All Clinical Trials for PHOTOFRIN
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00002935 ↗ | Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Early Esophageal Cancer | Completed | Roswell Park Cancer Institute | Phase 2 | 1995-10-01 | RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. This may be an effective treatment for esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in treating patients with Barrett's esophagus who have in situ esophageal cancer. |
| NCT00002964 ↗ | Porfimer Sodium in Diagnosing Patients With Head and Neck Cancer | Completed | Roswell Park Cancer Institute | Phase 2 | 1995-02-01 | RATIONALE: Drugs that make cancer cells more visible to light may help in the diagnosis of head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the usefulness of porfimer sodium in diagnosing patients with head and neck cancer. |
| NCT00003788 ↗ | Surgery, Radiation Therapy, and Chemotherapy With or Without Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed or Recurrent Malignant Supratentorial Gliomas | Unknown status | Colorado Health Foundation | Phase 3 | 1998-04-01 | RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known if the addition of photodynamic therapy to combined therapy with surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy is more effective than combined therapy alone for supratentorial gliomas. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy with or without photodynamic therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed or recurrent malignant supratentorial gliomas. |
| NCT00003923 ↗ | Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Bile Duct, Gallbladder, or Pancreas | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 2 | 1999-03-01 | RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. This may be effective treatment for cancer of the bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in treating patients who have cancer of the bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas. |
| NCT00003923 ↗ | Photodynamic Therapy in Treating Patients With Cancer of the Bile Duct, Gallbladder, or Pancreas | Completed | Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center | Phase 2 | 1999-03-01 | RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cancer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. This may be effective treatment for cancer of the bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to determine the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in treating patients who have cancer of the bile duct, gallbladder, or pancreas. |
| NCT00014066 ↗ | Photodynamic Therapy Plus Brachytherapy in Treating Patients With Lung Cancer | Completed | Roswell Park Cancer Institute | Phase 1 | 1993-03-01 | RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses light and drugs that make cnacer cells more sensitive to light to kill tumor cells. Brachytherapy uses radiation to damage tumor cells. Photodynamic therapy combined with brachytherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy plus brachytherapy in treating patients with recurrent lung cancer that is blocking the lung passages. |
| NCT00118222 ↗ | High Light and Low Light Dose PDT in Glioma | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 3 | 2005-03-01 | RATIONALE: Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as porfimer sodium, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. Giving photodynamic therapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying two different light doses of photodynamic therapy using porfimer sodium to compare how well they work in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for recurrent malignant astrocytoma. |
