NCT00002791
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining radiation therapy with more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy followed by surgery in treating patients who have soft tissue sarcoma.
NCT00162227
This study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of an oral liquid solution of Sustiva for antiretroviral therapy-naive or therapy-experienced HIV-1 infected children between the ages 3-16 who are failing or intolerant of current antiretroviral regimen and who are unable to swallow Sustiva capsules.
NCT00003917
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if topotecan is more effective given by infusion or by mouth. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of topotecan given by infusion with that of topotecan given by mouth in treating patients who have small cell lung cancer that has relapsed following previous therapy.
NCT00006864
RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill kidney cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase IV trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating patients who have metastatic kidney cancer.
NCT01048255
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of VX-765 in subjects with Treatment-resistant Partial Epilepsy
NCT00002670
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy plus cisplatin is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy plus cisplatin with radiation therapy alone in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has been removed during surgery.
NCT00035555
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Belatacept (BMS-224818) is as efficacious as treatment with cyclosporine at preventing acute rejection and with a superior safety/tolerability profile (better kidney function and blood pressure, fewer lipid problems, less diabetes mellitus).
NCT00301990
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Interleukin-2 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Giving bevacizumab together with interleukin-2 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with interleukin-2 works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
NCT00074386
With improved anti-HIV drug therapy, HIV infected patients are now living longer. These patients are at risk for liver and kidney failure and may need organ transplants. However, little is know about the safety and effectiveness of organ transplants in patients with HIV. This study will evaluate organ transplantation in HIV infected patients undergoing liver and kidney transplants.
NCT00862459
The purpose of this study is to look at the safety (what are the side effects) and efficacy (how well does it work) of Gadavist when used for taking images of the brain and spine. The results of the MRI with Gadavist Injection will be compared to the results of MR images taken without contrast and with the results of the MR images taken with OptiMARK.
NCT01586533
This double-blind, randomized, comparator-controlled Phase II study is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of Zoenasa Rectal Gel compared to mesalamine enema in subjects with left-sided ulcerative colitis, as measured by the modified ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UCDAI), over 6 weeks of treatment. In this study, two cohorts of subjects will receive either Zoenasa-1:4 (1.0g NAC; 4.0g 5-ASA) investigational drug enema therapy or comparator mesalamine enema (4.0g 5-ASA). The study will enroll subjects randomized equally into the 2 cohorts. Each cohort will enroll approximately 60 subjects. The two arms of the trial will be enrolled concurrently in a randomized fashion.
NCT01555060
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of daily iron supplements after blood donation on time to recovery of hemoglobin and iron stores. The study will also determine whether the effect of iron supplements on time to recovery is different in men and women, in older vs. younger donors (\<60 years old vs. at least 60 years old) and in donors with replete vs. diminished pre-donation iron stores.
NCT00997178
The primary aim of the study is to determine if non-surgical periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing and supportive periodontal therapy) is efficacious compared to delayed therapy in reducing elevated glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at 6 months post-randomization in subjects with type 2 diabetes and untreated, moderate to advanced chronic periodontitis. The secondary aims of the study are to: 1. evaluate whether 6 month (or shorter-term (3 month)) changes in clinical measures of chronic periodontitis (gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, clinical attachment level) are related to changes in HbA1c and fasting glucose or insulin resistance as measured by the Homeostasis Model Assessment 2 (HOMA2). 2. assess the 3 month and 6 month efficacy of periodontal therapy on all of the above study outcomes. If a treatment response is observed for any of the study outcomes at 3 months, then the trial can evaluate whether this response is sustained at 6 months.
NCT00667446
The purpose of this extension study is to determine if leuprolide acetate (11.25 mg and 30 mg) is safe in treating children with Central Precocious Puberty over a longer period of time (36 months).
NCT02045043
Arrhythmias remain a major health problem, causing at least 250,000 deaths annually in the United States. Pharmacological treatments often do more harm than good, and device therapies are limited by high cost and effects on quality of life. Ion channel mutations cause rare inherited arrhythmopathies, but account for only a small fraction of patients with life- threatening arrhythmias and sudden death. Most arrhythmias occur during myocardial ischemia, following myocardial infarction, and in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function of any etiology. Aside from ejection fraction (EF), few clinically useful indicators to stratify the risk of sudden death have been identified. The role of subtle difference in ion channel expression and/or structure in predisposing patients to arrhythmias and modulating the risk of sudden death is unknown. In this study, we are prospectively testing whether polymorphisms in ion channels and ion channel modifying genes are associated with arrhythmias in a population with internal cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and poor LV function. We will test the hypothesis that functional polymorphisms in the coding sequences and promoter regions of cardiac genes (e.g. ion channels, beta-adrenergic receptors) predispose individuals to arrhythmias and /or heart failure progression. We hope to identify genetic predictors for the common forms of sudden cardiac death. This would allow the identification of a subpopulation of heart failure patients that would benefit most from ICD placement.
NCT00827177
This is an open-label, dose-escalation study of ARQ 197 administered orally in combination with sorafenib.
NCT00310219
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) scan and CT scan, may help doctors plan radiation therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well a combined PET scan and CT scan works compared to a CT scan alone in planning radiation therapy for patients with stage II or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01570686
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of food on aliskiren's efficacy, pharmacokinetics and safety following an oral dose of 300 mg, given once daily under light meal versus fasted conditions.
NCT01538407
This is a longitudinal, randomized, controlled interventional multi centric study on the effects of lower leg strengthening exercise on quadriceps force during walking in people with knee osteoarthritis. At each study centre twenty subjects will be included, for a total of 40 participants. Subjects will be randomized equally (1:1) into 1 active arm and 1 control arm. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of twelve weeks of quadriceps strengthening on the mechanical output of the quadriceps during locomotion. A secondary purpose is to explore the relationship between quadriceps strengthening and compressive knee loadings. The hypothesis is that quadriceps strength training will not change quadriceps force, power, and work in locomotion in people with knee osteoarthritis. Primary outcome is quadriceps force during walking, secondary outputs are quadriceps power and work and knee compressive loads during walking. Explorative measures are isometric and concentric isokinetic leg muscle strength, radiographic score of the knee (Kellgren and Lawrence), a one-leg rise from chair test (maximum number of reps) and a lateral step-up test (maximum number of reps).
NCT01134393
The general aim of this trial to determine the efficacy as measured by the percentage of patients reaching blood pressure goal at the end of the treatment period at 12 weeks. In-clinic blood pressures, home blood pressures and safety will be carefully monitored.
