NCT01267240
This partially randomized phase II trial studies giving capecitabine and vorinostat in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has come back after previous treatment or that has spread to other areas in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving capecitabine together with vorinostat is more effective than capecitabine alone in treating patients with cancer of the head and neck cancer.
NCT01951690
This is a Phase II, open-label, multicenter, multi cohort, study of VS-6063 (defactinib), a focal adhesion kinase inhibitor, in patients with KRAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC with a KRAS mutation is required for study entry and subjects will be enrolled into 1 of 4 cohorts based on the status of their INK4a/Arf and p53 mutations. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate if VS-6063 (defactinib) improves PFS within each cohort. The safety and tolerability of VS-6063, tumor response rate, progression free survival and overall survival will also be assessed. The pharmacodynamic effects of VS-6063 (defactinib) will be examined in a tumor biopsy and a blood sample.
NCT00652028
The objective of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of dexmedetomidine administered as an intravenous loading dose followed by a continuous intravenous infusion in pediatric subjects ages ≥2 through \<17 years old.
NCT00025259
This randomized phase III trial is studying different chemotherapy regimens given with or without radiation therapy to compare how well they work in treating children with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's disease. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. It is not yet known if chemotherapy is more effective with or without additional chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy in treating Hodgkin's disease.
NCT00573443
Objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two different doses of AVP-923 (capsules containing either 30 mg of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and 10 mg of quinidine sulfate \[AVP-923-30\] or 20 mg of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and 10 mg of quinidine sulfate \[AVP-923-20\]) when compared to placebo, for the treatment of PBA in a population of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis (MS) over a 12-week period. An additional objective is to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of the two different doses of AVP-923 in a subset of the study population. Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) is a condition characterized by involuntary, sudden and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying out of proportion or incongruous to the underlying emotion of happiness or sadness Other terms used to describe this condition include emotional lability, emotionalism, emotional incontinence, emotional discontrol, excessive emotionalism, and pathological laughing and crying. The outbursts can occur spontaneously or in response to provocative stimuli such as questions or events. A body of evidence suggests that PBA can be modulated through pharmacologic intervention. Dextromethorphan (DM) is a low-affinity uncompetitive antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, reducing the level of excitatory activity. DM also acts at the phencyclidine-binding site, which is part of the NMDA receptor complex. DM is a sigma receptor agonist, suppressing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. Quinidine (Q) is a known potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), that decreases the metabolism of dextromethorphan and helps to achieve sustained and therapeutic levels of this drug.
NCT01363297
The Phase 1 portion of this study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy at increasing dose levels of inotuzumab ozogamicin in subjects with CD22-positive relapsed or refractory adult acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in order to select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule. The Phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate the efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin as measured by hematologic remission rate (CR + CRi) in patients in second or later salvage status.
NCT02040545
This study aims to determine the performance of a salivary hormone competitive immunoassay for monitoring patients during treatment for infertility.
NCT01058668
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of cariprazine monotherapy versus placebo for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
NCT01667679
This study is being conducted to determine if OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN delivered nasally (through the nose) using the OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN DEVICE can reduce the pain associated with migraine headaches in 30 minutes after use.
NCT02169362
The study will examine the safety of using a concentration of proteins from a patient's own blood, referred to as platelet rich plasma or (PRP) and applying it to a second degree burn wound.
NCT01520220
The purpose of this study is to determine a dose of LY2784544 that may be safely administered to participants with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
NCT00622193
The purpose of this study is to evaluate doses of anamorelin for safety and efficacy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01482221
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of AZD6765 in patients with major depressive disorder who exhibit inadequate response to antidepressants. AZD6765 is a channel blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) class of glutamate receptors.
NCT01359696
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase I, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of GDC-0425 administered with and without gemcitabine.
NCT01716377
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the potential efficacy of venlafaxine administration in reducing acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain in individuals presenting to the ED for evaluation after motor vehicle collision. Participants: Participants will consist of 60 patients between the ages of 18-50 who present to the ED within 12 hours post-motor vehicle collision. Patients who report a neck pain score \> 6 will be screened for further eligibility. Procedures (methods): Using a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind trial design, 60 high risk patients will be randomized to venlafaxine vs. placebo in the ED. The ability of venlafaxine to decrease acute and persistent musculoskeletal neck pain will be assessed during serial short-term telephone follow-ups as well as more in-depth follow-ups at 6 weeks, 4 months, and 6 months post-MVC.
NCT00874497

NCT01028508
This study will determine whether medications alone or medications and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) work best to prevent depressive relapse and to improve quality of life for older people with severe mood disorders.
NCT02662842
Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII) via insulin pump therapy has been shown to improve quality of life and glucose control in many patients with diabetes opting for this treatment modality. Despite significant innovation and advancement in pump technology, insulin infusion sets have been an area where innovation has been significantly lacking with no clinical studies performed prior to product launches. BD has developed a subcutaneous infusion set with FlowSmart™ Technology designed to address patient comfort, insulin delivery and flow interruptions. According to preliminary animal and clinical studies, this technology results in lower infusion pressure indicating more consistent insulin delivery. The FlowSmart infusion set has been previously tested in prototype form with healthy non-diabetic subjects with the sets inserted by nurses, and with CSII-using patients who self-inserted the FlowSmart infusion set in a clinical research setting. The purpose of this study is to determine if insulin pump users prefer using the BD FlowSmart infusion set compared to their current set with respect to insertion pain and wear comfort.
