Dexamethasone Treatment Options in Texas

This is a phase 1 trial designed to evaluate safety and tolerability of chemotherapy in combination with inotuzumab ozogamicin, an investigational product, in adults with CD22-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The trial will involve two arms. In one arm, subjects will receive chemotherapy regimen R-CVP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisone). In the other arm, subjects will receive R-GDP (rituximab, gemcitabine, cisplatinum and dexamethasone). Subjects in both arms will also receive inotuzumab ozogamicin. Read Less

This is a Phase 1a/1b, multicenter, open-label, two-part study in subjects with relapsed or refractory MM: * Phase 1a: single agent CWP232291. Dose-finding followed by cohort expansion at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or optimal dose as determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). * Phase 1b: CWP232291 in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone. Dose-finding followed by cohort expansion at the combination therapy MTD or optimal dose as determined by the SRC. Read Less

The aim of this randomized, observer-blinded study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of adding dexamethasone and clonidine to ropivacaine in supraclavicular nerve block. The investigators hypothesized that addition of dexamethasone and clonidine to ropivacaine would prolong the duration of analgesia in supraclavicular nerve block compared with ropivacaine alone.

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravitreal implant of dexamethasone for the treatment of macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion. Read Less

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of the 700 ug dexamethasone intravitreal implant with ranibizumab 0.5 mg intravitreal injections in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of trabectedin+DOXIL as a third-line chemotherapy regimen (treatment) in patients with platinum-sensitive advanced-relapsed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who received 2 previous lines of platinum-based chemotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) in phase 1 and to determine the combined response rate of clinical response CR and very good partial response (VGPR) in phase 2 of oral (PO) ixazomib administered twice-weekly in combination with lenalidomide and low-dose dexamethasone in a 21-day cycle in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDDM).

Infants who are on breathing support are often treated with steroids (dexamethasone); however, the best timing of therapy is not known. This trial looked at the benefits and hazards of starting dexamethasone therapy at two weeks of age and four weeks of age in premature infants. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of the drug panobinostat that can be given in combination with the drugs Velcade (bortezomib), Revlimid (lenalidomide), and Decadron (dexamethasone) to patients with MM. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Panobinostat is designed to cause chemical changes in different groups of proteins that are attached to DNA (the genetic material of cells), which may slow the growth of cancer cells or cause the cancer cells to die. Bortezomib is designed to block a protein that causes cells to grow. This may cause cancer cells to die. Lenalidomide is designed to change the body's immune system. It may also interfere with the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. This may slow the growth of cancer cells. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that is similar to a natural hormone made by your body. Dexamethasone is often given to MM patients in combination with other chemotherapy to treat cancer.

The goal of Phase I of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of RAD001 (everolimus) when given in combination with the standard chemotherapy regimens to patients with ALL. The goal of Phase II of this study is to learn if the drug combinations can help to control ALL. The safety of these drug combinations will be also studied in both phases. 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 different regimens of combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. Read Less

To evaluate the relative efficacy of three commonly utilized regional corticosteroids for the regional treatment of uveitic macular edema: periocular triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal dexamethasone implant. The primary efficacy measure will be percent change in central subfield thickness as measured by OCT at 8 weeks. Participants will continue in the study for 24 weeks in order to evaluate relative effects of the 3 treatment strategies on the duration of treatment effects, requirement for additional injections, and adverse effects. Note: The planned sample size for the POINT Trial was 267 subjects. On 17 July 2017, with 192 subjects enrolled, the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) reviewed the planned interim analysis and recommended that the goals of the trial could be accomplished by completing follow-up of enrolled subjects without the recruitment of additional subjects. Per the DSMC recommendations, recruitment was suspended and follow-up of enrolled subjects was completed according to the protocol. Read Less
