NCT00345176
Oral supplementation with the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) formulation (antioxidant vitamins C and E, beta carotene, and zinc) has been shown to reduce the risk of progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Observational data suggest that increased dietary intake of lutein + zeaxanthin (carotenoids), omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid \[DHA\] + eicosapentaenoic acid \[EPA\]), or both might further reduce this risk. AREDS2 was designed to test whether adding lutein + zeaxanthin, DHA + EPA, or lutein + zeaxanthin and DHA + EPA to the AREDS formulation might further reduce the risk of progression to advanced AMD. A secondary goal was to test the effects of eliminating beta carotene and reducing zinc dose in the AREDS formulation.
NCT00950963
The current project is evaluating the effect of a nurse-administered phone care in diabetes to improve access to care and healthcare delivery. The setting is a federally qualified community health center serving over 1600 diabetic patients, 80% of whom are Latino. Using our diabetes registry, we have randomly assigned 762 patients to either participate in a telephone-based, nurse-run outreach program (N=381) or to continue with usual care(N=381). Three of our registered nurses learned algorithms addressing management of cholesterol, blood pressure, kidney disease, aspirin use, eye screening, and pneumovax and influenza vaccines. The program began recruitment in September 2005 and has finished follow up in May 2007. The program initially focused only on cholesterol management utilizing national guidelines and algorithms on patients with elevated cholesterol (LDL) levels but has expanded to include glycemic and blood pressure control. We found that Registered Nurses were able and willing to provide telephone care to diabetic patients according to moderately complex algorithms and to track patient data electronically with overall job satisfaction. Overall, the nurses have expressed enthusiasm but have also experience frustrations with maintaining contact and improving motivation in patients. The impact of this program on diabetes outcomes and its cost-effectiveness is currently being analyzed with the goal of implementing this program in our institution.
NCT00903032
We propose to test the effectiveness of a multi-faceted patient-centered adherence intervention among veterans following ACS hospitalization to improve adherence to cardioprotective medications (primary aim). Secondary aims will assess whether the intervention improves achievement of secondary prevention blood pressure (BP) and low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol goals, reduces cardiac endpoints (myocardial infarction ) MI hospitalization, coronary revascularization, all-cause mortality) and is cost-effective. ANTICIPATED IMPACT(S) : If successful, the proposed intervention will increase adherence to cardioprotective medications (i.e., -blockers, statins, clopidogrel, and ACE inhibitors) by helping veterans take their medications routinely as prescribed, the quality of cardiovascular care for veterans by helping patients achieve BP and LDL goals which have been associated with improved outcomes, and the efficiency of care by using telephone calls and tele-monitoring for communication with patients rather than clinic visits. The findings of the study will address an important gap in knowledge (i.e., how to improve adherence to medications following ACS discharge) and will be generalizable to other VA Medical Centers and veterans.
NCT00110487
The purpose of this investigational study is to determine if a study medication is safe and effective in reducing the symptoms associated with endometriosis; if the study medication reduces the need for pain medication for endometriosis symptoms; and if the study medication improves a participant's ability to carry out daily activities. Qualified participants will receive no cost treatment, which may include study-related examinations, diagnostic procedures including a Pap smear, laboratory testing, and a mammogram (aged 40-45). Qualified participants will also receive study medication at no cost. As a participant, the study volunteer may also experience the satisfaction of knowing she is helping the advancement of women's health care.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory efficacy of RECTIV® in adolescents
NCT00353587
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active comparator-controlled phase 2/3 study of three dose levels of MBX-102 (200, 400, 600 mg) given orally to patients with type 2 diabetes receiving concomitant therapy with insulin. Eligible patients will be adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking intermediate- and/or long-acting insulin or pre-mixed (e.g., "70/30") insulin, or a combination of insulin and one or two non-TZD hypoglycemic agents including sulfonylurea, metformin, acrabose or Byetta, but who are poorly controlled on their existing therapy. Preference for enrollment will be given to patients on insulin monotherapy. Patients treated with a combination of insulin and other hypoglycemic agent(s) must be willing and able to discontinue and washout of the hypoglycemic agent(s) for the entire duration of the study (in toto, approximately 28 weeks). Patients who are taking fixed doses of a short-acting insulin (e.g., not a "sliding scale") in combination with intermediate-acting insulin may qualify for the study if both the patient and investigator are willing to either change to pre-mixed insulin (e.g., 70/30) or discontinue use of the short acting insulin for at least 26 weeks. Patients treated with a sliding scale of short-acting insulin will not be eligible for enrollment.
NCT00070252
Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of neoadjuvant tipifarnib combined with docetaxel and capecitabine in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors or stage IIIA or stage IIIB breast cancer. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining tipifarnib with docetaxel and capecitabine may kill more tumor cells.
NCT01160484
This is a phase II, multicenter, open label, nonrandomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide at a dose of 10 mg/dose in combination with bortezomib at 1.0 mg/m2/dose, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) at 4.0 mg/m2/dose, and intravenous (IV) dexamethasone at 40 mg/dose in adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). The study consists of a screening period, followed by up to eight 28 day open label treatment cycles, a final assessment to occur 28 days after the end of the last treatment cycle, and a follow-up period.
NCT00113035
Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The primary objective of this study is to identify potential candidates for future clinical studies in Pompe disease.
NCT00422383

NCT00466323
The purpose of this study is to learn how to help veterans play a stronger role in shaping their mental health care. Specifically we want to see if we can help veterans improve their mental health treatment by helping them decide if they want to involve family in their mental health treatment, and if so, how. The study will compare a "family member provider" program to an "enhanced treatment as usual approach" in achieving these goals.
