Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in Treating Children With CNS Relapse From Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Completed
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy following chemotherapy in treating children with CNS relapse from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more cancer cells.

Calcitriol, Ketoconazole, and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Solid Tumors
Completed
RATIONALE: Calcitriol may cause solid tumor cells to look more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Ketoconazole and dexamethasone may help calcitriol work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving calcitriol together with ketoconazole and dexamethasone may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of calcitriol when given together with ketoconazole and dexamethasone in treating patients with metastatic... Read More

A Phase 3 Study of Siltuximab or Placebo in Combination With Velcade and Dexamethasone in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma
Withdrawn
The purpose of this study is to determine if there is an improvement in progression-free survival (length of time during and after treatment in which a patient is living with a disease that does not get worse) when siltuximab is added to VELCADE and dexamethasone in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Systane Ultra Versus Maxidex Versus Saline
Completed
This study was to evaluate the healing action on the eye surface of the artificial tear Systane® ULTRA as compared to two other eyedrops: Maxidex and Saline solution. Dry eye disease leads to inflammation of the eye surface and treating dry eyes with artificial tears may lead to reduction in this inflammation and improvement of symptoms and signs.

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Unresectable Liver Metastases From Colorectal Cancer
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Cryosurgery kills cancer cells by freezing them. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with cryosurgery and giving drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of intrahepatic and intravenous combination chemotherapy with or without cryosurgery in treating unresectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer.

Melphalan, Thalidomide, and Dexamethasone in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Previously Untreated Primary Systemic Amyloidosis
Completed
RATIONALE: Drugs such as melphalan, thalidomide, and dexamethasone may be effective in treating patients with primary systemic amyloidosis. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving melphalan together with thalidomide and dexamethasone works in treating patients with primary systemic amyloidosis.

Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Children With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Completed
Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different chemotherapy regimens with or without bone marrow transplantation in treating children who have acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known w... Read More

A Prospective Study Comparing Ranibizumab Plus Dexamethasone Combination Therapy Versus Ranibizumab Monotherapy for Wet AMD
Completed
The primary objective of this proposed research study is to evaluate the safety of intravitreal ranibizumab in combination with intravitreal dexamethasone in comparison to intravitreal ranibizumab alone in the treatment of wet ARMD. The addition of the broad spectrum anti-inflammatory activity of dexamethasone may augment the anti-VEGF activity of ranibizumab by amelioration of inflammation existing in the microenvironment of the choroidal neovascularization. While the anti-VEGF agents have prov... Read More
