NCT01824693
This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and melphalan or busulfan and fludarabine phosphate before donor hematopoietic cell transplant works in treating younger patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Giving chemotherapy before a donor hematopoietic transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is not yet known whether giving busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and melphalan or busulfan and fludarabine phosphate before a donor stem cell transplant is more effective in treating juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.
NCT00233454
The safety and efficacy of midostaurin (PKC412), a novel investigational drug, will be evaluated on the basis of response rate, when administered to patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM) or mast cell leukemia (MCL)
NCT00768144
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of sunitinib on participants with ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. Sunitinib is a newly discovered drug that may stop cancer cells from growing by blocking the blood supply to the tumor.
NCT01871805
This non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of alectinib in participants with ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer who failed crizotinib treatment. In Phase I, cohorts of participants will receive escalating doses of alectinib orally twice daily. In Phase II, patients who failed crizotinib treatment will receive the recommended phase II dose.
NCT00520013
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal cancer and papillary serous or clear cell mullerian tumors respond to consolidation therapy with Avastin and erlotinib or Avastin alone over 1 year. These drugs have been used in the treatment of other types of cancers and information from those studies suggests that these agents may help to treat the cancers studied here.
NCT00268918
The main purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, PTK787, is safe and to find the highest dose that can be given safely without causing serious side effects.
NCT00527735
The purpose of the study is to determine whether ipilimumab given with paclitaxel/carboplatin has clinical benefit when compared with paclitaxel/carboplatin alone in patients with previously untreated lung cancer.
NCT02740998
Despite many years of research, controversy persists as to whether hormonal contraception promotes HIV acquisition. A number of observational studies on depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) injection showed an increase in HIV risk and no evidence of increased risk with oral contraceptive pills. There are no human studies currently published on the impact of the levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG IUD) on HIV transmission risk and minimal data on the effects of the etonogestrel subdermal implant (ESI) on risk of HIV acquisition. Establishing whether any of these highly effective contraceptives increases the risk of HIV infection would have far-reaching public health implications, particularly in areas of high HIV prevalence such as sub-Saharan Africa, where injectable contraception accounts for nearly half of contraceptive use. Perturbations in the normal vaginal microbiota, or community of microorganisms inhabiting the vaginal body niche, have long been known to affect the risk of transmission of HIV. Studies have shown altered vaginal microbiota with DMPA injection and preserved vaginal microbiota with the LNG IUD, but no studies have compared these methods head-to-head or used culture-independent sequencing methodology. The investigators propose a prospective pilot study to evaluate the impact of different long-acting progestin contraceptive formulations on the vaginal microbiome. Specifically, the investigators aim to identify and compare metagenomics profiles associated with DMPA, LNG IUD, and ESI contraceptive use by community analysis of vaginal swab samples from women collected longitudinally after contraceptive method initiation. The investigators hypothesize that DMPA will increase community diversity in the vaginal microbiota, whereas the LNG IUD and ESI will not affect the balance of microorganisms in the vagina. Women who are planning to initiate DMPA, LNG IUD, and ESI contraception as well as controls not seeking contraception will be recruited for the study from Boston Medical Center (BMC), a tertiary care center with a racially and socioeconomically diverse patient population. Women will have longitudinal follow-up with self-sampling of the vagina for sexually transmitted infection testing and metagenomics analysis at method initiation, 2-3 months, and 6 months. Establishing the safest long-acting progestin contraceptive alternative will promote effective contraception use and lower rates of HIV acquisition worldwide.
NCT02403895
Open--label, phase 2a, multi-centre, single-arm study to assess the efficacy and safety of AZD2014 and weekly paclitaxel in patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
NCT01159964
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2302032A when given to Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, after tumor removal by surgery.
NCT01911325
This is a multi-center, open-label Phase Ib dose escalation part followed by a randomized double-blinded placebo controlled Phase II part. The Phase Ib part will determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)/Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of buparlisib in combination with docetaxel. Subsequently the MTD/RP2D will be investigated in a Phase II randomized trial in patients with advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC.
NCT00200382
The purpose of this study is to develop new treatments that will hopefully result in the relief of symptoms and prolongation of life. For this reason, your doctors have offered you treatment with a new experimental drug called PS 341.
NCT01916226
This phase IV investigational trial is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a 2-week treatment of fluticasone propionate nasal spray (FPNS) vs. cetirizine on allergic nasal and ocular symptoms and quality of life in adult subjects with SAR. It is hypothesized that FPNS provides greater nasal symptom relief than cetirizine. The primary measure used to test this hypothesis is the change from baseline over two weeks in reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) compared between FPNS and cetirizine. Approximately 648 subjects will be randomized into a 1:1:1:1 ratio of treatment allocation across approximately twenty-five to thirty-five sites in the US during the 2013 fall allergy season. All subjects will be outpatients. The total duration of study will be approximately 21 days including 7 days of screening period, and 14 days of treatment period.
NCT00975000
Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is common in people with a kidney transplant. Patients with HPT often have high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and may have large parathyroid glands in the neck. Patients with HPT can develop bone disease (osteodystrophy). This bone disease can cause bone pain, fractures, and poor formation of red blood cells. Other problems from HPT may include increases in blood levels of calcium (hypercalcemia) and low blood levels of phosphorus (hypophosphatemia). The high calcium levels may cause calcium to deposit in body tissues. Calcium deposits can cause arthritis (joint pain and swelling), muscle inflammation, itching, gangrene (death of soft tissue), heart and lung problems or kidney transplant dysfunction (worsening of kidney transplant function). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of cinacalcet (Sensipar/Mimpara) on high calcium levels in the blood in patients with HPT after a kidney transplant.
NCT01980875
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of idelalisib with obinutuzumab versus the combination of chlorambucil and obinutuzumab on progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). An increased rate of deaths and serious adverse events (SAEs) among participants with front-line CLL and early-line indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) treated with idelalisib in combination with standard therapies was observed by the independent data monitoring committee (DMC) during regular review of 3 Gilead Phase 3 studies. Gilead reviewed the unblinded data and terminated those studies in agreement with the DMC recommendation and in consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All front-line studies of idelalisib, including this study, were also terminated.
NCT01835587
The purpose of the study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose and schedule of CC-486, known as oral azacitidine, in patients with AML or MDS after allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplant (HSCT). HSCT is more frequently used in AML or MDS as a potential curative therapy. However, disease recurrence/relapse and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remain the principal causes of fatal complications after transplantation. Oral azacitidine has significant activity in MDS and AML. Oral azacitidine has also demonstrated immunomodulatory activity in AML patients after allogeneic HSCT. An oral formulation of oral azacitidine provides a convenient route of administration and an opportunity to deliver the drug over a prolonged schedule.
NCT02913443
This is a Phase I, open-label, multicenter study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of RO7051790 in participants with relapsed ED SCLC. This dose escalation and expansion study plans to determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or optimal biological dose as a recommended Phase 2 dose for RO7051790, based on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles observed after oral administration of RO7051790.
NCT03413644
