Bipolar study of tolerability, clinical response and patient satisfaction
NCT00367133
The study involves the enrollment of patients over 18 years of age with diabetic macular edema(DME). Patients with one study eye will be randomly assigned (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser) with equal probability to one of the three treatment groups: 1. Laser photocoagulation 2. 1mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection 3. 4mg intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection For patients with two study eyes (both eyes eligible at the time of randomization), the right eye (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser) will be randomly assigned with equal probabilities to one of the three treatment groups listed above. The left eye will be assigned to the alternative treatment (laser or triamcinolone). If the left eye is assigned to triamcinolone, then the dose (1mg or 4 mg) will be randomly assigned to the left eye with equal probability (stratified by visual acuity and prior laser). The study drug, triamcinolone acetonide, has been manufactured as a sterile intravitreal injectable by Allergan. Study eyes assigned to an intravitreal triamcinolone injection will receive a dose of either 1mg or 4mg. There is no indication of which treatment regimen will be better. Patients enrolled into the study will be followed for three years and will have study visits every 4 months after receiving their assigned study treatment. In addition, standard of care post-treatment visits will be performed at 4 weeks after each intravitreal injection.
NCT02636673
Retrospective multi-center comparative chart review of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic sigmoid resection for both benign and malignant disease
NCT01399684
This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to estimate the efficacy of MEGF0444A treatment to disease progression, combined with oxaliplatin + folinic acid + 5-Fluorouracil (mFOLFOX-6) + bevacizumab therapy in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).
NCT01672164
The main focus of this study is to develop blood and/or urine tests that will help to detect early signs of rejection in people who have had a liver transplant. Researchers will examine blood, urine, and tissue samples and try to identify markers for certain conditions such as rejection, response to therapy, and scarring of the liver. Additionally, researchers would like to identify biomarkers that can detect damage to the native kidneys before blood levels of creatinine rises. By studying gene expression, researchers hope to be able to diagnose these conditions earlier and improve liver survival.
NCT00450138
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of ZD6474 given in combination with radiation or in combination with chemotherapy and radiation in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

NCT01832493
The Sensor Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Response (SOCR) Study is a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized acute feasibility study that is being conducted to determine if subcutaneous heart sounds and/or intracardiac impedance can acutely identify the optimal atrioventricular (AV) pacing intervals and optimal left ventricular (LV) electrodes in patients indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy.
NCT00544817
The mechanism of action of sorafenib makes it an interesting drug to investigate in the treatment of patients with glioblastoma multiforme. Efficacy of agents with anti-angiogenic activity has already been demonstrated and the PDGF receptor target may also be pertinent in glioblastoma. The combination of temozolomide plus sorafenib has been investigated previously in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. The combination was generally well tolerated; in previously untreated patients, a standard dose of sorafenib (400mg PO bid) was administered with temozolomide 150mg/m2 PO daily for 5 days, repeated every 28 days (23). In this multicenter phase II study, patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma will receive standard treatment, including initial debulking surgical resection (if feasible) followed by high-dose radiation therapy with concurrent temozolomide. After completion of radiation therapy, patients will continue treatment with temozolomide (150mg/m2 days 1-5) and sorafenib (400mg PO bid daily), repeated at 28-day intervals for 6 cycles.
NCT01964235
This study is establish whether INC280 is safe and has beneficial effects in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma known to have dysregulation of c-MET pathway and whose disease progressed while on, or after, treatment with sorafenib or who are intolerant to sorafenib. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive INC280 at 600mg BID plus best supportive care (BSC) or placebo plus BSC, until disease progression or intolerable to study treatment. Patients treated with placebo plus BSC will have the opportunity to receive INC280 treatment upon documented further disease progression (RECIST 1.1) per investigator's discretion after unblinding. Patient will be stratified to geographical region (Asia vs Rest of World ) and tumor burden (present macroscopic vascular invasion and/or extra-hepatic spread vs not present).
NCT02078440
The objective of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailability, and the rate and extent of absorption of bromocriptine in male and female children and adolescent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients, aged 10 to less than 18, under fed conditions. It is undetermined if the pharmacokinetic profile of bromocriptine-QR in type 2 diabetes children aged 10- to less than 18 years differs appreciably from that in healthy adults. Bromocriptine is extensively metabolized by the liver (namely CYP3A4). Studies in children have demonstrated little difference in clearance among children over 10 years of age compared to adults (Blanco et al, 2000). However, differences in blood volumes or other factors may impart differences that could affect the pharmacokinetic properties of bromocriptine-QR. Therefore, this study will assess the pharmacokinetics in children aged 10-to less than 18 years who have type 2 diabetes. After describing the profile of bromocriptine-quick release in this patient population, a follow on study will be conducted to evaluate its safety and efficacy in treating children and adolescents who have type 2 diabetes. The pharmacokinetic profile of bromocriptine will be determined following the administration of a single, weight-adjusted dose of CYCLOSET (bromocriptine mesylate) tablets. The study will be a single period, bioavailability study in 30 patients. The study duration will be 3 days.
NCT01592214
This is a Phase I, multi-center, clinical study of XF-73 to evaluate the local (nasal) safety and tolerability of a modified, thinner lower viscosity formulation of intranasal XF-73 in healthy male and female subjects. In addition, the potential for systemic absorption of XF-73 in the modified, thinner lower viscosity and the previously investigated thicker, higher viscosity formulations and their decolonization efficacy in comparison to placebo will be evaluated. Both parts of the study will be double-blinded and Part 2 will also be placebo-controlled. Primary objective is to establish the safety and tolerability of two concentrations of a modified thinner, lower viscosity nasal formulation of XF-73 and to compare them to a previously investigated, thicker, higher viscosity formulation
NCT00967304
The main objective of this study is to verify whether a new clinical decision rule identifying patients diagnosed with unprovoked blood clots who have a low risk of recurrence can safely stop oral anticoagulant therapy after 5-7 months of treatment.
NCT01591681
The purpose of this study is to see whether low blood sugar at night can be reduced by using a system that turns off the insulin pump automatically. The study system includes a combination continuous glucose monitor (CGM)/ insulin pump made by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc and a regular laptop computer that runs a computer program that predicts low blood sugar. It works by (1) measuring the glucose levels under the skin with a continuous glucose monitor, (2) using a computer program on a laptop to predict what will happen to the glucose level over the next 35-55 minutes, and (3) turning off the insulin pump when the computer program predicts that low blood sugar will occur. This study has several phases and will take about 3 months for a patient to complete. Patients will use the Medtronic CGM with the Enlite sensor at home for 10-15 days to be sure that they are able and willing to use this system and to determine if they meet the investigators study criteria to proceed with the next phase of the study. Patients will be provided teaching on how to use CGM data in real time. If a patient is not using a Medtronic CGM already, the patient will first use one at home for 10-15 days to be sure that he/she is able and willing to use it. If a patient is already using a Medtronic CGM, then his/her most recent 10-15 days of data will be used to find out if he/she is eligible. Those who need to complete the CGM run-in phase will have an extra office visit for training. If eligible to continue in the study, patients will need to use the study system for 5 nights at home so that the investigators can make sure they are able to use it correctly. After that, patients will be asked to use the study system each night for an additional 6 to 8 weeks. If the system is active and predicts that a patient's blood sugar will become low, the insulin pump will shut off for up to 2 hours. The study will include about 45 individuals at 3 clinical centers in the United States and Canada.
NCT01823341
The purpose of this study is to see whether low blood sugar at night can be reduced by using a system that turns off the insulin pump automatically. The study system includes a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump. The CGM and pump work with a regular laptop computer. A The system works by (1) measuring the glucose levels under the skin with the CGM, (2) using a computer program on the laptop to predict whether a low blood sugar is likely to occur, and (3) turning off the insulin pump when the computer program predicts that a low blood sugar will occur. We have tested the system in the home environment in individuals with type 1 diabetes age 15 years and older. We have found an indication that the system can decrease the frequency of hypoglycemia. We have not had any serious cases of high blood sugars or other problems. We are now ready to further test the system in the home environment in a younger age group to learn more about its ability to reduce overnight low blood sugar risk. This study has several phases and will take about 3 months for a patient to complete. * First, the patient will use the CGM and pump at home for up to 15 days with the help of a parent/guardian. This is done to determine if the patient meets our study criteria to proceed with the next phase of the study. * If the patient is eligible to continue in the study, the patient will need to use the full study system for at least 5 nights at home with the help of a parent/guardian. This is done to make sure the patient and parent/guardian are able to use the system correctly. The patient may participate in starting and stopping the system at home, but the parent/guardian is responsible for making sure it is used as instructed. * After that, the patient will be asked to use the study system each night for an additional 6 to 8 weeks. The parent/guardian will remain responsible for making sure the system is used as instructed. The study will include about 90 individuals with type 1 diabetes at 3 clinical centers in the United States and Canada. First a study of children 8 to less than 15 years old will be done. Then, a study of children 3 to less than 8 years old will be conducted.
