chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy in treating Hodgkin's disease. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine if Thalidomide + Dexamethasone or DOXIL (doxorubicin HCl liposome injection) + Thalidomide + Dexamethasone is more effective in treating newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma. The number of patients whose multiple myeloma disappears for a period of time (complete Response) will be studied to make the determination of which treatment is more effective. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has relapsed in the CNS and/or testes.

This randomized phase III trial is studying APF530 and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared with palonosetron and dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Read Less

To provide medical follow-up to patients exposed to BGG492 for more than 28 days in study CBGG492A2207 (NCT 01147003) and/or CBGG492A2212 (NCT 01338805). Read Less

This study will be conducted in 2 parts. The phase 1b part will be an international, phase 1b, open-label, dose-escalation assessment of radium-223 dichloride administered with bortezomib and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed multiple myeloma. The primary endpoint of the phase 1b part is to determine the optimal dose of radium-223 dichloride in combination with bortezomib/dexamethasone for the Phase 2 portion of the study. The phase 2 part will be an international, phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled assessment of radium-223 dichloride versus placebo administered with bortezomib and dexamethasone, in subjects with relapsed multiple myeloma. Randomization (1:1) in the phase 2 part will be stratified by: * Prior bortezomib treatment (yes, no) * Prior treatment (1 prior line of treatment, \>1 prior line of treatment) Approximately 30 subjects (10 subjects per cohort) will be enrolled in the phase 1b part of the study and approximately 196 subjects will be enrolled in the phase 2 part of the study.

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BMS-833923 administered alone, in combination with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone, or in combination with bortezomib in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

To measure various pro-permeability factors in the aqueous humor of patients with persistent/recurrent diabetic macular edema Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and alternating regimens of chemotherapy in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphocytic leukemia.

This is an initial clinical trial evaluating whether different doses of iontophoresis for delivery of dexamethasone phosphate can be tolerated by eyes of patients with non-infections, non-necrotizing scleritis. A secondary goal is to get preliminary information about whether the treatment is likely to be an effective treatment for scleritis. If the results are favorable, further trials evaluating the treatment may be pursued. Funding sources: FDA OOPD, Eyegate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Read Less
