NCT00066469
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide, prednisone, and methylprednisolone use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining cyclophosphamide and either prednisone or methylprednisolone with rituximab may be effective in treating lymphoproliferative disease following organ transplantation. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cyclophosphamide and either prednisone or methylprednisolone with rituximab in treating patients who have Epstein-Barr virus-positive lymphoproliferative disease following organ transplantation.
NCT00116558

NCT01212237
Normal tissue response is critical for brain radiotherapy, especially for dose escalation which carries with it an increased incidence of radiation-induced brain injury. Although radiation toxicity and limiting dose for anatomically critical structures of the brain have been well studied and documented, little is known for functionally critical brain regions and treatment of cognitive sequelae of cranial radiotherapy is limited. The objective of this clinical protocol is to accumulate preliminary data for future studies aiming to quantify dose response for functionally critical brain regions for brain radiotherapy. We plan to achieve this objective by correlating the radiation-induced complications and radiological changes with the radiation dose to the selected functionally critical brain regions for 25 patients. Each participating patient will receive brain fMRI to identify brain regions for processing visual, working memory and language functions. The image co-registration algorithm developed previously by our group will be used to co-register these regions on the CT scans for radiotherapy treatment planning for radiation dose calculation. Radiation-induced changes in cognitive functions will be evaluated using the modified mini mental status exam (3MS) and fMRI during the routine follow-up. The knowledge derived from this study might significantly improve the quality of life and allow safer dose escalation for patients receiving brain radiotherapy.
NCT01737398
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inotersen given for 65 weeks in participants with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP).
NCT01754038
This registry will perform prospective surveillance of participants attending collaborating Integrative Medicine clinic sites for clinical services. All decisions about medication use, treatments, visit frequency, assessment of tolerance, and other aspects of patient management will be left to the clinical providers' discretion. We will attempt to follow the participants in the PRIMIER Registry for up to 2 years. Essential data elements that capture patient-reported outcomes and measures of clinical activity will be obtained at approximately 2-month intervals for the first 6 months, then every 6 months through the end of year 2.
NCT02387359

NCT02488044
A Phase 1/2 Open-label Study in Patients with Arginase I Deficiency to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Intravenous AEB1102. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IV administration of AEB1102 for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with Arginase I deficiency and hyperargininemia. This study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part 1 (Single Ascending Dose Escalation) and Part 2 (Repeated Dosing). Each part will be preceded by a baseline assessment of arginine levels. All patients who participate in Part 1 may continue AEB1102 dosing in Part 2 if they qualify for continued dosing. A data safety monitoring board (DSMB) will provide independent review of study safety data and recommend whether the sponsor should continue the study as planned, modify the study protocol, or discontinue the study.
NCT02768467
Prior studies have been performed to understand the optimal way to minimize the morbidity rate of buccal mucosa. While some studies have reported primary closure to be inferior to healing by secondary intention, this appears to be true for large defects greater than 2 cm in width. For small defects for which the wound can be closed without tension, the most recent study has shown improved pain outcomes in the immediate post-operative setting, although no difference is seen long term whether or not the wound was primarily closed. However, for larger defects, standard practice is to allow delayed healing by secondary intention. The use of Alloderm graft placement for donor site coverage was first described in Armenakas' group. Alloderm is an acellular dermal lattice from human allograft skin. The only study to report the use of Alloderm failed to find a significant improvement in patient outcomes; however, very small defects were included in this study and the control group underwent primary closure, which has been shown to be inferior for large defects. Importantly, no increase in post-operative pain was noted, although there was some increased swelling reported. From experience, patients with moderate and large (\>2 cm width) defects following buccal mucosa harvest benefit from Alloderm placement with decreased post-operative pain, more rapid resumption of normal diet and mouth function with no associated increase in morbidity of the procedure. This study aims to determine whether this is a reliable improvement in technique. This study will clarify how the cheek heals after the buccal mucosa is removed during reconstructive surgery. Subjects will be randomized to either receive tissue collagen matrix or no stitches after the surgery. Subjects will be evaluated up to six months to determine if the outcomes of the tissue matrix graft are better for the subject.
NCT02677623
Many gynecologic, urologic and pelvic reconstructive surgeries require accurate ways to identify the opening of the ureters to ensure that they are working correctly. Historically, indigo carmine, an intravenous medication that dyes the urine blue, has been used to help visualize the opening of the ureters with cystoscopy which is a camera placed inside the bladder. In June 2014, the FDA announced there was current shortage of indigo carmine. Thus, investigators need to evaluate other methods for assessing ureteral patency. Ideal alternatives are agents that are low-risk, inexpensive, provide comparable visualization, are readily available and are easy to use. Examples of such agents currently being used to evaluate the ureters, include oral pyridium, IV sodium fluorescein, and mannitol. These agents help identify the opening of the ureters by either dyeing the urine a different color such as pyridium and sodium fluorescein, or by having a different viscosity to urine such as mannitol. This study will compare three methods of evaluating ureteral patency at time of cystoscopy compared to no method: mannitol, sodium fluorescein, and pyridium.
