NCT01732965
To evaluate if the combination of psoralen plus ultraviolet A and narrowband ultraviolet B is more effective than narrowband ultraviolet B alone in the treatment of vitiligo.
NCT02311907
This randomized phase III trial is studying glutathione to see how well it works in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprotective drugs, such as glutathione, may help prevent peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin. It is not yet known whether glutathione is more effective than a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy.
NCT00048308
During a heart bypass procedure, a substance called "complement" is released by the body. This complement causes inflammation, which can lead to side effects such as chest pain, heart attacks, heart failure, or impairment of memory, language and motor skills. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug (pexelizumab), which blocks complement release, can reduce such side effects and be taken safely.
NCT02003469
Background and Rationale Cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent in the kidney transplant population, accounting for approximately 40% of all deaths and significant morbidity. The morbidity and mortality experienced by kidney transplant recipient's results from an excess of pre-transplant risk factors that are exacerbated by kidney transplantation along with the development of novel risk factors. Hypertension (HTN) is the most consistent cardiovascuar disease risk factor in transplant recipients.. A large number of studies have been done in the general population comparing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to casual, office based and home measures of blood pressure (BP). The results have clearly demonstrated that ABPM gives a more accurate representation of BP and arguably should be used as part of routine patient care. ABPM has been shown to reveal patients both with white-coat and with masked HTN, nocturnal HTN and lack of nocturnal dipping. Ambulatory BP measures afford us a non-invasive, highly accurate way to evaluate and treat kidney transplant recipients. Live kidney donors (LKD) have significantly expanded the supply of critical organs. Of paramount importance of course has always been donor safety. As a result, candidates are known to be healthy at the time of donation. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring allows a unique opportunity to examine the effects of live kidney donation on the blood pressure profiles of LKD. Methods Study Design: Prospective, 5-year, single center study of ABPM, cardiovascular and graft outcomes in incident and prevalent live kidney donors, kidney and kidney-pancreas transplant candidates and recipients.
NCT01402570
In this study, people who have symptoms of post polio will take oral glutathione supplements for three months. Their levels of fatigue, physical activity and sleep efficiency will be assessed.
NCT01165684
This trial is conducted in Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate if the two treatments are equally effective.
NCT02370459
The University of North Carolina will test the effectiveness of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's AFIX model for increasing HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents. AFIX (Assessment, Feedback, Incentives and eXchange) consists of brief quality improvement consultations that immunization specialists from state health departments deliver to vaccine providers in primary care settings. Using immunization registry data, the specialist evaluates the clinic's vaccination coverage and delivers education on best practices to improve coverage. We will compare changes in HPV vaccination coverage before and after consultations for high-volume pediatric and family medicine clinics across three study conditions: traditional consultations (in-person group), virtual consultations (webinar group), or no consultations (control group). In each participating state, 30 clinics will be randomly assigned to each study arm, for a total of 90 clinics per state, or 270 clinics overall. The primary objective of this study is to compare the change in coverage for HPV vaccine initiation among 11-12 year old patients, from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Secondarily, we will compare the change in coverage for other vaccines and age groups.
NCT01993641
The purpose of this open label study is to determine whether combining pracinostat (study drug) with Vidaza (azacitidine) or Dacogen (decitabine) will improve clinical responses in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) patients who have failed an initial single agent hypomethylating agent (HMA), and to provide additional safety and efficacy data.
NCT00057785
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may cause less damage to normal tissue, prevent or lessen mouth dryness, and may help patients live more comfortably. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of specialized radiation therapy techniques with or without chemotherapy in reducing mouth dryness in patients who have nasopharyngeal cancer.
NCT00397930
RATIONALE: Yoga may help improve sleep, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well yoga works in treating sleep disturbance in cancer survivors.
NCT00098241
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RAD001 (Certican) administered to pediatric renal transplant recipients, and to provide additional safety data.
NCT01081834
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 different doses of canagliflozin administered as monotherapy compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with diet and exercise.
NCT01731938
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of fibrin sealant (FS) Grifols in patients undergoing elective (non-emergency) soft tissue open surgery where bleeding may be present. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that FS Grifols is not inferior to commercially-available oxidized cellulose pads (Surgicel®) in providing benefit in the time to hemostasis (i.e, the stoppage of bleeding). This study has a Preliminary Part (I) for study teams to become familiar with the application of FS Grifols and a Primary Part (II) to assess the safety and efficacy of FS Grifols. In both parts of the study, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either FS Grifols or Surgicel.
NCT00986414
This phase IIb study is designed to determine the safe and efficacious dose or dose range of AFQ056 for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe Parkinson's disease with L-Dopa induced dyskinesias.
NCT00659789
Current management of HIV infection includes anti-retroviral therapy (ART). ART cannot cure the infection, making it a life-long treatment that requires sustained patient compliance and imposes significant individual and societal financial burdens on healthcare services. Furthermore, ART side effects often require medication that increases the inconveniences and financial burdens of HIV management. Of further concern is the emergence of viruses resistant to ART that can result in treatment failure. ART-free periods could provide substantial benefit. Vacc-4x is a peptide-based HIV immunotherapy that is proposed for prolongation of ART-free periods. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Vacc-4x immunotherapy can give safe ART-free period.
NCT02592993
Open-label, prospective study. Up to 60 healthy adult volunteers seeking facial acne scars treatment, males or females of 18 to 75 years of age, from up to 3 investigational sites.
NCT02144220
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and the value of providing care to individuals with Parkinson disease directly into their homes. The specific aims are: 1. To demonstrate the feasibility of conducting remote evaluations of patients with Parkinson disease nationally; 2. To measure the impact of remote care on each patient's ability to improve his or her quality of life (QoL) and better manage his or her Parkinson disease; and 3. To assess the long-term acceptability to patients in receiving ongoing care remotely via telemedicine.
NCT01044186
The purpose of this open-label, non-comparative, multi-center protocol was to further evaluate safety and to provide treatment with ICL670 to patients who had or were at risk of life threatening complications due to transfusional iron overload with a documented inability to tolerate any of the commercially available iron chelators due to severe toxicity rendering continued therapy either impossible or hazardous. Patients who were also ineligible for all on-going registration trials with ICL670 were included in the study. In exceptional cases, patients with a degree of iron overload which was not immediately life-threatening and who were ineligible for the registration trials were also enrolled provided they had a well-documented, sound justification for alternative chelation therapy.
NCT01127750
