NCT01206556
This study is being done to evaluate how long the immune response from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine you / your child received persists. The immune response occurred after immunization and is what protects you/your child from HPV disease. You / your child received this vaccine as part of an earlier study (P1047). The vaccine is called Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (QHPV Vaccine, also known as GARDASIL®). The study will check to see if the protective effects (called "antibodies") produced by the vaccine have lasted, and for how long these effects will continue to last. You will not be given any medications or vaccines as part of this follow-up study.
NCT00311805
The goal of the study is to determine the safety and possible effectiveness of various doses of autologous (one's own) stem cells, delivered with a needle into the regions of the leg with poor blood flow in patients with blocked leg arteries that results in claudication (pain when walking). Stem cells are primitive cells produced by the bone marrow that can develop into blood cells or other types of cells. In addition to determining whether this new approach is safe, the diagnostic tests may offer preliminary insights into the usefulness of this approach for treating intermittent claudication - the condition where areas in the leg are lacking enough oxygen and blood flow to keep the leg muscle working well, causing pain and cramping upon walking. This study is a double-blind, randomized study to compare CD34-positive stem cells versus a placebo agent (salt water solution known as normal saline). The patient will have a 3:1 chance of their stem cells versus the placebo. Regardless of a patient receiving placebo or treatment, all patients will undergo all of the pre-treatment phases of this study, which includes the stem cell mobilization and apheresis procedure.
NCT00004412
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of local care alone vs local care plus arginine butyrate in terms of healing rate in patients with refractory sickle cell ulcers. II. Determine the effect of arginine butyrate therapy on tissue factors related to promotion or inhibition of wound healing in these patients. III. Determine whether the regimen used in this study is appropriate for testing in pivotal trials.
NCT00117598
This is an open-label, randomized trial in relapsed refractory subjects with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
NCT00831844
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well cixutumumab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them.
NCT01557582
The primary endpoint of this study is the percent difference between the VentriPoint Medical System (VMS) and cMRI for estimating the end diastolic and end systolic right ventricular volumes (RVEDV and RVESV) in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The trial will be defined as positive if the mean VMS-cMRI percent difference is \<10% and \>-10% at a 1-sided 0.025 statistical significance level for RVEDV and for RVESV, with no safety concerns for the VMS procedure.
NCT01802723
Dose Ranging Study
NCT00761917
The objectives of this study are to assess for a difference between normal and dry eye subjects in tear film quality using a diagnostic interferometry device and to determine whether there are associations between tear film quality and dry eye symptoms and signs.
NCT00989313
This study is designed to follow up patients, who have participated in the PEP005-028 study and observed complete clearance of their Actinic Keratosis (AK) lesions, over a 12 month period to assess both recurrence of AK lesions and long term safety in the selected treatment area.
NCT02391259
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential rising single-dose study in which approximately 56 subjects with SLE will be enrolled in 7 dosing cohorts
NCT00254891
To assess the efficacy and safety of PF-3512676 administered in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and to compare it to the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel
NCT00877032
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of RN6G in patients with dry, age-related macular degeneration.
NCT00240253
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding Symlin to an established regimen of insulin glargine in subjects with type 2 diabetes who are not achieving glycemic targets.
NCT00064038
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as dexamethasone use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of multiple myeloma by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether dexamethasone is more effective with or without lenalidomide in treating multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying dexamethasone and lenalidomide to see how well they work compared to dexamethasone alone in treating patients with previously untreated stage I, stage II, or stage III multiple myeloma.
NCT00675610
The goal of this research is to improve communication between the patients with HIV and their health care providers. The overall purpose of doing so is to reduce disparities in medication self-efficacy, adherence to therapy, and HIV viral load suppression. The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a combined provider and patient communication intervention conducted at two separate visits compared to usual care in improving the quality of patient-provider communication, patients' medication self-efficacy, patient adherence to therapy, and HIV RNA suppression.
NCT02123212
The Birth-Cohort Evaluation to Advance Screening and Testing for Hepatitis C (BEST-C) compares the effectiveness of the birth cohort HCV screening strategy with the current risk-based screening approach to detect previous unidentified persons with viral hepatitis C who receive health care in primary systems. The study involved three clinical sites, The University of Alabama, Birmingham; The Henry Ford Health System; and the Mount Sinai Medical Center, each of which developed an independent intervention to experimentally compare the number of positive Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) diagnoses found using the birth-cohort screening approach with that found using traditional risk-based screening, or standard of care strategies. Birth cohort testing is defined as the systematic recommendation of HCV antibody testing to any persons born during the years of 1945 to 1965 who do not have clinically documented evidence of a prior antibody test without regards to the patient's stated risk of exposure to the virus.
NCT02403466
Because communication and handoff failures are a root cause of two-thirds of "sentinel events"- serious, often fatal preventable adverse events in hospitals improving handoffs has been identified by AHRQ and the Joint Commission as a priority in nationwide efforts to improve patient safety. Comparative Effectiveness Research on handoff tools and processes has identified specific strategies to improve handoffs and reduce medical errors: 1) team training; 2) verbal mnemonics; and 3) use of written/computerized tools to supplement verbal sign-outs. To accelerate residents' use of CER-based handoff practices and improve patient safety, the investigators are implementing the three inventions above as a Resident Handoff Bundle (RHB) in eight pediatric hospitals in the United States and Canada.
NCT00346385
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as BB-10901, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of BB-10901 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
NCT00559117
Aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and find the maximal tolerated dose of VB-111 in Patients with Advanced Metastatic Cancer
