NCT01835665

NCT00212329
Type 1 diabetes is a condition that is caused in part by an abnormality of the immune system which occurs when T cells, which are part of the immune system, damage the insulin secreting cells (islet cells) in the pancreas. Although it is known that T cells are important mediators of the disease, progress in the development of reliable T cell assays has been modest. The purpose of this study is to learn which T cell assays are most reliable and reproducible so that the investigators can improve their understanding about how type 1 diabetes occurs.
NCT01391637
The purpose of this study is to determine the long term safety and preliminary effect of HuCNS-SC cells transplanted in subjects with Connatal Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease (PMD).
NCT01874977
The major goal of this project is to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of the impact of a practical, low cost physical activity intervention on fatigue among persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Fatigue has been identified as a major concern for individuals with RA, and is considered a core outcome measure for RA. Our recent study of the sources of fatigue identified physical inactivity as a primary predictor of fatigue. Studies have examined the impact of exercise interventions on RA outcomes, but most of these interventions have focused on pain or function as outcomes. The few exercise studies examining fatigue suggest that increasing physical activity reduces fatigue, but the interventions have been resource-intensive, requiring specially trained personnel to administer them, highly structured activities, and/or attendance at classes or a specified facility. Each of these components increases the cost and barriers to implementation of an intervention. Pedometers have been shown to be an effective means of increasing physical activity, and could form the basis of a simple means to increase physical activity. This project will test the effect of a simple pedometer-based intervention, with two incremental degrees of guidance, on increasing physical activity and decreasing fatigue. Three groups (n=40 in each) will be studied: a control group with an educational pamphlet only, a pedometer-only intervention group, and a pedometer group with step targets. Both intervention groups will keep step-count diaries. Groups will be followed over 20 weeks. We expect that (1) the pedometer-only intervention group will increase activity more than the education group, and the group with step-count targets will demonstrate even greater increases in activity; and (2) greater increases in activity will be associated with greater decreases in fatigue. Secondary outcome measures will include depressive symptoms, self-reported sleep quality, and body composition. Our overall goal is to demonstrate an effective, yet simple and low cost, physical activity intervention to decrease fatigue that could be broadly accessible and have the potential for wide implementation.
NCT01360203
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of implementing wireless remote monitoring combined with structured telephone monitoring, versus current care, on variation in rehospitalization among older patients hospitalized with heart failure at six medical centers.
NCT00708019
This study will test two different doses of a psychoeducational intervention to improve cancer pain management. In addition, the study will determine if the changes in pain management behaviors that the patients and family caregivers learn continue to be used when the intervention stops. It is hypothesized that patients and family caregivers who receive the high dose intervention will have a greater decrease in pain intensity scores.
NCT01076764
Primary Objective: * To demonstrate the superior efficacy (composite of all-cause death + Myocardial Infarction (MI)) of Otamixaban to Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) + Eptifibatide Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate the superior efficacy (composite of all-cause death + MI + any stroke) of Otamixaban as compared to UFH + Eptifibatide * To document the effect of Otamixaban on rehospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization due to a new episode of myocardial ischemia/myocardial infarction as compared to UFH + eptifibatide * To document the effect on mortality (all cause death) of Otamixaban as compared to UFH + eptifibatide * To document the safety of Otamixaban as compared to UFH + eptifibatide * To document the effect of Otamixaban on thrombotic procedural complications during the index Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) as compared to UFH + eptifibatide
NCT01421472
To demonstrate whether addition of MM-121 to paclitaxel is more effective than treatment with paclitaxel alone, when administered as part of the neoadjuvant treatment in Her2 negative locally advanced operable breast cancer patients.
NCT00658632
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Rabeprazole (RAB) Extended-Release (ER) 50 mg versus Esomeprazole (ESO) 40 mg in subjects with erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (eGERD).
NCT00850135
Diabetic pregnant patients are at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, including larger than expected fetuses and unplanned operative deliveries, due to elevated blood glucose levels. the one-hour glucola test is currently used to screen pregnant patients for gestational diabetes. This involves ingesting a 50-gram glucose load, followed by a blood test one hour later. We wish to compare 7-day continuous glucose monitoring to the one-hour glucola test, and determine which one correlates better with adverse pregnancy outcomes as well as which one more accurately identifies patients at risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes.
NCT01882582
The purpose of this study is to better understand whether and to what extent the activity of immune cells in blood varies over time under normal conditions as assessed in healthy subjects. Results of this study will provide the foundation for helping us evaluate changes in immune cell activities in response to surgery and drugs used in anesthesia. The overall purpose of our research is to understand immune health in the context of anesthesia and surgery.
NCT01131676
The aim of the present study is to investigate the safety of BI 10773 treatment in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and high cardiovascular risk.

NCT02174263
This phase II trial studies how well tocilizumab works in treating chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients that have not responded to treatment after at least two prior therapies. Tocilizumab blocks a protein that stimulates the body's immune system. By blocking this protein, the investigators may reduce the symptoms of chronic GVHD.
NCT00529464
Primary objectives 1. To conduct a randomized clinical trial of the emerging technology fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy, comparing colposcopy to colposcopy + spectroscopy in the diagnostic setting, stratifying patients by outside Papanicolaou (Pap) smear of low grade and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and to use multispectral digital colposcopy retrospectively. The number of clinically read referral Paps, clinically read UT MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) Paps, quantitatively read Paps, quantitatively read biopsies, point probe fluorescence/reflectance spectroscopy, and the multi-spectral digital colposcopy image, that shows a possible cancer, High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (HGSIL), Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LGSIL), or changes less than LGSIL to colposcopically directed biopsies at the first visit, Loop Electrical Excision Procedure (LEEP) at the second visit if needed, repeat evaluations at 6, 12, and 18 months that have Paps, or Paps + Endocervical Curettage or sample of the cervical canal + possible biopsy, and at the 24 month visit when all patients will at minimum have a Pap and an Endocervical Curettage for certain, and a cervical biopsy if any colposcopic abnormality is present. 2. To see if optical spectroscopy using both the point probe and the multi-spectral device improves diagnosis by improving specificity over colposcopy alone. 1. To study the number of colposcopically directed biopsies that show High-grade Squamous Intraepithelial or cancer. 2. To study the number of LEEP specimens that show HGSIL or cancer.
