3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a prospective, non-randomized, phase I study design evaluating the in vivo activities and expression of OCT1 and BCRP in mammary gland of lactating women at three time points postpartum.
This is an open-label, non-randomized, fixed-sequence study. Subjects will undergo a rosuvastatin phase and eltrombopag and rosuvastatin phase to identify biomarkers for Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP).
This study will examine DNA from cancer patients previously treated with Gleevec to look for a variation (mutation) of the ABCG2 gene that may render the drug less effective in certain patients. Gleevec is used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal tumors. Although most patients respond to treatment, many with advanced disease develop resistance to the drug. It is thought that in some patients this resistance results from the action of a protein that causes Gleevec to be pumped out of the cells, reducing its usefulness. Patients enrolled in clinical trials of Gleevec at the National Cancer Institute and at other participating institutions are eligible for this study. DNA from patients' blood samples are analyzed for the ABCG2 gene and correlated with clinical data, such as the patient's age, race, disease state, weight, height, and body surface area. It will also look at the drug dose, how often the drug is given, the duration of treatment, side effects and other medications taken.
