NCT00003825
RATIONALE: Pentosan polysulfate may be effective in treating side effects of radiation therapy to the abdomen or pelvis. It is not yet known whether pentosan polysulfate is more effective than no further therapy for treating gastrointestinal disturbance caused by previous radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of pentosan polysulfate in treating patients who have inflammation of the rectum, diarrhea, or blood in stools caused by previous radiation therapy to the abdomen and pelvis.
NCT03274635
The purpose of this study is to: (a) evaluate if a desk-based elliptical device can help employees to increase their daily physical activity without compromising work productivity; and (b) evaluate the effects of different types of incentives for pedaling the desk-based elliptical device on employees' pedaling quantity over a one-month intervention period. The study will involve placing a compact elliptical device (provided at no cost by the research team) under employees' desk at Penn State Hershey Medical Center/College of Medicine. Data evaluating the effects of the elliptical device on work productivity will be obtained from both employees and the employees' supervisors.
NCT02575417
This study will determine the feasibility of using an end-of-life conversation game (called "My Gift of Grace") as a community engagement activity series to help caregivers, patients with chronic illness, and/or their families perform advance care planning.
NCT02923921
To compare the efficacy of pegilodecakin in combination with FOLFOX versus FOLFOX alone in participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer as measured by overall survival.
NCT01389726
This study is a multi-site, four-year long clinical trial study in which several mental health interventions will be delivered to custodial grandmothers and then compared. The study will examine effects on the mental health of these grandmothers and the grandchildren they provide full-time care to in complete absence of the grandchild's birth parents. Grandparents from diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds will be recruited to test for cultural differences in response to these interventions. This study is important because there is growing evidence that custodial grandchildren are at-risk for psychological difficulties due to neglect and abuse by birth parents, challenges to parenting faced by custodial grandparents, and limited access to needed services. This study is funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research, a division of the National Institutes of Health, and it is anticipated that more than 500 custodial grandfamilies in four sites across the United States will partake.
NCT01806064
Phase 1b: To evaluate safety and tolerability and determine a recommended phase 2 dose for TRC105 when added to standard dose axitinib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. Phase 2: To estimate the PFS of patients with advanced or metastatic RCC by RECIST 1.1 criteria in patients treated with axitinib and TRC105 compared to those treated with axitinib alone, following failure of one prior VEGF TKI
NCT03742973
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of baricitinib in participants with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) who do not respond or are unable to take ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).
NCT02029950
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pomalidomide after combination chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cytarabine, daunorubicin hydrochloride, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Pomalidomide may kill cancer cells by stopping blood flow to the cancer and by stimulating white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and pomalidomide may kill more cancer cells.
NCT03552289
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Cook Advance® Enforcer™ 35 Focal-Force PTA Balloon Catheter (or Enforcer balloon) in treating narrowed blood vessels compared to treatment with a conventional angioplasty balloon.
NCT04106726
To evaluate the therapeutic equivalence and safety of ivermectin cream 1% (Zydus Worldwide DMCC) and Soolantra® (ivermectin) cream, 1% (Galderma Laboratories, L.P.) in the treatment of moderate to severe facial papulopustular rosacea. To demonstrate the superiority of the efficacy of the test and reference products over that of the placebo control in the treatment of moderate to severe facial rosacea.
NCT00744991
The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of enzastaurin in participants with Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) who failed prior therapies.
NCT00085787
This is a Phase 1 study during which patients with advanced solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-142886. This study has 2 parts. In the first part, patients will receive increasing doses of study drug in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Approximately 25 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of the study, patients will receive the best dose of study drug, determined from the first part of the study, and will be followed to see what side effects the study drug causes and what effectiveness the study drug has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 35 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Completed).
NCT00088452
The purpose of this study is to determine the best initial treatment for childhood absence epilepsy.
NCT04050618
To evaluate the comparative clinical performance of the fanfilcon A silicone hydrogel lens used in daily wear and to compare this with competitive hydrogel lens products.
NCT04229225
A study to assess safety, tolerability and clinical effects of single and repeat dose intra-articular administration of UBX0101 in patients with moderate to severe painful knee osteoarthritis (OA).
NCT02064959
This randomized, prospective trial will study the effect of very early cooling in patients undergoing surgical evacuation of acute subdural hematomas (35°C prior to opening the dura followed by maintenance at 33°C for a minimum of 48h). Intravascular cooling catheters (Thermogard XP Device, Zoll) will be utilized to induce hypothermia or to maintain normothermia. The primary objective is to determine if rapid induction of hypothermia prior to emergent craniotomy for traumatic subdural hematoma (SDH) will improve outcome as measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) at 6 months.
NCT01194960
Based on both pre-clinical and clinical data, it may be advantageous to administer a cancer vaccine before chemotherapy to enhance immune responses, thus leading to a more effective therapeutic approach for subjects with metastatic HRPC. This clinical study will evaluate the role of combination therapy of TroVax® plus Docetaxel vs. Docetaxel alone on the progression free survival (PFS) of subjects with HRPC.
NCT00811499
This is a Phase 2 study, involving a 12-week treatment period, designed to evaluate the effectiveness of investigational study drug ARRY-371797 (versus placebo) in treating ankylosing spondylitis, and to further evaluate the drug's safety. Approximately 130 patients from the US, Canada, Poland and Hungary will be enrolled in this study.
NCT03134794
The main objectives of this study are: i) To design an educational tool to train physicians in overcome cognitive factors associated with therapeutic inertia. ii) To determine the feasibility and efficacy of an educational tool to overcome therapeutic inertia among neurologists caring for MS patients iii) identify the best strategy to disseminate an educational program to train physicians taking into account regional and practice variations. iv) To explore whether multiple sclerosis (MS) patients' risk category influence the incidence of therapeutic inertia in neurologists that may require a segmentation strategy in medical education. v) To assess how participants handle uncertainty when making treatment decisions by measuring pupil variation from baseline (Canadian study). vi) To evaluate the effect of the TLS on TI by assessing differences pupil variability between the intervention and control groups (Canadian study). A multicenter, randomized, study including an educational intervention (applying the traffic light system) to overcome therapeutic inertia in MS care.
