NCT00486668
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether breast cancer tumors respond (as measured by pathologic complete response: the absence of microscopic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the breast) to combined chemotherapy of AC(doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) followed by paclitaxel plus trastuzumab or lapatinib or both given before surgery to patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab will also be given to all patients after surgery. The study will also evaluate the toxic effects of the chemotherapy combination, including effects on the heart, and will determine survival and progression-free survival 5 years after treatment. Also, the study will look at whether there are gene expression profiles in the tumor tissue that can predict pathologic complete response.
NCT01013324
There has not been any systemic therapy approved in the United States or in Europe for treating advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of XL147 in advanced or recurrent EC. Constitutively active phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN) pathway signaling is common in EC and involved in the development and/or progression of the disease. PTEN deficiency and/or activating mutations/amplification in the PIK3CA gene that encodes the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K have been frequently detected in EC patients. XL147 is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of the Class I PI3K family of lipid kinases. In addition, in vivo preclinical data have demonstrated that XL147 targets both proximal and distal signaling in the PI3K/PTEN pathway. Therefore, XL147 may have utility in the treatment of subjects with advanced or recurrent EC.
NCT02466061
This randomized, controlled study evaluates the efficacy of weigh loss interventions in endometrial cancer survivors, using novel technology-based weight loss platforms. This is a multi-site, pilot feasibility study which will provide preliminary data to support a larger NIH funded, mult-center trial.
NCT01527617
The objective of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design clinical trial is to investigate the potential antioxidant benefits of a cranberry beverage. The investigators hypothesize the chronic consumption of this beverage will improve indices of oxidative stress, inflammation, endothelial function, and glucoregulation. The investigators also hypothesize that these benefits will be particularly evident following an oral glucose tolerance test.
NCT01599949
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib in patients with mantle cell lymphoma who received at least 1 prior rituximab-containing chemotherapy regimen and who progressed after bortezomib therapy.
NCT01363440
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI; EYLEA®; BAY86-5321) on the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessed by the early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) chart in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) with central involvement.
NCT00543114
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of lenalidomide (revlimid) in combination with fludarabine and rituximab and to determine the highest dose of lenalidomide that can safely be given in that combination. Lenalidomide is a drug that alters the immune system and may also interfere with the the development of tiny blood vessels that help support tumor growth. Lenalidomide is approved by the FDA for the treatment of two different blood cancers called myelodysplastic syndrome and multiple myeloma. Lenalidomide has also been studied in subjects with relapsed CLL. In this research study we are adding lenalidomide to a well-established initial therapy for CLL/SLL.
NCT00134615
The purpose of this pilot project is to test the effectiveness of three 20 minute health education modules on patient empowerment, patient activation and retention in care.
NCT01455870
Phase 3 study to compare treatment with ITCA 650 to sitagliptin when added to metformin monotherapy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
NCT01829477
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TAK-875 compared to placebo on glycemic control over a 24-week Treatment Period when used as an add-on to glimepiride in addition to diet and exercise.
NCT01829464
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TAK-875 (fasiglifam) in combination with sitagliptin on glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
NCT00144014
A Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of five dose levels of study drug in acute ischaemic stroke
NCT01492426
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of BMS-790052 (Daclatasvir) and Telaprevir when given in combination with Peginterferon alfa-2a and Ribavirin in genotype 1b patients
NCT02188173
This is a study of OZURDEX® use in clinical practice in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
NCT00993382
The Primary objective was to assess the efficacy of Celivarone for the prevention of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) interventions or death. Secondary objectives were: * To assess the tolerability and safety of the different dose regimens of Celivarone in the selected population. * To document Celivarone plasma levels during the study.
NCT01458951
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib (CP-690,550) in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who have failed or be intolerant to one of following treatments for ulcerative colitis: oral steroids, azathiopurine/6-mercaptopurine, or anti-TNF-alpha therapy.
NCT01549964
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of TAK-875 (25 mg and 50 mg), once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to placebo plus metformin and sitagliptin plus metformin on lowering blood sugar.
NCT00299325
Primary objective: To assess the effect of rimonabant on visceral fat area over a period of 12 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in abdominally obese patients with metabolic syndrome Secondary objectives: * To assess the effect of rimonabant over a period of 12 months on: * Liver fat content using CT scan (Computed Tomography scan) * Anthropometric measures (weight, waist circumference, body composition using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)) * Lipid, lipoprotein profile * Glycemia, insulinemia and HbA1c * Adipokines, inflammatory and hemostatic markers * To evaluate the percentage of patients with metabolic syndrome at 12 months * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimonabant in these patients In four selected US sites the effect of rimonabant at 12 months will be also assessed on: * Basal lipolysis and insulin suppressed lipolysis (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp). * Resting metabolic rate and substrate oxidation at rest using indirect calorimetry. * Adipose tissue histology and expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism (superficial adipose tissue biopsy).
NCT00417209
