NCT00498316
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if combining cord blood units will be safe and result in the cells "taking" faster in recipients. The cord blood units will have their cell number increased in the lab using cells from a family member or they will be collected from an unrelated healthy donor.
NCT01670799
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of a pain medication called ketorolac (Toradol) on ovarian cancer cells in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity after surgery for ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
NCT02801578
Ibrutinib is currently FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of CLL. However, some researchers think the approved dose may be unnecessarily high. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare 3 different daily doses of ibrutinib to learn how these doses affect the disease and your body. Researchers think that if a lower dose of ibrutinib can be found to be as effective as the currently approved dose this may help to lower the risk of side effects.
NCT02840994
The objective of the proposed clinical trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of CV301 in combination with Anti-PD1-Therapy in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The clinical trial is designed to evaluate the possible enhanced antitumor activity of CV301 with Anti-PD1-Therapy. The rationale for combining CV301 with Anti-PD1-Therapy is based on the hypothesis that CV301 can induce specific immune response in the tumor, and that in combination, Anti-PD1-Therapy may augment the T cell-mediated immune response generated by CV301 by blocking the inhibitory signal of the PD-1. The trial will include a Phase 1 portion and a Phase 1b portion with 2 cohorts. The Phase 1 portion is a dose escalation part to assess the safety and tolerability of CV301 alone, prior to moving into the combination with Anti-PD1-Therapy (the Phase 1b component). The following Phase 1b portion of the trial aims to test the safety and tolerability of the combination treatment using a two cohort approach with cohort 1 receiving CV301 plus Nivolumab and cohort 2 receiving CV301 plus Pembrolizumab.
NCT00918723
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously untreated B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may block cancer growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Giving vorinostat together with fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab may be a better treatment for CLL or SLL.
NCT00341016
Leukemia holds a special place in the study of radiation-related cancer because bone marrow is one of the tissues most sensitive to the carcinogenic effect of ionizing radiation, radiogenic leukemia has the shortest latent period among radiation-induced cancers, and its appearance suggests that solid tumors may follow. These same characteristics also contribute to its considerable significance in radiation protection. There are, nevertheless, important gaps in existing knowledge of radiation-induced leukemia, gaps that derive from characteristics of the study of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and from studies of the effects of medical irradiation and studies of nuclear workers, these being the studies that have provided most of the information to date. These gaps include the presumed reduction in risk resulting from dose-fractionation and low dose-rate, and the time-response function in the first five years after exposure. The primary objective of this study is to investigate leukemia risk as a function of such radiation; it would constitute the largest epidemiologic study conducted to date among working-age males, a group of particular concern in establishing occupational radiation safety standards. In addition, data on cases of multiple myeloma and myelodysplasia identified in the cohort will be collected to test the hypothesis of a dose related association between radiation and increased risk for each of these diseases. The primary scientific objectives of the proposed study are to test the following hypotheses: (a) that there is a dose-related increase in risk of leukemia among these liquidators; (b) that the magnitude of any observed risk per unit dose is less than that seen in the atomic bomb survivors, exposed to essentially instantaneous radiation. Subsidiary objectives include: (a) to investigate the nature of the dose-response relationship among liquidators and to identify modifiers of risk, including time since exposure, age at exposure, etc.; (b) to test the hypothesis that there is a dose-related increased risk of multiple myeloma; (c) to test the hypothesis that there is a dose-related increased risk of myelodysplasial; (d) to collect and store buccal cells from about 2,000 liquidators with a wide range of dose estimates extending to well over 1 Gy for possible use in future molecular studies of their DNA.
NCT01284010

NCT00539656
This study is to evaluate the safety of transplantation of two cord blood products, including toxicities in patients following high-dose, myeloablative chemotherapy for blood malignancies. It is also to determine if the use of two cord products results in an improvement in neutrophil engraftment.
NCT04266691
Analysis of driver gene variation in early stage non-small cell lung cancer
NCT04264377
Allergic asthma is a complex and heterogeneous disease caused by excessive responses to inhaled allergens. Current medication, including corticosteroids and bronchodilators, does not act on the origin of inflammation but rather combats symptoms, leaving many patients uncontrolled. Airway epithelium is critical for the initiation and progression of asthma pathology. We will include a 52 subjects divided over two groups: ongoing asthma (26 patients) and non-asthmatic healthy controls (26 subjects) in a cross-sectional study. All subjects will be extensively clinically characterized including respiratory symptoms/questionnaires, in- and expiratory CT-scans, and parameters of large and small airway function and inflammation. In addition, blood and nasal epithelial brushes will be obtained to study the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of asthma. Finally, bronchoscopy with bronchial biopsies and brushes will be performed under conscious sedation. Bronchial biopsies from both patient groups will be used for single cell transcriptional analysis.
NCT04263870
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab plus CAPOX in the conversion therapy for patients with unresectable locally advanced or limited metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or esophagogastric junction
NCT02529995

NCT03309215
The former Nickel Directive was introduced in EU in 1994 limiting the release of nickel from items intended for prolonged contact with skin. The nickel regulation entered into full force in 2001 and became a part of REACH (the EU chemicals regulation) in 2009. Since then the prevalence of nickel allergy has declined in some countries, but not in others, following the implementation. Young individuals still become allergic to nickel (2, 3) and a high prevalence of nickel allergy, exceeding 10%, is seen among young women (below 30 years) in the general population. The EU nickel regulation has been changing over time. The present limits of nickel release for metallic items intended for direct and prolonged contact with the skin is \<0.5 μg/cm2/week and \<0.2 μg/cm2/week for any post assemblies inserted into pierced holes. In 2014, EU defined prolonged contact with the skin as: at least 30 minutes on one or more occasions within two weeks for items with continuous skin contact, or to at least 10 minutes on three or more occasions within two weeks (7). The overall objective is to evaluate how well the EU nickel regulation protects individuals against developing nickel dermatitis. More specifically we will: 1. Study the penetration of nickel in normal and irritated skin after short repeated skin exposure under controlled temperature in nickel sensitized patients and in healthy controls 2. Reveal the potential of short repeated nickel skin exposure on normal and irritated skin to elicit dermatitis, during controlled climate factors in nickel sensitized patients and controls using the time restrictions of the definition of prolonged skin contact in the nickel regulation.

NCT03155009
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of alectinib, in selected participants, with anaplastic lymphoma kinase-rearranged (ALK-rearranged) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), after disease progression on prior treatment strategy with crizotinib, as only ALK inhibitor, and eventually chemotherapy treatment(s).
NCT01010256
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of a specific protein (PTEN) in the cancer cells of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) patients. This protein might be involved in the transformation from normal blood cells to leukemia cells. The PTEN protein has not been investigated in CMML specifically but it has been discovered in closely related cancers. If this study demonstrates an abnormality in this protein, future testing will be designed to evaluate the genetic abnormality that resulted in lack of the normal presence of this protein. The goal is that the results of this study will help to develop new drugs and strategies to treat the future patients with CMML by understanding the abnormality of the disease at the cellular and molecular levels. The results of this study can also be utilized by future studies to develop individualized treatment to patients who have abnormal levels of this protein.
NCT01925729
This study will determine if exposure to an allergy material (ragweed) or exposure to an allergic-symptom-provoking substance (histamine) and medications typically used to decongest the nose changes the rate of blood-flow in the lining of the middle-ear. Otitis media (the build-up of water-like fluid in the middle-ear airspace) may occur if the blood flow in the lining of the middle-ear is too high and may be prevented if a way could be found to lower the blood flow in persons susceptible to the disease. Middle-ear blood flow is measured indirectly by measuring the change in middle-ear pressure while a person breathes a gas mixture containing nitrous oxide ("laughing gas"). In this study, 4 groups of subjects will be entered and middle-ear pressure in persons breathing a mixture of 50% Oxygen, 50% Nitrous Oxide ("laughing gas")will be measured after exposure to one of four substances (ragweed, histamine,an oral decongestant, a decongestant nasal spray) and a fake medication (placebo) at separate test sessions. All subjects will have one set of 2 x-rays of the middle ears and mastoids. The group exposed to ragweed will require 3 study visits while the other 3 groups will have 2 study visits. From this information middle-ear blood flow will be calculated. This will help determine the relationship between what happens in the nose and what happens in the middle ear.
