NCT00642460
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with active systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) who have an inadequate clinical response to NSAIDs and corticosteroids. In Part I of the study patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive iv infusions of RoActemra/Actemra (8mg/kg iv for patients \>=30kg, or 12mg/kg for patients \<30kg) or placebo, every 2 weeks. Stable NSAIDs and methotrexate will be continued throughout. After 12 weeks of double-blind treatment, all patients will have the option to enter Part II of the study to receive open-label treatment with RoActemra/Actemra for a further 92 weeks, followed by a 3-year continuation of the study in Part III in which, for patients who meet specific criteria, an optional alternative dosing schedule decreasing the study drug administration frequency will be introduced. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 5 years.
NCT01335477
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.
NCT02588625
This is a two part study. The purpose of Part A is to determine if BMS-986020 is effective in treatment of diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis using one dose of BMS-986020. The purpose of Part B is to determine if BMS-986020 is effective in treatment of diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis using two different doses of BMS-986020.
NCT02841072
The primary objective of this study is to document the rates of success and serious complications among women having outpatient medical abortions with 200 mg mifepristone + 800 buccal misoprostol at 64-70 days of gestation.
NCT00407303
Defects in the apoptotic process can lead to the onset of cancer by allowing cells to grow unchecked when an oncogenic signal is present. Obatoclax is designed to restore apoptosis through inhibition of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, thereby reinstating the natural process of cell death that is often inhibited in cancer cells.
NCT00003812
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Combining more than one drug and giving them before and with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for limited-stage small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer.
NCT02159105
This study is designed to see if abdominal ultrasound after planned cesarean delivery can identify women with ongoing intra-abdominal bleeding.
NCT00003546
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of gemcitabine plus radiation therapy in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed surgically.
NCT00003666
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irofulven in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01528917
This is a Natural History study to characterize key aspects of the clinical course of late onset Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency/ Cholesteryl Ester Storage Disease (CESD).
NCT02252653
The purpose of this study is to characterize the frequency of TTR mutations in subjects suspected of having cardiac amyloidosis
NCT00033696
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung cancer.
NCT00022087
RATIONALE: Zoledronate plus calcium and vitamin D may prevent bone loss in patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. It is not yet known which regimen is more effective in preventing bone loss. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two regimens of zoledronate plus calcium and vitamin D to see how well they work in preventing bone loss in women who are receiving adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer.
NCT00659373
RATIONALE: Learning about the long-term effects of adjuvant tamoxifen (T), adjuvant tamoxifen with ovarian function suppression (T+OFS), and exemestane with ovarian function suppression (E+ OFS) on brain function may help doctors plan cancer treatment. PURPOSE: This study is looking at brain function in premenopausal women who are receiving adjuvant tamoxifen (T) alone against those receive adjuvant tamoxifen (T+OFS) or exemestane (E+OFS) with ovarian function suppression (OFS) for early-stage breast cancer on clinical trial IBCSG-2402.
NCT00417248
Sorafenib has demonstrated in vivo anti-tumor efficacy. This trial will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of sorafenib following chemoradiation in locally advanced NSCLC.
NCT01240876
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CEP-37247 compared with placebo as assessed by the occurrence of adverse events, and the mean change in average pain intensity (API) in the affected leg.
NCT00705874
This study will aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose of CGC-11047 when used in individual combinations with gemcitabine, or docetaxel, or bevacizumab, or erlotinib or cisplatin or 5-flurouracil or sunitinib in one of 7 treatment arms. The dose of CGC-11047 will be escalated until the maximum tolerated dose is established.

NCT02137811
Recently an automated test for measuring cancer cell death in the presence of chemotherapy has been developed. This test has been called the MiCK assay during the ten year development phase and is now called Correct Chemo. CorrectChemo provides the medical community and patients a way to determine the effects of different chemotherapies on individual cancer cells. MiCK assay has been proven to have clinical usefulness in two studies. In one study using multiple types of cancer, physicians used the MiCK assay in 63% of the patients. If the physician used the results to prescribe the chemotherapy treatment, the patients' response rate, time to the disease getting worse, and overall survival were all significantly better compared to patients whose physicians did not use the results. In another study of breast cancer patients, physicians used the MiCK assay in 74% of patients. If the results were used when planning chemotherapy, response rate and time to the disease started getting worse were all significantly better compared to patients whose physicians did not use the results of the MiCK assay The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients who have had the MiCK assay (CorrectChemo) with tumor types, physician attitudes towards the test, and how the physicians used the test. This study will be gathering this data by reviewing medical charts.
NCT02574962
