NCT03029975
Humans lose muscle and strength as they get older. Further, ageing is accompanied by loss in cognitive function. It is not quite clear why this happens; however, it is known that the loss of muscle and strength can increase risk for physical and mental health risks and impair the ability of older people to remain physically independent. Weight lifting and proper nutrition, particularly eating high quality protein at the proper time and quantity, may help prevent these losses when a person gets older. To determine if regular beef consumption as part of a higher protein diet aids the muscle adaptive response to resistance training and improvements in cognition, seventy healthy individuals will be recruited to lift weights 3 times a week for 10 weeks. One group (n=36) will consume the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein (0.8g/kg/day), while the other group (n=36) will consume an amount twice the RDA (1.6g/kg/day), which is in agreement with recommendations from the American College of Sports Medicine. Participants will have their muscle strength tested and samples of blood and muscles will be collected before and after training to determine how the muscle adaptive response to resistance exercise is affected by higher protein intake. In addition, participants will undergo cognitive assessments at baseline and follow-up to determine the influence of improving muscle strength on attention and memory. Overall, the investigators proposed study will use sensitive methodology to determine if providing protein above the RDA and at optimal times during the day in combination with a weight lifting program can help make someone stronger and build larger muscles than someone consuming the RDA, as well as what processes may be responsible for helping the muscles to get bigger and stronger.
NCT00106301
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended treatment with FK228 in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma or hormone refractory prostate cancer who have at least demonstrated stable disease on prior Fujisawa sponsored FK228 clinical trials.
NCT01116544
The purpose of this study is to determine if individuals who had a stroke more than one year before entering the study and who remain unable to open their affected hand are better able to sense and move their affected arm after 10-15 weeks of treatment with a new robotic therapy device (the AMES device) and EMG biofeedback.
NCT01929408
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment methods and outcomes of patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
NCT03018340
To assess the efficacy of pimavanserin compared to placebo when given adjunctively to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant as treatment of patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and an inadequate response to antidepressant therapy
NCT02287467
Influenza (the flu) is a common illness that usually occurs in autumn and winter. The flu is usually mild, but can cause serious illness or death. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an antibody against the flu (called intravenous hyperimmune immunoglobulin or IVIG) in people who are hospitalized for severe flu.
NCT01925417
This study will assess the safety of a new biologic drug, RBX2660 (microbiota suspension) as a treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), which is the primary symptom of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. All eligible subjects will receive RBX2660.
NCT01852201
Primary Endpoint: The primary objective is to show that AIS patients, ineligible for or refractory to treatment with IV-tPA, with appropriate image selection, treated with mechanical thrombectomy within 6-12 hours of symptom onset have less stroke related disability and improved good functional outcomes as compared to those treated with best MT with respect to endpoint defined as: • 90-day global disability assessed via the modified Rankin score (mRS), analyzed using raw mRS scores. Statistical details can be found in section 7.2. Secondary Endpoints: * 90-day global disability in the 6-12 hr cohort assessed via the overall distribution of mRS * Proportion of patients with good functional recovery for the 6-12 hr cohort as defined by mRS 0-2 at 90 days * Mortality at 30 and 90 days * Intracranial hemorrhage with neurological deterioration (NIHSS worsening \>4) within 24 hours of randomization * Procedure related serious adverse events (SAE's) * Arterial revascularization measured by TICI 2b or 3 following device use
NCT01007448
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase IV study to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of 2 initial dose levels of bexarotene capsules in participants with refractory CTCL.
NCT00528983
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a tablet form of azacitidine that taken by mouth is safe. This Phase I study will also look at different doses and different treatment schedules in order to better understand the effects (positive and negative) of oral azacitidine on the body and on the disease MDS, AML and CMML.
NCT00761722
The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of drug that gets into the bloodstream between different tablets taken by mouth and an injection under the skin.
NCT02906917
Trial comparing effect and safety of insulin degludec/insulin aspart vs. insulin glargine plus insulin aspart in subjects with type 2 diabetes treated with basal insulin with or without oral antidiabetic treatment in need of treatment intensification.
NCT02584855
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of ixekizumab compared to placebo in participants with active psoriatic arthritis.
NCT02611752
Multi-site, randomized, double-blind, repeat-dose Phase 2 study to evaluate the degree and duration of action of multiple doses of CAM2038 in blocking the effects of hydromorphone in patients with moderate or severe opioid use disorder.
NCT02426918
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 different doses of intravenous and oral Debio 1450 compared with intravenous vancomycin and oral linezolid in the treatment of patients with staphylococcal ABSSSI.
NCT00325897
The purpose of this study is to determine if long-term administration of a macrolide antibiotic will reduce worsening of symptoms among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

NCT01545947
The main purpose of this first study combining an investigational dual mTOR inhibitor, CC-223, with other agents (erlotinib or the investigational agent, oral azacitidine) is to establish a maximum tolerated dose level for each combination in order to evaluate their effects in future clinical trials for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01163071
The purpose of this study is to determine the MTD and/or RP2D of ABI-011 when administered by IV on Day 1, Day 8 and Day 15 with one week of rest for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies and lymphomas.
NCT01133132
This study will develop and test the benefits of a new ICCS (Interactive Cancer Communication System), a mobile Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (Survivorship CHESS) in colon cancer survivors. Survivorship CHESS will provide information, tools, and a support system based on our previous work with FRESH START and CHESS, two highly successful interventions that have promoted lifestyle change among cancer patients and survivors. Survivorship CHESS will be designed to help subjects develop 1) competence in information gathering, decision-making, and behaviors they are trying to change, 2) social support systems to help deal with the cancer experience, and 3) autonomy that comes with regaining a sense of control over their lives; this in turn, will help them adopt or maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors and improve their quality of life.
