NCT00409188
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cancer vaccine tecemotide (L-BLP25) in addition to best supportive care is effective in prolonging the lives of subjects with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer, compared to best supportive care alone. A local ancillary (sub) study in European centers will evaluate the immune response in peripheral blood after tecemotide (L-BLP25) or placebo vaccination.
NCT00006994
RATIONALE: Glutamine may be effective in decreasing side effects, such as inflammation of the mouth and throat, caused by radiation therapy. The effectiveness of glutamine for mucositis is not yet known. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of glutamine in treating patients who develop mucositis following radiation therapy for newly diagnosed cancer of the mouth or throat.
NCT00109850
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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. Cetuximab may also stop the growth of esophageal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving cetuximab together with combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy works in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
NCT00645411
The present study is the first study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the cell culture-derived influenza vaccine in healthy children and adolescents aged 3 to 17 years. A step-down approach is utilized in which reactogenicity and safety will be assessed in children and adolescents 9 to 17 years of age (Cohort 1) prior to enrolling additional children and adolescents 9 to 17 years of age (Cohort 2) and children 3 to 8 years of age (Cohort 3).
NCT00057759
RATIONALE: Sildenafil may be effective in helping patients who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer to have an erection for sexual activity and may improve sexual satisfaction and quality of life. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of sildenafil in treating erectile dysfunction in patients who have undergone radiation therapy and hormone therapy for prostate cancer in clinical trial RTOG-9910.
NCT00053846
RATIONALE: Buspirone may be effective in reducing dyspnea (shortness of breath) in patients with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of buspirone in reducing shortness of breath in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
NCT00005832
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 R115777 in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Improving Hispanics' understanding about LKD will ensure that Hispanic patients and public are fully informed of the treatment options for End Stage Kidney Disease.
NCT02027610
Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) increases the risk of death from infections in infants and young children. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends high-dose vitamin A supplementation (VAS) from 6-59 months of age to reduce the risk of death in countries where VAD is common. Such countries include Bangladesh, where this study is being conducted. While providing VAS at 6 months is recommended, providing VAS at birth may also decrease the risk of death since newborn infants are also at risk of VAD. VAS presumably reduces infant mortality by improving the immune response to infection and immunization. Vitamin A particularly affects the development and function of T cells, which develop in the thymus and are a key component of the memory response to infection and immunization. Vitamin A is important for development of an important class of T cells, regulatory T-cells, in the intestine. Regulatory T-cells prevent over-reaction of the immune system to substances the immune system might otherwise treat as harmful such as food or the healthy bacteria in the intestine. VAD could disrupt the normal colonization of the infant's intestinal tract and cause a condition called "dysbiosis" where abnormal bacteria flourish and adversely affect the infant's immune system. Dysbiosis may disrupt the immune response to injectable and oral vaccines. VAS at birth may prevent dysbiosis and thus improve immune function, response to vaccines, and child survival. The investigators recently completed an intervention trial in Bangladeshi infants (NCT01583972) examining the effect of VAS at birth on immune function and response to vaccines administered from birth to 14 wk of age. The present study will recruit infants who completed NCT01583972 when they are from 12 to 24 m of age to determine if VAS at birth affects the responses to these same vaccines when they are measured during the second year of life. The investigators will examine the effect of VAS at birth on gut microbiota measured early in infancy and during the second year of life, and explore the association of the gut microbiota with vaccine response. Mothers of study infants will participate in the study because the breast milk oligosaccharide content strongly affects gut microbiota composition and the "secretor status" of the mother, which can be determined from maternal FUT2 genotype, strongly affects breast milk oligosaccharide content.
