NCT00000854
The purpose of this study is to see if giving nandrolone decanoate (a hormonal drug) will cause weight gain in HIV-positive women who have HIV-associated weight loss (wasting). Wasting has become an AIDS-defining condition. In the past, most studies that examined wasting treatments were limited to men. However, it appears that wasting in HIV-positive men is linked to levels of testosterone (a hormone which affects men's bodies more than women's). This study has been designed for women only, in order to best treat wasting in HIV-positive women.
NCT00865969
The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of belinostat in participants with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), who failed at least one prior systemic therapy.
NCT00900562
This study is a phase II clinical and pharmacokinetic trial of PM00104 (Zalypsis®) in patients with advanced and/or metastatic endometrial or cervical cancer previously treated with one line of systemic chemotherapy to evaluate the antitumor activity and to determine the safety profile, the pharmacokinetic profile and the pharmacogenomic profile.
NCT00000752
To evaluate the additional effectiveness of an anti-inflammatory nasal spray ( beclomethasone dipropionate ) and a broad spectrum antibiotic ( cefuroxime axetil ) over decongestant ( Deconsal II ) alone, when these agents are given individually or in combination for the prevention of recurrent paranasal sinus infection in patients with HIV infection. To compare the clinical utility of paranasal sinus radiographs with computed tomograms (CTs) in the evaluation and management of HIV-infected patients with recurrent paranasal sinus infection. To determine relevant prognostic factors and the microbiologic etiology of maxillary sinusitis in this patient population. Sinusitis is common among HIV-infected patients and is likely to be recurrent or refractory to traditional therapy, particularly in patients with advanced immunosuppression. An intervention aimed at prevention of recurrent sinus disease in HIV-infected patients appears to be warranted.
NCT00000815
To compare measles seroconversion rates (development of antibodies) at 13 months of age in HIV-infected and uninfected children on one of two immunization schedules: attenuated measles/mumps/rubella virus (M-M-R II) vaccine at 12 months versus attenuated measles vaccine (Attenuvax) at 6 months plus M-M-R II vaccine at 12 months. Recommendations for the age at vaccination should balance the need to minimize the risk of morbidity and mortality with the benefit of achieving the highest seroconversion rates. Immunizing a more intact immune system at an earlier stage of HIV infection may in turn achieve better and long-lasting measles protection. This study will help define a more effective measles vaccine regimen for children diagnosed with HIV infection and will provide greater insight into the functional status of the HIV-infected children's humoral immune system.
NCT04718636
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of CC-99677 coadministration on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of an oral contraceptive (OC).
NCT03485053
The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IOP Injection (MPB-1514) for the treatment of iron-deficient anemia (IDA).
NCT02273726
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of roxadustat compared with active control (epoetin alfa) for the maintenance treatment of anemia in participants with ESRD on dialysis.
NCT00000833
To compare the safety, toxicity, and tolerance of two doses of ribavirin in combination with didanosine (ddI) to HIV-infected children. To determine the toxicity of ddI/ribavirin and compare it to the expected toxicity of ddI monotherapy. To determine the effect of concurrent ribavirin on the pharmacokinetics of ddI. To determine a dosage of ribavirin that would be suitable for a Phase II/III evaluation of ddI/ribavirin. Ribavirin, a broad spectrum antiviral agent, may enhance the antiretroviral activity of didanosine ( ddI ) without a concomitant increase in toxicity. Ribavirin alters the intracellular metabolism of ddI, enhancing the antiretroviral activity of the active form of ddI.
NCT03797521
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability and activity of SXC-2023 when dosed for 6 weeks versus placebo in adult patients with moderate to severe Trichotillomania.
NCT00000954
To determine the toxicity and response to treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy using doxorubicin (Adriamycin), bleomycin, and vincristine (DBV) for advanced AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma in combination with either didanosine (ddI) or zalcitabine (dideoxycytidine; ddC). AIDS patients with extensive Kaposi's sarcoma require treatment with effective cytotoxic agents to reduce the tumor burden, and they also require treatment with other possibly effective antiretroviral agents such as ddI or ddC to ameliorate (delay) the development of opportunistic infections.
NCT00000877
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of giving indinavir and rifabutin at the same time (simultaneously) vs 4 hours apart (staggered) to HIV-positive and HIV-negative adults. It is important to determine which medications for HIV-associated diseases, such as Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease, can be given safely and effectively with anti-HIV drugs. Indinavir and rifabutin have been given simultaneously in the past with good results. This study seeks to examine if staggering the doses will make the 2 drugs more effective. HIV-negative volunteers are used in this study to examine the effect of rifabutin on indinavir and the effect of staggered rifabutin doses. The effect of rifabutin on the drug activity of indinavir is evaluated in HIV-positive patients.
NCT00000807
To assess the toxicity, tumor response rate, and effect on quality of life of daily low-dose etoposide administered for 7 consecutive days every other week in patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma that has relapsed or progressed after systemic chemotherapy. Etoposide may be at least as, or even more, effective and less myelotoxic when given in low doses over prolonged periods of time.
NCT00000864
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerance, and metabolism of single-dose and multiple-dose abacavir (ABC) in HIV-exposed infants receiving standard postnatal treatment with zidovudine (ZDV). This study also evaluates the correct dosages of ABC to be used in future studies. Early aggressive therapy may be the best chance to slow disease progression in infants who may have been infected with HIV by their mothers. Early HIV suppression may significantly reduce viral levels and allow for restoration of the immune system, providing improved control over HIV infection. Therefore, it is important that the safety and tolerance of ABC in combination with ZDV be examined as potential early therapy in newborn and young infants.
NCT02436759
This is a Phase 3 study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RVL-1201 Ophthalmic Solution in the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis (ptosis) and to assess the safety and comfort of RVL-1201 Ophthalmic Solution for an extended dosing period of 6 weeks.
NCT03671434
This work aims to evaluate an approach for improving federal legislators' use of evidence-known as the Research-to-Policy Collaboration (RPC) - which seeks to address known barriers to policymakers' use of research, including a lack of personal contact between researchers and policymakers and limited relevance of research translation efforts to current policy priorities. The RPC involves structured processes for identifying policymakers' priorities, building researchers' capacity for nonpartisan responses to current policy priorities, and facilitating ongoing and productive researcher-policymaker interactions. This implementation of the RPC will focus on child and family policies relevant to child maltreatment. This study assesses both processes for collaboration and policymakers' use of research within a randomized controlled trial (RCT) employing a mixed methods approach-including quantitative and qualitative evaluation of impact. The proposed project will be guided by three overarching questions: 1. How does the RPC impact researchers and legislative staff? 2. How does the RPC impact legislative activity? 3. How might perceptions and experiences of collaboration through the RPC relate to different forms of evidence use among researchers and policymakers? The RPC's effectiveness will be tested through experimental design (randomization) using qualitative and quantitative assessments of researcher-policymaker interactions and impact. This includes surveying congressional staff and researchers, reviewing records of policymaker's public statements and introduced legislation, and conducting qualitative interviews around researchers' and legislative staffs' experiences with researcher-policymaker collaboration prior to and during the RPC.
NCT00000777
To evaluate the safety of gp160 vaccine (VaxSyn) in HIV-1 infected pregnant women with CD4 counts \>= 400 cells/mm3. To evaluate the immunogenicity of this vaccine in pregnant women and the passive acquisition of vaccine-specific antibody in their infants. Evidence suggests that an advanced stage of disease with high plasma viremia is associated with increased transmission of HIV-1 to the fetus. Slowing the progression of disease, reducing the titer of virus in plasma, and increasing the titer of epitope-specific antibody are potentially attainable goals through active immunization of the mother during pregnancy.
NCT03897257
The study is being done to determine and compare the safety and effectiveness of an investigational combination therapy (low and high concentrations) versus mono-therapy (low and high concentrations) or mono-therapy (fixed concentration) in subjects with moccasin type tinea pedis.
NCT00000773
To determine the safety, tolerance, and pharmacokinetics of a new improved microparticulate suspension formulation of atovaquone administered at one of two dose levels (per 09/30/94 amendment, a third dose level was added) daily for 12 days in HIV-infected and perinatally exposed (per 8/9/95 amendment) infants and children who are at risk of developing Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). Atovaquone has shown prophylactic potential in adults in the treatment of PCP but is poorly absorbed in tablet form. To improve the bioavailability of atovaquone, a new formulation has been prepared as a microparticulate suspension. Since studies in adults have demonstrated substantial safety of this drug, evaluation in children is being pursued.
NCT00000942
The purpose of this study is to see if giving the anti-HIV drug nevirapine (NVP) to HIV-positive pregnant women and their babies can help reduce the chance that a mother will give HIV to her baby during delivery. Previous studies suggest that NVP is a promising medication for blocking HIV transmission from HIV-positive mothers to their babies.
