NCT01457924
Ofatumumab is a novel Immunoglobulin 1ĸ ( IgG1ĸ) lytic monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to the human Cluster of Differentiation 20 (CD20) antigen of which expression is restricted to B lymphocytes from the pre-B cell stage to the plasmacytoid immunoblast stage only. A recent trial with an anti-CD20 mAb (rituximab) demonstrated that targeting B-cells reduces the number of gadolinium-enhancing (GdE) T1 lesions and the relapse rate in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Ofatumumab has been shown to be both well tolerated and efficacious in several indications, including a small, placebo-controlled trial in RRMS using an intravenous (IV) formulation. This double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will investigate the safety and efficacy of a subcutaneous formulation of ofatumumab in the treatment of subjects with RRMS. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. Other objectives will include evaluation of tolerability/safety, dose-response relationship, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, exposure-response, as well as other clinical endpoints.
NCT01450033
Adolescents with solid organ transplants have poorer outcomes than adults, and do not respond as well to post-rejection treatment. In addition to well-recognized declines in individual health-related quality of life, premature graft loss creates considerable health and economic burdens. High nonadherence rates among adolescents are believed to contribute majorly to rejection, premature allograft dysfunction and failure. Studies suggest that a telephone-based peer mentoring approach, with texting and e-communication, is a promising, practical means to promote medication adherence in adolescent solid organ transplant recipients. The study's main objectives are 1) to determine the efficacy of peer mentoring to improve medication adherence and health-related quality of life vs. usual care in adolescents and young adults with solid organ transplants, and 2) to determine the mechanisms through which peer mentoring impacts medication adherence and health-related quality of life.
NCT01613469
This study will assess the complete clinical response (no clinical evidence of remaining disease or recurrence of disease)in rectal cancer that arises within 3 inches of the anal opening after radiation therapy given at the same time as chemotherapy over a 6 week period, followed by chemotherapy alone given three times over an additional 9 weeks. Follow-up begins with an examination at the end of treatment (at 15 weeks), with ongoing follow-up every 4-6 weeks for one year.
NCT01585766
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) doses of MEDI-551 in adult subjects with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
NCT01605227
This study will evaluate the effect of cabozantinib compared to prednisone on overall survival in men with previously treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with bone-dominant disease who have experienced disease progression on docetaxel-containing chemotherapy and abiraterone or MDV3100.
NCT00829413

NCT02541422
This will be a double-blinded study involving healthy non-alcoholic (self-reported) volunteers over the age of 21 to consume beer on hospital property in a safe environment to ensure immediate availability to medical attention and to security if needed. Volunteers will be recruited from residency programs, hospital employees, emergency medical personnel, and friends of study investigators. The volunteers will drink to a BAC of 0.1 as checked with a breathalyzer. They will wear a tag around their neck with their study number, which will be hole-punched with every beer consumed, which will be collected at the end of the night for an accurate count of beers consumed per person. They however will not be forced to drink anymore if they are uncomfortable with the amount of alcohol they are consuming and can withdraw from the study at any time. All participants will be required to be driven home by a sober driver once the participant's BAT is 0.02 or less. At the end of the night, the volunteer will be breathalyzed to determine BAC, and given 1 capsule per 3 drinks consumed of either 600 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine or placebo capsules. In the morning, each participate will fill out a Hangover Symptom Score questionnaire, evaluating each hangover symptom on a 0 - 4 point Hangover Symptom Severity scale. A random number generator will be used to determine Placebo or NAC first, then the participant will be given the other treatment at their subsequent encounter. The study will be conducted over the series of many months, and data can be analyzed by self-control comparing the participant's hangover symptom severity as determined by the hangover symptom scale data when using NAC compared to placebo. The data will be analyzed using the numerical values of each category for hangover classification and compare the placebo data to the control data.
NCT00300781
The purpose of this study is to learn whether neratinib is safe and effective in treating women with advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer.
NCT02146313
This is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of DMUC4064A administered by intravenous (IV) infusion every three weeks (q3w) to cancer participants. The study will employ a traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of DMUC4064A against platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Once a q3w recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is identified, two expansion cohorts (one in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and another in unresectable pancreatic cancer) may be evaluated to further characterize the safety and activity in these populations.
NCT02398461
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study in subjects with relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The primary outcome will be the safety and tolerability of a single dose of rHIgM22 in relapsing MS subjects.
NCT01636453
To assess the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra Liberty Stent System as adjunctive treatment to embolic coils for wide-neck, saccular, intracranial aneurysms in the internal carotid artery (ICA). The Liberty Stent System is an implantable device comprised of a stent and delivery system designed as an adjunct to embolic coils in the treatment of wide-neck, saccular, intracranial aneurysms. It has three components: an implant, an introducer sheath and a delivery wire assembly. The implant component is made of superelastic and biocompatible nitinol tubular material. Patients presenting with wide-neck, saccular, intracranial aneurysms in the internal carotid artery (ICA) from the cavernous segment to the carotid terminus (including the paraclinoid, ophthalmic, hypophyseal and posterior communicating segments) will receive stent assisted coiling by the Penumbra Liberty Stent with any approved embolic coils currently on the market. Wide-neck aneurysms are defined by a neck ≥4mm or a dome-to-neck ratio \<2. Each patient will be followed and assessed for 2, 6 and 12 months after enrollment.

NCT02098967
This open label, Phase I study of RO6839921 is a dose-escalation study with two arms. Prior to investigations in either arm, patients in a single cohort, Cohort 0, will receive non-escalating, intravenous (IV) doses of RO6839921 daily on Days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle. Interim PK and safety data from this cohort will be evaluated before initiating dose-escalation. In arm A, RO6839921 will be given to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. In Arm B, RO6839921 will be given to patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The arms will escalate independently. Escalation will begin in solid tumor patients (Arm A) in single patient cohorts, using a new Continual Reassessment Method (n-CRM). Escalation for AML patients will be initiated at or below the dose level that causes \>/= Grade 2 hematologic side effects in Arm A. Escalation in AML patients will follow a rolling 6 design. In both arms, RO6839921 will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1-5 of 28-day cycles. There will be no intrapatient dose escalation. All patients may be treated until disease progression/relapse or unacceptable toxicity.
