This prospective study was designed to assess the outcomes (survival and failure patterns) of therapy for localized esophageal cancer with conventional dose radiation (RT; 50.4 Gy) with concurrent continuous infusion 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and weekly carboplatin/paclitaxel. Patients with less than complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) received dose escalation of radiation to 59.4 Gy with the same chemotherapy.
NCT00088192
To provide Pegaptanib sodium injection to patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to AMD, who are unable to participate in any of the Sponsor's other clinical studies with this drug for AMD, until such time as the patient's lesion is considered to have resolved or stabilized in the opinion of the treating ophthalmologist, or product becomes commercially available.
NCT00121329
Recent studies have investigated the use of local anesthetics (i.e. lidocaine, mepivacaine) to lessen the pain experienced with minor gynecologic procedures such as endometrial biopsy and office hysteroscopy. Local anesthetic injected into the uterine cavity has been demonstrated effective in some studies at decreasing patient pain associated with these intrauterine procedures at an anesthetic concentration of at least 2%. Based on this evidence, we hypothesized that an intrauterine lidocaine infusion may reduce patient pain during first trimester abortions.

Secondary Objectives: To compare the pharmacokinetics of nelfinavir given twice daily at 1250 mg bid with twice-weekly isoniazid and rifabutin to the pharmacokinetics of nelfinavir 1250 mg twice-daily in historical HIV-infected patients not receiving isoniazid and rifabutin. To evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetic parameters of rifabutin and 25-O-desacetyl rifabutin and the occurrence of toxicity attributed to rifabutin in patients with HIV-related tuberculosis. To define detailed pharmacokinetics of isoniazid given at 15mg/kg or 900 mg in patients with HIV-related tuberculosis. To attempt to derive optimal sampling times for nelfinavir and rifabutin pharmacokinetic studies.
NCT00048763
Juvenile primary Raynaud's (ray-knows) Phenomenon is a disorder of the blood vessels in the fingers and sometimes can affect the toes, nose, or ears. When children with primary Raynaud's Phenomenon are exposed to chilly or cold conditions from weather, cold temperatures, or even holding cold items from the refrigerator, their fingers may become cold, numb, hurt, and/or turn purple or white. Children with primary Raynaud's Phenomenon have no underlying systemic disease. The cause for their symptoms is unknown. The investigational drug, Pletal(cilostazol), which has been approved for other conditions, inhibits the ability of one type of blood cell, platelets, to form blood clots, and also widens narrowed blood vessels. It has been used in a variety of other conditions in which blood flow is decreased. This study will test the safety and effectiveness Pletal(cilostazol) to lessen the severity of the symptoms and decrease the number of primary Raynaud's episodes in juvenile patients.
NCT00048776
Juvenile secondary Raynaud's (ray-knows) Phenomenon is a disorder of the blood vessels in the fingers and sometimes can affect the toes, nose, or ears. Children with secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon have an underlying condition such as systemic lupus, scleroderma, or mixed connective tissue disease. When children with secondary Raynaud's are exposed to chilly or cold conditions from weather, cold temperatures, or even holding cold items from the refrigerator, their fingers may become cold, numb, hurt, and/or turn purple or white. The investigational drug, Pletal(cilostazol), which has been approved for other conditions, inhibits the ability of one type of blood cell, platelets, to form blood clots, and also widens narrowed blood vessels. It has been used in a variety of other conditions in which blood flow is decreased. This study will test the safety and effectiveness Pletal(cilostazol) to lessen the severity of the symptoms and decrease the number of secondary Raynaud's episodes in juvenile patients.
NCT00065962
Many drugs used to treat autism target specific symptoms, such as hyperactivity and aggressiveness. Few drugs target the core autistic symptoms of impaired social interaction and communication. This study will evaluate two forms of the drug secretin for the treatment of core autistic symptoms.
NCT00002156

NCT00188838
To examine the impact of cognitive-behavioural therapy on both the episodic and functional outcome of bipolar disorder, in combination with pharmacotherapy. Primary Hypothesis is twofold: 1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy will reduce the total symptom burden, as measured both by percentage of time spent ill (both syndromic and subsyndromal) and number of episodes, as compared to psychoeducation 2. Cognitive behavioural therapy will reduce social and occupational disability to a greater extent than psychoeducation.
NCT00002179
To evaluate the ability of the combination of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine to suppress HIV-1 infection as measured by: (1) the maintenance of HIV-1 serum viral RNA below the limit of detection of the most sensitive validated assay (ultradirect assay) and (2) absence of evidence of infectious virus in lymph node, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and semen. It is hypothesized that the administration of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine will result in: 1. No evidence of infectious virus in lymph node tissue, CSF, PBMCs, and semen samples in 50% of patients who have undetectable viral RNA by the most sensitive validated assay available (ultradirect assay) for at least 48 weeks. 2. Sustained suppression of HIV-1 infection as measured by a decrease in serum viral RNA to below the limit of detection of the ultradirect assay for at least 48 weeks in at least 25% of patients. 3. Suppression of HIV-1 infection as measured by a decrease in serum viral RNA to below the limit of detection of the standard Amplicor assay (i.e., negative) in at least 90% of patients by Week 16. 4. Suppression of HIV-1 infection, suggesting eradication of the virus as measured by maintenance of serum viral RNA to below the limit of detection of the ultradirect assay for at least 24 weeks after discontinuation of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine in patients who have maintained this level of suppression for at least 120 weeks on therapy.
