NCT02315430
This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer that has come back or is growing, spreading, or getting worse. Cabozantinib-s-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth and also by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT03548909
Amino Terminal pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NTproBNP) is secreted in conditions of cardiac wall stress. NTproBNP levels are used in addition to clinical assessment to diagnose heart failure (HF). The purpose of this clinical study is to collect data to substantiate the use of the VITROS NT-proBNP II assay.
NCT02554786
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of QMF149 (QMF149 150/160 µg and QMF149 150/320 µg via Concept1) over two respective MF doses (MF 400 µg and MF 800 µg via Twisthaler® (total daily dose)) in poorly controlled asthmatic participants as determined by pulmonary function testing, and effects on asthma control
NCT00062881
This research study is an investigational treatment with the experimental drug Mafosfamide. This treatment is only for children with cancer that has spread to the meninges (tissues that cover the spinal column and brain) and has continued to grow despite treatment with standard therapy. Mafosfamide is a drug reported to have antitumor effects in animals and that has been given safely into the cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid within and surrounding the brain) in a small number of children and adults. Since there is limited experience in adults and children in giving mafosfamide in this way, the main purpose of this study is to determine the appropriate safe dose of mafosfamide when given intrathecally, that is directly into the cerebrospinal fluid. The purposes for this study are to (a) determine what dose of mafosfamide can be safely given into the cerebrospinal fluid through an Ommaya reservoir (surgically implanted catheters used to sample cerebrospinal fluid and to instill medication into the cerebrospinal fluid) and lumbar puncture (spinal tap) or lumbar reservoir; (b) look for side effects of drug treatment; (c) to study the pharmacology (how the human body handles the drug) when given directly into the spinal fluid; and (d) see if this drug is beneficial to the patient.
NCT00759018
This protocol allows for the treatment of pediatric patients, male and female, between the ages of 2 months and 17 years. Patients must have failed steroid treatment for Grade B-D acute GVHD.
NCT01522989
This study is for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a new combination of drugs, PD-0332991 and 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin for patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies . PD-0332991 stops cells from dividing by blocking an enzyme called cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), which cancer cells need to grow and divide. By inhibiting this enzyme, PD-0332991 prevent cancer cells from growing and dividing, while the 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin damage the cells, hopefully increasing the killing of cancer cells, thus decreasing the tumors in the body. PD-0332991 is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in colorectal cancer. It is given as a pill which is taken once a day for one week followed by one week off. 5-Fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin are administered as an infusion into a vein once every 2 weeks and are approved for and used as chemotherapy for several cancers.
NCT02164721
The purpose of this trial or study is to determine if cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can be a benefit to people who have impaired heart function due to past treatment with chemotherapy and/or chest radiation. The investigators are looking to enroll approximately 30 eligible subjects with heart failure in this trial. All patients enrolled and registered in the study will be implanted with a cardiac resynchronization therapy device that includes an implantable cardiac defibrillator (CRT-D). Clinical histories, physical exams, and external device testing will be collected both at the time of enrollment in the trial and during follow-up study visits. Following implantation of the CRT-D, patients will be contacted by phone at 3 months and will have a scheduled clinic visit follow-up at 6 months.
NCT01400971
The purpose of this study is to identify specific patient, physician, and health system related factors associated with the progression to a more intensive regimen from initial insulin therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes.
NCT00006227
This phase II trial studies the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients who have ovarian stromal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
NCT02261220
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-exploration and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, antitumor activity, PK and immunogenicity of MEDI4736 in combination with tremelimumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors.
NCT02953314
This is a Phase 3, 2-part (Part A and Part B), open label, multicenter study evaluating the pharmacokinetic (PK), safety, and tolerability of multiple doses of tezacaftor (TEZ) in combination with ivacaftor (IVA) in subjects 6 through 11 years of age with CF who are homozygous or heterozygous for the F508del- CF transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) mutation.
NCT00059592
Shingles is an infection commonly seen in children with a weakened immune system (immunocompromised children). The immune system can be weakened as a result of medications that patients receive for cancer or other serious illness or as a result of a bone marrow transplantation. Shingles in children with a weakened immune system may spread throughout the body and in some instances may be life-threatening. Acyclovir is a medication that is routinely used to treat immunocompromised children with shingles in order to prevent further spread of their shingles and to help them heal faster. Acyclovir is also given to bone marrow transplant patients to prevent reactivation of HSV infection. Valacyclovir is a new drug that is metabolized (broken down in the body) to acyclovir. Valacyclovir is given by mouth and studies done in adults have shown it to be more effective than acyclovir given by mouth. The purpose of this study is to * study the pharmacology of this drug (how the body handles this drug), * determine if oral Valacyclovir can be safely given to children with shingles, and * determine the type of side effects that occur when oral Valacyclovir is given to immunocompromised children.
NCT02341664
The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
NCT02110706
The specific primary objective of this study is to determine whether rituximab is a safe and beneficial therapeutic for Myasthenia Gravis (MG) that warrants further study in a phase III efficacy trial.
NCT00792701
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy drugs after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. Sometimes, after surgery, the tumor may not need more treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with cisplatin works in treating patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer that was removed by surgery.
NCT01099800
This interdisciplinary multi-level study moves the research in asthma health disparities from descriptive studies of individual constructs and contexts to testing an integrated, multi-factorial model among Latino families and children with asthma. The investigators seek to gain a more thorough understanding of the interaction of individual characteristics, cultural and experiential factors, social-environmental context, and healthcare system factors on parents' illness representations, use of CAM and controller medications, and children's asthma health outcomes. This will be a one-year longitudinal, multi-site (Phoenix, AZ and Bronx, NY) study among samples of Mexican (N=300) and Puerto Rican (N=300) parents and children aged 5-12 who have asthma. Aim #1: Are there differences in illness representations between Mexican and Puerto Rican parents due to social and contextual factors (i.e., acculturation, education, parental age, poverty, child's illness duration, household members with asthma, and parent-healthcare provider relationship)? Aim #2: Are disparities in asthma control between Mexican and Puerto Rican children due to differences in parents' treatment decisions (CAM and controller medication use) and changes in illness representations over a one year period after controlling for the effects of acculturation, social and contextual factors, environmental triggers, and advice received from others?
NCT01204918
This study aims to examine the antidepressant efficacy of riluzole, employing a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adjunctive trial in treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (TRD).
