NCT01110720
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of davunetide for the treatment of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.
NCT01419314
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY? The investigators want to know if wearing a pair of splints at night works to bring the pain down and help you sleep better (in people living with HIV/AIDS related neuropathy). HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL PARTICIPATE? About 58 to 88 people will take part in this study at the Harris County Hospital District (HCHD). WHAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THIS STUDY? As a participant, you will be assigned to one of two treatment groups. In one group, you will be asked to wear leg splints at night and the other you will wear the liners of the splints only. You will be asked to answer questions about how well you sleep, how long you sleep, and about your discomfort at the legs. The researcher will be there to help, but the investigators want you to answer the questions on your own if you can. You will be asked to reach forwards standing next to a wall and to walk for 6 minutes after that. The tests will de done in random order. The sessions will be done at the beginning, at week three and week six. You should finish all of the testing and questionnaires in an hour or less, for a total of three hours over six weeks in the investigators clinic. You will receive instructions on how to use the splints with liners or the liners alone at home. You will be asked to wear them at night only for the next 6 weeks. Finally, the principal investigator will contact you weekly by phone, to discuss issues of comfort and your ability to adhere to the instructions provided.
NCT01013480
Study 22001, "A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Flexible-Dose Evaluation of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of STX209 in the Treatment of Irritability in Subjects with Fragile X Syndrome" currently is evaluating the efficacy of STX209 (R-baclofen) for management of typical problem behaviors, such as irritability and aggression, in subjects with FXS. This study (22002) will enter subjects who complete Study 22001 into a long-term, open-label study.The open-label extension protocol will provide necessary data on the long-term safety and tolerability of STX209 among subjects with FXS who receive treatment under conditions more closely reflective of their general medical care.
NCT00293657
To determine whether a single dose of intravenous lornoxicam is superior to intravenous placebo for the acute treatment of moderate or severe headache associated with a single migraine attack in patients with a history of migraine. Two-thirds of patients in this study will receive a single dose of intravenous lornoxicam (8mg or 16 mg) and one-third of patients will receive a single dose of an intravenous placebo.
NCT01281631
This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of NP001 in subjects with ALS.
NCT00542685
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD 0332334 for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
NCT00205855
There are many treatment options available for the management of chronic pain . Some include, but are not limited to, over-the-counter medications, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, Physical Therapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and nerve blocks. Historically, the mainstay of pain treatment has been pharmacotherapy. However, pharmacotherapy has varying degrees of effectiveness and is often associated with undesirable side effects. Although many patients are successfully treated, for those who fail some of these more conservative therapies the remaining option is limited to spinal cord stimulation (SCS), proven to be an effective therapy to more than half of those failing conservative treatments . Over 50% of those who have failed these more conservative methods of pain management, can now, under the guidance of a clinician utilizing SCS, have their pain levels successfully managed. SCS is a less invasive therapy that is a reversible treatment with greater long-term benefits than more permanent, radical approaches and one that deserves greater consideration in the management of chronic, intractable pain.
NCT00014144
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of cancer of the urinary tract. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the urinary tract.
NCT00003293
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether SU-101 is more effective than procarbazine in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of SU-101 with that of procarbazine in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme that has recurred.
NCT00300274
This trial was to examine the impact of everolimus and reduced dose of cyclosporine on efficacy and safety compared to mycophenolate mofetil and a standard dose of cyclosporine in heart transplant recipients.
NCT00501228
Primary Objective: 1\. To determine whether rhG-CSF treatment will increase the frequency of donor-derived cells contributing to repair of damaged epithelial/endothelial or solid organ-specific tissue caused by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients who underwent sex-mismatched stem cell transplantation. Secondary Objective: 1\. To determine whether rhG-CSF treatment can alleviate GVHD-induced damage to epithelial/endothelial or solid organ-specific tissue.
NCT00477503
* Primary Objective will be to evaluate the use of Ga-67 citrate as an alternative radiopharmaceutical for CSF imaging. * Secondary Objective will be to evaluate the biodistribution, pharmacokinetics and radiation dosimetry of In 111 DTPA and gallium-67 after intrathecal injection during remission of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) and during LM occurrence, remission and recurrence.
NCT00366834
This is a Phase III trial designed to demonstrate that casopitant (GW679769) plus dexamethasone and ondansetron is more effective in the prevention of vomiting than dexamethasone and ondansetron alone following the administration of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.
NCT00892957

NCT00003712
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of CCI-779 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.
