NCT00460824
Transplant rejection following organ transplant occurs because the recipient's immune system attacks the transplanted organ. The recipients immune system recognizes the transplanted organ as foreign tissue and attempts to destroy it in the similar way that it attempts to destroy infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is a set of genes that is responsible for controlling an individuals' ability to tell the difference between an infectious agent and self tissue. Differences in HLA genes between donors and recipients play a major part in influencing the rejection or acceptance of foreign tissue (i.e. transplanted organs). Due to time limitations in heart transplantation, HLA matching is not considered. It is unclear how individual HLA differences affect the recovery and expected lifespan of pediatric heart transplant recipients. This study is designed to look at the donor-recipient matching and mismatching to determine if mismatching leads to more complications, shorter graft survival and, therefore, increased risk of death following pediatric heart transplantation.
NCT00074984
People with Fabry disease have an alteration in their genetic material (DNA) which causes a deficiency of the a-galactosidase A enzyme. Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) is a drug that helps to breakdown and remove certain types of fatty substances called "glycolipids." These glycolipids are normally present within the body in most cells. In Fabry disease, glycolipids build up in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, skin, and blood vessels because a-galactosidase A is not present, or is present in small quantities. The build up of glycolipid ("globotriaosylceramide" or "GL-3") levels in these tissues in particular is thought to cause the clinical symptoms that are common to Fabry disease. This study will test the safety and efficacy of Fabrazyme in the treatment of patients with Fabry disease.
NCT00576576
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Atorvastatin on the coronary atherosclerosis plaque morphology.
NCT00132314
In the proposed study 450 veterans with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia who had at least one psychiatric hospitalization for schizophrenia in the previous 2 years would be randomly assigned at 16 VA medical centers to long-acting injectable risperidone or doctor's choice of oral antipsychotic medication (i.e., excluding other long-acting injectable medications, but not specifying any particular oral agents or dosages). Recruitment would take 27 months to complete, and the study would continue for a third year to allow 9 months of follow-up for the last patient recruited. All patients would be treated from the time of entry up to the end of the three-year study period. Follow-up assessments would continue quarterly. Treatments would not be blinded since giving placebo injections to the comparison group would interfere with the goal of comparing the acceptability of two different methods of medication administration. However, end points will be blindly rated.
NCT01513863
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that metronidazole 1% topical gel is effective for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe rosacea.
NCT00008281
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy is more effective for metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of three chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00525512
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects on exercise duration of 96 weeks treatment with 18 mcg tiotropium (Spiriva HandiHaler) daily as compared to placebo, in patients with COPD.
NCT00370981
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pagoclone in the treatment of premature ejaculation.
NCT00027833
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tetanus toxoid may make tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy and vaccine therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and vaccine therapy with or without tetanus toxoid compared with chemotherapy alone in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00794586
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dose combinations of fosfomycin/tobramycin for inhalation (FTI), following a 28-day course of Aztreonam for Inhalation (AZLI) in patients with cystic fibrosis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection.
NCT00128583
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying vaccine therapy to see how well it works in treating patients with malignant melanoma.
NCT00291057
In a previous phase II study, the safety and efficacy of a novel formulation of malathion 0.5% was evaluated in patients 2 years of age and older. Based on the results of that study, this formulation is currently in a phase III study for that population. The current study will use blood markers and clinical evaluations to determine the safety and tolerability of this formulation when used in children 6-24 months of age.
NCT00909259
The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine the effect of stimulating the phrenic nerve to treat periodic breathing (a pattern of breathing characterized by hyperpneas followed by hypopneas or apneas). Clinically, these physiologic events translate into sleep fragmentation, excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced exercise capacity, and possibly ventricular arrhythmias. Stage 1 of the study is acute in nature, such that subjects will undergo the placement of a stimulation lead, followed by assessment of stimulation of the phrenic nerve using the lead for up to 2 nights of sleep. A sensing lead may also be placed during the initial implant procedure. Observational data will be obtained and stimulation provided using an externalized system connected to the study leads. Following the study, all investigational components will be removed from the patient. Stage 2 of the study is being conducted at one of the participating sites to determine the initial safety of chronic stimulation of the phrenic nerve in a limited number of patients with sleep disordered breathing. It is anticipated that data obtained in this feasibility study will show that the proposed intervention can modify respiration with a low incidence of adverse effects. The results of this trial are intended to be used to develop a subsequent protocol for a multi-center study of chronic phrenic nerve pacing.
NCT00651027
The metabolism of PF-00868554 is primarily mediated by CYP3A, and it is anticipated that hepatic impairment will modify PF-00868554 plasma concentrations. Hence, it is important to determine the impact of varying degrees of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics, safety and toleration of 200 mg PF-00868554 administered as a single-dose.
NCT00312208
Primary objective : * To compare disease-free survival after treatment with docetaxel in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel in operable adjuvant breast cancer HER2neu negative patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Secondary objectives : * To compare toxicity and quality of life between the 2 above-mentioned arms. * To evaluate pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy.
NCT00004025
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells combined with melanoma antigens may make the body build an immune response to tumor cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill melanoma cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 may be an effective treatment for stage III or stage IV melanoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy with or without interleukin-2 in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be surgically removed.
