Dexamethasone Treatment Options in Texas

The primary objective of this phase 1b study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of blinatumomab and AMG 404 in combination in adults with R/R B-ALL and to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AMG 404 when combined with continuous intravenous infusion (cIV) blinatumomab.

For some patients who come to the emergency department for treatment of a migraine headache, peripheral headache nerve blocks (PHNB) have proven to be an efficient and effective treatment for headache relief. Previous studies have demonstrated that adding steroids as an adjunct treatment to standard migraine treatment can reduce recurrence of headaches in the subsequent few days. Read Less

To assess the outcomes of NRM when administering pharmacologic pretransplant immunosuppression (PTIS) followed by pretransplant reduced toxicity conditioning (RTC) and an allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) and post-transplant graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis based on post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) in patients with inherited blood disorders.

In the currently proposed phase I/II study, the investigators aim to treat patients with relapsed and/or relapsed refractory Multiple Myeloma who have progressed on carfilzomib-based therapy with an FDA approved c-MET inhibitor, cabozantinib. Read Less

Current efforts to improve pain alleviation focus on non-opioid pharmaceuticals. Intravenous perioperative corticosteroid administration has been suggested as an alternative method for post-operative pain control. The evidence regarding perioperative intravenous corticosteroids to help alleviate post-operative pain is mixed. Some meta-analyses report decreased opioid consumption and decreased pain intensity after a variety of surgical procedures. However, a study of larger orthopedic procedures found no benefit. The catabolic and immunosuppressant effects of corticosteroids also pose issues with wound healing and infection, which can have severe consequences after spine surgery. There is limited data on the effect of perioperative intravenous steroid administration on pain alleviation in children having surgery to address spine deformity. A recent retrospective review demonstrated that perioperative corticosteroid administration was associated with a statistically significant decrease in opioid medication utilization among children and adolescents after spinal deformity surgery. While not increasing the risk of postoperative complications. The investigators hypothesize that the administration of perioperative intravenous dexamethasone will demonstrate a clinically meaningful and statistically significant decrease in postoperative pain intensity, need for opioid medications, time to ambulation, and length of stay in children recovering from surgery for spine deformity.

The purpose of this study is to provide continued access to ixazomib and/or lenalidomide to participants who are continuing to have clinical benefit and to continue collecting relevant safety data to monitor safety in participants with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma (NDMM) who are not eligible for stem cell transplant.

The purpose of this clinical phase I/II study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of satoreotide tetraxetan (177Lu-IPN01072, formerly known as 177Lu-OPS201) used for the treatment of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The secondary objectives of this study were the assessment of biodistribution, dosimetry and preliminary efficacy of satoreotide tetraxetan. Read Less

The Macular Edema Ranibizumab v. Intravitreal anti-inflammatory Therapy (MERIT) Trial will compare the relative efficacy and safety of intravitreal methotrexate, intravitreal ranibizumab, and the intravitreal dexamethasone implant for the treatment of uveitic macular edema persisting or reoccurring after an intravitreal corticosteroid injection. MERIT is a parallel design (1:1:1), randomized comparative trial with an anniversary close-out after 6 months of follow-up. The primary outcome is percent change in central subfield thickness from the baseline OCT measurement to the 12 week visit. Read Less

RATIONALE: Epoetin alfa may stimulate red blood cell production and may help improve cancer-related anemia and fatigue. Steroid therapy with dexamethasone may increase the effectiveness of epoetin alfa. It is not yet known if epoetin alfa is more effective with or without dexamethasone in treating anemia-related fatigue in patients with prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying epoetin alfa and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared to epoetin alfa alone in treating anemia-related fatigue in patients with prostate cancer that is refractory to treatment with hormone therapy.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CEP-18770 in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This study will also assess how safe the combination of pomalidomide, bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone is compared to the combination of bortezomib and low dose dexamethasone. Read Less

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of first-line treatment with everolimus plus letrozole in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Moreover, the study also aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of second line treatment with everolumus plus examestane in participants whose disease progressed during everolimus plus letrozole therapy.
