NCT02891070
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FS VH S/D 500 s-apr for use as an adjunct to sutured dural repair in cranial surgery.
NCT01842581
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if rifaximin alone or rifaximin plus lactulose delays the onset of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in participants with cirrhosis who have had a previous episode of HE.
NCT00620321
The purpose of this study is to understand the safety profile of LY2181308 sodium administered in combination with idarubicin and cytarabine to patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
NCT01287585
This is a study of ADI-PEG 20 (pegylated arginine deiminase), an arginine degrading enzyme versus placebo in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have failed prior systemic treatment (chemotherapy). Hepatocellular carcinomas have been found to require arginine, an amino acid. Thus the hypothesis is that by restricting arginine with ADI-PEG 20, the hepatocellular carcinoma cells will starve and die.
NCT02239120
This trial will enroll approximately 6,000 patients with recent embolic stroke of unknown source (ESUS). Patients will be randomized to dabigatran or acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) (1:1 ratio) and have visits every three months. The study doctor may prescribe blinded concomitant ASA for pts with coronary artery disease but this is not mandatory. All Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), outcome events will be recorded. The trial will conclude when the required number of stroke events are positively adjudicated which is estimated to take 3 years (including 2.5 years of enrollment).
NCT03988114
The reason for this study is to see if the drug abemaciclib in combination with nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors (anastrozole or letrozole) is effective in participants with Hormone Receptor Positive (HR+), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer that have certain disease characteristics.
NCT03212521
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glecaprevir(GLE)/pibrentasvir(PIB) in treatment-naïve participants with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes 1-6 infection and with an aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) of less than or equal to 1.
NCT03546673
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with the aim of determining the cultural sensitivity, feasibility, and effectiveness of an expressive writing intervention for Chinese breast cancer survivors.
NCT02946619
NCT02307240
This is a Phase I, open-label, multi-center trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of CUDC-907 administered orally to subjects with advanced/relapsed solid tumors.
NCT00925808
This is a prospective study with the following objectives: Primary Objective: 1. To estimate the prevalence of unsuspected VTE in oncology patients on routine staging CT scans of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis. Secondary Objectives: 2. To identify symptoms commonly associated with VTE that are present in cancer patients undergoing routine staging CT scans with findings of unsuspected VTE. 3. To identify the risk factors and demographic characteristics in outpatient cancer patients associated with the development of unsuspected VTE. 4. To determine the incidence of recurrence of new VTE in patients with unsuspected VTE at 3 and 6 months of follow-up.
NCT03517514
This is a dissertation study which is divided into three different studies in order to answer the main research question (Study 3). The primary aim of this research (dissertation) is to investigate all-cause 30-day hospital readmission using functional mobility (5mWT, 30STS, 6MWT, TUG), psychosocial attributes (KCCQ-12, HADS, ESSI), adherence to home exercise program, participation in a supervised exercise program, and number of follow up checkups with physicians or advanced health providers of patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) diagnosis who were discharged from a tertiary teaching hospital. Study 1: What is the effect of acute physical therapy on functional ability in individuals admitted with ADHF? Study 2: What is the effect of acute physical therapy on psychosocial attributes in individuals admitted with ADHF? Study 3: Which factors such as functional mobility (5mWT, 30STS, 6MWT, TUG), psychosocial attributes (KCCQ-12, HADS, ESSI), adherence to home exercise program, participation in a supervised exercise program, and number of follow up checkups with physicians or advanced health providers predict all-cause 30-day hospital readmission in patients discharged from a tertiary, teaching hospital with ADHF diagnosis?
NCT01504126
This early phase I trial studies giving propranolol hydrochloride with standard chemotherapy in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Biological therapies, such as propranolol hydrochloride, blocks certain chemicals that affect the heart and this may stimulate the immune system and allow the chemotherapy to kill more tumor cells.
NCT01447914
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well tivantinib works in treating patients with relapsed, or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Tivantinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT02240121
The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of rifaximin DR also referred to as Extended Intestinal Release (EIR) tablets vs. placebo for the induction of clinical remission and endoscopic response following 16 weeks of treatment in participants presenting with active moderate Crohn's disease. A key secondary objective is to evaluate clinical and endoscopic remission following an additional 36 weeks of treatment.
NCT02556645
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy and potential biological mechanisms of action of 10 sessions of a web-version of Prolonged Exposure (PE), "Web-PE," delivered over 8-weeks to 10 sessions of Present Centered Treatment (PCT) delivered over 8-weeks by a therapist in 120 active duty military personnel with PTSD. Up to 170 individuals will be consented to obtain data from 120 for analysis. Participants will be assessed at pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and 1-, 3- and 6-months after treatment completion.
NCT02182986
Solid organ transplantation is an important therapeutic option for children with a variety of end stage diseases. However, the same immunosuppressive medications that are required to prevent the child's immune system from attacking and rejecting the transplanted organ can predispose these individuals to developing a very serious cancer that is linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
NCT02082522
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a combination of a drug, porfimer sodium (Photofrin), which is activated by a light from a laser that emits no heat. This technique works to allow the medical doctor to specifically target and destroy abnormal or cancer cells while limiting damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The activation of the drug is done by lighting the abnormal areas using a fiber optic device (very fine fiber like a fishing line that permits light transmission) inserted into a flexible tube with a light called cholangioscope for the bile duct. The light will activate the porfimer sodium concentrated in the abnormal tissue, leading to its destruction. This research study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of PDT with porfimer sodium administered with Standard Medical Care (SMC) compared to SMC alone on the overall survival time of patients with non-operable advanced cholangiocarcinoma, a rare cancer of the bile ducts. It will involve 200 patients across North America and Europe. Other countries may participate if needed. Participation will last at least 18 months.

Secondary Objective: Device-related: * To collect real-use (usability) data assessing the robustness and user interaction of SYDNEY and the current alirocumab auto-injector device (which is referred to as AI) in supervised settings. Pharmacokinetics: * To compare alirocumab pharmacokinetics (PK) administered using SYDNEY and AI. * To evaluate alirocumab PK administered using SYDNEY. Anti-drug antibodies: * To evaluate the development of anti-drug (alirocumab) antibodies (ADA). Efficacy/pharmacodynamics: * To compare the percent and absolute change in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) using SYDNEY and AI. * To evaluate the percent and absolute change in LDL-C using SYDNEY. Safety: * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab using both SYDNEY and AI.
