NCT00048763
Juvenile primary Raynaud's (ray-knows) Phenomenon is a disorder of the blood vessels in the fingers and sometimes can affect the toes, nose, or ears. When children with primary Raynaud's Phenomenon are exposed to chilly or cold conditions from weather, cold temperatures, or even holding cold items from the refrigerator, their fingers may become cold, numb, hurt, and/or turn purple or white. Children with primary Raynaud's Phenomenon have no underlying systemic disease. The cause for their symptoms is unknown. The investigational drug, Pletal(cilostazol), which has been approved for other conditions, inhibits the ability of one type of blood cell, platelets, to form blood clots, and also widens narrowed blood vessels. It has been used in a variety of other conditions in which blood flow is decreased. This study will test the safety and effectiveness Pletal(cilostazol) to lessen the severity of the symptoms and decrease the number of primary Raynaud's episodes in juvenile patients.
NCT00048776
Juvenile secondary Raynaud's (ray-knows) Phenomenon is a disorder of the blood vessels in the fingers and sometimes can affect the toes, nose, or ears. Children with secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon have an underlying condition such as systemic lupus, scleroderma, or mixed connective tissue disease. When children with secondary Raynaud's are exposed to chilly or cold conditions from weather, cold temperatures, or even holding cold items from the refrigerator, their fingers may become cold, numb, hurt, and/or turn purple or white. The investigational drug, Pletal(cilostazol), which has been approved for other conditions, inhibits the ability of one type of blood cell, platelets, to form blood clots, and also widens narrowed blood vessels. It has been used in a variety of other conditions in which blood flow is decreased. This study will test the safety and effectiveness Pletal(cilostazol) to lessen the severity of the symptoms and decrease the number of secondary Raynaud's episodes in juvenile patients.
NCT00064597
This purpose of this study is to develop noninvasive methods of prenatal diagnosis. Fetal cells can be found in maternal blood. This study is designed to isolate these fetal cells from a sample of the pregnant woman's blood and use those cells to test for fetal chromosome abnormalities.
NCT00002170
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give Viracept to AIDS patients who are being treated for MAC.
NCT00002356
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ISIS 2922 in AIDS patients with Cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) retinitis who are unresponsive or intolerant to ganciclovir and/or foscarnet but are otherwise ineligible for ISIS Pharmaceuticals' controlled trials OR who have failed ISIS 2922 therapy on another controlled clinical trial. PER 2/8/96 AMENDMENT: Patients must rollover from another ISIS 2922 controlled trial.
NCT00022932
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of using Iodine-131 Anti-B1 Antibody for the treatment of patients with large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) who have achieved a response following 6-8 cycles of CHOP therapy.
NCT00002389
To compare the durability of the viral load response following 48 weeks of treatment with 1592U89/lamivudine (3TC)/zidovudine (ZDV) versus 3TC/ZDV alone. To compare the early antiviral activity following 16 weeks treatment with 1592U89/3TC/ZDV versus 3TC/ZDV alone as demonstrated by the proportion of subjects with viral load \< 400 copies/ml, plasma HIV-1 RNA profiles and CD4+ profiles. To assess the safety and tolerance following 16 and 48 weeks of treatment with 1592U89/3TC/ZDV versus 3TC/ZDV alone.
NCT00005012
The purpose of this study is to see if it is effective to give PEG-Intron (PEG-IFN) to HIV-infected patients who are not doing well with their current anti-HIV drug combination (HAART).
NCT00002187
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two dosage schedules for ISIS 2922 in the treatment of advanced cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis
NCT00004358
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether intermittent, long-term, subcutaneous administration of calcitonin increases phosphaturia, reduces hyperphosphatemia, and increases intact parathyroid hormone levels in patients with tumoral calcinosis. II. Determine whether calcitonin reduces or prevents tumor recurrence. III. Determine whether hyperphosphatemia abolishes the normal circadian pattern of serum phosphorus. IV. Determine how repetitive calcitonin administration alters the biochemical markers of bone metabolism in osteopenic patients with tumoral calcinosis.
NCT00055510
This research study is intended to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 3 different doses of BO-653, an investigational inhibitor of LDL cholesterol oxidation, when given orally twice a day compared to placebo (an inactive substance) in preventing restenosis (closure of vessel) within six months after stent implantation. Patients must be enrolled into this study within 24 hours after the stenting procedure. Additionally, over a 1- to 9-month post-stent period, the study will compare the safety and effectiveness of BO-653 versus placebo for measures of coronary artery vessel size by quantitative coronary angiography, major adverse cardiac events, and effects on the oxidative status of plasma lipids and other plasma components.
NCT00131313
This research study measures the safety and efficacy of the combination of three drugs that are approved, Nipent, Rituxan and Cytoxan in the treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). These drugs are being given together for investigational purposes as the specific combination of these three drugs has not been approved for treatment of CLL by the FDA.
NCT00047476
To evaluate the efficacy of dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH) in the treatment of chemotherapy-related fatigue in adult cancer subjects.
NCT00009061
The purpose of this study is to compare virus response to GW433908/ritonavir (RTV) to viral response to nelfinavir (NFV) when used with abacavir (ABC)/lamivudine (3TC) in patients that have not taken antiretroviral (ART) drugs.
NCT00002330
To compare the time to progression of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis among each of three doses of oral ganciclovir, as well as to intravenous therapy, when given as maintenance for 26 weeks. To compare the safety and tolerance among oral doses of ganciclovir at the study doses, as well as to intravenous therapy, when administered as maintenance for 26 weeks.
NCT00047775
A placebo-controlled trial of BiDil added to standard therapy in African-American patients with heart failure.
NCT00043797
This clinical trial is to determine an effective dosage and to study the safety of an investigational drug -lidorestat (IDD-676)- which is intended to stop or slow the progression of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
NCT00069511
This is a multi-center study. Neither the study subjects nor the physicians will know what treatment an individual subject is receiving. Subjects will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to one of five treatment groups. The treatment groups include four different dosing groups of active study drug and one group of subjects who will receive placebo. A 12 week follow up period occurs after the 12 weeks of dosing. The study endpoint is a reduction in Hepatitis C viral load.
NCT00004985
The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of an anti-HIV drug combination that adds capravirine in patients who have failed their first drug combination treatment.
NCT00002435
To investigate the safety of thymic humoral factor (THF gamma 2), its effect on HIV load based on at least a 75 percent decrease in HIV quantitative PCR RNA copies/ml, and its persistence when administered in combination with an antiretroviral nucleoside derivative (zidovudine; AZT). To assess the effects of THF gamma 2 on T-cells, quality of life, and progression of disease.
