NCT00087178
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer that has not spread to the lymph nodes.
NCT02302235
The goal of the present study is to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of 4:1 ketogenic diet administered adjunctively to standard radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy in patients with GBM in a prospective, randomized open label study.
NCT04879433
To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of cenobamate as adjunctive treatment of refractory focal epilepsy
NCT00323167
Mucociliary clearance, in which mucus secretions are cleared from the breathing airways, is the primary defense mechanism for the lungs. Inhaled particles, including microbes that can cause infections, are normally entrapped in mucus on the airway surfaces and then cleared out by the coordinated action of tiny hair-like structures called cilia. Individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia, variant cystic fibrosis, and pseudohypoaldosteronism have defective mucociliary clearance. The purpose of this study is to collect clinical and genetic information about these three airway diseases to improve current diagnostic procedures.
NCT00453531
This study will develop a model system that can be used to test medications for improving the ability of blood vessels to resist damage from diseases such as heart attack and stroke. The endothelium (inner layer of blood vessels) has built-in defense mechanisms to prevent blockage of blood flow, including the ability to stretch the vessel when it senses that blood flow is threatened. People with heart attack risk factors, such as high cholesterol, smoking and diabetes lose this ability. This study will develop a model that can measure the response to a lack of blood flow in the arm and be used to test new medicines to improve blood vessel health. Healthy males between 18 and 45 years of age who have no history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes and who have not smoked for at least 3 months before entering the study may be eligible to enroll. Participants lie in an adjustable reclining bed. Small catheters (tubes) are placed in the artery and vein of the forearm of the non-dominant arm at the inside of the elbow. Blood samples are collected from the tubes. Then, pressure cuffs are placed on both wrists and upper arms. A strain gauge (rubber band-type device) is placed around the forearms. The pressure cuffs are inflated and blood flows into the forearm, stretching the strain gauge at a rate proportional to the blood flow. Then, small doses of acetylcholine (a medicine that causes blood vessels to expand) are injected into the artery tube. After 20 minutes, blood flow to the non-dominant arm is blocked by inflating the pressure cuff. The subject squeezes a rubber ball about every 2 seconds for 90 seconds. The cuff is deflated after 15 minutes and blood samples are withdrawn from the tube in the vein. After 15 minutes, the procedure is repeated one more time.
NCT00118586
This study will look for abnormalities in a brain of persons affected with spasmodic dysphonia, a form of movement disorder that involves involuntary "spasms" of the muscles in the vocal folds causing breaks of speech and affecting voice quality. The causes of this disorder are not known. The study will compare results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in people with spasmodic dysphonia and in healthy volunteers. People with adductor or abductor spasmodic dysphonia and healthy volunteers may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, and a test called nasolaryngoscopy. For this test, the inside of the subject's nose is sprayed with a decongestant, and a small, flexible tube called a nasolaryngoscope is passed through the nose to the back of the throat to allow examination of the larynx (voice box). During this procedure, the subject is asked to perform tasks such as talking, singing, whistling, and saying prolonged vowels. The nasolaryngoscope is connected to a camera to record the movements of the vocal folds during these tasks. Eligible participants then undergo MRI of the brain. MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves instead of x-rays to obtain images of body organs and tissues. For this test, the subject lies on a table that slides into the MRI scanner, a narrow metal cylinder, wearing ear plugs to muffle loud knocking sound that occurs during the scan. During MRI anatomical images of the brain are obtained. Subject may be asked to participate in up to two scanning sessions. Each session takes about 1-1/2 hours. Participants may also be asked to volunteer for a brain donation program which is optional. Information gained from donated tissue may lead to better treatments and potential cures for spasmodic dysphonia.

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by duration of overall survival, of Nivolumab vs. Everolimus in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy
NCT03338998
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, subject and investigator-blinded study to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability of BAF312 in participants with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
NCT02487745
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and economic benefits of a Wage Supplement Model of arranging long-term exposure to employment-based abstinence reinforcement.
NCT02656017
This study will test to see if metformin is safe and if it is tolerated compared to placebo in adult Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) patients with beginning stages of chronic kidney disease. We will also measure its effect on progression of kidney disease as reflected in the kidney size and the kidney function, along with its effect on kidney pain and quality of life.
NCT03130959
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of nivolumab alone and in combination with ipilimumab in pediatric patients with high grade primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancies.
NCT03926169
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of risankizumab 180 mg and 360 mg versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in adult participants diagnosed for at least one year before the Baseline visit.
NCT04644809
This is a 3-part study. In Parts A and B, the main purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the study drug known as LY3561774 in participants with dyslipidemia (high blood fat levels). How the body processes the study drug and the effect of the study drug on blood fat levels will also be investigated. Part C will mainly evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3561774 as well as how the body processes the study drug in Japanese participants. The study may last up 52, 56 and 28 weeks for each participant in Parts A, B and C, respectively. There are up to 22, 26 and 16 visits in Parts A, B and C, respectively.
NCT00820846
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of and immune response to a two-vaccine regimen in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults who have never received an HIV preventive vaccine before.
NCT02852005
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the AIDSVAX B/E vaccine and the MVA/HIV62B vaccine in healthy, HIV-1-uninfected adults who previously received MVA/HIV62B in DNA/MVA or MVA/MVA vaccine regimens in the HVTN 205 study.
NCT05338762
The purpose of this study is to determine if the TekiTrust Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kit and TekiTrust Rapid Test can accurately determine the amount of antibodies to fight the COVID-19 virus in sampled blood compared to the standard Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT) test. When a person has COVID-19 they develop antibodies to the virus which are contained in their blood stream. After a certain period, the number of antibodies to fight (neutralize) the virus begin to decrease. One common way to measure the amount of antibodies in the blood is to use a test called the PRNT. The focus of this study is to compare the ability of the TekiTrust ELISA Kit and the TekiTrust Rapid Test with the PRNT to determine if these tests can measure the antibodies equally well.
NCT02389049
This study is designed to study DNA sequencings for mutations in a research genetic test panel of genes (which contains all 32 known and/or published genes associated with PCD). The study aims to show that about 70% of PCD patients have biallelic mutations in one of these genes. This project will enroll patients who have already had a clinical evaluation, and have clinical features consistent with PCD.
NCT04354428
This is a randomized trial for the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in high-risk adults not requiring hospital admission.The overarching goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of interventions on the incidence of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) progression among high-risk adult outpatients with SARS-CoV-2 infection to inform public health control strategies.
NCT03804879
Nidufexor addresses fibrosis, oxidative stress, inflammation and cell death, and therefore has the potential to improve the management of diabetic kidney disease when added to the standard of care (SoC) (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB)). This non-confirmatory Phase 2 study was designed to determine the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nidufexor in combination with ACEI or ARB at a dose level that is SoC as judged by the study doctor in patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy.
NCT01332968
This open-label, randomized study will assess the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in combination with chemotherapy compared to rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with chemotherapy followed by obinutuzumab or rituximab maintenance in participants with untreated advanced indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After the end of the induction period, participants achieving response (Complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) will undergo a maintenance period continuing on the randomized antibody treatment alone every 2 months until disease progression for a total of 2 years. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to approximately 2.5 years. After maintenance or observation, participants will be followed for 5 years until progression. After progression, participants will be followed for new anti-lymphoma therapy and overall survival until the end of the study.
