Head and Neck Cancer
Azacitidine to Restore Thyroid Function in Patients With Persistent or Metastatic Thyroid Cancer
RATIONALE: Azacitidine may help thyroid cancer cells regain the ability to take up iodine. This would allow the cancer to be detected and treated by radioactive iodine.
- Trial name
- NCT00004062
- Testing
- azacitidine, liothyronine sodium, iodine I 131
- Where
- United States

Adrenocortical Carcinoma, Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors
Combination Chemotherapy and Tamoxifen in Treating Patients With Solid Tumors
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Estrogen can stimulate the growth of tumor cells.
- Conditions

- Trial name
- NCT00002608
- Testing
- cisplatin, doxorubicin hydrochloride, tamoxifen citrate
