NCT01064401
The primary study objective is to test the superiority of Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) compared to interferon β 1a (IFN β-1a) in preventing multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse in participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. The secondary study objectives are to test the superiority of DAC HYP compared to IFN β-1a in slowing functional decline and disability progression and maintaining quality of life in this participant population.
NCT01261806
Toddlers (2- to 3-year-old children) in foster care often have difficulty regulating behavior and biology, and are at risk for a host of mental health problems. Critical issues for toddlers straddle the challenges of infancy and preschool years. In particular, toddlers in foster care face significant challenges in forming new attachment relationships and developing behavioral and biological regulatory capabilities. This project will assess the effectiveness of an intervention that targets these issues. Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up for Toddlers in Foster Care (ABC-T) was developed to help parents: provide nurturing care so that children develop secure, trusting relationships; and supporting children when they become overwhelmed that enhance children's ability to regulate behavior and biology. This intervention's effectiveness will be assessed in a randomized clinical trial.
NCT00027300
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of natalizumab in the treatment of individuals who have been diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). It is hoped that natalizumab will prevent certain types of white blood cells from moving out of the bloodstream into organs, including the brain, that are being damaged by autoimmune disease (a disease in which the body's own immune system attacks certain organs). These white blood cells are thought to cause inflammation that can result in lesions (small areas of damage) in the brain. These lesions are thought to be the cause of relapses and disability in MS.
NCT00035113
This study will examine whether the new investigational drug EPO906, given by intravenous infusion (IV directly into the vein), is effective in shrinking tumors and preventing the growth of cells that cause prostate cancer.
NCT00035126
This study will examine whether the investigational drug EPO906, given by intravenous infusion (IV directly into the vein), is effective in shrinking tumors and preventing the growth of cells that cause breast cancer.
NCT00400361
This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose and pharmacokinetic profile of R1507 in patients with metastatic or locally advanced malignant solid tumors, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin's lymphoma. Groups of patients will be sequentially enrolled to receive ascending doses of R1507 either weekly or three-weekly by intravenous infusion. The starting dose of 1mg/kg iv for each dosing regimen will be escalated in subsequent groups of patients after a satisfactory assessment of safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the previous dose. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or dose-limiting toxicity, and the target sample size is \<100 individuals.
NCT00532090
This study will determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety and pharmacokinetic profile of R4733 (RO4929097), administered orally to patients with refractory metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors. The study will assess three different dosing schedules; in one schedule R4733 will be administered 3days on/ 4 days off, in another on days 1-7 of each 21 day cycle, and in a third schedule continuously daily. The starting dose for each dosing regimen will be escalated in subsequent groups of patients after a satisfactory assessment of the safety and tolerability of the previous dose. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or dose-limiting toxicity, and the target sample size is 100-200 individuals.
NCT01043523
Medical records are reviewed to obtain information about the use of a MRI diagnostic imaging agent (contrast agent) called Primovist/Eovist in children older than 2 months and less than 18 years. Data that has been recorded in the child's medical records relating to the injection of Primovist/Eovist will be collected. Information will be collected from up to 2 weeks before the child received Primovist/Eovist until 12 months after the child received Primovist/Eovist. Copy of the child's MR images that were taken right before and after the child received Primovist/Eovist and all other reports (laboratory reports, other imaging reports, etc) that are part of the child's medical records during that time period will be collected.
NCT00985374
This 2 part study will assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a combination of oral daily RAD001 and intravenous 3-weekly R1507 in patients with advanced solid tumors. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be enrolled sequentially to receive 5mg by mouth (po) RAD001 daily + 16mg/kg intravenous (iv) R1507 every 3 weeks (level 1) and if tolerated, 10mg po RAD001 daily + 16mg/kg iv R1507 every 3 weeks (level 2).In Part 2 of the study, patients with 1) advanced renal cell cancer and 2) advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors will receive the maximum tolerated dose regimen from Part 1 (5mg or 10mg po RAD001 + 16mg/kg iv R1507). The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
NCT02159573
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate relapse activity, as measured by the proportion of participants relapsed at 12 months, in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who transition from Tysabri (BG00002) to Tecfidera (BG00012) in the real-world setting. The secondary objective is to further evaluate relapse activity, defined as annualized relapse rate (ARR), hospitalization and intravenous corticosteroid use, during the first year of Tecfidera treatment following transition from Tysabri treatment.
NCT00514943
The primary objective of this study is to explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 compared with cetuximab (Erbitux) in patients with metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer after failure of platinum-containing therapy. In addition, the trial aims to clarify the influence of EGFR genotype on tumor response to the treatment regimens.
NCT01070823
The primary objective is to define the prevalence of serum anti-JCV antibody in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) participants receiving Tysabri® (natalizumab) or being considered for such treatment. Secondary objectives are to analytically validate the anti-JCV antibody assay in a plasma matrix and to determine changes in anti-JCV antibody status over time.

NCT01597297
The objectives of this study in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) participants treated with prolonged-released fampridine (BIIB041) 10 mg twice daily compared with participants treated with placebo are to assess the effect over 24 weeks on the following parameters to explore endpoints for the Phase 3 study: self-assessed walking disability, dynamic and static balance, subjective impression of well-being, and participants' global impression of change in walking . Another purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine.
NCT01772199
This is a randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to assess whether GSK239512 can enhance lesion remyelination in subjects with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Subjects with RRMS on stable background treatment with either Avonex (Interferon-beta1a) or Copaxone (Glatiramer Acetate) are eligible to participate. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between placebo and GSK239512, and will continue to be managed with their current standard of care therapy (Copaxone or Avonex). The total treatment period is 48 weeks, including a standard 4 week titration period and 44 week maintenance treatment period (which could be adapted to a 5-week titration and 43 week maintenance period, if needed). Titration doses start at 10 micrograms (mcg) and increase up to 80 mcg (10 mcg first week, 20 mcg second week, 40 mcg third week, 80 mcg fourth week). Subjects will be titrated to the maximum tolerated dose with the objective of titrating to the highest dose (80 mcg GSK239512), whenever possible, based on investigator judgement of tolerability. The post-treatment follow-up period will be a minimum of 2 weeks in duration following the end of treatment at Week 48 or early withdrawal, as appropriate.
NCT02081495
