NCT01254214
The purpose of this study is to determine whether telephone-adapted Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (tMBSR) - a program of mindfulness meditation and gentle Hatha yoga delivered mostly by phone, is an effective program to reduce symptoms (anxiety, depression, sleep) and improve quality of life for people waiting for a kidney transplant. Participants will be randomly assigned to tMBSR or to a support group emphasizing communication skills and selecting resources. Both 8-week programs include an initial in-person meeting, 6 weekly teleconference calls, and conclude with an in-person meeting. Participants will complete questionnaires at 3 timepoints over 6 months, and if they receive a transplant, will complete additional questionnaires. Participants will complete sleep diaries and wear Actiwatches (similar to a wristwatch) for one week before programs start, and when programs end, to measure sleep. Participants will provide saliva samples, over 3 days before programs start, and again when programs end, to measure salivary cortisol, an indicator of stress. tMBSR participants will record daily home meditation practice.

NCT00850655
This is a study of the genetics of malaria transmission by the mosquito vector in Africa, Anopheles gambiae. The study focuses on the mosquito vector, not the human subjects infected with malaria. DNA extracted from infected mosquitoes will be analyzed genetically by microsatellite and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify mosquito genes that control mosquito resistance to malaria parasites.
NCT02109822
The goal of this research study is to better understand current treatment practices for pulmonary exacerbations (lung infections) and whether the Cystic Fibrosis National Patient Registry (CFFNPR)can be used for this type of study.
NCT00296530
This study will last up to 6 weeks. Subjects will visit the clinic up to 5 times. Certain clinic visits will include a physical examination, medical history review, and lung function tests. All study related medications and medical examinations will be provided at no cost to the subject. The drugs used in this study are approved for the age group under study.
NCT00373542
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ropinirole CR-RLS in the treatment of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome and associated sleep disturbance and period limb movements during sleep.
NCT00001115
Part A: To evaluate the impact of HSV suppression with acyclovir ( ACV ) on HIV burden in patients with asymptomatic HSV infection and at high risk for HSV reactivation. Part B: To characterize the change in plasma HIV RNA levels and other measures of HIV burden during and after a 10 day course of ACV treatment for acute HSV infection. Approximately 70% of patients infected with HIV are concurrently infected with HSV. There is new evidence to suggest that HSV may act as a co-factor in HIV disease progression. This study will attempt to determine if the upregulation of HIV RNA that occurs during symptomatic HSV reactivation also occurs during asymptomatic HSV reactivation and if suppression of HSV will result in decreased levels of HIV RNA. There is a need to determine the patterns of association between HSV and HIV.
NCT00979654
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of sifalimumab in adult participants with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or active dermatomyositis (DM) or polymyositis (PM) who participated in the following clinical studies: MI-CP151, MI-CP152, or MI-CP179.
NCT01328951
This double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the benefit of first-line maintenance erlotinib (Tarceva) versus erlotinib at the time of disease progression in participants with advanced NSCLC who have not progressed following 4 cycles of platinum based-chemotherapy and whose tumor does not harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation. Participants will be randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 milligrams (mg) orally (PO) once daily or placebo. Participants who progress on placebo will receive erlotinib 150 mg PO once daily as second-line therapy, and those who progress on erlotinib may switch to a non-investigational, second-line chemotherapy. Treatments will continue until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. Participants may also be entered into a final Survival Follow-Up (SFU) period upon treatment discontinuation.
NCT02025907
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) compared to placebo in the treatment of participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), who have inadequate glycemic control on maximally or near-maximally effective doses of metformin and sitagliptin.

NCT02353182
Animal studies suggest general anaesthetics harm the developing brain. It is unclear if these findings are relevant to humans but the issue has become a major concern. Recent data have found that monkeys exposed to anaesthesia as infants grow up to have slower learning than those not exposed. The aim of the TREX pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an alternative anaesthetic regimen for lower abdominal/lower extremity surgery in infants 1-12 months of age.
NCT00559533
