NCT00034827
CI-1040 is an experimental drug that is being tested in patients who have advanced colorectal and lung cancer who failed no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen, breast cancer who have failed no more than 2 prior regimens and in patients with pancreatic cancer who have received no prior chemotherapy. CI-1040 is taken orally twice daily with meals. Patients are required to have blood tests periodically while receiving treatment and will be monitored closely throughout the trial for possible side effects and for response.
NCT00277992
Children with HLHS have a history of poor enteral intake and growth. Over the past several years a modification to the Norwood operation was instituted (RV to PA shunt in place of the standard Blalock-Taussig shunt). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether children who underwent this modification of the Norwood procedure had improved growth compared to those in past years who underwent traditional Norwood.
NCT00268073
The records of all the patients that underwent the Norwood-Sano operation at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2004 will be investigated. These patients will be compared with an equal number of consecutive cases treated by classic Norwood stage I operation in order to determine the incidence of neo-aortic valve insufficiency and the clinical outcome of these patients.
NCT00267397
The purpose of this project is to conduct population based surveillance for prenatally diagnosed congenital defects amount residents of the five counties to: improve the comprehensiveness of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) to (1) better fulfill its objectives (2) allow assessment of the impact of prenatal diagnosis and elective termination on the birth prevalence of congenital defects in Atlanta (3) develop a registry of prenatally diagnosed defects to be used in epidemiologic and genetic studies, in evaluation prevention programs and in monitoring prenatal diagnostic technology.
NCT00267423
Hypothesis 1 (H1): Epicardial biventricular pacing is a safe and feasible method of pacing in young patients. Over the last two years, physicians at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta have been implanting epicardial BiV pacing systems in children determined to have ventricular dyssynchrony caused by numerous cardiac diagnoses. The decision to use these pacing systems was based on the knowledge gained by adult studies. Since the use of these pacing systems in the pediatric population has not been formally studied, we propose a study to retrospectively review the safety and feasibility of epicardial BiV pacing in pediatric patients. This study will involve the review of the medical records of children who received epicardial BiV systems at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta between January 2002 and May 2004.
NCT00327782
Palliative care in pediatric oncology and neurology is well described in the literature. There is a lack of information on the care of children terminally ill due to heart failure. A significant number of children are diagnosed with terminal heart failure for which palliative care is required. Objective: To describe palliative care of children over one year of age with end-stage heart failure, including need for and types of pain control, hospice use, need for and use of home nursing and quality of life issues.
NCT00327691
The primary objective of this study is to determine the degree of additional reduction in cardiovascular risk that was accrued to patients by lowering their LDL-C beyond the currently accepted minimum target level for patients with pre-existing CHD. Secondary objectives include the safety profile of this treatment strategy, its cost-effectiveness, effect on other atherosclerotic-related events and procedures, and total mortality.
NCT00290017
This Phase 3 study will compare the efficacy of talabostat plus pemetrexed to pemetrexed plus placebo in patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC who have failed a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen.
NCT00051051
CI-1033 is an experimental drug that acts as an inhibitor of erbB (EGFR) receptors, which may be involved in tumor growth. The primary objective of this study is to assess the antitumor activity of CI-1033 in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic (Stage IV) breast cancer and who have received no more than 2 prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens are eligible for this study. CI-1033 is administered orally. Patients are required to have blood tests periodically while receiving treatment and will be closely monitored throughout the study for possible side effects and response to treatment. Patients may not have received any prior treatment with other agents that target erbB receptors, including Herceptin (trastuzumab) or Iressa (gefitinib).
NCT00054795
The primary purpose of the study is to determine if patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer treated with Motexafin Gadolinium and whole brain radiation therapy retain their neurologic function and ability to think for a longer time compared to patients treated with whole brain radiation therapy alone.
NCT00039910
Intensive chemotherapy is associated with significant thrombocytopenia, often requiring platelet transfusion to maintain platelet counts. This investigational drug has been demonstrated to increase platelet counts. This study will test the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug in the prevention of thrombocytopenia in patients with recurrent or refractory intermediate-grade or high-grade non-Burkitt's, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin's disease receiving DHAP (Dexamethasone, high-dose Cytarabine, and Cisplatin) chemotherapy.
NCT00143364
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of varenicline given for a twelve week treatment period in comparison with placebo and Zyban for smoking cessation.
NCT00192439
\- Estimate the incidence rate of hMPV infection detected by RT-PCR from frozen nasal wash aspirates in children at high risk for severe LRI disease (hospitalized at \<2 years of age).
NCT00125944
The objective is to assess the safety of bivalent vaccine of two new 6:2 influenza virus reassortants in healthy adults prior to the release of the trivalent vaccine (FluMist) containing them.
NCT00094159
The purpose of this study is to determine whether SNS-595 given intravenously weekly for 3 weeks is safe.
NCT00301340
Summers Laboratories has developed a non-pesticide treatment for head lice. Lice Asphyxiator (L.A.) works by mechanically blocking the respiratory spiracles of the head lice, therefore causing a quick-acting suffocation that will not result in the development of resistance. The objectives of this open label study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of home use of two 10-minute treatments of 5% L.A. (applied one week apart).
NCT00244322
The purposes of this study are to determine: * The safety of LY450139 dihydrate and any side effects that might be associated with it. * How much LY450139 dihydrate should be given and how long it may be detected in blood. * To determine if LY450139 dihydrate may have an effect on a protein found in blood, called A beta. This protein is studied in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. * To collect and store samples from blood and spinal fluid for research related to Alzheimer's disease and similar (neurodegenerative) diseases or inflammation (irritation) that may provide information on how subjects respond to LY450139 or other medications. Length of study: Approximately 29 weeks. Number of office visits: 11 for most subjects: initial visit, every other week during 14 weeks of study drug treatment, and 2 follow-up visits. At no cost, approximately 45 eligible participants will receive: * Study medication * Study-related diagnostic and laboratory evaluations
