NCT00069004
The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic and physical abnormalities in HIV infected (via mother-to-child transmission) and uninfected children and youth. Metabolism, body composition, bone density, and other factors will be assessed in relationship to participants' exposure to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
NCT00389675
This is a double-blind, active-controlled, long-term study of a new experimental drug called darusentan. Darusentan in not currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means that a doctor cannot prescribe this drug. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of darusentan (optimized dose) as compared to an active control, administered orally.
NCT00004025
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells combined with melanoma antigens may make the body build an immune response to tumor cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill melanoma cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 may be an effective treatment for stage III or stage IV melanoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy with or without interleukin-2 in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be surgically removed.
NCT00794586
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 2 dose combinations of fosfomycin/tobramycin for inhalation (FTI), following a 28-day course of Aztreonam for Inhalation (AZLI) in patients with cystic fibrosis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection.
NCT00370981
The purpose of this study is to evaluate pagoclone in the treatment of premature ejaculation.
NCT00074984
People with Fabry disease have an alteration in their genetic material (DNA) which causes a deficiency of the a-galactosidase A enzyme. Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) is a drug that helps to breakdown and remove certain types of fatty substances called "glycolipids." These glycolipids are normally present within the body in most cells. In Fabry disease, glycolipids build up in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, skin, and blood vessels because a-galactosidase A is not present, or is present in small quantities. The build up of glycolipid ("globotriaosylceramide" or "GL-3") levels in these tissues in particular is thought to cause the clinical symptoms that are common to Fabry disease. This study will test the safety and efficacy of Fabrazyme in the treatment of patients with Fabry disease.
NCT00132314
In the proposed study 450 veterans with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia who had at least one psychiatric hospitalization for schizophrenia in the previous 2 years would be randomly assigned at 16 VA medical centers to long-acting injectable risperidone or doctor's choice of oral antipsychotic medication (i.e., excluding other long-acting injectable medications, but not specifying any particular oral agents or dosages). Recruitment would take 27 months to complete, and the study would continue for a third year to allow 9 months of follow-up for the last patient recruited. All patients would be treated from the time of entry up to the end of the three-year study period. Follow-up assessments would continue quarterly. Treatments would not be blinded since giving placebo injections to the comparison group would interfere with the goal of comparing the acceptability of two different methods of medication administration. However, end points will be blindly rated.
NCT00128583
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying vaccine therapy to see how well it works in treating patients with malignant melanoma.
NCT01001559
This is a retrospective chart review study to determine if Deplin® 7.5mg-15mg combined with an antidepressant is better than an antidepressant alone in adults with major depression.
NCT01513863
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that metronidazole 1% topical gel is effective for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe rosacea.
NCT00008281
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy is more effective for metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of three chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00012389
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if irinotecan is more effective with or without oxaliplatin in treating metastatic colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of irinotecan with or without oxaliplatin in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00525512
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects on exercise duration of 96 weeks treatment with 18 mcg tiotropium (Spiriva HandiHaler) daily as compared to placebo, in patients with COPD.
NCT00036985
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Microwave thermotherapy kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above body temperature. Combining chemotherapy with microwave thermotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without microwave thermotherapy before surgery in treating women who have locally advanced breast cancer.
NCT00027833
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tetanus toxoid may make tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy and vaccine therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and vaccine therapy with or without tetanus toxoid compared with chemotherapy alone in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00961051
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational multi-purpose contact lens solution.
NCT00242710
The purpose of this study is to determine whether bazedoxifene/conjugated estrogens combinations are effective for the prevention of endometrial hyperplasia and for the prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
NCT00291057
In a previous phase II study, the safety and efficacy of a novel formulation of malathion 0.5% was evaluated in patients 2 years of age and older. Based on the results of that study, this formulation is currently in a phase III study for that population. The current study will use blood markers and clinical evaluations to determine the safety and tolerability of this formulation when used in children 6-24 months of age.
NCT00312208
Primary objective : * To compare disease-free survival after treatment with docetaxel in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel in operable adjuvant breast cancer HER2neu negative patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Secondary objectives : * To compare toxicity and quality of life between the 2 above-mentioned arms. * To evaluate pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy.
NCT00651027
The metabolism of PF-00868554 is primarily mediated by CYP3A, and it is anticipated that hepatic impairment will modify PF-00868554 plasma concentrations. Hence, it is important to determine the impact of varying degrees of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics, safety and toleration of 200 mg PF-00868554 administered as a single-dose.
