NCT00401154
The study is about the effect of an exercise program using stationary bicycling for children with the spastic diplegic form of cerebral palsy. Spastic diplegia is a type of cerebral palsy that involves spasticity or "tightness" of the leg muscles. We hope to learn whether this type of exercise will allow the children to develop improved strength in the muscles that bend and straighten their knees, enhance their level of physical fitness, improve their ability to walk and improve their ability to perform other activities that are important to them. We hypothesize that children who participate in the stationary cycling intervention will gain strength in the muscles that bend and straighten their knees, will be able to complete a 600 yard walk run test (a test of endurance) more rapidly, and will improve their score on a test of function called the Gross Motor Function Measure (a test designed specifically for children with cerebral palsy).
NCT01578772
This research study is to see whether blood vessel function, an early sign of heart disease, improves in HIV-infected men and women who take telmisartan for 12 weeks. The investigators will be looking at how a blood vessel in the arm, called the brachial artery, changes in response to stress before and after taking telmisartan. To determine how well the blood vessel functions, the investigators will be using an ultrasound machine. Telmisartan is not an HIV medication. It is an FDA-approved medication designed to treat blood pressure, but has been shown to improve blood vessel function in HIV-negative people with and without high blood pressure. Telmisartan is made by Boehringer Ingelheim, and this trial is sponsored by The Campbell Foundation.
NCT01781013
The specific aims of the proposed study are to: 1. Develop the innovative depression care management technology, including the speech recognition technology for automated monitoring and patient prompts over time, automatic integration of the responses into the patient registry, and evidence-based decision-support algorithms for care actions; 2. Conduct the quasi-experiment in eight Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LAC-DHS) clinics to test the interventions; 3. Use mixed-method evaluation to assess the extent of the implementation of the interventions, the acceptance to the providers and to the patients, and the impact on adoption of depression screening and treatment management over time, utilization, and cost of healthcare services, and patient health outcomes; and 4. Conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the three study arms. Successful completion of the study will demonstrate which Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) adoption strategies are successful and why, their comparative cost-effectiveness, as well as which strategies are successful under which circumstances to inform system-wide implementation of same. Hypotheses of the Proposed Study The following are the main hypotheses of the study: 1. There will be statistically significant difference in the adoption of depression care screening and management over time among the three study groups. 1.1. The adoption rate will be Technology-supported care (TC) \> Supported Care (SC) \> Usual Care (UC). 2. There will be statistically significant difference in the depression symptom reduction, and better functional status, and quality of life among the three study groups. 2.1. The difference between the TC and the SC will not be statistically significant, but both will be greater than the UC group. 3. There will be statistically significant difference in the diabetes care process and outcomes among the three study groups. 3.1. The difference between the TC and the SC will not be statistically significant, but both will be greater than the UC group. 4. There will also be statistically significant differences in healthcare utilization among the three study groups, with least utilization in the TC group where the greatest level of technology is applied. 5. Of the three groups compared, the TC group will be the most cost-effective approach for accelerating adoption of the CER depression care results.
NCT01408303
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of adding Epanova (2 g or 4 g daily) to an optimal statin monotherapy for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol in subjects with persistent hypertriglyceridemia and high risk for cardiovascular disease.
NCT00081055
RATIONALE: OTI-010 may be effective for graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis (prevention) in patients who are undergoing donor peripheral stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies (cancer of the blood or bone marrow). PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well OTI-010 works in preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients who are undergoing donor peripheral stem cell transplantation for hematologic cancer.
NCT02087748
The purpose of this study is to evaluate analgesic efficacy of Topical Voltaren Gel (diclofenac sodium gel) 1% applied QID compared to Placebo in Subjects Experiencing Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.
NCT00813384
First in human, open-label, sequential dose escalation and expansion study of AMG 208 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
NCT00170547
This protocol is to compare the immune response of different influenza vaccines given by two different routes of administration in healthy adults ages 18 to 64 years.
NCT00050505
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effect of diluting smallpox vaccine, making a larger number of doses in case smallpox is released into the environment. A total of up to 927 healthy adults between the ages of 32 and 70 years who were already vaccinated against smallpox (but not since 1989) will volunteer for this study for up to 34 weeks and receive different strengths of vaccine. Some subjects may participate for longer if they choose to be revaccinated because the first vaccination does not take. The vaccine will be given by making small cuts in the skin and putting the vaccine into these cuts. After the screening visit, volunteers will be followed through study visits and follow up phone calls. Blood will be collected during some study visits to look at the immune system (body system that fights infection) response.
NCT01026233
The purpose of this study is to evaluate cardiac safety of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) in patients with CD30-positive cancers. The study will assess electrical activity of the heart before and after brentuximab vedotin administration. Patients who have stable or improving disease may receive up to 1 year of brentuximab vedotin treatment.
NCT01494077
The purpose of this research project is to determine if pancreatic cyst fluid can be diluted and provide an accurate Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) level. The investigators hypothesis is that pancreatic cyst fluid obtained by EUS-FNA can be diluted effectively and accurately for the measurement of CEA levels.
NCT00791479
This is a study to demonstrate that different doses of once-weekly LY2189265 injected subcutaneously will have dose proportional effect on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 12 weeks in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT01683383
Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) remains a major cause of death and severe disability despite advances in neonatal and perinatal medicine. Therapeutic hypothermia is the single most promising intervention for HIE. Reduction of brain temperature by 2° to 5°C has shown to be neuroprotective in newborn and adult animal models of brain ischemia. Therapeutic hypothermia instituted within 6 hours of birth has been shown to significantly improve survival and neurodevelopmental outcome in term newborns with HIE. Hypothermia is most effective if begun during the latent period, before the secondary energy failure. It is not known whether cooling initiated after 6 hours of age is effective. The goal of this proposal is to test the efficacy of the cooling device in achieving the target temperatures in patients with moderate to severe HIE during transport when compared with current practices.
NCT00798317
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin, administered as an intravitreal injection, in subjects with focal vitreomacular adhesion. In previously performed clinical trials, some patients treated with intravitreal microplasmin have had resolution of their underlying condition, including macular hole closure, without need for vitrectomy. This clinical trial is justified because the sponsor believes the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
NCT00649584
This study will examine the safety profile of SGN-35 alone and in combination with gemcitabine. The study will test increasing doses of SGN-35 given weekly to small groups of patients.
NCT00787995
