Dexamethasone Treatment Options in Texas

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

The objective of this study is to compare the relative efficacy and safety of the test formulation of ciprofloxacin 0.3%/dexamethasone 0.1% sterile otic suspension (Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc.) to the already-marketed formulation CIPRODEX® (ciprofloxacin 0.3%/dexamethasone 0.1%) sterile otic suspension (Alcon) in the treatment of acute bacterial otitis externa.

This Phase 3 study has been designed to confirm that adding custirsen to standard first-line docetaxel/prednisone treatment can slow tumor progression and enhance survival outcomes compared to standard first-line docetaxel/prednisone treatment alone. This will be a randomized, open-label, multicenter, international trial. Treatment will consist of docetaxel/prednisone/custirsen vs. docetaxel/prednisone. A total of at least 1000 patients will be randomized. Patients will be randomly assigned with equal probability to the two arms. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of glucocorticoid administration following traumatic memory reactivation on psychiatric symptoms in veterans with combat-related PTSD, in addition to examining the effects of glucocorticoid administration following traumatic memory reactivation on physiological responses to veteran's personal combat memories. The following hypotheses will be tested: 1. Subjects who receive an exogenous glucocorticoid after traumatic memory reactivation will demonstrate fewer PTSD and depression symptoms one week later, compared to those who receive a placebo after traumatic memory reactivation. 2. The glucocorticoid reduction effects will be cumulative; that is, reduction will persist, and further post-reactivation glucocorticoid administration will further reduce symptoms 3. Decreases in PTSD and depression symptoms will persist at 1, 3, and 6 months for subjects receiving an exogenous glucocorticoid compared to those subjects receiving placebo 4. Subjects who receive an exogenous glucocorticoid after traumatic memory reactivation will demonstrate decreased physiological responses one week later, compared to those who receive a placebo after traumatic memory reactivation. 5. As with the psychological measures, suppression of the physiological measures will demonstrate both persistence over time and accumulation with subsequent post-reactivation glucocorticoid administration.

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

The goal of the Phase I portion of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerated dose of the combination of lenalidomide, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), and dexamethasone that can be given to patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The goal of the Phase II portion of this study is to learn if ATRA when given in combination with lenalidomide alone or with lenalidomide and dexamethasone can help to control multiple myeloma. In September 2015, the study was terminated due to slow accrual while still a Phase I study, no additional registration or research performed under the Phase II portion of the study. Read Less

Comparing the duration of pain relief from caudal analgesia when adjuncts like dexamethasone, clonidine, or saline (salt water) are added to ropivacaine. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of pomalidomide that can be given in combination with melphalan and dexamethasone that can be given to patients with AL amyloidosis. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Pomalidomide 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 decrease the growth of cancer cells. Melphalan is designed to damage the DNA (genetic material) of cells, which may cause cancer cells to die. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that is similar to a natural hormone made by your body. Dexamethasone is often given to Multiple Myeloma (MM) patients in combination with other chemotherapy to treat cancer. Planned Phase I/II Study terminated early during Phase I portion without continuation to Phase II. Read Less

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how different doses of fosaprepitant may effect how ifosfamide-based chemotherapy is absorbed by the body. Researchers also want to learn if fosaprepitant can help to control or prevent delayed nausea and/or vomiting that may be caused by chemotherapy. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Fosaprepitant is designed to block the natural substance in the brain that causes nausea and vomiting. This may help to prevent and/or control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Read Less

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radioactive substances such as strontium-89 may relieve bone pain associated with prostate cancer. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without strontium-89 in treating bone metastases. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving chemotherapy together with strontium-89 to see how well it works compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to the bone.
