NCT03337477
The study is designed to determine if ZS 10g administered up to three times over 10h added to insulin and glucose in patients presenting with hyperkalemia will prove tolerable and efficacious. Patients will receive ZS or Placebo on top of standard of care treatment with insulin and glucose.
NCT01038557
The purpose of this study is to look at red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in trauma patients and evaluate for any differences between the age of the RBCs and how they were stored. The investigators will specifically look for the following differences between study groups: 1. the transfused red blood cells' ability to delivery oxygen to the tissues 2. differences in biochemical markers in subjects and units transfused, and 3. how the subject's internal organs are working and if they develop any infections
NCT01983969
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of azacitidine that can be given with vorinostat, gemcitabine, busulfan, and melphalan, with a stem cell transplant, and with or without rituximab. Researchers also want to learn about the safety and level of effectiveness of this combination.
NCT02640573
Sickle cell disease (SCD), specifically hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC), is a subtype of sickle cell disease with typically higher hemoglobin and milder or later disease complications. Sickle cell disease is a disorder in which red blood cells (RBCs) are abnormally shaped. This can result in painful episodes, serious infections, and damage to body organs. One medication used to treat sickle cell disease is hydroxyurea. Hydroxyurea therapy offers significant benefits for infants, children, and adolescents with sickle cell anemia. These include a reduction in the frequency of pain crises and acute chest syndrome (inflammation of the lungs). Hydroxyurea has been given to many HbSC patients but HbSC patients were not included in the large clinical trials used to test hydroxyurea in SCD, so less is known about how HbSC patients respond to hydroxyurea. The purpose of this research study is to see if hydroxyurea, a medication given to many patients with the most common type of sickle cell, those who are homozygous for the sickle mutation (HbSS), helps individuals who have HbSC. The investigators will see if it helps by giving a questionaire when the medication is started, and then every two months at a clinic visit. The questionaire, called the AdultsQLTM 3.0 Sickle Cell Disease Module, measures quality of life. The investigators will also see how hydroxyurea changes laboratory test numbers, and blood thickness.
NCT00823394
The goal of this research study is to learn if certain factors may affect cancer rates among African Americans. These factors include behavioral, social, and environmental factors including diet and physical activity, cigarette smoking, cancer screening, health care, neighborhood environment, and mental health.
NCT02383212

NCT02220842
This open-label, multicenter, global study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of intravenous atezolizumab (MPDL3280A) and obinutuzumab in participants with refractory or relapsed follicular lymphoma (FL) or atezolizumab and obinutuzumab or tazemetostat administered in participants with refractory or relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The anticipated duration of this study is approximately 4.5 years.
NCT02515097
This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a topical lotion when applied once daily to adult participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (defined as an Investigator's Global Assessment \[IGA\] score of 3 or 4).
NCT01065636
Obesity causes frailty in obese older adults by exacerbating the age-related decline in physical function. However, appropriate management of obesity in older adults is controversial. Weight loss without exercise could worsen frailty by accelerating the usual age-related decline in muscle and bone mass that leads to sarcopenia and osteopenia, respectively. Because of the important problem of frailty in obese older adults, it is important to determine the most efficacious approach in reducing, or even reversing frailty in this population. The primary objective of this proposal is to evaluate which distinct type of physical exercise (resistance, aerobic, or combined resistance + aerobic) is most efficacious in preventing the weight-loss-induced reduction in muscle and bone mass and reversing frailty in obese older adults.
NCT00532064
This trial studies how well cardiac biomarkers work in the early detection of cardiotoxicity in patients receiving sunitinib malate or sorafenib chemotherapy. Some chemotherapies are known to cause damage to heart muscle cells, resulting in heart failure. Often, the damage is not detected until heart failure has already occurred. Testing for cardiac biomarkers, such as troponin I and/or T and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), may be useful in detecting heart damage earlier than other tests currently performed (such as echocardiogram and electrocardiogram).
NCT01327846
Main Study (CACZ885M2301): The purpose of the pivotal phase of this trial was to test the hypothesis that canakinumab treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) at least one month prior to study entry and elevated hsCRP could prevent recurrent cardiovascular events. The purpose of the extension phase of the main study is to collect additional long-term safety data on continued exposure to canakinumab in patients who participated in the pivotal phase. Sub-study 1 (CACZ885M2301S1): The purpose of this sub-study was to evaluate the effect of quarterly subcutaneous canakinumab treatment for 24 months comparted with placebo on the carotid plaque burden measured by integrated vascular MRI in patients enrolled in the CACZ885M2301 study (CANTOS). Sub-study 2 (CACZ885M2301S2): The purpose of this CANTOS sub-study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes participating in the CANTOS main study, canakinumab compared to placebo, on top of standard of care could increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
NCT03136484
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America. The aim of the trial is to compare the effect of once-weekly (OW) dosing of subcutaneous semaglutide (1.0 mg) versus once-daily dosing of oral canagliflozin (300 mg) on glycaemic control in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on a background treatment of metformin
NCT02138136
This study is for children with constipation. Children who completed 3 months of treatment in the earlier study (NCT02042183): * were invited to participate * will receive lubiprostone for 9 more months * will see if lubiprostone safely relieves their constipation if taken for a whole year
NCT03226444
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two strengths of Lacripep™ ophthalmic solution versus placebo administered three times daily for four weeks in subjects with a diagnosis of Dry Eye associated with documented Primary Sjögren's Syndrome
NCT01297322
The objective of this trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Cardiva VASCADE™ Vascular Closure System (VCS) in sealing femoral arterial access sites. Hypothesis: The Cardiva VASCADE™ VCS provides times to hemostasis (TTH) and time to ambulation (TTA) results that are less than manual compression by a clinically meaningful and statistically significant margin. The rate of major access site-related complications with the Cardiva VASCADE™ VCS is non-inferior to the major complication rates of manual compression for sealing femoral arterial access sites.
NCT01484275
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of siltuximab compared with placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial) in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM).
NCT03096314
Vitamin D deficiency is a common, potentially reversible contributor to morbidity and mortality among critically ill patients. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial of early vitamin D3 supplementation in critically ill, vitamin D-deficient patients who were at high risk for death. Patients screened as vitamin D deficient (\<20 ng/mL) were randomized. Randomization occurred within 12 hours after the decision to admit the patient to an intensive care unit. Eligible patients received a single enteral dose of 540,000 IU of vitamin D3 or matched placebo. The primary end point was 90-day all-cause, all-location mortality.
NCT01582529
The purpose of this study is to learn about the relationship between family factors and developmental and psychosocial outcomes in children with congenital heart disease at 6 years of age. A secondary purpose is to learn more about psychosocial outcomes in children with congenital heart disease and their families over time. About 250 mothers and fathers at 15 medical centers will take part in this study; 35 will be from Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
NCT00602836
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pentostatin and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving rituximab together with combination chemotherapy and lenalidomide may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving rituximab together with pentostatin, cyclophosphamide, and lenalidomide works in treating patients with previously untreated B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.
NCT00342316
This study compares overall survival between patients with acute myeloid leukemia, who are in complete remission following initial treatment with chemotherapy and whose remission is maintained either with a transplantation of stem cells obtained from a sibling or unrelated donor or with standard treatment, which is additional chemotherapy. The study hypothesis is that the group transplanted with stem cells from a donor will have a superior survival compared with patients treated with standard of care.
