NCT00535782
This 2 arm study will investigate the effects of tocilizumab on lipids, arterial stiffness, and markers of atherogenic risk in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either tocilizumab 8mg/kg intravenously or placebo every 4 weeks, in combination with methotrexate 7.5-25 mg weekly. In Part 2, all patients will receive open-label treatment with tocilizumab plus methotrexate.
NCT00089778
This study will evaluate the safety and side effects of two experimental vaccines in patients with kidney cancer and determine whether the vaccines "turn on" an immune response to the cancer. Each vaccine contains one of two peptides (pieces of proteins) from the fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF-5) antigen, a protein produced by some cancer cells, and an oil-based liquid called Incomplete Freud's Adjuvant (Montanide ISA-51) that enhances the immune response to the vaccine. Patients 16 years of age and older who have kidney cancer that has spread beyond the kidney or whose primary kidney tumor has been removed within 6 months before entering the study and are at high risk for disease recurrence may be eligible for this study. Patients must have tissue type human leukocyte antigen serotype within HLA-A A serotype group (HLA-A2) or human leukocyte antigen serotype within HLA-A A serotype group (HLA-A3) (determined by a blood test for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing) and their tumors must produce the FGF-5 peptide. Candidates are screened with a physical examination, blood and urine tests, electrocardiogram (EKG), tumor biopsy (removal of a small sample of tumor for examination) in patients whose tumor is easily accessible, and scans (computed tomography (CT), bone scans) and x-rays if current scans are not available. Participants are divided into two groups according to their HLA type (HLA-A2 or HLA-A3) to receive the vaccine appropriate for their HLA type. They are then further divided into three groups: 1) Group 1 includes patients who do not need or are ineligible for treatment with interleukin-2 (IL-2), a protein made by certain infection-fighting white cells that helps fight tumors) and patients who have previously had IL-2 therapy; 2) Group 2 includes patients who require immediate treatment with IL-2; and 3) Group 3 includes patients whose cancer has been surgically removed but who are at risk for recurrence. Patients in Groups 1 and 3 receive two peptide injections four times a week every 3 weeks for up to a year, or until their tumor grows (or returns in patients in Group 3) or the side effects are too severe to continue. Tumors are evaluated with a physical examination and scans or x-rays every 12 weeks and blood tests are done every 3 weeks. Patients in Group 2 receive two peptide injections every day for 4 days, along with doses of IL-2 starting the day after the first peptide injection. The vaccines are given as injections under the skin of the thigh. IL-2 is infused through a vein over 15 minutes every 8 hours for up to 12 doses, depending on tolerance. The vaccine and IL-2 are repeated every 10 to 14 days, with tumor evaluations every 2 months. Patients stay in the hospital about 1 week during each treatment cycle to receive the IL-2. All patients undergo leukapheresis, a procedure for collecting large numbers of white blood cells. Blood is collected through a needle in an arm vein and flows through a cell separator machine, where the white cells are extracted. The rest of the blood is returned to the patient through the same needle or a needle in the other arm. The white cells are examined to evaluate how the vaccines change the action of immune cells. Some patients may undergo an additional biopsy of normal skin and tumor or lymph node to look at the effects of the vaccine on the immune cells in the tumor. Patients in Group 1 whose cancer grows and patients in Group C whose cancer returns may be offered IL-2 treatments as given to Group 2 patients, along with the peptide vaccine. If the disease responds to IL-2, the treatment may be repeated after 2 months.
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).
NCT01764997
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the treatment effect of sarilumab and methotrexate (MTX) compared to etanercept and MTX in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an inadequate response to adalimumab and MTX by evaluation of the Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS28). Secondary Objectives: To assess the signs and symptoms of RA in participants taking sarilumab in combination with MTX. To assess the quality of life of participants with RA taking sarilumab in combination with MTX. To assess the safety and tolerability of sarilumab in combination with MTX in participants with RA.
NCT03100799
This is an exploratory non-drug, interventional biomarker study in approximately 30 eligible patients with active osteoarthritis to investigate the degree of senescence-associated disease. Patients will provide blood and urine and undergo MRI imaging with and without gadolinium enhancement. Following imaging, arthrocentesis of both knees and an arthroscopy of the target knee will occur to obtain fluid, synovium and cartilage for analysis.
NCT01604252
This multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study will evaluate the effectiveness, safety and utilization of treatments in patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma nevus syndrome. The total study duration is anticipated to be a maximum of 8 years, including 3 years for patient recruitment and 5 years follow-up.
NCT02604680
The objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of multiple formulations of BLI1100 to a control group and placebo in treating patients with moderate-severe acne vulgaris.
NCT02090257
The purpose of this pilot trial, Transitioning to Adult Care (TRANSIT), is to develop and test an intervention (i.e., a standardized, tailored transition program focused on enhancing adherence) to improve outcomes for emerging adults who underwent heart transplantation as children and transfer to adult care.
NCT01235546
The Cesarean Section Optimal Antibiotic Prophylaxis (C/SOAP) study is a large pragmatic multi-center randomized clinical trial designed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and safety of azithromycin-based extended-spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis (azithromycin plus standard narrow-spectrum cephalosporin) relative to standard single-agent cephalosporin (preferably prior to surgical incision) to prevent post-cesarean infection. Hypothesis: Compared to narrow-spectrum prophylaxis (i.e. cefazolin alone, or clindamycin if cephalosporin allergy) prior to surgical incision, the addition of extended-spectrum prophylaxis (azithromycin + cefazolin) reduces the incidence of post-cesarean infection.
NCT02494024

NCT01751594
The proposed research study aims to conduct a culturally-based secondary prevention intervention targeted toward HIV-positive Black young men who have sex with men (B-YMSM) to explore (1) feasibility and acceptability (Trial 1 and Trial 2) and (2) evidence of potential efficacy (Trial 2). The primary outcomes will be health promotion behaviors (i.e., treatment adherence, sexual risk reduction, reduction in substance use behaviors, and HIV status disclosure). Psychosocial factors (i.e. self-esteem, critical consciousness, and socio-political awareness) will be examined as secondary outcomes.
