NCT03305562
Pediatric hypertension is increasingly common and is a precursor for adult cardiovascular and renal disease. But even during childhood, hypertension is associated with significant morbidity, including cognitive impairment and organ damage. However, the cause of pediatric hypertension, the response to treatment, and the mechanisms behind organ damage are incompletely understood. Due to these limitations, there are no first-line medications, and treatment is often inadequate. An improved comprehension of the course of pediatric hypertension could enhance clinical care. The goal of this proposal is to create a registry of patients with hypertension to better enable research into this important disease. This patient registry will enhance the investigators ability to quickly collect and analyze data for research studies.
NCT00632853
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, carboplatin and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective when given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. This randomized phase III trial is comparing different chest radiation therapy regimens to see how well they work in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer.
