NCT00450970
The SPERA trial is designed to 1. provide satraplatin to physicians with patients who have hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) which has progressed following unlimited cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease and 2. to evaluate the safety of oral satraplatin in this patient population.
NCT00300274
This trial was to examine the impact of everolimus and reduced dose of cyclosporine on efficacy and safety compared to mycophenolate mofetil and a standard dose of cyclosporine in heart transplant recipients.
NCT01248468
The main purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of aspirin, acetaminophen and caffeine (AAC) with sumatriptan and placebo in the acute treatment of migraine.
NCT00104988
RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of melanoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It may also stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving thalidomide together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving thalidomide together with temozolomide works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
NCT00085839
The purpose of this noncomparative study is to obtain preliminary estimates of the efficacy of erlotinib and standard chemotherapy in patients with advanced, previously untreated nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2. The study will also evaluate the safety of single-agent erlotinib in this patient population.
NCT00282711
The purpose of this study is to compare two types of exercise stress testing to find the best method for detecting heart disease in women.
NCT00534313
The purpose of this study is to determine an optimal abatacept dosing regimen for the treatment of active arthritis due to psoriatic arthritis in patients who have had a prior inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, including methotrexate and tumor necrosis factor alpha-blockade compounds.
NCT00690716
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effect of nasal carbon dioxide in the treatment of mild headaches in people who have migraines.
NCT00661154
To determine whether using a radiolabelled analog of 5-FU, \[18F\]-5-fluorouracil, for PET/CT imaging can visually demonstrate differential chemotherapy delivery to known tumor sites before and after administration of bevacizumab and determine the optimal timing of bevacizumab administration to maximize the chemotherapy delivery into the tumor for improved cancer treatment.
NCT00976027
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of Fluzone High Dose vaccine and that of Fluzone® vaccine in the elderly. Primary objective: To measure the efficacy of the vaccine, defined as the prevention of laboratory-confirmed influenza caused by viral types/subtypes that are antigenically similar to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations. Secondary objectives: * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High Dose vaccine with that of Fluzone® vaccine in elderly adults, with respect to laboratory-confirmed influenza illness caused by any type or subtype of influenza virus. * To compare the clinical efficacy of Fluzone High Dose vaccine with that of Fluzone® vaccine in elderly adults, in preventing culture-confirmed influenza illness caused by viral types/subtypes antigenically similar to those contained in the respective annual vaccine formulations.
NCT00087490
To determine if linezolid is superior to vancomycin in the treatment of complicated skin and soft tissue infections due to MRSA in adult subjects
NCT00772005
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether armodafinil treatment is more effective than placebo as adjunctive therapy to antipsychotic medication in alleviating the negative symptoms of schizophrenia
NCT00949975
The primary objective is to evaluate the dose-response relationship and efficacy of AZD9668 at 3 dose levels compared with placebo in symptomatic COPD patients by assessing effects on lung function and symptoms of COPD.
NCT00196404
This is a placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of DR-3001 in women with overactive bladder who have symptoms of predominant or pure urge incontinence, urinary urgency and elevated urinary frequency
NCT00909727
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivacaftor in subjects with cystic fibrosis aged 6 to 11 years who have the G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Ivacaftor is a potent and selective potentiator of wild-type, G551D, F508del, and R117H forms of human CFTR protein. Potentiators are pharmacological agents that increase the chloride ion transport properties of the channel in the presence of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation.
NCT00506233
Primary Objective: 1\. To determine the feasibility of conducting a multi-site longitudinal observational study of patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
NCT00110513
Patients with hereditary antithrombin deficiency are at increased risk of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, particularly during certain high risk procedures. The trial focused on patients with confirmed hereditary antithrombin deficiency who were undergoing a surgical procedure or induced/spontaneous labor and delivery, and/or caesarean section. The study assessed the incidence of thromboembolic events following prophylactic intravenous administration of recombinant human antithrombin (rhAT) to patients with hereditary antithrombin (AT) deficiency in situations usually associated with a high risk for thromboembolic events.
NCT01584050
Folic acid, a form of the vitamin folate, is added to grain products in Canada to help reduce birth defects. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate and is very stable (doesn't break down) when added to foods. There are emerging health concerns about chronic folic acid consumption. Recently another more natural form of folate, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-MTHF) has become available. The investigators plan to conduct a randomized trial in women to determine if supplements containing L-MTHF consumed over three months raises blood folate levels as much as supplements containing folic acid. The investigators hypothesize that L-MTHF will increase red cell folate over 12 weeks to same extent as equimolar folic acid.
NCT00084903
RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures such as fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy (shining light on tissue and measuring patterns of light reflected) may improve the ability to noninvasively detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and dysplasia. PURPOSE: This diagnostic trial is studying how well fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy during colposcopy work in detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and dysplasia in healthy participants with a history of normal Pap smears.
NCT00511615
The hypothesis of this research project is that topical application of the anti-EGFR or anti-E6/E7 contrast agents followed by optical imaging will yield images that reflect spatial variations in expression that correlate with the presence of cervical precancer. To gather feasibility data the investigators will: 1. Obtain cervical specimens from women with high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HGSILs) being treated with the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). 2. After Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is performed, obtain low and high resolution optical images before and after applying contrast agents topically to the epithelial surface of the tissue for 30 minutes before rinsing. 3. Submit the specimen for histology, and have it sectioned and stained using both H\&E and immunohistochemical staining for EGFR or E6/E7. The images will be reconstructed into a two dimensional map delineating areas of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) and of EGFR or E6/E7 overexpression. Maps of the pathology will be compared to those obtained from the intact cervix exposed to the contrast agent.
