NCT00592046
This study uses a new investigational (not yet approved by the FDA for widespread use) drug called ZIO-101, an organic arsenical. You must be diagnosed to have relapsed/refractory leukemia or lymphoma (blood cancer) and have tried other standard therapies. This study is designed to determine whether ZIO-101 may be given safely. The study will also test whether ZIO-101 helps to treat blood cancer. We anticipate that approximately 22 to 35 patients will take part in this study. Arsenic has been used as a medicinal agent for centuries in many different cultures. Most recently in the United States, an inorganic arsenic compound was approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with relapsed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, use of inorganic arsenic is limited by a narrow range of activity and systemic toxicity, most notably of the cardiac system. ZIO-101 is an organic arsenic derivative. In vitro testing in both the National Cancer Institute (NCI) cancer cell panel and in vivo testing in a leukemia animal model demonstrated substantial activity of SGLU against hematologic cancers. In vitro testing of SGLU using the NCI human cancer cell panel also detected activity against lung, colon and brain cancers, melanoma, and ovary and kidney cancers. Moderate activity was seen against breast and prostate cancers cells. Data suggest that organic arsenic generates reactive oxygen species in the cells to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
NCT01204892
The purpose if to find out if analgesia with bilateral ultrasound-guided Tranversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block with Ropivacaine 0.5% is better than analgesia with local infiltration of trochar sites with Ropivacaine 0.5% in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Our hypothesis is that in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, bilateral TAP blocks will reduce postoperative pain scores when compared to conventional postoperative pain control with local infiltration of trochar insertion sites.
NCT00759057
This non-inferiority study will compare the clinical outcomes of subjects implanted with the Dynesys Spinal System versus the clinical outcomes of subjects implanted with an instrumented posterior lateral spinal fusion.
NCT00977080
Evaluates the effectiveness of on-label Paricalcitol versus Cinacalcet with Low-Dose Vitamin D.
NCT00510419
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate an investigational auto-injector system for delivering sumatriptan under the skin for a single migraine attack. The study could take approximately 5 weeks and will include about 3 office visits to the study doctor, the patient will be contacted every 2 weeks until the patient experiences a migraine and uses the auto-injector. The last visit will be done by a telephone follow-up call.
NCT00818493
This is a Phase 2 3-arm, open label pilot study of the safety and efficacy of Q8003 in patients who have undergone primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty.
NCT00560183
This study will explore the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose combination of morphine and oxycodone for management of acute postoperative pain. The study will explore the efficacy dose response and dosing interval required to maintain adequate analgesia at each tested dosage strength.
NCT01055015
This is a Phase 3, two-arm, double-blind study of efficacy and safety of Q8003 in patients who have undergone primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty
NCT00267046
Primary: 1. To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of palifermin in reducing the incidence and severity of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with sarcoma receiving multicycle chemotherapy. 2. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of palifermin when given pre chemotherapy. 3. To evaluate the safety profile of palifermin when combined with multicycle chemotherapy. Exploratory: 1. To evaluate the biologic effect of palifermin on oral mucosa. 2. To investigate potential biomarker development by biochemical analysis in blood cells, serum, and plasma. 3. To investigate the effects of genetic variation in mucositis genes, drug metabolism genes, and drug target genes on patient response to the treatment regimen.
NCT01016808
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, fixed dose factorial study of Q8003 12 mg/8 mg versus its individual morphine sulfate and oxycodone hydrochloride components for the management of acute moderate to severe postoperative pain following bunionectomy surgery.
NCT00327392
Very often patients receive medications before a diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure to help them relax, keep them calm, and to relieve them from pain. This is called procedural sedation. With respect to minimal-to-moderate procedural sedation for minor surgical procedures, a patient is first given a pain-relief medication (analgesic) and then a medication to help him/her relax and keep calm (sedative). AQUAVAN is a chemically modified form of propofol, a commonly-used sedative drug. AQUAVAN acts like a slow release version of propofol, and is being studied to see if it can safely keep patients calm and relaxed during their medical procedure and then allow for rapid and clear-headed recovery.
NCT00345631
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Ensure Medical Vascular Closure Device is more effective than standard manual compression at sealing the puncture made in the femoral artery following a cardiac or peripheral diagnostic or interventional procedure while maintaining the same level of safety.
NCT00228384
To evaluate the performance of the GORE VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis compared to a bare nitinol stent for the treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease in long lesions.
NCT00048659
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who take YM598 in addition to mitoxantrone and prednisone (standard therapy) experience improvement in the pain associated with prostate cancer metastases in the bone.
NCT00254579
CP-675,206 is a fully human monoclonal antibody (mAb). It binds to the CTLA4 molecule, which is expressed on the surface of activated T lymphocytes. CP-675,206 is thought to stimulate patients' immune systems to attack their tumors. CP-675,206 is not expected to have a direct effect on tumor cells. CP-675,206 been shown to induce durable tumor responses in patients with metastatic melanoma in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies.
NCT00000674
To collect information on the effectiveness and toxicity of clindamycin plus pyrimethamine and leucovorin calcium for the treatment of acute toxoplasmic encephalitis in adult patients with AIDS. Toxoplasmic encephalitis (encephalitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii) is the most frequent cause of focal central nervous system infection in patients with AIDS. If untreated, the encephalitis is fatal. At present, it is standard practice to give a combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine to treat toxoplasmic encephalitis. The high frequency of sulfonamide-induced toxicity in AIDS patients often makes completion of a full course of therapy difficult. There is some information that high doses of parenteral (such as by injection) clindamycin used with pyrimethamine may be as effective as pyrimethamine plus sulfadiazine in the management of the acute phase of toxoplasmic encephalitis in patients with AIDS. Administration of parenteral clindamycin for prolonged periods of time, however, is costly, requires hospitalization, and is inconvenient for the patient. There is some indication that treatment of AIDS patients with acute toxoplasmic encephalitis with oral clindamycin may be effective. Leucovorin calcium is useful in preventing pyrimethamine-associated bone marrow toxicity.
NCT00506610
The purpose of this study is to determine whether T-62 is effective in providing relief of pain that can occur after an individual experiences a shingles outbreak, which is an infection in adults caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox.
