NCT01375842
This Phase I, multicenter, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) administered as single agent to participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancies or hematologic malignancies. The study will be conducted in two cohorts: Dose-escalation cohort and Expansion cohort.
NCT01614795
This phase II trial studies how well cixutumumab and temsirolimus work in treating patients with recurrent or refractory sarcoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, 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 tumor-killing substances to them. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cixutumumab and temsirolimus together may kill more tumor cells.
NCT00100828
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well irinotecan works in treating patients with metastatic or inoperable thyroid cancer.
NCT01106833
This study is designed as a combined Phase II/III, randomized, open label, multicenter, prospective comparative study of sirolimus plus prednisone versus sirolimus/calcineurin-inhibitor plus prednisone for the treatment of chronic GVHD. Patients will be stratified by transplant center and will be randomized to an experimental arm of one of the two pre-specified experimental arms (sirolimus + prednisone or the comparator arm of sirolimus + calcineurin inhibitor + prednisone) in a 1:1 ratio.
NCT01824693
This randomized phase II trial studies how well giving busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and melphalan or busulfan and fludarabine phosphate before donor hematopoietic cell transplant works in treating younger patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Giving chemotherapy before a donor hematopoietic transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is not yet known whether giving busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and melphalan or busulfan and fludarabine phosphate before a donor stem cell transplant is more effective in treating juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.
NCT01520363
Dr. Sakkubai Naidu, Principal Investigator, is initiating a double blinded placebo controlled clinical drug trial using dextromethorphan (DM) in Rett Syndrome (RTT), at the Pediatric Clinical Research Unit (PCRU) of the Johns Hopkins Hospital/Kennedy Krieger Institute. Funding source , FDA-00PD It has been shown that receptors for a certain brain chemical called glutamate, in particular the NMDA type, are increased in the brain of young RTT patients (\<10 years of age). This chemical and its receptors, when in excess, cause harmful over-stimulation of nerve cells in the brain, contributing in part to the seizures, behavioral problems, and learning disabilities in RTT. The investigators propose to initiate a specific treatment using DM to counter/block the effects of this brain chemical and its excessive receptors to improve the ill effects of increased glutamate/NMDA receptors, because of DM's identified ability to block NMDA receptors. DM is available for human consumption. Infants and children with respiratory infections and cough, as well as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, are treated with DM, which has been well tolerated.
NCT02374060
To evaluate the relative efficacy of three commonly utilized regional corticosteroids for the regional treatment of uveitic macular edema: periocular triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide; intravitreal dexamethasone implant. The primary efficacy measure will be percent change in central subfield thickness as measured by OCT at 8 weeks. Participants will continue in the study for 24 weeks in order to evaluate relative effects of the 3 treatment strategies on the duration of treatment effects, requirement for additional injections, and adverse effects. Note: The planned sample size for the POINT Trial was 267 subjects. On 17 July 2017, with 192 subjects enrolled, the Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) reviewed the planned interim analysis and recommended that the goals of the trial could be accomplished by completing follow-up of enrolled subjects without the recruitment of additional subjects. Per the DSMC recommendations, recruitment was suspended and follow-up of enrolled subjects was completed according to the protocol.

NCT02785900
The purpose of this study in AML patients is to test whether vadastuximab talirine (SGN-CD33A; 33A) combined with either azacitidine or decitabine improves remission rates and extends overall survival as compared to placebo combined with either azacitidine or decitabine.
NCT01281956
Background: \- The brain chemical serotonin helps nerve cells communicate. Previous research suggests that serotonin activity may be lower in brain areas where seizures start, and that increasing activity at the serotonin receptor site on nerve cells may help prevent seizures. Researchers are interested in determining whether the experimental medication PRX-00023, which increases the activity of serotonin receptors, can reduce seizure frequency in people whose seizures are not well-controlled on antiseizure medication. PRX-00023 has not previously been studied in people with epilepsy and has not previously been given to people taking antiseizure medication at the same time. Objectives: \- To evaluate the effectiveness of PRX-00023 in reducing the frequency of epileptic seizures that start from only one part of the brain. Eligibility: \- Individuals between 18 and 65 years of age who have frequent epileptic seizures even after trying at least two different standard anti-seizure medications (either at the same time or one after the other). Design: * The study requires 9 outpatient visits to the NIH Clinical Center over a 34-week period. Individuals who choose to participate in additional studies may be an inpatient during some of these visits. * Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical examination, blood and urine samples, ECG, EEG, neuropsychological studies, imaging studies, including PET and MRI scans * Participants will have a 6-week observation and evaluation period before starting the study medication. Participants who have at least four seizures during this period will be eligible for the treatment portion of the study. * All participants will receive either PRX-00023 or a placebo pill twice daily for 12 weeks, and will have regular clinic visits with blood samples and imaging studies. * After the 12-week period, participants will have a 2- to 3-week washout period without any study medication. * Participants will then have another study medication period, and will receive the opposite pill (PRX-00023 or placebo) from the one taken in the first treatment phase. Participants will continue to have regular clinic visits with blood samples, ECG, EEG and neuropsychologicalstudies. * One month after the end of the second study medication phase, participants will have a followup evaluation with a physical examination, blood tests, ECG, EEG, mood and neuropsychological tests. Outcome measures: The primary outcome measure for drug efficacy will be: Mean difference in seizure frequency comparing the active and placebo periods. Secondary outcome measures for efficacy will be: Proportion of patients with greater than or equal to 50% lower seizure rate on PRX-00023 than placebo Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Rating scales Performance on mood and neuropsychological testing scales
NCT00132327
This study will analyze cells from erythema migrans lesions, the "bull's eye" rash of Lyme disease. Little is known about what happens in the skin when it is infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. This study will examine and compare laboratory findings in skin biopsies from people with Lyme disease and from healthy normal volunteers to try to better understand the infection. Healthy volunteers and people with untreated erythema migrans rash who are 18 years of age or older may be eligible for this study. All participants undergo a clinical examination, blood tests, between two to four skin biopsies (removal of a small piece of tissue for laboratory examination), and complete two health questionnaires. The biopsies are taken from the erythema migrans lesion in patients with Lyme disease and from skin on the legs, forearms, buttocks, or side from healthy volunteers. To collect the tissue, the skin at the biopsy site is numbed with injection of a local anesthetic and a sharp instrument is then used to remove a round plug of skin about the size of a pencil eraser. The wound may be closed with one or two sutures, or allowed to heal without sutures. The sutures are removed after a week to 10 days. Patients with Lyme disease receive treatment for their condition. In addition, at the time the sutures are removed and at 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after their first visit they fill out a questionnaire and have additional blood tests.
