Dexamethasone Treatment Options in North Carolina

This randomized phase III trial is studying different combination chemotherapy regimens and comparing how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

This was an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of venetoclax combined with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM) who received at least 1 prior line of therapy with documented evidence of progression during or after the participant's last treatment regimen. The study was designed to consist of 2 parts: Part 1 (dose escalation) and Part 2 (dose expansion). For Part 2 the participants were to be divided into 2 cohorts, participants positive for t(11;14) translocation and participants negative for t(11;14) translocation. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the clinical therapeutic non-inferiority of EXL CDOS to commercially available Ciprofloxacin 0.3% and Dexamethasone 0.1% Sterile Otic Suspension (Ciprodex®, Alcon) in the treatment of acute otitis externa (AOE) when administered twice daily for 7 days.

This randomized phase III trial is studying dexamethasone to see how well it works compared to prednisone during induction therapy. This trial is also studying methotrexate and leucovorin calcium to see how well they work compared to methotrexate alone during maintenance therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, prednisone, methotrexate, and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Read Less

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of pegaspargase when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Pegaspargase may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with pegaspargase may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

This multicenter, open-label, Phase I study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab alone or in combination with daratumumab and/or various immunomodulatory agents in participants with MM who have relapsed or who have undergone autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Cycle length will be 21 days in Cohorts A to C and 28 days in Cohorts D to F. Read Less

The purpose of the Phase 1 part of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and assess the safety, tolerability and activity of oprozomib in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in adults with primary refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The purpose of the Phase 3 part of the study is to compare the efficacy for adults with primary refractory or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who are randomized to either oprozomib or placebo in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone.

Iontophoresis potentially may be a good alternative to improved delivery of corticosteroids. Study Investigators propose to use iontophoresis to increase dexamethasone delivery into thick psoriasis plaques. The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether dexamethasone sodium phosphate iontophoresis is an effective local therapy for psoriasis. The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of dexamethasone sodium phosphate iontophoresis for psoriasis. Read Less

The primary objective was to describe the safety profile of carfilzomib plus dexamethasone regimen in adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy at study entry. Read Less

The study will explore escalating doses of melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in small groups of patients to find the maximum tolerated dose of melflufen. That dose will then be used to determine the efficacy and safety profile of melflufen in combination with dexamethasone in a larger group of patients. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and activity of a once-weekly regimen of carfilzomib in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Read Less

This is a pilot study using decitabine and vorinostat before and during chemotherapy with vincristine, dexamethasone, mitoxantrone, and peg-asparaginase in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Read Less
