NCT01993264
Cardiac disease in children may start early in life and evidence of cardiac disease can be seen during prenatal life. A variety of diseases diagnosed during fetal life can put children at risk for cardiac disease. The accurate assessment of cardiac function is important in these patients. A type of imaging scan called "fetal echocardiogram" is used to measure the contractility or squeeze of the heart. The fetal echocardiogram is a painless test and completely non-invasive. This study aims to recruit women and fetuses to determine if this imaging scan can be used throughout the pregnancy to measure heart squeeze and develop normal values to help doctors better diagnose fetuses who may have cardiac disease before they are born.
NCT01455389
The goal of phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest dose of DOTAP:Chol-TUSC2 that can be safely given in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride) to patients with NSCLC. The goal of phase 2 of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of DOTAP:Chol-TUSC2 and erlotinib hydrochloride can help to control NSCLC. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied in both phases. DOTAP:Chol-TUSC2 (previously FUS1) is a drug that helps transfer a gene called TUSC2 into cancer cells. Researchers think that cells without this gene may be involved in the development of lung cancer tumors. They want to find out if replacing the gene in these cells may keep the tissue from forming cancer cells. Erlotinib hydrochloride is designed to block a protein on tumor cells that may control tumor growth and survival. This may stop tumors from growing.
