NCT00541658
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy of a 35 mg delayed release weekly dosing regimen as compared to the standard daily dosing regimen of risedronate 5 mg daily.
NCT00999245
Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) means that the patient is in control of his/her pain medicine. In this study two (2) different treatment plans of Patient-Controlled Analgesia will be used to treat people with sickle cell disease who are admitted to the hospital for a pain crisis. The purpose of this study is to find out if one plan is better than the other in controlling sickle cell pain. If you are eligible for the study, you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to either get a higher continuous amount of the pain medicine with a smaller amount for pain as you need it, OR to get a smaller continuous amount of pain medicine with a larger amount of pain medicine as you need it. You or your study doctor can not choose which plan you receive, and you will not be told which one you have been assigned to. The doctors and nurses taking care of you will know which plan you are assigned to so they can safely and effectively take care of your pain. Some members of the study team will not know which plan you are on. We will give you morphine sulfate or hydromorphone (dilaudid) for your pain. These medicines are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have been used for a long time to relieve pain. If you have been treated for pain before with hydromorphone (dilaudid) and you prefer it to morphine, then you may choose to get it during the study. If you have not received hydromorphone (dilaudid) before or you do not have a preference then you will be given morphine for pain. The pain medicine will be given through the IV in your arm. You will receive morphine or hydromorphone continuously through the IV and will also be able to use the PCA machine to give yourself extra pain medicine as you need it for pain. You will need to push a button to give yourself extra medicine for pain. The amount of pain medicine you get on these plans is based on how much you weigh.
NCT00003386
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from tumor tissue may make the body build an immune response and kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer.
NCT00897858
RATIONALE: Studying samples of cerebrospinal fluid from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is studying cerebrospinal fluid proteins and angiogenesis proteins in young patients with newly diagnosed central nervous system tumors.
NCT00035581
This is an open-label, prospective, randomized, controlled study of the safety and efficacy including clinical, immunologic, and virologic assessments of adding Ampligen to "HAART" in HIV infected patients with CD4 counts \>300 and HIV-1 plasma RNA \>500 and \<30,000 copies/ml (PCR).
NCT00035893
This is an open-label, prospective, randomized, controlled study of the safety and efficacy including clinical, immunologic, and virologic assessments of adding Ampligen to a Strategic Therapeutic Intervention (STI) of HAART in patients with plasma HIV RNA \< 50 copies/ml (PCR) and CD4 levels \> 400.
NCT00277355
This study is being conducted to assess the impact of minocycline on the progression of symptoms of HD. The study will also assess whether it is reasonable to continue with further study of minocycline in HD. We will measure the effect of minocycline on HD by measuring the change in Huntington's disease symptoms.
NCT00615056
The study is designed to demonstrate that the combination of AG-013736 with either FOLFIRI or FOLFOX is superior to FOLFIRI or FOLFOX in combination with bevacizumab (Avastin) in delaying tumor progression in the second-line treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of an irinotecan or oxaliplatin-containing first-line regimen.
NCT00218335
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a peer-based HIV prevention intervention that targets active injection drug users and their drug and sex partners.
NCT00021333
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel and cisplatin plus radiation therapy followed by filgrastim in treating patients who have recurrent head and neck cancer or lung cancer.
NCT01143077
Lurasidone (lurasidone HCl) is a novel psychotropic agent that is being developed as a potential new antipsychotic treatment for patients with schizophrenia. Switching between antipsychotic medications is common in the treatment of schizophrenia. The current study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of switching clinically stable, but symptomatic outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder from their preswitch antipsychotic medication to lurasidone, over a period of 6 weeks.
NCT00313781
To test the efficacy of CP-751,871 combined with docetaxel and prednisone in the treatment of prostate cancer that is refractory to hormone therapy
NCT00003908
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of docetaxel plus carboplatin in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer.
NCT00581607
Patients with advanced sarcoidosis often develop pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a condition where the right side of the heart has to push the blood though the lungs at a higher pressure than normal. Since this pressure is higher, it is harder for the heart to pump the blood through the lungs to the left side of the body. If the blood can not get through the lungs, it can not get pumped through the rest of the body. This leads to weakness and shortness of breath. This type of hypertension does not usually respond to regular blood pressure medicines. The purpose of this study is to determine if bosentan (Tracleer) will help sarcoidosis associated pulmonary hypertension.
NCT00909545
The primary purpose of this study is to establish a dosage of isradipine CR that is tolerable and demonstrates preliminary efficacy for utilization in future pivotal efficacy studies.
NCT00097721
The purpose of this study is to determine if E7389 is a safe and effective treatment for advanced/metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00331214
This study is designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of a testosterone patch as treatment for low libido in surgically menopausal women who are taking estrogen therapy.
NCT00924469
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of abiraterone acetate plus leuprolide acetate and prednisone, versus leuprolide acetate alone in male participants with prostate cancer (a disease in which cells in the prostate gland become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors) who are suitable candidates for prostatectomy (surgery to remove all or part of the prostate gland).
NCT01171404
The aim of this international study is to describe the short- and long-term (i.e. up to 2 years following the index event) antithrombotic management patterns (AMPs) in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndromes (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS)), and to document the impact of AMPs in clinical outcomes, economic variables and quality of life in a 'real-life' setting and to compare these between sites, countries and regions.
NCT00600535
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the drug concentrations change over time) of capsule and tablet formulations of CB7630 (abiraterone acetate) taken with and without food in patients with prostate cancer.
