NCT01825954
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of a noninvasive cortical electrostimulation therapy known as "Reduced Impedance Noninvasive Cortical Electrostimulation" (RINCE) in the management of fibromyalgia. Patients who meet the 1990 American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia will receive up to 24 RINCE treatments delivered by a medical device called "NeuroPoint". Approximately 45 fibromyalgia patients will be randomized into one of three study groups. One of these groups will receive sham treatment, meaning they will receive no treatment at all, while the remaining two groups will receive different amounts of RINCE therapy. The study's primary outcome measure will be the patient's change from baseline in self-reported 24-hour average pain intensity. The study's hypothesis is that there will be a difference between treatment groups in primary outcome measure.
NCT01958853
The purpose of this open label study is to provide up to 24 active treatments of noninvasive cortical electrostimulation therapy only to those fibromyalgia patients who experienced inadequate pain reduction in a sham controlled double blinded lead in study, NPT-201 (NCT01825954). The therapy will be provided by the NeuroPoint device using the same protocol as that used in active treatment arms of NPT-201. The study's primary outcome measure will be the patient's change from baseline in self-reported 24-hour average pain intensity. The study will provide active treatment to those participants who received sham therapy in NPT-201, and will test whether or not additional therapy applications might further improve pain in those participants who previously received active therapy, but did not achieve adequate pain relief.
NCT00743509

NCT00057564
To compare the efficacy of combination oral thalidomide plus oral dexamethasone treatment to that of oral dexamethasone-alone treatments as induction (first-line) therapy for subjects with active multiple myeloma
NCT00953706
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ivacaftor in participants with cystic fibrosis (CF) who were aged 12 years or older and were homozygous for the F508del-CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation. Ivacaftor is a potent and selective CFTR potentiator of wild-type, G551D, F508del, and R117H forms of human CFTR protein. Potentiators are pharmacological agents that increase the chloride ion transport properties of the channel in the presence of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation.
NCT01650012
Forty percent of patients that require dialysis for kidney failure die within three years mostly due to heart disease. Heart failure and high blood pressure are common problems in patients that require dialysis and are key causes of death due to heart disease. Eplerenone is a drug that is very effective at improving heart failure and reducing blood pressure in patients that do not require dialysis. There is currently no evidence to tell physicians whether eplerenone would have similar benefits in patients that require dialysis. This evidence can only be reliably generated by performing a large scale study. Before such a study is undertaken, the investigators must determine whether eplerenone will be well tolerated and safe in patients that require dialysis. The investigators will perform an initial small trial called the Pilot trial in Hemodialysis patients undergoing Aldosterone antagoniSm with Eplerenone (PHASE) to determine if eplerenone is a well tolerated, safe medication to use in a very large, global study that will show whether or not eplerenone reduces important outcomes for patients like death from heart causes.

NCT00455169
Background. Influenza is increasingly recognized as causing severe respiratory illness in children. High-risk infants, like former premature infants, and particularly those with lung disease, have influenza hospitalization rates about five times higher than healthy children. Influenza vaccine does not protect young children against influenza as well as it does healthy adults. A small study that measured antibodies (proteins that protect against infection) to influenza suggested that premature infants get even less protection from influenza vaccine than full-term infants. More information about influenza vaccine in premature infants is needed. The overall goals of this project are to collect information about the how well the influenza vaccine induces antibody production, and to develop the collaborative network of centers necessary for a larger trial of influenza vaccine in premature infants. Objective and Hypotheses. The objective of this study is to measure the amount of protective antibody produced by influenza vaccine in premature (less than 30 weeks' \[about 7 months\] gestation at birth), extremely-low-birth-weight (1000 grams \[2¼ pounds\] or less at birth) infants. Influenza vaccine needs to be given yearly. We will assess premature infants during their first series of influenza vaccines. We hypothesize that the levels of antibody will be lower in premature infants receiving their first series of influenza vaccine than in full-term infants. Design. We will measure the immune response in premature and full term infants. During the 2007-2008 influenza season, a total of 92 subjects, divided among 2 groups (premature infants 6-17 months old receiving their first influenza vaccine series and full-term infants 6-17 months old receiving their first influenza vaccine series) will be recruited at a consortium of five centers (the University of Rochester, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Wake Forest University, the University of Miami and the State University of New York at Buffalo), receive 2 doses of influenza vaccine, and have antibody and immune cell responses to each vaccine component measured 4-6 weeks after the second dose of vaccine. Potential Impact. If this study and future investigations suggested ways to improve premature infants influenza vaccine responses, they could lead to changes in recommendations for the number or timing of vaccine doses or of the type of vaccine used in this high-risk group.

NCT01204801
The purpose of this randomized Phase III study is to determine whether preoperative focused microwave heat treatment and chemotherapy combined are more effective than preoperative chemotherapy alone in the treatment of large breast cancer tumors in the intact breast. Combining heat with chemotherapy before surgery might shrink the tumor so that it can be removed in a breast conserving surgery (lumpectomy) instead of a mastectomy.
NCT00159224
This study will assess the safety, tolerability and antiviral activity of a simplified PI-based treatment regimen (Kaletra,ä) compared to conventional HAART regimens in patients infected with HIV-1 who are on their first boosted-PI antiretroviral treatment regimen. The potency of the antiviral activity of Kaletra has been clearly demonstrated in a wide spectrum of patients in a number of different clinical trials.6-9 The durable viral suppression seen after 4 years of therapy10 proves that it can provide effective, long-term treatment for people with HIV-1. Data from one of these trials (M97-720),6 an ongoing Phase II study of lopinavir/ritonavir in combination with NRTIs suggests there may be a role for monoclass therapy with Kaletra in the treatment of HIV-1-infection.
