NCT00881361
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying surgery to remove the sentinel lymph node and axillary lymph nodes after chemotherapy in treating women with stage II, stage IIIA, or stage IIIB breast cancer.
NCT01838174
We hypothesize that the novel melanocortin-mediated anti-inflammatory effects of ACTH will reduce axonal loss following ON by limiting inflammatory optic nerve injury. We will compare the effect of ACTH and intravenous methylprednisolone therapy on axonal injury following ON using OCT, a sensitive, reproducible and noninvasive tool to measure RNFL thickness. The primary outcome will be the average RNFL thickness at 6 months. Additional pre-specified statistical analyses will compare the difference in the mean RNFL thickness at 6 months in the affected eye between the IV methylprednisolone- and Acthar-treated groups, and the mean 6-month affected eye RNFL thicknesses adjusted for the baseline unaffected eye RNFL. The secondary outcome measure will examine the frequency of optic nerves with RNFL swelling between the IV methylprednisolone- and Acthar-treated groups at 1 and 3 months. A predefined exploratory outcome will compare the ganglion cell plus inner plexiform layer (GC+IPL) thickness at 6 months between treatment groups. Additional tertiary outcome will be the assessment of changes in fatigue, mood, visual function depression, and quality of life in patients with AON. Assessment will be completed by administration of the following questionnaires: Modified Fatigue Impact Scale, Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life 54 Instrument, 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire with 10-item supplement, Beck's Depression Inventory. These questionnaires have been validated for the MS (AON) population. Descriptive and correlative analysis will be done at each visit time point to assess for QOL for this study population.
NCT03191864
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an inflammatory disease of the esophagus, characterized by eosinophilic infiltration and gastrointestinal symptoms. Swallowed, topically acting corticosteroids, such as fluticasone, appear to be effective in resolving acute clinical and pathological features of EoE. APT-1011 is an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of fluticasone propionate. This study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of APT-1011 with placebo in adults with EoE for an initial 12-week treatment period, followed by an additional 40-week maintenance treatment phase. Histologic response, pharmacokinetics, and dysphagia will be assessed.
NCT02094716
To determine and compare the safety and efficacy of permethrin foam 4% and permethrin foam 5% with that of vehicle in subjects with scabies.
NCT02194829
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 when given together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride and how well they work in treating patients with previously untreated pancreatic cancer that has spread to another place in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine hydrochloride are more effective with or without WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 in treating patients with pancreatic cancer.

NCT04922593
This is a randomized, multiple-dose, open-label, parallel-group study. Subjects will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days prior to study drug administration. Approximately 280 eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into 1 of 2 treatment groups. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical facilities the day before dosing (Day 0), and will be randomized and receive the first dosing on Day 1. Subjects will stay at site till Day 2 after PK collection. All subjects will return to the clinical sites at designated study days for dosing, PK sample collections and assigned clinical activities. All subjects randomized to LY03010 treatment group will receive the first dose of 351 mg LY03010 by IM injection on Day 1 in the deltoid muscle, followed by five (5) monthly dosing of 156 mg LY03010 in the gluteal muscle with the last dose on Day 141. All subjects randomized to SUSTENNA treatment group will receive the first dose of 234 mg SUSTENNA by IM injection on Day 1 in the deltoid muscle, and a second IM dose of 156 mg SUSTENNA on Day 8 in the deltoid muscle, followed by five (5) monthly IM dosing of 156 mg of SUSTENNA in the gluteal muscle with the last dose on Day 148. End of Study (EOS) visit for LY03010 treatment group will be on Day 169, 28 days after last dosing day; End of Study for SUSTENNA treatment group will be on Day 176, 28 days after last dosing. At EOS visit, subjects will complete the study after a series of assigned clinical assessments. A 30-day follow up call will be conducted by the clinical research staff to ensure participant's well-being.
NCT04902950
The purpose of this study is to study the use of a drug, tranexamic acid (TXA) to decrease bleeding and fluid collections in patients undergoing excision of excess lower abdominal skin and soft tissue, otherwise known as a panniculectomy. The use of TXA in this study is experimental. TXA is a medication currently used in many surgical subspecialties to control bleeding. TXA is approved by the FDA as a medication taken by mouth for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding and as an injection in patients with hemophilia for short-term use (two to eight days) to reduce or prevent hemorrhage and reduce the need for replacement therapy during and following tooth extraction. The use of TXA in this study is experimental, which means it is not approved by the FDA for topical use in decreasing bleeding during and after surgery. The results of this study will help the researchers determine if TXA is effective in decreasing blood loss following surgery. If effective, researchers hope this will result in earlier removal of post-operative drains leading to faster return to work or social activities
NCT00272987
This study was originally designed as a Phase III randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study to assess the safety and tolerability, and efficacy of paclitaxel plus trastuzumab plus lapatinib compared with paclitaxel plus trastuzumab plus placebo in women with ErbB2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. The planned study was a two stage design with an initial open-label safety stage to be conducted in approximately 65 subjects followed by a randomized phase conducted in a further 700 subjects. The open-label part of the study sequentially enrolled three cohorts with patients receiving a different dose combination of paclitaxel, trastuzumab and lapatinib. Following poor recruitment rate in the open label stage, the randomized stage of the study was terminated, thus no subjects were enrolled into the randomization stage.
