External-Beam Radiation Therapy With or Without Indinavir and Ritonavir in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Indinavir and ritonavir may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

- NCT00637637
- Testing
- indinavir sulfate, ritonavir, radiation therapy

Parathyroid Disease
Lidocaine Supplement for Minimal Invasive Parathyroid Surgery
Primary Objective: 1. To determine if the application of lidocaine to the airway will obtund or abolish the laryngeal reflexes. This in turn will lead to a quiescent controlled surgical field.
- Trial name
- NCT00528502
- Testing
- Lidocaine, Saline
- Sponsor
- M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Parathyroid Neoplasms
Using X-Ray Dye to Locate Hidden Parathyroid Tumors
Occasionally tumors of the parathyroid gland cannot be detected by standard x-ray diagnostic procedures (CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds). In order for the tumor to be removed surgically it must first be localized.

- United States
- Volunteers
- 150 people
