NCT02630225
The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized trial of an intervention program that combines a hospital-based intervention, structured outreach program, and multi-agency attention. The goal of the study is to test the effect of this multi-component intervention on criminal activity, injury, substance abuse, mental health, quality of life, violent behavior, and death. Investigators aim to enroll a total of 300 patients admitted to the Harborview Medical Center (HMC) for firearm-related injuries. Patients will be randomized to receive a multi-component intervention or treatment as usual. All participants will complete surveys at the time of study consent (baseline) and then at designated time points for 12 months post-consent. Study staff will routinely collect participant records from Washington State Patrol records, HMC medical records, Washington State trauma registry, Washington State Emergency Department Information Exchange, Administrative Office of the Courts, and vital records. The investigators will test the impact of the intervention against standard care. The hypothesis is that participants in the intervention group will see greater improvements in aforementioned outcomes than those in the control group.
NCT00990236
The risk of developing a blood clot occurs in up to 60% of all critical care patients. Many times enoxaparin (or Lovenox®) is given to patients who are at a higher risk of developing clots in their legs or lungs. Recent data suggest that a standard dose of Lovenox may not fully prevent the development of these clots especially in critically ill or obese patients. Routine enoxaparin dosing can also result in bleeding complications. Thrombelastography (TEG®) can be used to measure how blood clots. The purposes of this study are: * to learn if the TEG® can better guide physicians in prescribing an effective dose of Lovenox compared to standard doses recommended by the drug company in preventing blood clots from developing in the legs and lungs, and * to compare the development of blood clots in patients receiving the standard dose of enoxaparin compared to patients receiving a TEG® guided dose of enoxaparin. * to determine if TEG guided dosing results in decreased bleeding complications compared to standard dosing.
NCT00436332
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving erlotinib together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01238575
The purpose of this study is to determine whether guanfacine (trade name Intuniv) by itself or in combination with methylphenidate (also known as Ritalin) is helpful for treating hyperactivity in children and adolescents with a Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs).
NCT02286947
The primary objective of this study is to explore safety and tolerability of eteplirsen in participants with advanced stage Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) who are amenable to exon 51 skipping.
NCT01077518
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab and bendamustine combination therapy in patients with indolent B-cell NHL that did not respond to rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen during or within 6 months of the last rituximab treatment.
NCT00524277
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express HER2/neu. Biological therapies, such as GM-CSF, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy is more effective than GM-CSF in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying vaccine therapy to see how well it works compared with GM-CSF in treating patients with breast cancer.
NCT00026338
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Biological therapies such as erlotinib use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Combining chemotherapy and biological therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known if gemcitabine is more effective with or without erlotinib in treating pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of gemcitabine with and without erlotinib in treating patients who have unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
NCT00003892
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ISIS 5132 in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent ovarian cancer that has not responded to previous chemotherapy.
NCT00003011
RATIONALE: Marimastat may stop the growth of lung cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if marimastat is an effective treatment for small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of marimastat with a placebo following chemotherapy in treating patients who have small cell lung cancer.
NCT00002678
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is most effective in treating patients with multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of various combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients with multiple myeloma.
NCT00006890
RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of multiple myeloma by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Prednisone may be effective in preventing relapse of multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two doses of thalidomide combined with prednisone following peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have multiple myeloma.
NCT00004234
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy at different times of the day may affect the chance of developing side effects such as mucositis. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the incidence of mucositis in patients who have cancer of the mouth, pharynx, or larynx, who are receiving radiation therapy in either the morning or afternoon.
NCT00003232
RATIONALE: Some drugs used in chemotherapy can reduce the pain experienced by some people with cancer. Combining more than one drug may be more effective at reducing cancer pain. It is not known whether receiving combination chemotherapy with clodronate is more effective than receiving combination chemotherapy without clodronate for hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy using mitoxantrone plus prednisone with or without clodronate in treating pain in patients with hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer.
NCT00002633
RATIONALE: Hormones can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight prostate cancer by reducing the production of androgens.
