Up to 30 patients will undergo approximately 60 minutes of dynamic PET scanning followed by up to 2 static skull-base to mid-thigh scans post injection of [18F] (2S,4R)4-fluoroglutamine ([18F]F-GLN). A baseline FDG-PET/CT will also be performed, either as a routine clinical staging/re-staging scan
Lymphedema is a debilitating disorder that severely impairs the quality of life of the patients and requires life-long attention. It can be classified as primary or secondary, based on the etiology. Primary lymphedema is a rare, congenital disorder caused by inherited genetic mutation on a number of
The taxanes are a class of anticancer agents that interfere with microtubule disassembly. They have been an integral part of adjuvant breast cancer treatment since the early 2000s. Taxane-induced arthralgia and myalgia syndrome (TAMS) is one of the most common side effects of taxane chemotherapy. It
One of the recognized hallmarks of cancer cells is deregulated cellular metabolism, characterized by enhanced metabolic autonomy compare with non-transformed cells. Tumor cells typically display an overall increase in glucose metabolism, associated with enhanced aerobic glycolysis and decreased
Study Groups:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a dose level of belinostat based on when you join this study. Up to 5 dose levels of belinostat will be tested. At least 2 participants will be enrolled at each dose level. The first group of
Central Venous Catheter:
Many of the drugs given in this study and the stem cell transplant will be given by vein through a central venous catheter (CVC). A CVC is a sterile flexible tube and needle that will be placed into a large vein while you are under local anesthesia. Blood samples will also
L-glutamine has previously been shown to help reduce the incidence of numbness and tingling in patients with breast cancer who are receiving taxane chemotherapies. However, no study to date looks at the effect of l-glutamine given after this numbness and tingling (called 'perihperhal neuropathy')
Busulfan Test Dose:
Participant will receive a test dose of busulfan by vein over about 60 minutes. This low-level test dose of busulfan is to check how the level of busulfan in participant's blood changes over time. This information will be used to decide the next dose needed to reach the target
Patients Patients with LC, CRC and BC with good performance status and with tumor tissue available, at failure of conventional therapies or without possibility to be treated with therapy of proven efficacy, will be included in the study. Initial patient characterization will include detailed
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare whether treatment with acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride vs placebo prevents symptoms of neuropathy as measured by the 11-item neurotoxicity component of the FACT-Taxane Questionnaire at 12 weeks after study registration in women with stage I, II, or IIIA breast cancer
1. Determine whether oral glutamine supplementation can reduce the symptoms and signs of peripheral neuropathy.
2. Determine whether alterations in the symptoms and signs of peripheral neuropathy are correlated with an alteration of circulating nerve growth factor or insulin-like growth factor
