NCT01524978
This open-label, multi-center study will assess the efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in participants with BRAF V600 mutation-positive cancers (solid tumors and multiple myeloma, except melanoma and papillary thyroid cancer) and for whom vemurafenib is deemed the best treatment option in the opinion of the investigator. Participants will receive twice daily oral doses of 960 mg vemurafenib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The safety and efficacy of vemurafenib in combination with cetuximab in a subset of participants with colorectal cancer will also be assessed.
NCT01246011
Heparin/Platelet Factor 4 (PF4) antibody testing will be performed in subjects who have just undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. 30 subjects with a positive antibody result and no signs or symptoms of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) will be randomized to receive argatroban and warfarin. 30 subjects with a positive antibody result and no signs or symptoms of HIT will be randomized to receive no treatment. 30 subjects with a negative antibody result will also be followed in the study. All subjects will have a cardiac CT scan at about 30 days post surgery to measure the patency of their coronary artery bypass vein grafts. This study will evaluate if treating patients who have heparin PF4 antibodies post-CABG with argatroban and warfarin has any effect on the short-term patency of coronary artery bypass vein grafts.
NCT01928797
The purpose of the study is to learn more about how the heart works during cesarean delivery under spinal anesthesia (medicines given in the spine that numb parts of your body to block pain) in women. The investigators would like to find out if the information about the heart can help in treating blood pressure changes that occur during the cesarean delivery. The investigators would also like to find out if this information can help reduce the chances of nausea and vomiting during the cesarean delivery. The activity of the heart changes during spinal anesthesia and cesarean section. In the past, a sensor placed directly into the heart was the only way to see how the heart worked. Currently, there are monitors that can sense the heart's activity via sensors that are placed on the skin during cesarean delivery. In this study, the investigators will use the ICON cardiac output (ICON) monitor. The ICON monitor is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to monitor (check) the activity of your heart. This study aims to: 1. Determine if additional cardiac output measurements help anesthesiologists maintain appropriate hemodynamics as defined as within 20% of baseline BP and if it changed their choice of vasopressors (primary outcome). 2. Determine if additional cardiac output measurements help to decrease the incidence of nausea and vomiting during cesarean delivery (secondary outcome).
NCT00622401
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational Dendritic Cell/Tumor Fusion vaccine given with IL-12 for patients with breast cancer. RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells and white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Interleukin-12 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with interleukin-12 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-12 when given together with vaccine therapy and to see how well they work in treating women with stage IV breast cancer.
NCT01767454
This is an open-label, multi-center, dose-finding Phase 1 study that will enroll subjects at least 18 years old with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and BRAF V600 mutations. The primary objective of the study is to describe the safety for the doublet therapy (dabrafenib and ipilimumab) and the triplet therapy (dabrafenib/trametinib and ipilimumab). Preliminary efficacy data will also be collected. Subjects will be assigned to receive either the doublet combination (dabrafenib and ipilimumab) or the triplet combination (dabrafenib, trametinib, and ipilimumab). Subjects will be enrolled to dose-finding cohorts in the doublet combination (dabrafenib + ipilimumab) in a sequential 3+3 fashion. Following establishment of a dose for the doublet combination, an expansion cohort will be opened. At the same time, enrollment to dose finding cohorts for the triplet combination (dabrafenib + trametinib + ipilimumab) will begin in a sequential 6+6 fashion. Enrollment into triplet cohorts will take priority when both the doublet expansion arm and the triplet dose-finding arm are open for enrollment at the same time. Approximately 9-24 subjects will be enrolled to the dose finding portion of the study. Approximately 30 subjects will be enrolled to doublet expansion cohort and 30 subjects will be enrolled in the triplet expansion cohort. A two-week run-in period without ipilimumab will be followed by 4 intravenous doses of ipilimumab at the recommended dose and schedule. Oral daily dosing of dabrafenib or dabrafenib + trametinib will continue from the two-week run-in, through combination with ipilimumab, and post-ipilimumab until no longer of clinical benefit, in the opinion of the treating physician, or until unacceptable AE or death
NCT01161862
The investigators hypothesize that our closed-loop glucose-control system can provide BG control in subjects with type 1 diabetes using the estimated BG signal from a CGM as the input signal to the controller.
NCT01977222
Mechanisms that typically result in increased cardiac output, such as inotropic support, increased heart rate, and decreased afterload, have a blunted effect in Fontan circulation. The "thoracic pump" is a contributor to venous return that has been largely unexplored in patients with Fontan physiology. Inspiratory muscle training can improve the performance of competitive athletes across a range of sports and can improve quality of life and functional capacity in heart failure patients, presumably by reducing inspiratory muscle fatigue and possibly by improving peripheral blood flow during exercise. One could surmise that the effects of these changes would be particularly important in the Fontan population. The investigators propose to study the effects of inspiratory muscle training on exercise and pulmonary function parameters in a cohort of adult Fontan patients. The investigators hypothesize that a 12-week program of inspiratory muscle training with an inspiratory impedance threshold device will improve inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, and that this will translate into improved exercise performance in patients with Fontan physiology.
NCT02197130
This study is a 26 week, randomized, parallel group, double blind comparison of PF-02545920 5 mg, PF-02545920 20 mg, and placebo dosed BID in the treatment of motor impairment of subjects with Huntington's Disease. A total of approximately 260 subjects are planned to be randomized in the study. Primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the Total Motor Score (TMS) assessment of the Unified Huntington Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) after 26 weeks of treatment. secondary endpoints will include change from baseline in the Total Maximum Chorea (TMC) score of the UHDRS after 13 and 26 weeks of treatment and Clinical Global Impression-Improvement score after 13 and 26 weeks of treatment.
NCT00451321
The purpose of this study is to optimize several multi-dose regimens of otelixizumab, determine the highest biologically active dose, evaluate biomarkers and surrogates of efficacy, and to evaluate the effects of each multi-dose regimen of otelixizumab against standard safety and efficacy parameters.
NCT00068406
This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin followed by surgery works in treating patients with locally advanced cancer of the vulva. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cisplatin 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. Giving chemotherapy with radiation therapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so it can be removed during surgery.
NCT01632904
The purpose of the RELIEF study is to compare symptoms in polycythemia vera (PV) subjects treated with ruxolitinib versus subjects treated with hydroxyurea (HU) as measured by the percent of subjects who achieve a clinically meaningful symptom improvement (ie, total symptom score reduction of ≥ 50% reduction) at Week 16 compared to Baseline. The study is also designed to demonstrate that these responses are durable with continued treatment.
NCT00598806
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the 2-Year Recurrence Rate of bladder cancer in randomized patients with tumor histology Ta, G1-G2 who received TransUrethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) plus apaziquone versus those who received TURBT plus placebo.

NCT00619424
This is an open-label, two-arm, Phase I, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pazopanib in combination with erlotinib (Arm A) or pazopanib in combination with pemetrexed (Arm B) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 (in each arm) to receive escalating doses of pazopanib and erlotinib or pazopanib and pemetrexed. Dose escalation schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, the MTD regimen will be defined as the highest dose combination of the agents where no more than one out of six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity. Six to twelve additional patients in each arm will be studied with the MTD regimen to evaluate toxicity and pharmacokinetics. In arm A (erlotinib), a run-in phase with each drug separately will allow an evaluation of pharmacokinetics with each drug separately and also for the two drugs in combination. This will allow an assessment of potential drug-drug interactions. Pharmacokinetic endpoints will be AUC, Cmax, tmax and t1/2 of pazopanib, erlotinib, and pemetrexed, as well as pemetrexed clearance before and after administration of pazopanib in the extension cohort of Arm B. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria.

NCT01340846
GSK2118436 is an orally administered, potent and selective small molecule BRAF inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of BRAF mutation-positive tumors. This is a 4-part study (in 4 separate cohorts of subjects) designed to examine the interaction potential of GSK2118436, either as a perpetrator (i.e., effect of GSK2118436 on warfarin; Part A) or victim (i.e., effect of other drugs on GSK2118436; Part B: ketoconazole and Part C: gemfibrozil), as well as to evaluate the single and repeat dose pharmacokinetic parameters of GSK2118436 (Part D). A sufficient number of subjects will be screened to obtain approximately 12 evaluable subjects each for Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D. Following completion of this study, subjects may continue dosing with GSK2118436 in the roll-over study, Protocol BRF114144.
NCT00650910
This is a two part study looking at the effect of lapatinib on concentrations of digoxin in the blood when both drugs are dosed together in Part 1; and looking at the safety and antitumor effect of lapatinib when used together with possible additional anticancer therapy as chosen at the doctor's discretion.
