NCT00179478
The current study is a continuation of the 5 year extension study of the phase III CHAMPS study (see reference). This study was designed to determine if immediate initiation of therapy with Interferon Beta-1a (AVONEX) after a first attack of multiple sclerosis (MS) continues to delay the development of further attacks (CDMS) and the development of neurological disability over a 10 year period of observation. The initial 5 year extension study, called CHAMPIONS5, reported that immediate initiation of interferon Beta-1a (AVONEX) after a first attack of MS continued to delay the development of CDMS and lowered relapse rates compared to delayed initiation of disease modifying treatment (usually with AVONEX) either at the time of a second attack or at the end of the phase III study (24 months). The study was extended to 10 years to determine if these effects are sustained and result in less long term permanent disability.
NCT00335556
This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery work in treating patients with high-risk kidney tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

NCT00883909
ARI103094 is a follow-up study in adult male subjects who have received investigational product (either dutasteride or placebo) in the REDUCE Study (REduction by DUasteride of prostate Cancer Events), ARI40006, A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Dutasteride 0.5mg Administered Orally Once Daily for Four Years to Reduce the Risk of Biopsy-Detectable Prostate Cancer. There are 2 parts to this REDUCE Follow-Up Study, Part A and Part B: * REDUCE Follow-Up Study, Part A, is a 2 year observational study which will follow eligible subjects for 2 years after completion of the 4 Contact in the REDUCE study. Eligible subjects for Part A, the 2 Year Observational Study fall into 3 groups as follows: (1) REDUCE subjects who completed treatment with investigational product (dutasteride or placebo) through the REDUCE 4 Year study visit \[Visit 10\], (2) REDUCE subjects who developed prostate cancer, were withdrawn from investigational product and participated in Prostate Cancer follow-up until the REDUCE 4 Year study visit \[Visit 10P\] or (3) REDUCE subjects who were withdrawn from investigational product and participated in observational phone follow up until the REDUCE 4 Year phone call after withdrawing from IP (expected Visit 10). The objective of this observational study for eligible REDUCE subjects is to collect and summarize data on prostate cancer (the incidence of newly diagnosed prostate cancers and changes in prostate cancer diagnosed during the REDUCE study) and serious adverse events (SAEs) for 2 years beyond the prospectively planned 4 year double blind, placebo-controlled study, REDUCE. * REDUCE Follow-Up Study, Part B, is for collection of cancer positive prostate biopsy tissue blocks/slides from subjects who were diagnosed with prostate cancer in the REDUCE study.
NCT02656641
This study will assess the effects of client feedback, using the Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, on depression and anxiety in individuals undergoing brief psychotherapy. Client feedback allows therapists to monitor treatment progress in real time. Identifying an easily accessible treatment intervention, which utilizes commonly used scales, that potentially enhances the effect of brief psychotherapy and improves treatment outcomes is a valuable endeavor with clear implications for therapy practices. It is hypothesized that clients who complete these scales each session will show greater symptom improvement than clients who do not complete the scales.
NCT00359190
This study will examine the inhibition of ErbB1 and ErbB2 phosphorylation and downstream mediators of tumor cell growth and survival tumor tissue in treatment-naive breast cancer patients for three dosing schedules of lapatinib.

Objectives To examine the effect of CST as compared to PFPT on QOL, SEMG resting biofeedback readings, and PVR ultrasonography measures in patients with MS and LUTS. B. Hypotheses / Research Question(s) It is hypothesized that patients who receive CST will demonstrate improved QOL, bladder control and ability to empty bladder as compared to those who receive PFPT.
NCT00388076
Pazopanib will be given with TAXOL in one part, in another part pazopanib will be given with TAXOL and PARAPLATIN, and in a third part pazopanib will be given with TAXOL and lapatinib (patients separated in each part). Toxicity monitoring will enable us to find the largest dose of pazopanib daily that can be safely given in combination with the chemotherapy agents TAXOL and PARAPLATIN, and with lapatinib, as well as what side effects are likely to manifest when these agents are given together and whether the combination of pazopanib with chemotherapy, helps to treat different types of cancer. Another objective is to find out how much pazopanib, TAXOL, PARAPLATIN and lapatinib are in the blood at specific times after the agents are given. Collecting the blood samples requires that the patients remain in the vicinity of the clinic overnight on 2 occasions.
NCT01524978
This open-label, multi-center study will assess the efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive cancers (solid tumors and multiple myeloma, except melanoma and papillary thyroid cancer) and for whom vemurafenib is deemed the best treatment option in the opinion of the investigator. Participants will receive twice daily oral doses of 960 mg vemurafenib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The safety and efficacy of vemurafenib in combination with cetuximab in a subset of participants with colorectal cancer will also be assessed.
NCT01411410
This open label Phase 1 study involves treating subjects with advanced cancer with BAY80-6946 in combination with paclitaxel. It will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of BAY80-6946 in combination with paclitaxel. The trial will involve multiple participating sites from the US. Following determination of the MTD, an expansion cohort of 20 evaluable subjects with breast cancer was planned. Finally, 16 patients have been enrolled to treatment (Cohort 3). A new expansion cohort with modified dosing cohort is now introduced (Cohort 4: breast cancer expansion cohort with modified dosing) in which another 20 subjects are planned to be enrolled to treatment.
NCT00097682
This study will explore what research patients understand about financial collaborations in the research setting and their concerns about these collaborations. Financial partnerships are crucial to advancing medical research; however, they are giving rise to increasing concerns about financial conflicts of interest and possible impacts on the integrity of research and patient safety. This study will examine patients' views about financial ties between drug companies and the doctors running research studies, as well as ties between the drug companies and the cancer centers where the studies are conducted. Patients 18 years of age and older who are enrolled in cancer studies at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, MD; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA; the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA; the Columbia Comprehensive University Herbert Irving Cancer Center in New York, NY; and the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Denver, CO, may be eligible for this study. Participants are interviewed about the following: * Patients' awareness and understanding about individual and institutional financial conflicts of interest, and how such conflicts, if they exist, are being managed * The impact of a researcher's financial ties on the patient's decision to participate in that researcher's study * The impact of the institution's financial ties on the patient's decision to participate in research at that institution * Attitudes about policies and practices regarding conflicts of interest in the research setting * Attitudes about disclosure of conflicts of interest in the research setting * Patient symptoms and performance * Patient's cancer trial * Patient's cancer history * Patient's trust * Patient demographics (gender, age, race, religion, education, income, health insurance, employment).

NCT00048880
Background: * Some cancers, such as Hodgkin's disease, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and others, have a protein on the surface of the cancer cell called CD30. * HeFi-1 is an antibody that binds to the CD30 protein and sends signals to the cancer cells that can cause them to die. Objectives: * To determine the highest dose of HeFi-1 that can safely be given to patients with tumors that have the CD30 protein. * To determine the response of the tumor to treatment with HeFi-1. Eligibility: * Patients 18 years of age and older with Hodgkin's disease, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, cutaneous T cell lymphoma and adult T cell leukemia or lymphoma who have signs of tumor growth or recurrence following standard treatment * Patients' tumor cells must have the CD30 protein. Design: * Groups of three patients are treated with increasingly higher doses of HeFi-1 (ranging from 0.5 to 5 mg/kg) to determine the highest safe dose. * HeFi-1 is infused through a vein on 4 days, followed by 2 days of rest over a 10-day period. Patients may receive up to 2 treatment courses if they show some response and do not have severe side effects. * Blood samples are collected several times during the study to determine safety. A lymph node biopsy is done at the beginning of the study to test the effect of HeFi-1 on cancer cells in the test tube, and a bone marrow biopsy may be done at the end of treatment if the bone marrow was positive for tumor cells at the beginning of treatment.
NCT02471222
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-arm, parallel group study of ADS-5102 extended release (ER) capsules, an investigational formulation of amantadine, dosed once daily at bedtime for the treatment of walking impairment in MS. ADS-5102 is designed to be administered once daily at bed time, ADS-5102 achieves higher plasma amantadine concentrations in the early morning, sustained throughout the afternoon, and lower concentrations in the evening when patients are sleeping. ADS-5102 is designed to deliver its primary treatment effect during the day, and potentially reduce the adverse events of immediate-release amantadine when the patient is asleep.

Participants will continue the most similar dose and formulation available (which does not exceed the maximum tolerated dose \[MTD\] or the maximum safely administered dose for that formulation during Phase 1) and the same schedule of RO5045337 treatment that they were receiving at the time of transitioning from the parent clinical study protocol.
NCT00650910
This is a two part study looking at the effect of lapatinib on concentrations of digoxin in the blood when both drugs are dosed together in Part 1; and looking at the safety and antitumor effect of lapatinib when used together with possible additional anticancer therapy as chosen at the doctor's discretion.
NCT01231945
Background: \- Low-cost molecular human papillomavirus (HPV) testing may offer a more robust alternative to Pap smears and visual inspection for cervical cancer screening of underserved women. Two low-cost molecular tests for human HPV, the HPV E6 Test and the careHPV test, have been developed to detect cervical cancer by testing for HPV DNA. These tests take between 2 and 3 hours to run and may provide point-of-care (diagnostic testing at or near the site of patient care) testing for HPV. Researchers are interested in evaluating both tests to determine the best strategy for HPV testing of women who live in rural or underserved areas that have a high prevalence of cervical cancer diagnoses. Objectives: * To evaluate the clinical performance of the HPV E6 Test and careHPV in detecting cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. * To evaluate the best low-cost test or combination of tests for women who have been referred for cervical cancer screening or treatment. * To compare the clinical performance of self-collected specimens versus clinician-collected specimens in detecting cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. Eligibility: \- Women between 25 and 65 years of age who live in rural China. Design: * This study involves an initial testing visit and a 1-year followup visit for a high-risk subgroup. * Participants will have the HPV E6 test, careHPV, and a visual inspection test for cervical cancer. For comparison, participants will also have the standard HPV test approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. * Participants who test positive for HPV on any of the above tests will also have colposcopy to collect samples of cervical tissue for further study. * A random sample of women who test negative for HPV will also have colposcopy. Participants may also have biopsies if there is visual evidence of cervical abnormalities. * At the 1-year followup visit, participants in the high-risk subgroup will have the same tests as in the previous visit..
