NCT00002816
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating children who have relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
NCT00005609
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of rituximab in treating patients who have Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
NCT00019422
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Lobradimil may increase the effectiveness of a chemotherapy drug by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of carboplatin and lobradimil in treating children with brain tumors that have not responded to previous treatment.
NCT01308424
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new treatment is effective for the treatment of recurrent symptomatic oral herpes virus infections.
NCT00045916
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) administered with medication for the treatment of a major depressive episode (unipolar or bipolar) and will compare two types of ECT.
NCT01920139
The study was performed to determine if either ultrasound guided core biopsy or fine needle aspiration of an axillary lymph node has superior sensitivity in detecting metastatic carcinoma from the ipsilateral breast.
NCT00043927
This study will gather and compare data about the effectiveness and safety of two different treatments for extensive Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) in patients who have not received previous chemotherapy. One treatment will use an investigational drug in combination with an FDA approved chemotherapy. The other treatment will use a combination of two FDA approved chemotherapy drugs.
NCT00005977
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphocytic leukemia.
NCT00873158
The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments for adhesive capsulitis.
NCT00569582
Patients will receive Corlux (mifepristone) daily for up to 24 weeks. Assessments of the signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome will be obtained.
NCT01621399
The purpose of this study is to determine if product 55394 is safe and efficacious for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.
NCT00241826
The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (Gd-MRA) of the pulmonary arteries in combination with magnetic resonance venography (MRV) of the veins of the thighs in patients with clinically suspected acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
NCT00832000
Nondystrophic myotonias (NDM) are neuromuscular disorders caused by genetic abnormalities in certain muscle cell membrane proteins. The proteins affect muscle contraction. Individuals with NDM experience limited muscle relaxation, which then can cause pain, weakness, incoordination, and impaired physical activity and function. Because NDM is very rare, information on the best way to treat people with the disorders is lacking, and there are no FDA-approved therapies. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the medication mexiletine in treating people with NDM.
NCT00208494
The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of artificial hips with metal heads and metal sockets to artificial hips with ceramic heads articulating with metal socket components. The success of the total hip arthroplasty (THA) will be based upon all of the following clinical and radiographic criteria being met at the two-year evaluation: (1) the patient's clinical results as measured using modified Harris Hip evaluation rating system, and the absence of a complication that requires the surgical removal or replacement of a component; and (2) radiographic findings at study endpoint (i.e., two years follow-up). Clinical and radiographic success at two (2) years postoperative is required for the study hip to be deemed successful.
NCT00906490
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance and safety of the intravenous blood glucose (IVBG) System relative to point of care (POC) meter performance when each method is compared to the Yellow Springs Instrument (YSI) under various conditions in the operating room (OR), ICU and general ward (GW) in subjects undergoing elective or non-emergent surgery as well as subjects admitted to the medical/surgical ICU. POC meter systems are currently used in the hospital environment to measure blood glucose values. The YSI is an accepted reference standard for assessing POC meter accuracy. The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the IVBG System as compared with the YSI under various conditions in the operating room (OR), intensive care unit (ICU) and general ward (GW) in subjects undergoing elective or non-emergent surgery as well as subjects admitted to the medical/surgical ICU.
NCT00756977
This is a randomized, parallel, multi-center, single-blind study, comparing BLI850 to an FDA approved bowel preparation in adult subjects undergoing colonoscopy.
NCT00240968
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a third dose of vaccines containing A/Vietnam/1203/04 provides more immunity than two doses. Subjects who participate in this study will have participated in DMID protocol 04-063 involving the A/Vietnam/1203/04. In this study, each subject will be asked to receive a third dose of the H5 vaccine at the same level administered in protocol 04-063. Subjects will be asked to record oral temperature and any experienced side effects for 7 days following the vaccine. Study procedures will include up to 3 blood sample collections. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for up to 6 months.
NCT01591668
Dose cohorts may be dosed with one of up to 4 possible total weekly doses (0.3 mg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg). Dose escalation or repetition will be governed by pre-specified safety and activity rules. Subjects will be confined on either days 1-3 and/or days 8-10. Follow-up visits are also required periodically through day 43. Study procedures involve taking blood samples for pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, virologic, and safety assessments.
NCT01830322
This Phase II study is conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of CPI-613 in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The primary outcome measure is Overall Survival (OS). The secondary outcome measures are: changes in CA 19-9, Quality of Life (QOL), Progression-Free Survival (PFS), and safety.
NCT00227786
RATIONALE: Stop-smoking plans suggested by physicians may help patients quit smoking. Studying how physicians give stop-smoking treatment as family doctors may increase the chance of smokers receiving such treatment. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying physicians' practice patterns to see if regular feedback to the physician increases the chance of adult smokers receiving stop-smoking treatment.
