NCT01283971
This randomized, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) versus adalimumab, both in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients, already treated with MTX at stable doses, will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks or adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneous (SC) every 2 weeks. All patients will receive methotrexate (10-25 mg weekly) and folate (at least 5 mg weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
NCT00520143
Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The objective of this expanded access study is to provide patients with Pompe disease in the United States (US), access to alglucosidase alfa produced from a scaled up manufacturing process for a limited time until production at this scale is approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration.
NCT00028353
If you are a male 30 years of age or older and have a positive diagnosis of high grade (II or III) prostate Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN) or have had an abnormal/suspicious prostate biopsy, you may be eligible for this study. This is a study of an investigational medication that may reduce high grade PIN and prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer. This study is currently enrolling up to 500 men at approximately 60 locations in the United States.
NCT00066482
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effect on the body of combining cyclophosphamide with cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin in treating children who have newly diagnosed malignant germ cell tumors that are not in the brain and gonads.
NCT01140217
The purpose of this study is to determine whether NEA TDS is effective in the prevention of pregnancy. The safety of this product will also be evaluated.
NCT01556711
The objectives of the study are to document device performance with respect to the primary and secondary endpoints.
NCT00930787
Support of a ventral hernia repair with a prosthetic mesh has been demonstrated to result in a diminished rate of hernia recurrence. The patient with co-morbidities undergoing hernia repair is at increased risk of wound related complications, which may be exacerbated by the choice of prosthetic mesh, and which are known to influence the ultimate rate of hernia recurrence. It is hypothesized that patients receiving a mesh of biologic origin may experience fewer wound related complications and hence at least an equal rate of hernia recurrence, compared to those receiving a synthetic mesh.
NCT00714493
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of treatment in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are having an inadequate response to at least 3 months of treatment with etanercept or adalimumab in addition to methotrexate.
NCT00676533
The primary objective of this clinical trial was to determine the time to improvement of the signs and symptoms (eg, dysuria, frequency, urgency, gross hematuria, suprapubic pain, hesitancy, low back pain) of acute, uncomplicated, symptomatic, lower UTIs in women treated with Cipro XR 500 mg once daily for 3 days.
NCT01273090
RATIONALE: Imetelstat sodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of imetelstat sodium in treating young patients with refractory or recurrent solid tumors or lymphoma.
NCT01586533
This double-blind, randomized, comparator-controlled Phase II study is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of Zoenasa Rectal Gel compared to mesalamine enema in subjects with left-sided ulcerative colitis, as measured by the modified ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UCDAI), over 6 weeks of treatment. In this study, two cohorts of subjects will receive either Zoenasa-1:4 (1.0g NAC; 4.0g 5-ASA) investigational drug enema therapy or comparator mesalamine enema (4.0g 5-ASA). The study will enroll subjects randomized equally into the 2 cohorts. Each cohort will enroll approximately 60 subjects. The two arms of the trial will be enrolled concurrently in a randomized fashion.
NCT01375127
This is an observational study designed to collect follow-up clinical date on subjects who were treated with tofacitinib in 2 completed Phase 2 studies who either discontinued treatment prematurely or did not elect to enroll in long-term extension studies.
NCT00005958
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel plus filgrastim in treating patients who have locally recurrent or advanced urothelium cancer.
NCT00991939
This study will compare treatment with 3 courses of high-dose dexamethasone versus treatment with prednisone, for patients recently diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The primary hypothesis is that patients treated with high-dose dexamethasone will obtain a more durable remission than patients treated with prednisone.
NCT00003292
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ifosfamide in treating patients with meningeal tumors that have recurred or that cannot be removed surgically.
NCT00862459
The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of Gadavist when used for taking images of the brain and spine. The results of the MRI with Gadavist Injection will be compared to the results of MR images taken without contrast and with the results of the MR images taken with OptiMARK.

NCT02058342
Compared to other children, those with disability have additional challenges to being physically active. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a genetic form of childhood obesity that is characterized by hypotonia, growth hormone deficiency, behavioral, and cognitive disability. In children, the low prevalence of PWS (1 in 10,000 to 15,000 live births) makes group-based physical activity (PA) interventions impossible. In contrast, the home environment presents a natural venue to establish a PA routine for this population. The present high prevalence of non-syndromal childhood obesity (one in four) and high physical inactivity rates, make alternative approaches to increasing PA in this population an area of high interest. Therefore, we have developed a 24-week home-based physical activity that could be suitable for children and adolescents ages 8-15 with PWS as well as obese children without PWS ages 8-11 years. It is hypothesized that: 1) an age-appropriate 24-week home-based PA intervention will increase PA levels in youth with PWS and without the syndrome but with obesity; 2) motor proficiency, central sensory reception and integration, and body composition will significantly improve in youth with and without PWS following completion of the home-based PA intervention and 3) physical activity self-efficacy and quality of life will increase significantly in youth with and without PWS who complete the home-based PA intervention. The study participants are 115 youth ages 8-15 y (45 with PWS and 70 without PWS but categorized as obese). The study utilizes a parallel design with the wait-listed control group receiving the intervention after serving as control. Participants are expected to complete the PA curriculum 4 days a week for six months including playground games 2 days a week and interactive console games 2 days a week. Parents are trained at baseline and then provided with a PA curriculum (Active Play at Home) and equipment to guide their implementation of the program at home. Measurements of children and parent dyads are assessed at baseline and at the end (week 24) of the intervention or control periods. Outcome measures include PA, body composition, motor proficiency, central sensory reception and integration (subsample of children only), quality of life and physical activity self-efficacy. PA intervention compliance is monitored using mail-in daily self-report checklists.
