NCT00004859
This randomized phase III trial is studying carboplatin, paclitaxel, radiation therapy, and thalidomide to see how well they work compared to carboplatin, paclitaxel, and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage III non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy is more effective with or without thalidomide.
NCT00473161
A newly-developed device for biofeedback of surface EMG will be used to either increase or decrease activity in the muscles of children with poor reaching due to cerebral palsy.
NCT00255073
Reduction of spasticity has been a major focus of the treatment of childhood cerebral palsy, resulting in numerous treatment strategies that target various parts of the motor system. However, in many children weakness may be a greater contributor to disability than spasticity. Recent results suggest a correlation between spasticity and weakness, but it is not known if reduction of spasticity can improve strength. We suggest a simplified model in which spinal mechanisms (including reflex contributions to spasticity) and supraspinal mechanisms (including voluntary contributions to strength) combine to activate muscle. The model implies that the supraspinal contribution cannot increase unless the spinal contribution decreases. We therefore hypothesize that reduction of spasticity improves the ability to increase voluntary strength. We propose a double-masked placebo-controlled clinical trial combining treatment using the oral anti-spasticity medication baclofen with a 6-week program of strength training. We will enroll 20 ambulatory children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Prior to and following the intervention, we will obtain quantitative measures of spasticity, strength, and gait. We predict that the children taking baclofen will have a greater increase in strength than the children taking placebo. We predict that the increase in strength will be reflected in improved performance on gait analysis, and it will correlate with a reduction in quantitative measures of spasticity and spinal reflex excitability. If the hypothesis is correct, it will provide important new information on the relationship between spasticity and strength in children with cerebral palsy. It will provide the first measurements of the effect of baclofen on voluntary muscle activation in children. It will support the short-term use of combined anti-spasticity medication and strengthening as a new clinical treatment for ankle weakness in children with spastic diplegia. A successful result will have immediate and significant implications for treatment of children with cerebral palsy.
NCT02082197
This is an open-study with a 26 week open label treatment period followed by an optional 26 week open label extension. The total treatment period will be 52 weeks.
NCT00946920
A phase 3, open-label, parallel group, one year trial comparing the efficacy and safety of degarelix 3-month depot with the established therapy goserelin acetate 3-month implant in patients with prostate cancer.
NCT01211678
The primary objective of this study was to validate the ability of an 8-gene biomarker set to differentiate between participants who met or did not meet European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Disease Activity Score (DAS)-28 Good Response criteria after treatment with anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) therapy for 14 weeks in approximately 200 anti-TNF-naïve participants. The secondary objectives of this study was (i) to compare the behavior of the 8-gene marker set in participants who were anti-TNF naïve versus those who began their second anti-TNF treatment , (ii) to develop, maintain, and utilize a biorepository of serum, plasma, RNA, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples for additional experiments and analyses and (iii) to discover novel genetic (DNA) predictors of response to anti-TNF therapy.
NCT00689052
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of an extended-release (ER) formulation of pramipexole in comparison with placebo for the treatment of fibromyalgia. The objective of the open-label phase is to assess the safety profile and effect of Pramipexole (PPX) extended-release (ER) in fibromyalgia patients over a 24-week period.
NCT01329978
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) administered in combination with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PEG/RBV) in treatment-naive patients with HCV genotypes 1,4,5,6, or indeterminate genotype.
NCT00931515
The NuBac device is indicated for reconstruction following nucleotomy in skeletally mature patients at least 18 years of age with symptomatic single level degenerative disc disease (DDD) at L4/L5 only. DDD is defined as discogenic back pain with or without leg pain; with degeneration of the disc as confirmed by patient history, physical examination, radiographic studies showing: decreased disc height, contained herniated nucleus, vacuum phenomenon (dark disc) OR positive discography at the affected level. These DDD patients should have no more than Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level and should have failed at least six months of conservative, non-operative care. Demonstrate non-inferiority compared to ProDisc.
NCT00623766
To assess the response of melanoma with brain metastases to ipilimumab treatment while maintaining acceptable tolerability.
NCT00833690
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of inosine and its ability to raise urate levels in blood and cerebral spinal fluid in individuals with early Parkinson disease. This will determine whether it is appropriate to proceed with a larger study of inosine's ability to modify the rate of disability progression in PD.
NCT01241760

NCT00233246
This study will compare patients with mild to moderate prolongation of the INR test who receive FFP infusions prior to invasive hepatobiliary procedures for bleeding complications to patients who do not receive FFP infusions. Bleeding complications will be defined as meeting one or more of the following: 1. Intrahepatic hematoma greater than 1 ml/kg of patient weight as seen on post-procedure ultrasound examination performed between 4 to 30 hours after the procedure. 2. Greater than 1.6g/dL hemoglobin decline measured within 4 to 30 hours post-procedure compared with the pre-procedure value, in the absence of another identified bleeding source to account for the hemoglobin drop. 3. Need for transfusion of packed red blood cells for procedure-related bleeding while in the study. The secondary endpoints of this study will be: 1) The need to perform subsequent procedures (angiography, embolization, additional imaging study including computerized tomography (CT) scan, surgery) to diagnose or to arrest procedure-related bleeding OR the need for subsequent medical therapies (FFP, coagulation factor concentrates, anti-fibrinolytics) to treat procedure-related bleeding between time of procedure and the end of patient's time in the study. If necessary, the relationship of procedure or therapy to procedure-related bleeding will be assessed by an adjudication panel; 2) The predictive value of INR; 3) The effect of study treatment on change in INR; 4) The cost of preventing one bleed; 5) The predictors of bleeding other than INR; 6) The number of transfusion-associated adverse events encountered to prevent one bleed; and 7) The effect of treatment on bleeding grade.
