NCT00608361
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dasatinib in treating patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that are metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01093222
This phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib tosylate together with erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic gallbladder cancer or cholangiocarcinoma. Sorafenib tosylate and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
NCT00073021
This study is a prospective clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different doses of Asacol for the treatment of moderately active ulcerative colitis. In addition, a new tablet formulation will be evaluated at one of the two doses.
NCT01299961
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease (a long-lasting disease causing pain and swelling) associated with significant health problems. It is a difficult disease to manage as the disease is often unpredictable. RA causes inflammation (swelling) of the joints that can cause joint damage, deformity, and progressive disability and impairment. It is estimated that 1% of the world's population suffers from this disease. The purpose of this research study is to determine if a change in inflammation seen on the ultrasound is a good indicator of how subjects' rheumatoid arthritis is responding to treatment of subcutaneous abatacept at 3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.
NCT00389181
The purpose of this study is to determine if medical management is better than invasive therapy for improving the long-term outcome of patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations.
NCT01532336
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy and safety of NVC-422 compared to vehicle for adenoviral conjunctivitis. Adults and children one year of age and older with diagnosis of adenoviral conjunctivitis in at least one eye based upon a positive adenovirus test result using the Aden-Detactor Plus kit (Rapid Pathogen Screening, Inc). Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either NVC-422 or Vehicle.
NCT01715467
This observational study will prospectively collect data on treatment options, patient/investigator satisfaction, requirement for retreatment or additional treatment, and long-term outcomes of 3 treatment modalities(XIAFLEX, fasciectomy, or fasciotomy/needle aponeurotomy) in patients with Dupuytren's contracture. In addition, this study will provide additional health economics and utilization data.
NCT00603265
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ADL5859 in relieving the pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared with placebo and duloxetine (a marketed drug approved for the treatment of painful DPN). The pain symptoms of DPN are thought to be due to damage to nerves caused by the diabetes.
NCT01082926
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as cellular adoptive immunotherapy, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Donor T cells that are treated in the laboratory may be effective treatment for malignant glioma. Aldesleukin may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Combining different types of biological therapies may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best way to give therapeutic donor lymphocytes together with aldesleukin in treating patients with stage III or stage IV malignant glioma.
NCT00927641
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the multiple-dose efficacy and safety of HKT-500 for the treatment of ankle sprain.
NCT02074163
Botox acts on nerve endings, yet there are no nerve endings inside the muscle, where they are typically injected. All nerves terminate on the fascia, where ASIS device can precisely deliver Botox by creating that subdermal bloodless space, between the skin and muscle. Thus enhancing and prolonging Botox's efficacy, at the same time prevent it's unnecessary adverse reactions and distant spread, especially since Botox has no reason to travel to the rest of the body any way.
NCT02074293
NCT01605942
This is a safety and efficacy study of a Dexamethasone Drug Delivery System for anterior segment inflammation and pain following cataract extraction with lens implantation.
NCT00947882
A dose-finding, multi-centre, double-blind, randomised, parallel, placebo-controlled trial to investigate efficacy and safety of degarelix in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
NCT00466791
Evaluate the behavioral effects of MTS in children aged 6-12 with ADHD
NCT01678963
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical ophthalmic squalamine lactate eye drops in treating patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), a degenerative retinal eye disease that causes a progressive, irreversible, severe loss of central vision.
NCT00005774
Mechanical ventilation (MV) of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is associated with lung injury and nosocomial infection. Moderately premature infants with mild respiratory distress do not routinely receive artificial surfactant early in their course of treatment. This multi-center, randomized trial tested whether early surfactant therapy and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in infants 1,250-2,000g with RDS reduced mechanical ventilation usage without added complications. Infants with mild to moderate respiratory distress syndrome were enrolled in the trial and given either early administration of surfactant followed by extubation within 30 minutes and the use of CPAP, or standard practice (surfactant according to current center practice, only after initiation of mechanical ventilation), to see whether the experimental method would reduce the need for subsequent mechanical ventilation.
NCT00938860
This study will assess the rates of Sustained Virological Response following anti-viral therapy with Peg-Interferon plus Ribavirin in patients that have been liver transplanted with recurrent Hepatitis C and treated with Neoral or tacrolimus.
NCT01303575
This study will evaluate the effect of an American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adaptation of the It's Your Game…Keep It Real (IYG) intervention, relative to a comparison condition on sexual behavior outcomes and psychosocial variables for middle school aged youth (12 - 14 years old). The original IYG program was designed for students in Houston middle schools to help students delay sexual initiation and if sexually active, use condoms and contraception. The present study will adapt the existing IYG program for an AI/AN youth cohort; the original IYG curriculum will be transferred into a web-based format and modified to incorporate additional culturally-relevant components. The primary hypothesis to be tested is: (1) students who receive the web-based curriculum will delay sexual activity relative to those who receive standard care. The major dependent variable is the proportion of students initiating sexual activity. Secondary hypotheses will examine the effect of the web-based curriculum on specific types of sex and psychosocial variables related to sexual risk-taking behavior. This project will also examine the effect of the intervention on the proportion of students who are sexually active, number of times students engage in unprotected sexual intercourse, and students' number of sexual partners.
NCT00991341
The RECESS study will compare the effects of transfusing red blood cell units stored \<= 10 days vs. red blood cell units stored \>= 21 days, in patients who are undergoing complex cardiac surgery and are likely to need a red blood cell transfusion. The primary hypothesis is that there is a clinically important difference between the effects of shorter-storage red cell units and longer-storage red cell units on clinical outcomes and mortality risk.
