Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Men With Germ Cell Cancer
Unknown
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy may be more effective for germ cell cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying two different regimens of combination chemotherapy and comparing how well they work in treating men with germ cell cancer.

Safety and Efficacy of the ZoMaxx™ Drug-Eluting Stent System in Coronary Arteries
Completed
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the ZoMaxx drug-eluting stent in patients with blockage of native coronary arteries. The study is designed to demonstrate non-inferiority to the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent that has proven superior to bare metal stents and is a recognized standard of care.

Phase I Study in Patients With Solid Tumours
Completed
This study will comprise 2 parts, a dose escalation phase and a dose expansion phase. The 2 phases are part of a single study and described by this single protocol. Patients entered into the dose escalation phase will not be entered into the expansion phase. All subjects must be suitable for treatment with either carboplatin and/or paclitaxel.

SYNTAX Study: TAXUS Drug-Eluting Stent Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for the Treatment of Narrowed Arteries
Unknown
The SYNTAX trial is designed to determine the best treatment for patients with complex coronary disease (blocked or narrowed arteries in both the right and left sides of the heart) by randomizing patients to receive either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stents or to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
