NCT03189758
Sodium-adapted magnetic resonance imaging (23Na-MRI) studies have demonstrated that sodium accumulates in certain tissues, including the skin and skeletal muscle, but may be manipulated by lifestyle factors or therapeutic interventions such as a hemodialysis (HD) session. This tissue sodium accumulation is increased with age and in the presence of certain chronic diseases such as renal failure, and may contribute to the development of high blood pressure. It currently not known what the impact of dietary sodium consumption has on tissue sodium in HD patient's and on the subsequent risk of cardiovascular complications either acutely or chronically. The University of Illinois' Biomedical Imaging Center recently completed safety testing on a 23Na-MRI coil that they modified for measuring skin and muscle sodium levels in the lower leg/calf that will be used for assessing the impact of dietary salt restriction on tissue sodium levels.
NCT01909791
Although multiple studies have clearly demonstrated that ranibizumab therapy is more effective than laser alone for vision gain and avoiding vision loss in patients with central-involved Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), only eyes with poor visual acuity, such as a visual acuity letter score of 78 or worse (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/32 or worse) were eligible. Eyes that have central-involved DME with "good" visual acuity (20/25 or better) have not been addressed systematically by recent studies for treatment of DME. Baseline cohort characteristics from the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) suggest that a substantial percentage of eyes with central-involved DME may retain good vision. The investigators do not know definitively whether eyes with central-involved DME and good vision do better with anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) (e.g. aflibercept) therapy initially, or focal/grid laser treatment or observation initially followed by anti-VEGF only if vision worsens. The primary objective of the protocol is to compare the % of eyes that have lost at least 5 letters of visual acuity at 2 years compared with baseline mean visual acuity in eyes with central-involved DME and good visual acuity defined as a Snellen equivalent of 20/25 or better (electronic-ETDRS letter score of 79 or better) that receive (1) prompt focal/grid photocoagulation + deferred anti-VEGF, (2) observation + deferred anti-VEGF, or (3) prompt anti-VEGF. Secondary objectives include: * Comparing other visual acuity outcomes between treatment groups, such as the percent of eyes with at least 5, 10 and 15 letter losses in visual acuity from baseline mean visual acuity, percent of eyes with at least 5 letter gain in visual acuity from baseline, mean visual acuity, mean change in visual acuity, adjusted for baseline mean visual acuity * For eyes randomized to deferred anti-VEGF, the percentage of eyes needing anti-VEGF treatment * Comparing optical coherence tomography (OCT) outcomes, such as the mean change in OCT central subfield (CSF) thickness, adjusted for baseline mean thickness * Comparing the number of eyes with PDR at randomization, proportion of eyes avoiding vitreous hemorrhage or panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) or vitrectomy for PDR between treatment groups * Comparing safety outcomes between treatment groups * Comparing associated treatment and follow-up exam costs between treatment groups
NCT02718326
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of intravitreal (IVT) aflibercept compared to sham treatment in the improvement of moderately severe to severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). The secondary objectives of the study are: * To characterize the safety of IVT aflibercept in patients with moderately severe to severe NPDR * To determine if IVT aflibercept will prevent the worsening of diabetic retinopathy and reduce the incidence of DME * To determine the anatomic effects of IVT aflibercept in patients with moderately severe to severe NPDR

Approximately 30 subjects will be randomized to ensure 26 subjects complete the study. An optional 9 month open label is available
NCT00020761
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining irinotecan and paclitaxel in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent cancer of the esophagus or stomach.
NCT02737202
This study is being done to determine if there is a potential benefit of saracatinib in LAM subjects. Based on the information of this trial, additional clinical development trials will be needed. The study will also test the tolerability of 125 mg of saracatinib given once daily over a 9 month period.
NCT02674386
A4091064 is a multicenter, long-term observational study of subjects from tanezumab interventional studies (regardless of treatment group) who undergo a total knee, hip or shoulder replacement during participation in the study. The study is designed with a total duration of subject follow-up of 24 weeks after the total joint replacement surgery. There will be two methods of data collection utilized in this study: interview by site staff via the telephone and interactive web-response system (or paper if the subject has no access to the internet).
NCT00355056
The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) (a hole in the heart), using the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder, on the incidence of migraine headaches.
NCT02640235
The study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CELSTAT vs active control.
NCT03170232
This is a pilot study to investigate the effect of danirixin hydrobromide 35 milligram (mg) tablets on lung function and health related quality of life (HRQoL) in subjects with mild to moderate airflow obstruction and a demonstrated history of decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Specifically, this study aims to assess whether or not danirixin has the potential to impact disease progression in subjects with a COPD progression score indicating they are likely to decline based on 5 year data from a COPDGene study and support the conduct of a larger Phase III study for disease progression. Subjects will receive either placebo or danirixin 35 mg tablets (as hydrobromide hemihydrate salt) twice daily for 52 weeks (12months). Study subjects will continue with their standard of care inhaled medications (i.e. long acting bronchodilators with or without inhaled corticosteroids) while receiving study treatment. This study will be an ancillary study within the COPDGene study investigating the enrichment strategy for assessing disease progression. Potential subjects most likely to decline from the well established COPDGene cohort, will be based on data collected over the initial 5 year period. With the use of an enriched population, it is anticipated that one year of treatment will be sufficient to detect a trend in altering disease progression. Approximately 130 subjects will be screened to enroll 100 subjects in this study. The data from this study will provide useful information in determining whether to progress to a Phase III study to explore an indication for slowing disease progression.
NCT01745497
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterized by difficulties in language, social communication, and repetitive and restricted behaviors. ASD affects as many as 1 in 90-150 children. Sleep issues/insomnia is very common in children with ASD (50-80%). Insomnia has a negative impact on both the developmental and behavioral function of the child and the quality of life for the family. Causes of insomnia in children with ASD are multifactorial and can be difficult to treat effectively. Low iron stores, as manifest by low serum ferritin levels, is also common in children with ASD. Both insomnia and low iron stores are associated with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Limb Movement of Sleep (PLMS). Children with ASD often have difficulty communicating symptoms or tolerating Polysomnography (Sleep Study). This makes establishing a diagnosis of RLS or PLMS very difficult in children with ASD.
NCT01175980
This phase II trial studies how well vorinostat works in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01602211
This randomized clinical trial studies an internet and social-media program for improving quality of life in long-term survivors who underwent stem cell transplant. In this study, researchers want to compare a survivorship internet program to the standard treatment of currently available internet sites for transplant survivors to learn which works better for people who have received bone marrow or blood stem cell transplants. A survivorship-focused internet program may improve mood, stress, and preventive health care, and provide useful health resources for transplant survivors. It is not yet known whether currently available internet sites are more effective than a survivorship-focused internet program in improving quality of life in cancer survivors.

NCT00004889
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rituximab in treating patients who have Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
NCT00062179
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as paclitaxel and carboplatin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Celecoxib may increase the effectiveness of a chemotherapy drug by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug, may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor, and/or may block the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy with celecoxib before surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin followed by surgery works compared to giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin and celecoxib followed by surgery in treating patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.
