NCT02494050
Anhedonia, characterized as (a) the diminished motivation to participate in activities, and/or (b) diminished enjoyment of a pleasurable activity are common symptoms among women diagnosed with mood disorders. This trial aims to test three treatments adapted to reduce anhedonia. The investigators will compare three treatment groups, specifically, two doses of Behavioral Activation treatment for anhedonia (i.e., 12 weeks vs. 8 weeks of BA) with an active comparator treatment, Bipolar Disorder Collaborative Care (12 weeks of BDCC). BA is a psychotherapy approach that helps participants to identify and modify environmental sources of their depression. BDCC is a supportive care approach that educates participants to optimize their medication initiation or their existing medication regimen. The time frame for this study will be between 12-14 weeks. Specifically, participants will be evaluated and enrolled within one week, then received up to 12 weeks of treatment (tracked through this time) and then complete two evaluations (one at week 8) and another at the end of treatment (an expected average of 12-14 weeks after enrolling into treatment). Primary analyses aim to compare the dose-mechanism change in BA relative to a standard medication optimizing protocol, BDCC. The secondary analyses are to evaluate individual differences in stated patient preferences for treatment, and group differences in treatment effect on anhedonia, side effects, and quality of life.
NCT01070836
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the incidence of progressive multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) in natalizumab-treated participants who do not have detectable antibodies to John Cunningham virus (JCV) (antibody negative) is lower than in participants who have detectable antibodies to JCV (antibody positive). The secondary objectives of this study are to: Estimate the incidence of PML in natalizumab-treated participants who are anti-JCV antibody negative and anti-JCV antibody positive, based on a meta-analysis of data obtained from this study and other data sources; Define the prevalence of anti-JCV antibody in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) participants receiving natalizumab within the TYSABRI Outreach: United Commitment to Health (TOUCH) Prescribing Program; Determine changes in anti-JCV antibody status over time.

The primary variable for assessing efficacy will be self-assessed 7-point dyspnea score at 8 and 16 hours.
NCT00312377
This large phase III clinical study is studying the effect of vandetanib (ZACTIMA) in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Vandetanib is a new type of agent that targets the blood supply to a cancer tumour (through it's anti-vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) properties) and the tumour cells themselves (through it's anti-endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) actions). This study will look at the effects of vandetanib in lung cancer patients who have had their cancer re-appear after treatment with standard chemotherapy. This clinical study will test if the vandetanib anti-VEGF and anti-EGFR characteristics can deliver longer improved progression free survival and improved overall survival than docetaxel (Taxotere) alone. All patients participating this clinical study will receive treatment with docetaxel, a commonly used treatment for recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. In addition, some patients will also receive vandetanib (ZACTIMA), an anti-EGFR / anti-VEGF agent. Recent clinical research shows that vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibition, when used with standard chemotherapy, can lead to increased survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Other research shows that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors, like erlotinib (Tarceva) can also increase overall non-small cell lung cancer survival by killing tumour cells and stopping them from dividing.
NCT01884532
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate blood metal ion levels as a function of time of implantation for the ASR-XL MoM system.
NCT01807949
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of lumacaftor in combination with ivacaftor at Week 24 in participants aged 12 years and older with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are homozygous for the F508del mutation on the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.
NCT01933672
Study B1621019 will assess efficacy and safety of two different dosing regimens of an investigational agent (PF-04937319) compared to an approved drug (sitagliptin) in patients with type 2 diabetes
NCT01338779
The purpose of this multi-center (observational) registry study is to establish a database of clinical and laboratory information that may help to identify any unique characteristics of tolerant participants that differ from participants who reject their kidney after discontinuing immunosuppressive drugs.
NCT02084628
This is an open-label, multi-center study involving babies 0-2 months of age who have liver problems (pathology) and need to have their liver and possibly, the bile ducts imaged using magnetic resonance imaging and injection of a contrast agent (dye). This agent is called Eovist. It has been marketed since 2004 and used in many countries all over the world. The baby will have blood tests before and after the imaging is done to make sure that there are no unexpected findings before and after the imaging. Also 3 blood samples up to 8 hours after the injection will be obtained in order to measure how much of the dye is in the blood. The baby will have an intravenous line which can be used for the blood samples and will not need to be stick for the blood samples. Several radiologists will evaluate the images. The family doctor will be contacted to find out what was the diagnosis and treatment after the results of the MRI were known. Six months after the study, the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) will be contacted to make sure the that baby did not have any problems, especially with the skin, joints and eyes.

NCT00006429
This is a trial to test whether treadmill training can be used to improve the "walking" of patients with partial spinal cord injury. While on the treadmill, patients will be partially supported through the use of a specially designed harness attached to an overhead lift (also called Body Weight Supported Treadmill Training, BWSTT). Patients who enroll in this study will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group, which receives 12 weeks of this specialized treadmill training with regular physical therapy, or to the control group, which receives 12 weeks regular physical therapy. The ability of the patients to "walk" will be measured before and after treatment as well as 6 and 12 months later, using standard tests that examine mobility independence and speed of ambulation. The trial takes place across five sites in the US and Canada. Patients eligible for this trial will have had a traumatic spinal cord injury within 8 weeks of trial entry.
NCT00419276
To determine if following total knee replacement, putting local anesthetic-or numbing medication-for five days through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the knee will decrease the time that patients need to spend in the hospital.
NCT02078674
This is a randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in adults 18 to 64 years old. Randomization will be stratified by age (18 to 49 years and 50 to 64 years) and by prior influenza immunization within the past three months. Subjects 18 to 49 years of age will comprise \~67% of subjects in each treatment group, and the balance will comprise subjects 50 to 64 years. Each subject will receive two identical IM doses of test article at a 21-day interval (Day 0 and Day 21), in alternate deltoids. For each subject, study follow-up will span approximately 385 days total, or approximately 13 months from the first dose.
NCT01734915
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the EGFR mutation can be detected in CTCs. CTCs are cancer cells that are shed from solid tumors and float freely in the bloodstream. A device called the CTC-chip has been developed to find CTCs in the blood of patients with cancer. This is an experimental device. Using this device, the investigators will test participants' blood to try and find CTCs with the EGFR mutation and compare them with the results from the biopsy your doctor has recommended. The long-term goal of this research is to develop a way to test for the EGFR mutation that is less invasive than a tumor biopsy.
NCT00261365
