NCT00019422
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Lobradimil may increase the effectiveness of a chemotherapy drug by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboplatin and lobradimil in treating children with brain tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.
NCT01077960
In Serono Study 24380, the antecedent protocol to Study 25373, patients were randomly assigned in a 3.0-to-1.0 ratio to Groups A and B. All patients in Group A received recombinant human growth hormone (Serostim®) 4 mg daily (the "induction" phase) for the first 12 weeks, and then were re-randomized to receive either placebo or Serostim 2 mg on alternate days (roughly equivalent to 1 mg daily) during Weeks 12-36 (the "maintenance" phase). All patients in Group B initially received placebo from baseline to Week 24, and then received Serostim® 4 mg daily from Weeks 24 to 36 (Grunfeld, 2007). In the follow-up Study 25373, any subject who was enrolled in Serono Study 24380 and was assigned to Group A, who fully completed all study visits without a major protocol violation, was eligible to enroll to receive re-treatment with Serostim at a dose of 4 mg daily for 12 weeks. During study 25373, safety was monitored by recording of adverse events and measurement of urinalysis and laboratory blood tests to assess fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and routine biochemistry and hematology parameters. At Week 12 or at the time of study termination, subjects underwent re-assessment of body composition via anthropometry measurements and dual photon absorptiometry (DXA) scanning. In addition, at study termination, measurements of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), insulin-like growth binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3), fasting lipid profile, and oral glucose tolerance testing were obtained.
NCT00064051
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. 3-AP may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth and may help gemcitabine kill more cancer cells by making them more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with 3-AP works in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
NCT01705132
The purpose of the study is to determine if there are certain laboratory tests that can be performed to detect substances or features in a child's urine that can be used to measure the progress of Alport kidney disease and the effects of treatment. These tests and their results could be of use to measure responses to new treatments in future clinical trials.
NCT00206856
To determine the clinical utility of using the Triage® BNP Test to guide therapy in outpatients with heart failure
NCT00411385
This is a phase 3, randomized, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of albumin interferon alfa-2b (alb-IFN)in combination with ribavirin compared with peginterferon alfa-2a (PEGASYS or PEG-IFNa2a) in combination with ribavirin in subjects with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 2/3 who are IFNa treatment naive.
NCT00645762
This study is designed to evaluate safety and effectiveness of a less invasive procedure to treat maxillary only, or maxillary and anterior ethmoid, chronic sinusitis. Additionally, this study will assess the feasibility of performing the procedure under local anesthesia.
NCT00336492
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of infliximab (Remicade) in children with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
NCT01699737
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of JTT-851 on diabetes as well as to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of JTT-851 in type 2 diabetic patients either treated with metformin or treatment-naïve.
NCT00594425
This multicenter study will be divided into 2 phases. The first phase will be an open label, dose-escalation phase, while the second will be a blinded, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group, dose-response phase. The second phase will only start if the first phase succeeds in establishing well tolerated dose(s). Patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris in the face will be included.The results from part 2 has been presented in the result section.
NCT00583830
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (disease response) and safety of mapatumumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel as first line therapy in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NCT00823368
The subjects that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and consent to participate in protocol 22001 will be offered participation in 22001A which will evaluate secreted protein before and after treatment with STX209 and placebo to determine if they correlate with effectiveness of treatment or susceptibility to treatment with STX209. These same subjects will also be asked to contribute a blood sample for DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) collection. The investigators will study the DNA to determine if STX209 works better in people with specific gene variations, or to find new gene variations that predict how well STX209 works.
NCT01555333
This study will enroll subjects who have completed Protocols 209FX301, 209FX302, or are currently participating in Protocol 2202 into a long-term study in which all subjects will receive active drug (arbaclofen).
NCT01706523
This is an open-label extension protocol that will provide necessary data on the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of STX209 among subjects with ASD.
NCT00394771
This is a 4-arm study to evaluate and compare bleeding patterns between three different doses of DR-1031 oral contraceptive with Seasonale oral contraceptive. Study participants will receive physical and gynecological exams, including Pap smear. During the study, all participants will be required to complete a diary
NCT00992719
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine in pregnant women and to determine how their body reacts to different strengths of the vaccine. Two strengths of the H1N1 influenza vaccine will be tested. Since it is not known if the response to the vaccine in pregnant women is the same or different than in non-pregnant women, the study also includes a group of women who are not pregnant for comparison. Participants include 200 pregnant women and 100 non-pregnant women ages 18-39. Study procedures include physical exams, several blood samples and maintaining a memory aid to document daily temperature and side effects for 8 days following vaccination. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 6 months.
NCT00310843
Attempt to identify genetic polymorphisms in interrogated pathways which may be associated with symptomatic hepatotoxicity or severe cutaneous toxicity observed in case patients within the first 8 weeks of nevirapine therapy.
NCT00000925
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a high-quality protein food supplement will help HIV-positive patients maintain, and possibly gain, muscle mass. Many HIV-positive patients lose weight that they are then unable to regain. This may be because patients are not eating enough protein or are not eating the right kinds of protein. The protein eaten in foods (such as meat, eggs, or beans) may not be able to make up for the amount of protein lost due to HIV infection. This study gives patients high-quality protein food supplements to help them maintain and/or gain weight.
NCT00208494
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of artificial hips with metal heads and metal sockets to artificial hips with ceramic heads articulating with metal socket components. The success of the total hip arthroplasty (THA) will be based upon all of the following clinical and radiographic criteria being met at the two-year evaluation: (1) the patient's clinical results as measured using modified Harris Hip evaluation rating system, and the absence of a complication that requires the surgical removal or replacement of a component; and (2) radiographic findings at study endpoint (i.e., two years follow-up). Clinical and radiographic success at two (2) years postoperative is required for the study hip to be deemed successful.
NCT01907282
Preventing psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and associated functional disability could relieve an enormous burden of personal and family suffering and economic losses to society. This project aims to conduct a pilot randomized trial to determine the efficacy of a family-focused treatment in comparison with treatment-as-usual in enhancing functional outcomes, stabilizing symptoms, and preventing or delaying the onset of full psychosis in transitional age youth with prodromal symptoms. The results of this study will be crucial for the development of cost-effective, evidence-based psychosocial approaches to psychosis prevention and thus will have major implications for public health.
