NCT00282503
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of ECP treatment combined with high dose corticosteroids versus high dose corticosteroids alone, in the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed acute GvHD (Grades II to III) that developed within 100 days following an allo HPCT.
NCT00540722
This phase II trial is studying how well gossypol works in treating patients with progressive or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Gossypol may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01226628
The main purpose of this study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CNTO 2476 administered subretinally (beneath the retina) using the iTrack Model 275 micro catheter in patients with visual acuity (acuteness or clearness of vision) impairment associated with the geographic atrophy (GA: partial or complete wasting away of retinal layer below the retina) manifestation of age-related macular degeneration (AMD: medical condition which usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field \[the macula\] because of damage to the retina).
NCT03038048
We are comparing the patient experience between the standard 30 g needle to the smaller 33 g needle for intravitreal injections of ranabizumab or aflibercept for age related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, or retina vein occlusions.
NCT00437060
This clinical trial is looking at brain function in young patients receiving methotrexate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Learning about the long-term effects of methotrexate on brain function may help doctors plan cancer treatment.
NCT02424578
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to model the single-dose pharmacokinetic profile of diclofenac capsules low dose and high dose in children ages 6 to \<17 years experiencing mild to moderate acute postoperative pain.
NCT02276209
This is a randomized, double blind, multicenter, parallel group, outpatient study evaluating the efficacy and safety of dasotraline in adults with ADHD.
NCT01007435
This randomized, double-blind, parallel group study will assess the safety, disease remission, and prevention of structural joint damage in patients with early moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis treated with tocilizumab as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate, versus methotrexate alone. Patients will be randomized to receive either (A) tocilizumab (8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks) plus placebo, (B) tocilizumab (8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks) plus methotrexate (7.5-20 mg po weekly), (C) tocilizumab (4 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks) plus methotrexate (7.5-20 mg po weekly), or (D) placebo plus methotrexate (7.5-20 mg po weekly). Patients in groups C and D who have not achieved low disease activity at week 52 can receive tocilizumab 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks. Anticipated time on study treatment is 104 weeks.
NCT03213522
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of CST for the treatment of LUTS in patients with MS and evaluate the acute effects compared to PFPT. A. Objectives To examine the effect of CST as compared to PFPT on QOL, SEMG resting biofeedback readings, and PVR ultrasonography measures in patients with MS and LUTS. B. Hypotheses / Research Question(s) It is hypothesized that patients who receive CST will demonstrate improved QOL, bladder control and ability to empty bladder as compared to those who receive PFPT.
NCT00045110
Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of erlotinib in treating patients who have recurrent malignant glioma or recurrent or progressive meningioma. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.
NCT01353677
This is a multi-institution, non-randomized, prospective pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of collecting quality of life (QOL) data on a large cohort of pediatric and adult allogeneic Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) recipients.
NCT01999192
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of three different Tregalizumab doses in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in subjects who have active rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to MTX alone. The overall study duration is 24 weeks followed by a 24 week extension phase.
NCT01922843
The goal of this study is to test a new vitamin D compound for its ability to reduce parathyroid hormone levels in patients who are on hemodialysis.
NCT01467882
The study will investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of triptorelin 22.5 mg 6-month formulation in 44 patients suffering from central precocious puberty. The total study duration per patient will be 12 months (48 weeks).
NCT00792922
Trachoma, an ocular infection caused by C. trachomatis, is the second leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide. Years of repeated infection with C. trachomatis cause the eyelid to scar and contract and ultimately to rotate inward such that the eyelashes rub against the eyeball and abrade the cornea (trichiasis). The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed a multi-faceted strategy to combat trachoma, which includes the use of antibiotic treatment to reduce the community pool of infection with C. trachomatis. The objective of this study is to conduct a randomized, community-based trial in three countries (Niger, Tanzania and The Gambia), representing different baseline endemicities, of alternative coverages and frequencies of administration of mass antibiotic treatment as well as to determine the cost-effectiveness of these different strategies from a program perspective.
NCT00968162
Most bone marrow transplants for children with sickle cell disease are performed using high doses of two chemotherapy agents: busulfan and cyclophosphamide for the pre-transplant conditioning. This approach produces cure in most cases (approximately 95%). It, however, has serious side effects, including seizures and infertility. The primary goal of this study is to determine how much we can lower the dosages of busulfan and cyclophosphamide by incorporating fludarabine, a safer chemotherapy agent, into conditioning. The secondary goal is to develop a better understanding of how bone marrow transplants cause neurologic problems like seizures.
NCT00047294
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and may increase the effectiveness of temozolomide by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining temozolomide, thalidomide, and celecoxib following radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.
NCT02220686
The purpose of the study is to see if vascular physicians (your provider) using a combination of proven smoking cessation tools in an organized way can help vascular patients quit smoking better than usual. The doctors where you are being treated have been chosen to either provide: the combination therapy of giving you advice, considering prescribing medications to help you quit smoking, and referring you to a phone quitline, or to continue their usual smoking cessation practices (which may include all, some, or none of the treatments above).
NCT00354965
Clinical research study to test amoxicillin and clavulanate tablet formulation for use in Acute Bacterial Sinusitis (ABS) in adolescent patients weighing at least 40 kilogram (kg) and no more than 16 years old. ABS is an acute bacterial infection of the sinus. The purpose of this study is to find out how children tolerate Augmentin XR and what happens to Augmentin XR in the body after it has been swallowed by children.
NCT01295346
The purpose of this study is to assess if putative brain injury biomarkers have utility as blood-based traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnostic and monitoring tools. This will be accomplished by examining the relationships between potential serum-based TBI biomarkers and clinical measures of injury severity, occurrence of complications, and outcome, in subjects with mild or moderate TBI. The assay will be evaluated in a sample population of subjects over the age of 18 who have been referred to the health care provider for closed head injury evaluation.
