NCT02369705
Subjects with cardiac disorders will be tested in the sleep laboratory with a conventional full-night PSG recording along with WP 200/WP200U ambulatory sleep diagnostic device in a synchronized manner. The PSG data will be scored manually by a trained polysomnographic scorer, according to standard criteria for this clinical routine. The data obtained by the WP200/WP200U will be analyzed automatically for RDI, AHI, sleep stages, snoring (optional) and body position (optional), in addition to parameters specific to cardiac subjects. The analysis will be performed by the WP200/WP200U software (zzzPAT) and will be compared to the PSG's manual scoring which serves as a "Gold Standard".
NCT01597050
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, efficacy and tolerability of topical R333 ointment in Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients with active discoid lesions.
NCT01155258
RATIONALE: Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine ditartrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving temsirolimus together with vinorelbine ditartrate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of giving temsirolimus and vinorelbine ditartrate together in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic solid tumors.
NCT00280137
To examine the psychometric properties of a brief quality of life (QOL) instrument for use in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The purpose of this prospective study is primarily to determine the validity and reliability of a new health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measure in children with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). We wish to secondarily examine concordance between child- and parent-reports of the HRQOL measure and identify factors associated with poorer HRQOL in them. Earlier studies have shown that SLE significantly impacts QOL in adults. At present, there is no disease-specific instrument for measuring HRQOL in children with SLE. In response to these concerns, we developed the "Simple Measure of Impact of Lupus Erythematosus in Youngsters© (SMILEY©). Establishing the validity and reliability of SMILEY©, examining child-parent agreement and identifying factors associated with poorer HRQOL will enable us to measure the impact of SLE in children, and formulate appropriate interventions for this sensitive population. We plan the following specific aims: 1. to determine construct validity and reliability of SMILEY© child and parent versions in children with SLE using gold standards (Pediatric Quality of Life inventory - PedsQL generic and rheumatology modules, Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire -CHAQ) 2. to determine responsiveness of SMILEY© 3. to examine level of agreement between child- and parent-reports of SMILEY© in children with SLE 4. to identify medical (steroid use, use of disease modifying agents such as cytoxan, cellcept, thalidomide, or cyclosporine, disease duration, disease activity and disease damage etc.) and psychosocial (self-concept, socioeconomic status) factors that affect HRQOL (as measured by child- and parent-reports of SMILEY© and PedsQL generic and rheumatology modules) and physical function 5) to translate, adapt and validate SMILEY in different languages
NCT00774852
This study is for individuals with lupus who have developed complications in their kidneys, or lupus nephritis. The study will determine whether adding the experimental medication abatacept to standard cyclophosphamide therapy is more effective in improving lupus nephritis than standard cyclophosphamide therapy by itself.
NCT01709474
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of 18 weeks of high-dose vitamin D3 supplementation compared with standard-dose vitamin D3 supplementation on immune function, glucose homeostasis, and bone metabolism in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D \[25(OH)D\] levels ≤20 ng/mL.
NCT00483574
This clinical trial will evaluate the safety of two injections of Menactra® Vaccine in subjects at 9 months and at 12 months of age when the second dose is given concomitantly with other pediatric vaccines routinely administered in the US. Safety Objective: To describe the safety profile of two doses of Menactra® Vaccine.
NCT00333619
This project is a randomized controlled trial to test whether a multicomponent, nonpharmacological intervention improves sleep/wake patterns and functional recovery among older people undergoing post-acute rehabilitation.
NCT01346293
The study was designed to compare the safety and immunogenicity of DTap-IPV with DAPTACEL® + IPOL® as the 5th dose booster in children ≥ 4 to \< 7 years of age in the US and Puerto Rico who were previously vaccinated with DAPTACEL® and/or Pentacel® vaccines only. Primary Objectives: * To compare the pertussis \[Pertussis Toxoid (PT), Filamentous Haemagglutinin (FHA), Pertactin (PRN), and Fimbriae Types 2 and 3 (FIM)\] booster responses and geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) (as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay \[ELISA\]) following DTap-IPV vaccination to those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccination when administered as a 5th dose. * To compare the diphtheria and tetanus booster responses and GMCs (as measured by ELISA) following DTap-IPV vaccination with those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccinations when administered as a 5th dose . * To compare the Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine booster responses (as measured by neutralizing assay) following DTap-IPV vaccination with those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccinations. Observational Objectives: * To compare the polio (types 1, 2, and 3) geometric mean titers (GMTs) following DTap-IPV vaccination with those elicited following DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccinations. * To assess the safety of DTap-IPV vaccine or DAPTACEL® + IPOL® vaccine when administered as the fifth dose booster vaccine in participants previously vaccinated with DAPTACEL and/or Pentacel vaccines.

PURPOSE: This study is looking at brain function in premenopausal women who are receiving adjuvant tamoxifen (T) alone against those receive adjuvant tamoxifen (T+OFS) or exemestane (E+OFS) with ovarian function suppression (OFS) for early-stage breast cancer on clinical trial IBCSG-2402.
NCT00691080
The investigators will examine whether sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are related to alterations in the production of melatonin (MT), a hormone that plays an important role in regulating sleep-wake cycle. Children with ASD experience high rates of sleep disturbances that potentially contribute to problems with thinking and behavior. It is unclear if changes in MT production cause sleep problems in children with ASD. MT is frequently used to treat these sleep problems; however, it has not been well established whether MT is an effective treatment. Our hypotheses concerning MT is children with ASD and sleep problems will have a delayed sleep-wake cycle and/or decreased MT production. This study will compare children diagnosed with ASD to "healthy" control children with no ASD diagnosis. All subjects will be recruited from one of three sites: Baylor College of Medicine, Oregon Health \& Science University and Columbia University. The investigators will use a standardized questionnaire to determine whether the child has sleep problems. The investigators will measure MT levels in saliva in ASD children with sleep problems and in a group of control children without sleep problems. Total 24-hour MT production will be determined from urine samples in these same two groups.
