Individuals with kidney failure receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) have high mortality rates, driven largely by cardiovascular causes. Volume-related factors are critical, modifiable contributors to cardiovascular complications. Reversing volume overload has been shown to improve blood pressure and cardiac remodeling. Use of loop diuretics may represent a pragmatic, low-cost, and low-burden strategy to improve outcomes in people receiving HD. Lack of data on optimal furosemide dosing, safety, and acceptability are barriers to expanded use. This study investigates whether oral furosemide is safe and effective at increasing urine volume in HD patients.
NCT00002874
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using bicalutamide may fight prostate cancer by reducing the production of androgens. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without bicalutamide for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without bicalutamide in treating patients who have stage II or stage III prostate cancer and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels following radical prostatectomy.
