NCT00789958
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine together with gemcitabine followed by capecitabine and radiation therapy works in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma of the gallbladder or bile duct.
NCT01781806

The addition of lenalidomide to docetaxel and prednisone is proposed to increase the life expectancy of these subjects.
NCT01654965
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of tivantinib and topotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Tivantinib and topotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT00105521
The purpose of this study is to test multiple doses of sarizotan to establish a dose with maximal safety and efficacy for treating treatment associated dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease participants.
NCT00949923
Prognostic factors for breast cancer beyond stage at diagnosis and tumor characteristics have not been well studied. Of special interest are lifestyle factors that can be modified by women after diagnosis to increase disease-free survival. Green tea is rich in polyphenols consisting primarily of epicatechins, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). The investigators hypothesize that there will be a reduction in proliferation and/or an increase in apoptosis in association with short-term EGCG treatment.
NCT01887678
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a combined Traumeel® / Zeel® injection against placebo (saline) in patients with moderate-to-severe pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.
NCT01503853
Background: \- The costs of medical care have a major effect on patients during illness and treatment. Surveys with patients and doctors show that both are interested in discussing the costs of treatment. But they rarely talk about these issues. Both worry about whether it is appropriate to discuss financial matters in the clinical setting. They are also concerned about whether this topic will be an awkward one. Researchers are interested in studying how people want their doctors to talk to them about the costs of illness and medical care. Objectives: \- To explore and better understand patients views on whether and how doctors should talk about the costs of illness and medical care. Eligibility: \- English- or Spanish-speaking adults (at least 18 years of age) who are covered by health insurance. Design: * Participants will be asked to take part in a 2 1/2-hour focus group. Ten to 12 people will come together to discuss their thoughts and opinions. * A member of the research team will lead the group discussion. The leader will ask a list of questions about health care payment issues. Those in the focus group will discuss these issues. * Participants will receive a small cash payment and a light snack.
NCT02558829
The Macimorelin Growth Hormone Stimulation Test (GHST) will be compared with the Insulin Tolerance Test (ITT) in an open-label, randomized, 2-way crossover Trial. The trial will include subjects suspected to have adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) and a group of healthy control subjects.
NCT03369964
This study will investigate the safety, pharmacology, and activity of atezolizumab in combination with immunotherapy agents with or without an anti-CD20 agent (i.e., obinutuzumab) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). The first immunotherapy molecule investigated will be emactuzumab (Arm A) in two combinations.
NCT02465450
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of JBT-101 in adult subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF).
NCT01680341
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe and the United States of America (USA). The aim of the trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of two different titration algorithms for insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDeg/IAsp) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus previously treated with insulin glargine.
NCT02487498
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the efficacy of the combination product QVA149 is similar to the efficacy of the combination product umeclidinium/vilanterol on a pre-specified endpoint of FEV1 AUC0-24h while maintaining an acceptable safety profile.
NCT02013258
Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) have been found to have a deficit of oxytocin-producing neurons and decreased oxytocin receptor gene function, so the purpose of this study is to determine if oxytocin (OT) administration will improve some of the aspects of Prader-Willi syndrome that are particularly troublesome for children and their families (the insatiable appetite and social behaviors). The research questions are: 1. Does intranasal oxytocin cause any side effects in children with PWS? 2. Does intranasal oxytocin administration alter appetite or behaviors in PWS?
NCT03490786
Dose escalation study of GT-001
NCT01461668
The investigators will conduct a randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded study of nasal decolonization with retapamulin vs. placebo for the eradication of MRSA nasal carriage among adult carriers with low-level (MIC 8-256) and high-level mupirocin resistant (MIC \>256) strains. Objectives: 1. To determine the percent of intervention vs. control patients with successful MRSA nasal decolonization as determined by bilateral nares swabs following a 5-day twice-a-day regimen of retapamulin. 2. To determine the time to decolonization based upon interim and final bilateral nares swabs. 3. To determine the acceptability of retapamulin by surveying participants about their experience and adverse events experienced during this study. The duration of participant follow-up is expected to last up to 7 weeks. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Altabax (retapamulin) during decolonization of MRSA carriers with mupirocin-resistant strains, stratified by low-level and high-level resistance to mupirocin. Mupirocin resistance is increasingly common and there is no approved substitute topical agent for decolonization of the MRSA nasal reservoir.

NCT00987714
The objective of this study is to determine whether protocol guided resuscitation of brain dead organ donors using Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) will increase the number of organs transplanted per donor. Specifically the study aims to: 1. improve resuscitation of potential organ donors. 2. improve organ function in donors. 3. increase organ recovery per donor. The investigators will randomize 960 subjects to either protocolized resuscitation (n=480) using a consensus-based PPV-guided algorithm or usual care using a 1:1 randomization scheme. The primary outcome is the mean number of organs transplanted per donor. Secondary outcomes include 6mHFS (six-month hospital-free survival) in the recipients, and mean number of organs procured per donor that are suitable for transplantation (intention to transplant). The study is powered to detect a 0.5 organ increase for transplantation per donor.
