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.
NCT02997241
The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between change of gene copies and recurrence，and the overall survival at 5 years after chemotherapy based on clinical prognosis compared to Oncocare detection prognosis.
NCT00104975
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells that have been treated in the laboratory after the transplant may help increase this effect. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving tacrolimus before and after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor lymphocytes when given after alemtuzumab and combination chemotherapy in treating patients who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer.
NCT02035514
Immunomodulatory therapies to treat the relapsing-remitting phase of multiple sclerosis (MS) are designed to ameliorate the inflammatory processes that mediate the damage to the central nervous system (CNS) and to delay progression of the disease. To date, there is no effective means to stop the progression of disease and induce remyelination. Adult stem cells therapy show great promise and is rapidly developing as alternative therapeutic strategy. We propose the use of bone marrow-derived autologous Mesenchymal (BM-MSC) Stem Cells transplantation to treat patients with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), despite immunomodulatory therapy. Taking advantage of the potential that MSC possess strong immunomodulatory properties thought to play a role in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance and in the control of autoimmunity and that may stimulate repair and regeneration of lesions, we plan a trial of a single injection of autologous BM-MSC into eight patients. First, we aim to assess the feasibility, safety and tolerability of autologous MSC therapy in RRMS. Second, we plan to evaluate the effects of BM-MSC transplantation on MS disease activity by clinical, neurophysiological, immunological and imaging assessments. Autologous MSC will be obtained from bone marrow aspirates, purified by culture and characterized by surface antigen expression. A single dose of autologous BM-MSC will be injected intravenously. Clinical, neurological and immunological assessments will be scheduled at baseline (before BM-MSC transplantation) at 1, 3, and 6 months after transplant. The imaging will be performed at 3 and 6 months after transplant. Proposed trial will enable us to ascertain whether autologous BM-MSC transplantation is a feasible and safe procedure, and whether BM-MSC can establish an environment of immune tolerance and through the local production of neurotrophic/growth factors, might induce neuroprotection and improvement in CNS function.
NCT02488746
Prospective observational trial. A full thickness resection of gastric subepithelial tumors is performed after application of full thickness sutures underneath the tumor with the GERDX(TM) device. Hypothesis: This endoscopic method is feasible, effective and safe.
NCT02985255
Patients enrolled for the study, who are eligible for NACT, will undergo a pre-treatment workup comprising of Evaluation Under Anesthesia (EUA) for tumor Mapping and tissue biopsy along with a PET-CT scan. Subsequently, they would undergo 3 cycles of NACT (weekly thrice) with DCF. They would be reassessed with PET-CT and EUA +/- biopsy after the end of the third cycle. Those who are achieving CR would undergo adjuvant CTRT. Subjects who have a PR in the PET-CT scan will be re-classified based on the biopsy report. If they remain in the PR group they will undergo surgery but if the biopsy in is negative for malignancy, they will undergo adjuvant CTRT. Those subjects with SD or PD would undergo surgery. Subsequently, further radiation and/ or chemotherapy will be decided based on the final histopathology (of the surgical specimen) reports. PET-CT and EUA +/- HPE analyses would be repeated on follow-up after 3 months of treatment completion.
NCT00555503
This is a registry for patients who have a risk-reduction mastectomy ("prophylactic mastectomy") due to being at high risk for developing breast cancer, followed by breast reconstruction. Eligible patients include those who have a breast cancer-related gene, a strong family history of breast cancer, or a personal history of high-risk conditions such as cancer in the other breast or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Patients are enrolled in the registry before surgery, and are followed for up to ten years afterwards. In addition to studying medical outcomes, we will periodically survey patients for quality-of-life issues and psychological well-being. There is no compensation for being enrolled in this registry. This registry is conducted through the Department of Plastic Surgery at Georgetown University Hospital, and is a sub-registry to the Fisher Familial Cancer Registry at the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University.
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.
NCT01285401
The drug being tested is called VigantOL® oil - a very effective form of Vitamin D hormone supplement (cholecalciferol). Low levels of Vitamin D have been described to be associated with a higher risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and it is known that up to 90% of patients with Multiple Sclerosis have Vitamin D deficiency. Rebif® is known to be an effective treatment for slowing down the progression of MS. The purpose of this research trial is to evaluate if VigantOL® oil on top of Rebif® has any benefit on the progression of MS compared to Rebif® and placebo. Disease activity will be assessed by clinical examination and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The planned study treatment duration for each study participant is 48 weeks, and the study consists of a total of 8 visits. Study participants who are already passed Week 48 at the time of approval of Protocol Amendment 5 will have a study duration of 96 weeks and a total of 12 visits. During the study, the participant will undergo physical examination, neurological assessments, safety assessments, blood tests and urinalysis (including pregnancy tests).
NCT00524303

NCT02081495
The purpose of this study is to support the qualification of a replacement manufacturing site for DOXIL/CAELYX.
NCT00111592
Ageing and the availability of medication has led to an increase of elderly male patients being treated for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), or voiding problems ("prostate problems"). However, guidelines are vague as to which patients should and which should not be treated, and how. Although several treatment modalities have proven efficacy in selected populations, it is unclear how effective these treatments are in daily practice. This study investigates the hypothesis that a treatment protocol in which clear indications are formulated for all treatment modalities is more effective, as compared to current usual primary care, in reducing both symptoms as related to the quality of voiding in elderly males.
