Dexamethasone Treatment Options in Wisconsin

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

Study of elotuzumab in combination with pomalidomide and low dose dexamethasone (EPd Cohort) and elotuzumab in combination with nivolumab (EN Cohort) to assess the safety and efficacy of these combination therapies for treatment of relapsed or refractory MM patients. Read Less

Retrospective study to provide clinical outcomes with DEXYCU (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9%. Read Less

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

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 Phase I/II study is designed to first identify doses of MLN9708 and bendamustine that are associated with an acceptable adverse event profile when delivered together in 28-day cycles. Additionally, the study aims to assess the efficacy of the combination in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Responders (stable disease or more), will continue to receive up to eight cycles total in the absence of further progressive disease. Read Less

This is a Phase 2 study during which patients with advanced multiple myeloma will receive either carfilzomib alone (single-agent) or carfilzomib in combination with investigational study drug filanesib (ARRY-520). Patients will be followed to determine the effectiveness of both single-agent carfilzomib and carfilzomib + filanesib in treating myeloma. Patients will be allowed to crossover from single-agent carfilzomib to carfilzomib + filanesib if disease progression occurs. Approximately 75 patients from the US will be enrolled in this study.

This study is designed to compare the treatment effect of PEGPH20 combined with nab-paclitaxel (NAB) and gemcitabine (GEM) \[PAG\] to NAB and GEM \[AG\] in participants with Stage IV previously untreated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). The study will have 2 run-in phases, one for each formulation of PEGPH20 (original and new formulations), and a Phase 2 portion. The 2 run-in phases will evaluate the safety and tolerability of the PAG treatment using the original and new succinic acid PEGPH20 formulation, respectively, compared with AG treatment. Phase 2 will have 2 stages due to a partial clinical hold that occurred from April through July 2014. The participants will be randomized in 3:1 for the run-in phases. The first stage will randomize participants in a 1:1 ratio. The second stage will randomize participants in a 2:1 ratio (PAG:AG). This is an open-label study. To minimize bias to the progression-free survival endpoint, disease progression will be based on the assessment of the Central Imaging Reader (CIR). Determination of clinical progression by the Investigator without corresponding CIR confirmation will be documented with the relevant signs and symptoms. Read Less

The primary objectives are: Phase 1b: * To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of oprozomib given orally, once daily, on 2 different schedules. * To evaluate safety and tolerability Phase 2: * To estimate the overall response rate (ORR). * To evaluate safety and tolerability Read Less

This phase II/III trial is studying the side effects and how well giving dasatinib together with combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Dasatinib 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 or by stopping them from dividing. Giving dasatinib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells. Read Less

This is a phase I study of vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone (modified VXD) plus MLN9708 in adults with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma or mixed phenotype acute leukemia. Read Less

Patients will receive Rituximab, Bortezomib, cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Dexamethasone in three week intervals for 6 cycles; then rituximab consolidation (weekly x 4) , then one dose of rituximab every 12 weeks until 5 years or disease progression. Read Less
