NCT00085098
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy alone is as effective as chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating germ cell tumor. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy alone to see how well it works compared to chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed primary CNS germ cell tumor.
NCT03279133
The prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection was reported to range between 10% and up to 30% prior to institution of routine HCV screening in recipients of HCT (hematopoietic cell transplantation). In an Italian prospective study 6% of HCT candidates were positive for HCV RNA. HCV in recipients of HCT carries both short-term and long-term consequences. In the short-term those with HCV after hematopoietic cell transplantation have been associated with risk for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome especially in patients with some level of hepatic dysfunction going in to the transplant. In addition, the type of conditioning chemotherapy (e.g., busulfan) and radiation may increase risk for sinusoidal obstruction syndrome. The rate of hematopoietic recovery was found to be lower in HCV infected recipients, with delayed neutrophil and platelet engraftment. In the long-term, HCV may flare up once immunosuppression is being tapered off. The issue of reactivation of viral hepatitis (HBV and HCV) after HCT has been well documented. The risk for HCV reactivation in allogenic HCT in one study was reported at 100% by 12 months after HCT, with risk for death related to HCV of 8%. Also, of concern is rapid progression of liver disease in long-term survivors of HCV+ HCT. In such patients, cumulative incidence of cirrhosis has been reported in up to 11% and 24% at 15 and 20 years after HCT respectively. Hepatitis C infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, due to the short-term and long-term complications associated with it. Treatment of hepatitis C virus with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents pre-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in candidates with hepatitis C may lead to reduction of both short-term and long-term complications from it. Treatment with DAA's pre-HCT in candidates with hepatitis C would potentially prevent complications of hepatitis C infection; prevent reactivation of hepatitis C post-HCT, prevent delay in hematopoietic recovery (especially neutrophils and platelet), possibly reduce risk for sinsusoidal obstruction syndrome, prevent relapse of malignancy that could be related to hepatitis C (non-Hodgkin lymphoma), reduce non-relapse mortality and long-term complications (cirrhosis).
NCT00467051
This phase II trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with recurrent or resistant malignant germ cell tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and carboplatin, 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.
NCT00058123
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as poly-ICLC use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how poly-ICLC works in treating patients with recurrent, progressive, or relapsed anaplastic glioma.
NCT01907802
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dabrafenib in treating patients with solid tumors and kidney or liver dysfunction. Dabrafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT02910921
This trial is collaboration between Mayo Clinic, Second Opinion Health (Simon Bloch, simon@somobilehealth.com 408-981-3814) and Allergan. Mayo Clinic investigators are conducting the clinical trial, Second Opinion Health is providing the software for use in the trial (Migraine Alert app for data collection, analysis and machine learning algorithms), and Allergan is providing funding. The investigators hypothesize that the use of a mobile phone app and Fitbit wearable to collect daily headache diary data, exposure/trigger data and physiologic data will predict the occurrence of migraine attacks with high accuracy. The objective of the trial is to assess the ability to use daily exposure/trigger and symptom data, as well as physiologic data (collected by Fitbit) to create individual predictive migraine models to accurately predict migraine attacks in individual patients via a mobile phone app.
NCT02254408
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of presatovir on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) viral load in autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients with an acute RSV upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), the effect of presatovir on development of lower respiratory tract complication, being free of any supplemental oxygen progression to respiratory failure, and pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of presatovir.
NCT00717236
This is a Phase IIIb multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of certolizumab pegol (CZP) administered to patients with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis.
NCT00993668
The purpose of this trial is to assess the affect of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) treatment on antibody response to T cell-independent and T cell-dependent immunizations using pneumococcal and influenza vaccines, respectively.
NCT00753454
The purpose of this study is to continue to assess the safety of certolizumab pegol in combination with methotrexate (MTX).
NCT01255761
Phase 4 study to evaluate a routine patient completed assessment (RAPID3) compared to a physician completed assessment (CDAI) to predict treatment success with subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis
NCT01500278
This study is conducted to evaluate the short (12 Weeks) and long term (104 Weeks) efficacy of Certolizumab Pegol compared with Adalimumab both in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that is not responding adequately to MTX.
NCT01674569
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary biologic activity/efficacy of X-82 in patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by change from baseline in visual acuity, fluorescein leakage, retinal thickness and fibrosis, if detectable, based on fundus examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
NCT01901185
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) to use an experimental autoinjector to self inject etanercept (Enbrel®).
NCT00070109
This phase II trial is studying how well trabectedin works in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory soft tissue sarcoma or Ewing's family of tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as trabectedin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

NCT00782626
The purpose of this research study is to learn if the study drug RAD001 can shrink or slow the growth of low-grade gliomas. Additionally, the safety of RAD001 will be studied. RAD001 is a drug that may act directly on tumor cells by inhibiting tumor cell growth and proliferation.
NCT03026322
Complications are common during endotracheal intubation of critically ill adults. Manual ventilation between induction and intubation ("bag-valve-mask" ventilation) has been proposed as a means of preventing hypoxemia, the most common complication of intubation outside the operating room. Safety and efficacy data, however, are lacking. PreVent is a randomized trial comparing manual ventilation between induction and laryngoscopy to no manual ventilation between induction an laryngoscopy during endotracheal intubation of critically ill adults. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the lowest arterial oxygen saturation. The primary safety endpoints will be the lowest oxygen saturation, highest fraction of inspired oxygen, and highest positive end-expiratory pressure in the 24 hours after the procedure.
NCT01253447
This phase II trial is studying how well AKT inhibitor MK-2206 works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AKT inhibitor MK-2206 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
