NCT00637247
The purpose of this study is to determine if imexon in combination with gemcitabine could improve overall survival as compared to gemcitabine alone in subjects with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs such as the liver or lungs. The study will also look at the safety of the combination as compared to gemcitabine alone. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to either treatment and neither the participant or their doctors will know which treatment they will be receiving.
NCT01553188
Background: * Advanced prostate cancer is treated with surgery or drugs that lower the levels of androgens (male hormones) in the body. However, some cancers become resistant to this treatment. These types of cancers are known as castration-resistant prostate cancers. * Interfering with the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors can slow prostate cancer growth. Trebananib (AMG 386), a new anticancer drug, targets the blood vessels that feed tumors. It has been tested for different types of cancer, but not for prostate cancer. Researchers want to see if AMG 386 can slow disease progression in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer. AMG 386 will be given with abiraterone and prednisone, two drugs that are also used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Objectives: \- To test the safety and effectiveness of AMG 386 with abiraterone for castration-resistant prostate cancer. Eligibility: \- Men at least 18 years of age with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and imaging studies. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. * Participants will be separated into two groups. * The first group will have AMG 386 once per week for a total of four doses during a 28-day cycle. They will also take abiraterone once a day and prednisone twice a day, every day of the cycle. * The second group will not have AMG 386. They will take abiraterone once a day and prednisone twice a day, every day of the 28-day cycle. * Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. * Participants will continue to take the study drugs as long as the disease does not progress and there are no severe side effects.

NCT03202992
This study evaluates the use of ABI-1968, a topical cream, in the treatment of anal precancerous lesions in adults with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
NCT02398461
This is a Phase 1, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study in subjects with relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The primary outcome will be the safety and tolerability of a single dose of rHIgM22 in relapsing MS subjects.
NCT01636453
To assess the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra Liberty Stent System as adjunctive treatment to embolic coils for wide-neck, saccular, intracranial aneurysms in the internal carotid artery (ICA). The Liberty Stent System is an implantable device comprised of a stent and delivery system designed as an adjunct to embolic coils in the treatment of wide-neck, saccular, intracranial aneurysms. It has three components: an implant, an introducer sheath and a delivery wire assembly. The implant component is made of superelastic and biocompatible nitinol tubular material. Patients presenting with wide-neck, saccular, intracranial aneurysms in the internal carotid artery (ICA) from the cavernous segment to the carotid terminus (including the paraclinoid, ophthalmic, hypophyseal and posterior communicating segments) will receive stent assisted coiling by the Penumbra Liberty Stent with any approved embolic coils currently on the market. Wide-neck aneurysms are defined by a neck ≥4mm or a dome-to-neck ratio \<2. Each patient will be followed and assessed for 2, 6 and 12 months after enrollment.
NCT01748903
The purpose of this prospective registry is to collect real world, post-marketing data on the use of Stryker Target® 360,Target® 2D, and 2nd generation Target® Nano coils for the embolization of ruptured or unruptured intracranial saccular aneurysms. Up to 300 patients (150 in the TARGET 360°/Helical arm and 150 in the New NANO arm) presenting with intracranial aneurysms suitable for coil embolization will be enrolled at up to 20 sites. A post hoc analysis comparing Target® 360° and Target® 2D coil technical and clinical endpoints will be performed.
