NCT00901901
This is a randomized trial to evaluate the clinical benefit of sorafenib 400 mg twice daily and erlotinib 150 mg once a day versus sorafenib 400 mg twice daily and placebo erlotinib once daily in subjects with unresectable advanced or metastatic Child-Pugh A HCC. Patients who are candidates for potentially curative intervention (i.e. surgical resection or local ablation) are not eligible for this study.
NCT02877056
The goal of this laboratory research is to look for genes that can predict which patients will achieve a complete disappearance of their colorectal cancer after treatment like chemotherapy, radiation, or other therapy. This is an investigational study. Up to 350 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
NCT00777192
The goal of this research study is to learn more about the pain and/or other symptoms that patients may experience within five years from CRC diagnosis. Researchers also want to learn how genetic differences may affect the symptoms patients experience from cancer and cancer therapy.
NCT02122471
The purpose of this study is to confirm that the investigational medication, plecanatide, is safe and effective in treating chronic idiopathic constipation.
NCT01788787
The goal of this behavioral research study is to learn about the outcomes of smoking cessation treatment. Researchers want to learn how many smokers stopped smoking after taking part in smoking cessation treatment with the Texas Quitline.
NCT01429987
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 12 week repeat oral dose, dose ranging study to determine the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of plecanatide compared to placebo in patients with Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC).
NCT02240030
This randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled CVT 301 compared with placebo in PD patients experiencing motor response fluctuations (OFF phenomena) as an outpatient (i.e., at home) and in the clinic. Patients who successfully complete this study will be eligible to enroll into a 12 month treatment extension (CVT-301-004E) study.
NCT01722318
This is a randomized, 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study in patients with IBS-C.
NCT01663870
The goal of this research study to learn about breast cancer survivorship and possible ways to improve breast cancer survivorship programs using technology. Objectives: Objective 1: Assess breast cancer survivors on the acceptability of and preferences for the integration of patient navigation and an eHealth technology platform to improve care in the Survivorship Clinic at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital. Objective 2: Assess clinic stakeholders acceptability of and preferences for the integration of patient navigation and an eHealth technology platform to improve care for breast cancer patients in the Survivorship Clinic at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital.
NCT00384696
The goal of this behavioral research study is to put together and study a treatment for nicotine dependence that looks at how participant's thoughts and feelings about smoking may be related to how successfully they quit smoking.
NCT03043508
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of estrogen on the development of the PNET in MEN1 patients. The secondary objective is to evaluate the overall survival and disease specific survival in patients who have confirmed MEN1 with or without PNET and a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in relation to their hormone status. The secondary objective is to evaluate clinicopathologic features in relation to hormone status.
NCT02236559
The overall objective of this study is to determine if Vapotherm high flow nasal cannula therapy (HFT), when used to treat respiratory failure in the ED, is at least equivalent to the current standard of care for non-invasive ventilatory support, non-invasive positive pressure mask ventilation (NIPPV). Moreover, this study will investigate the potential that HFT has possible advantages over NIPPV, such as decreased time to patient stability from respiratory failure, and the ease of use as a first line intervention for respiratory failure in the ED environment. The hypothesis is that HFT via the Vapotherm Precision Flow will demonstrate clinical non-inferiority when compared to NIPPV with regard to treatment failure by way of an impact on ventilation indices and a lower intolerance rate, and have a positive association with hospital disposition and length of stay.
NCT02477943
This study (Part 1) is designed to build a database including EEG, neurocognitive performance, clinical symptoms, history and other relevant data, which will be used to derive a multimodal EEG based algorithm for the identification of concussion and tracking of recovery. In addition, neuroimaging will be conducted at time of injury and following Return to Play (RTP).
NCT03044600
Objectives: 1. To better define the differences in molecular genetics of parathyroid tumors in patients with MEN1, single gland parathyroid disease in patients less than 50 years old and single gland disease in patients greater than 50 years old. 2. To better define the incidence of HRPT2 mutation in young patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and determine whether routine testing in these patients is indicated.
NCT02661633
This study (Part 2) is designed to build a database including EEG, neurocognitive performance, clinical symptoms, history and other relevant data, which will be used to derive a multimodal EEG based algorithm for the identification of concussion and tracking of recovery. In addition, neuroimaging will be conducted at time of injury and following Return to Play (RTP).
NCT02887872
Objective: To explore the effectiveness of a combined neuromuscular electrical stimulation (ES) and dynamic hand orthosis (DHO) regimen used with a small group of persons with chronic stroke in improving ability to perform daily tasks. Method: Four participants with chronic stroke participated in the combined ES-DHO regimen using the affected upper extremity (UE) five times (5X) per week for 6 weeks. Outcome measures included grip strength, range of motion (ROM), and analysis of muscle activation/deactivation during release of grasp through electromyography (EMG). Ability to perform daily functional tasks was assessed using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS). Results: Preliminary results suggest that improvements in strength, ROM and grasp deactivation are possible with the combined ES-DHO regimen. Ability to perform daily functional tasks improved in all participants. Conclusion: Results should be interpreted cautiously due to the pilot nature of the study and small participant number. Further research in this area is warranted.
NCT02957461
This study is Part 1 of data collection from 18-25 years old subject population for validation of previously derived algorithms. This data will be combined with that collected under NCT03671083 (Part 2 with subject age range 13-25 years) for the final analyses of validation of the algorithms.
NCT01755052
SILVER-AMI is a research study of older persons who are admitted to the hospital with a heart attack. Patients will be interviewed in the hospital and again 6 months later. The researchers will also collect detailed medical record information to understand the effect of heart attacks on older persons. The research team at Yale University will use this information to develop a risk model that can be used to help doctors predict recovery. The goal of the study is to help older people in the future make well-informed decisions about their health care during a heart attack.
NCT02352363
This study is a 12-month, open-label, randomized, multicenter study which will evaluate the safety and efficacy of CVT-301 for the treatment of up to 5 OFF episodes per day in Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients experiencing motor fluctuations (OFF episodes) and will include a concurrent observational cohort of PD patients managed using the usual standards of care.
NCT02186171
The study is designed to evaluate if treatment with romosozumab once a month for 12 months compared with placebo is effective in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine. Additionally, the study will assess the effect of treatment with romosozumab for 12 months compared with placebo on BMD at the femoral neck and total hip.
