NCT01625364
The purpose was to evaluate effectiveness and impact of an academic and counseling asthma health education program (SHARP) for fourth- and fifth-grade students diagnosed with asthma. Students attending schools randomized to the low-dose control condition received Open Airways for Schools (OAS). The first aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of SHARP, compared to the low-dose group, for students on cognitive, psychosocial, and behavioral aspects of asthma management at 1, 12, and 24 months post-intervention. We hypothesized that compared to students enrolled in elementary schools who received the low-dose program, students in elementary schools that received SHARP would increase asthma knowledge (cognition) and logical reasoning abilities for managing acute episodes (cognition), acceptance of asthma as a chronic condition (psychosocial), and use of effective asthma health behaviors (behavior). The second aim was to evaluate the long-term impact of SHARP, compared to the low-dose group, for students on condition characteristics, use of healthcare services, and quality of life at 12 and 24 months post intervention. We hypothesized that compared to students enrolled in elementary schools who received the low-dose program; students in elementary schools who received SHARP would decrease asthma severity, use of healthcare services, and school absenteeism due to asthma, and increase participation in life activities (quality of life).
NCT01818453
The goal of this project is to determine whether genetic information can be used to predict response to an internet-based treatment of depression. Several studies now indicate that completing an internet-based treatment for depression, called Deprexis, can significantly improve symptoms of depression. However, not everyone improves. The purpose of this study is to determine whether genetic profile can predict who is likely to improve.

Primary Objective of the study: * To demonstrate the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by alirocumab as add-on therapy to stable maximally tolerated daily statin therapy with or without other lipid-modifying therapy (LMT) in comparison with placebo after 24 weeks of treatment in high cardiovascular (CV) risk participants with hypercholesterolemia Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab in comparison with placebo on LDL-C at other time points * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on other lipid parameters * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab
NCT00011999
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy following surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage III or stage IV head and neck cancer.
NCT00005087
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel, cisplatin, and filgrastim combined with radiation therapy in treating patients who have locally recurrent head and neck cancer and have received previous treatment with radiation therapy.
NCT00003417
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Computer systems that allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor in order to plan treatment may result in more effective radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy that has been planned with a computer plus chemotherapy in treating patients who have glioblastoma multiforme.
NCT00003139
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs such as pilocarpine may protect normal cells from the side effects of radiation therapy. It is not yet known if pilocarpine may be effective in preventing mucositis and dry mouth in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized, double-blinded, phase III trial to study the effectiveness of pilocarpine in preventing mucositis and dry mouth in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
NCT00003162
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective for bone metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare different radiation therapy regimens in treating patients who have bone metastases from breast or prostate cancer.
NCT01298401
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as ganitumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Specialized radiation therapy, such as 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, that delivers a high-dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ganitumab when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride followed by radiation therapy, ganitumab, capecitabine, and maintenance therapy in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the pancreas.
NCT00879333
