NCT00626405
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. It is not yet known whether bevacizumab is more effective when given together with temozolomide or paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin in killing malignant melanoma cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving temozolomide together with bevacizumab and to see how well it works compared with giving bevacizumab together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin in treating patients with stage IV malignant melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.

NCT03011554
VisionCare's Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT, intraocular telescope or telescope) is indicated for monocular implantation to improve vision in eyes of patients at least 65 years of age with severe to profound vision impairment caused by bilateral central scotomas associated with end-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Patients with end-stage AMD who have undergone bilateral cataract removal and intraocular lens placement are currently contraindicated for telescope surgery. These patients have no viable therapy available to improve their vision. The objective of the TES pilot study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of implanting the intraocular telescope for improving vision in patients with bilateral end-stage age- related macular degeneration who are pseudophakic.

NCT00076102
Background: Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant, progressive genetic disorder characterized by diverse clinical manifestations. Patients with NF1 have an increased risk of developing tumors of the central and peripheral nervous system including plexiform neurofibromas, which are benign nerve sheath tumors that may cause severe morbidity and possible mortality. The histopathology of these tumors suggests that events connected with formation of fibroblasts might constitute a point of molecular vulnerability. Gene profile analysis demonstrates overexpression of fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, and platelet-derived growth factor in plexiform neurofibromas in patients with NF1. Pirfenidone is a novel antifibrotic agent that inhibits these and other growth factors. Clinical experience in adults has demonstrated that pirfenidone is effective in a variety of fibrosing conditions and pirfenidone is presently under study in a phase II trial for adults with progressive plexiform neurofibromas. A phase I trial of pirfenidone in children and young adults with NF1 and plexiform neurofibromas was completed, and has established the phase II dose (the dose resulting in a mean drug exposure \[AUC\] not more than 1 standard deviation below the mean drug exposure \[AUC\] in adults who received pirfenidone at the dose level demonstrating activity in fibrosing conditions). Pirfenidone has been well tolerated. Objectives: To determine whether pirfenidone increases the time to disease progression based on volumetric measurements in children and young adults with NF1 and growing plexiform neurofibromas. To define the objective response rate to pirfenidone in NF1-related plexiform neurofibromas. To describe and define the toxicities of pirfenidone. Eligibility: Individuals (greater than or equal to 3 years to less than or equal to 21 years of age) with a clinical diagnosis of NF1 and inoperable, measurable, and progressive plexiform neurofibromas that have the potential to cause substantial morbidity. Design: The phase II dose will be used in a single stage, single arm phase II trial The natural history of the growth of plexiform neurofibromas is unknown. For this reason, time to disease progression on the placebo arm of an ongoing National Cancer Institute (NCI) Pediatric Oncology Branch (POB) placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over phase II trial of the farnesyltransferase inhibitor R115777 for children and young adults with NF1 and progressive plexiform neurofibromas.

NCT02526524
The purpose of the study is to compare the glycemic effects of delayed-release metformin (Met DR) to placebo in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over 16 weeks. The study is designed to evaluate several doses of Met DR (600 to 1500 mg once daily in the morning \[qAM\]) compared to placebo.

NCT01469377
An outpatient study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cariprazine as adjunct to antidepressant therapy (ADT) in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have an inadequate response to ADT alone. This clinical study compared cariprazine + ADT with placebo + ADT in outpatients with a diagnosis of MDD and an inadequate response to ADT. The study consisted of approximately 2 weeks of screening and washout followed by 8 weeks of double-blind treatment followed by a 1 week safety follow-up.
NCT01727297
This study is to determine, through continuous monitoring with the Reveal implantable cardiac monitor (ICM), the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients suspected to be at high risk for having AF and to understand how physicians manage these patients after AF has been detected. This study will also seek to identify what patient characteristics are most predictive of developing AF.
NCT02546609
The goal of this study is to determine if NS-0200 can reduce the amount of liver fat in patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study will compare two doses of NS-0200 to placebo in NAFLD patients.
NCT02128217
Early identification of acute HCV infection is essential to prevent chronic infections and the long-term liver disease complications that may occur. Early identification and treatment of HCV during the acute phase can result in significantly higher response rates with shorter durations of therapy. Pegylated-interferon alfa (PEG-IFN) was the typical treatment for HCV infection. Participants subcutaneously inject PEG-IFN where the average duration of treatment was approximately 20 weeks. With the advancement of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), it was possible to see if a new DAA might be non-inferior compared to (PEG-IFN). The study was designed to see if a fixed-dose combination tablet can replace the old HCV treatments by being more effective, safer and better tolerated in HIV-infected participants with new HCV infection. The study was a Phase I, open-label, two cohort clinical trial, in which 44 acutely HCV-infected HIV-1 positive participants were enrolled. Participants in each cohort were evaluated in two steps: on treatment (Step 1) and follow-up after discontinuing study treatment (Step 2). The cohorts were enrolled sequentially. Participants in Cohort 1 were enrolled and administered oral Sofosbuvir (SOF) in combination with weight-based ribavirin (RBV). Participants in Cohort 2 were enrolled and administered an oral fixed dose combination of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF).
NCT00529802

NCT03259347

NCT02085538
Since the amount of palbociclib eliminated in urine is 6.9%, renal impairment is not expected to have much impact on palbociclib. However, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Guidance recommends a study in subjects with renal impairment when the drug is likely to be used in patients with impaired renal function. Palbociclib is intended for chronic use in cancer patients who may have some degree of impaired renal function.
