NCT00831116
In April 2008, a coronary catheter based imaging system, LipiScan, was cleared by the FDA for use in detecting lipid core containing containing plaques of interest (LCP). These plaques are rich in cholesterol. The way that cholesterol and other lipids deposit with the coronary artery is unique to each patient. This study is an organized attempt to observe the LCP and the variety of ways that it presents in patients as detected by this recently approved device. This information will be used for physician training and to observe the behavior of the LCP in response to no therapy and currently approved therapies. The purpose of this project is further medical knowledge of the LCP and its treatment.
NCT03078933
The clinical trial will assess the delivery of Nitric Oxide topically to the diabetic foot ulcer wound and the surrounding wound area as it related to wound healing. The objective of the study is to assess the Nitric Oxide Therapy treatment time (the number of minutes to deliver the treatment) and frequency (number of days per week to treat) to determine the most optimal treatment time and frequency to develop a rationale for safety and efficacy for the final APT001 clinical study.
NCT00936715
The objective of this study is to provide open label emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) for an additional 5 years (240 weeks) to adults completing study GS-US-203-0107.
NCT02104466
Peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes, and one of the strongest determinants of reduced health-related quality of life among people with diabetes. Neuropathy frequently presents with painful symptoms, activity limitation, insomnia, fatigue, and depressive symptoms. Anti-convulsants and tricyclic anti-depressants provide at least moderate pain relief for 25-50% of patients with painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN), but often decrease other domains of quality of life through adverse effects, such as dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, and urinary problems. Effective, non-pharmaceutical approaches for PDN are needed, particularly for low income and racial/ethnic minorities who are at highest risk of diabetes and related complications. Acupuncture is a promising treatment for PDN, but evidence is limited. To address the significant public health need related to pain management among underserved people with diabetes, this study proposes an innovative, group-based model of acupuncture for PDN at an urban safety net hospital. Sixty patients who have PDN will be enrolled and randomized to one of three arms: (a) usual care combined with 12 weeks of group acupuncture twice weekly, (b) usual care combined with 12 weeks of group acupuncture once weekly, or (c) usual care alone (20 in each group). The aims of the study are to determine the feasibility of group acupuncture for PDN among underserved patients with diabetes; to evaluate the preliminary treatment effects of group acupuncture on pain, health-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, sleep disturbance, nerve conduction velocity, and protective sensation; and to determine the optimal frequency of acupuncture treatments. The investigators hypothesize that compared to patients receiving usual care alone, patients who undergo weekly group acupuncture treatments will have: 1. decreased pain intensity 2. improved health-related quality of life 3. improved sural nerve conduction velocity
NCT00104429

NCT01220297
A continuation study of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis for patients undergoing matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), high risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
NCT01440374
This was a worldwide, three-part (Part 1: open-label, Part 2: randomized, double-blind, Part 3: extension), multi-center study to evaluate the effect of eltrombopag in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy. This objective was assessed by a composite primary endpoint that consists of the following: the proportion of ≥Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events, or platelet counts \<10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions. Patients with MDS or AML and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy were enrolled in the study. No low or intermediate-1 risk MDS subjects were enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had at least one of the following during the 4 weeks prior to enrolment: platelet count \<10 Gi/L, platelet transfusion, or symptomatic hemorrhagic event. Supportive standard of care (SOC), including hydroxyurea, was allowed as indicated by local practice throughout the study. The study had 3 sequential parts. Subjects who were enrolled in Part 1 (open-label) cannot be enrolled in Part 2 of the study (randomized, double-blind); however, subjects who completed the treatment period for Part 1 or Part 2 (8 and 12 weeks, respectively) continued in Part 3 (extension) if the investigator determined that the subject was receiving clinical benefit on treatment.
NCT01305252
The Study Hypothesis: Aggressive, upfront, dual therapy for treatment-naïve NYHA I/II/III PAH is superior to a traditional "step-up" approach. The study will evaluate: 1. Impact of dual, upfront, therapy on cardiovascular parameters in PAH as gauged by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) at 24 weeks and event free survival at outcome at 48 weeks. 2. Value of novel biomarkers (NT-pro BNP, Mts1/S100A4, and insulin resistance) and cutting-edge imaging technologies (cardiac MRI) as newer endpoints for clinical trials in PAH. 3. Utility of longer clinical trial design with the use of combined clinical events as time to clinical worsening surrogate
NCT00673153
RATIONALE: Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by interfering with various proteins needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO), can block cancer growth in different ways. GO finds cancer cells and helps kill them by carrying a cancer-killing substance to them. Giving vorinostat together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vorinostat together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT00383643

We will compare the efficacy of sodium oxybate with zolpidem tartrate (Ambien®), and compare the efficacy of each of these two medications with placebos.
NCT00811733
Given the tolerability and efficacy of ofatumumab in follicular lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and the need to improve therapy for patients with WM utilizing a non-myelosuppressive agent this phase II trial of ofatumumab is being initiated in patients with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM).
NCT02145468
Losmapimod is a new anti-inflammatory medication which potentially may benefit patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome, (ACS), a condition which includes heart attack. There is a growing understanding that the inflammatory response to ACS is integral to the subsequent evolution of plaque instability. Losmapimod inhibits p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), an enzyme which may play a central role in inflammation in the setting of heart attack. Inhibition of p38 MAPK may stabilize atherosclerotic plaques, reduce the risk of subsequent plaque rupture, indirectly improve vascular function and prevent subsequent thrombosis, and thus reduce infarct size and the risk of subsequent cardiac events. This study will test whether losmapimod can safely reduce the risk of a subsequent cardiovascular event (such as death, heart attack, or near heart attack requiring urgent treatment ) when started immediately after ACS (specifically, heart attack). Patients who present with heart attack and qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive 3 months treatment with either losmapimod twice daily or placebo, which will be administered in addition to the usual standard of care therapies for heart attack. Following the in-hospital period, subjects will return for outpatient visits at 4 and 12 weeks, as well as a follow up visit at 24 weeks.

NCT01457885
Although transplant results for AML in complete remission (CR) at the time of transplant have improved, transplant results for non-remission AML have been quite poor. Most multi-center studies have focused on standard risk AML patients and not many studies have been done in this population of patients with non-remission AML. There are a large number of older patients with non-remission AML because the complete remission rate with induction chemotherapy decreases with age. Such older patients do not tolerate conventional full intensity conditioning regimens. Thus, an effective and tolerable conditioning regimen for non-remission AML is a great unmet need for current transplant practice. From the investigators earlier study, it is suggested that replacing Fludarabine of standard FluBu4 regimen by Clofarabine (a related drug with much more potent anti-leukemia effect) in the transplant conditioning regimen may potentiate the anti-tumor activity of the conditioning regimen without adding significant toxicity, a goal of new conditioning regimen development. The investigators expect to enroll a total of 75 patients from about fifteen sites. The investigators main objective is to confirm both the safety and efficacy as measured by one-year overall survival, of the CloBu4 combination as full intensity conditioning for non-remission acute myelogenous leukemia.
