NCT01286753
This open-label, multi-center study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Vemurafenib (RO5185426) in participants with metastatic or unresectable papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) positive for the BRAF V600 mutation and resistant to radioactive iodine therapy. Participants will receive vemurafenib 960 milligrams (mg) orally twice daily until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
NCT01672164
The main focus of this study is to develop blood and/or urine tests that will help to detect early signs of rejection in people who have had a liver transplant. Researchers will examine blood, urine, and tissue samples and try to identify markers for certain conditions such as rejection, response to therapy, and scarring of the liver. Additionally, researchers would like to identify biomarkers that can detect damage to the native kidneys before blood levels of creatinine rises. By studying gene expression, researchers hope to be able to diagnose these conditions earlier and improve liver survival.
NCT00067938
Bipolar study of tolerability, clinical response and patient satisfaction
NCT01286506
Dialysis is used to control the fluid balance and metabolic state of patients with kidney disease. Control of the metabolic state, via electrolytes, can be monitored using labs that are routinely drawn from patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis. Control of fluid removal is much more difficult. This study aims to determine whether changes in the blood pressure associated with breathing correlate with or predict intolerance to fluid responsiveness with continuous dialysis. We hypothesize that a measurement of changes in blood pressure with breathing called arterial pulse pressure variation may be able to predict the ability to remove fluid during continuous renal replacement therapy.
NCT01838499
The purpose of this study is to gain initial evidence for the safety, tolerability and efficacy of MEDI8968 for the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa
NCT02222207
Part A (Phase IIa): Primary objectives: The study part A is designed to investigate whether the use of regorafenib eye drops can help patients with neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) to see better after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after inclusion into this study. Secondary objectives: The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the regorafenib eye drops. Part B (Phase IIb): Primary objectives: The study part B is designed to investigate: * how often the regorafenib eye drops need to be given per day * whether the use of regorafenib eye drops can help patients with neovascular (wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) to see better after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after inclusion into this study. Secondary objectives: The study will also evaluate how the different dosings of regorafenib eye drops affect patients vision, the safety and the tolerability.
NCT00544817
The mechanism of action of sorafenib makes it an interesting drug to investigate in the treatment of patients with glioblastoma multiforme. Efficacy of agents with anti-angiogenic activity has already been demonstrated and the PDGF receptor target may also be pertinent in glioblastoma. The combination of temozolomide plus sorafenib has been investigated previously in the treatment of patients with advanced melanoma. The combination was generally well tolerated; in previously untreated patients, a standard dose of sorafenib (400mg PO bid) was administered with temozolomide 150mg/m2 PO daily for 5 days, repeated every 28 days (23). In this multicenter phase II study, patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma will receive standard treatment, including initial debulking surgical resection (if feasible) followed by high-dose radiation therapy with concurrent temozolomide. After completion of radiation therapy, patients will continue treatment with temozolomide (150mg/m2 days 1-5) and sorafenib (400mg PO bid daily), repeated at 28-day intervals for 6 cycles.
NCT00887575
This trial will examine the combination of sunitinib plus paclitaxel and carboplatin as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced breast cancer.
NCT01358357
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, flexible-dose, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lurasidone (in combination with lithium or divalproex) for the maintenance treatment of bipolar I disorder in subjects with or without rapid cycling and /or psychotic features.
NCT01456000
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CardioFocus Endoscopic Ablation System with Adaptive Contact (HeartLight) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation by creating electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins.
NCT00607139
The primary objective of this study will be to compare the glucose level at which counter-regulatory hormone responses occur during hypoglycemia in young children with diabetes, with the glucose level counter regulatory hormone responses that occur in older children with diabetes.
NCT01352884
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multi-center, first time in human study of AMP-224 in adult patients with cancer that is not responding to standard therapy. This study will be conducted in two stages consisting of a Dose-Escalation stage and an Expansion Stage.
NCT01592214
This is a Phase I, multi-center, clinical study of XF-73 to evaluate the local (nasal) safety and tolerability of a modified, thinner lower viscosity formulation of intranasal XF-73 in healthy male and female subjects. In addition, the potential for systemic absorption of XF-73 in the modified, thinner lower viscosity and the previously investigated thicker, higher viscosity formulations and their decolonization efficacy in comparison to placebo will be evaluated. Both parts of the study will be double-blinded and Part 2 will also be placebo-controlled. Primary objective is to establish the safety and tolerability of two concentrations of a modified thinner, lower viscosity nasal formulation of XF-73 and to compare them to a previously investigated, thicker, higher viscosity formulation
NCT00967304
The main objective of this study is to verify whether a new clinical decision rule identifying patients diagnosed with unprovoked blood clots who have a low risk of recurrence can safely stop oral anticoagulant therapy after 5-7 months of treatment.
NCT01591681
The purpose of this study is to see whether low blood sugar at night can be reduced by using a system that turns off the insulin pump automatically. The study system includes a combination continuous glucose monitor (CGM)/ insulin pump made by Medtronic MiniMed, Inc and a regular laptop computer that runs a computer program that predicts low blood sugar. It works by (1) measuring the glucose levels under the skin with a continuous glucose monitor, (2) using a computer program on a laptop to predict what will happen to the glucose level over the next 35-55 minutes, and (3) turning off the insulin pump when the computer program predicts that low blood sugar will occur. This study has several phases and will take about 3 months for a patient to complete. Patients will use the Medtronic CGM with the Enlite sensor at home for 10-15 days to be sure that they are able and willing to use this system and to determine if they meet the investigators study criteria to proceed with the next phase of the study. Patients will be provided teaching on how to use CGM data in real time. If a patient is not using a Medtronic CGM already, the patient will first use one at home for 10-15 days to be sure that he/she is able and willing to use it. If a patient is already using a Medtronic CGM, then his/her most recent 10-15 days of data will be used to find out if he/she is eligible. Those who need to complete the CGM run-in phase will have an extra office visit for training. If eligible to continue in the study, patients will need to use the study system for 5 nights at home so that the investigators can make sure they are able to use it correctly. After that, patients will be asked to use the study system each night for an additional 6 to 8 weeks. If the system is active and predicts that a patient's blood sugar will become low, the insulin pump will shut off for up to 2 hours. The study will include about 45 individuals at 3 clinical centers in the United States and Canada.
