NCT00854789
The objectives of this study are the following: 1. To assess safety and document local and systemic toxicity to the peptide vaccine (E75) in node-negative breast cancer patients. 2. To determine the optimal dose of the immunoadjuvant, GM-CSF, necessary to elicit an in vivo cellular immune response to the peptide vaccine yet limit toxicity. 3. To determine the optimal inoculation schedule to elicit an in vivo cellular immune response to the peptide vaccine. 4. To correlate the efficiency of eliciting an in vivo cellular immune response to the peptide vaccine with the degree of HER2/neu expression in the patient's tumor.
NCT00690131
This 3-year study will involve the design and small-scale clinical trial of a behavioral treatment program for smoking cessation in people with severe mental illness (called Behavioral Treatment for Smoking Cessation in Serious and Persistent Mental Illness or BTSCS) in two psychosocial rehabilitation programs (PRPs) in Baltimore. Our aims are: (1) Develop intervention materials and examine feasibility, acceptability, and safety; (2) Measure the effects of the intervention at post-treatment and 3-month follow-up on rates of smoking cessation, number of quit attempts, rates of smoking reduction and intention/motivation to quit smoking.
NCT03367520
Given the high prevalence and great cost of smoking for individuals with serious mental illness, an effective smoking cessation intervention for this group of smokers that begins in the hospital and continues following discharge is needed. The investigators will develop and pilot test StayQuit, a multifaceted smoking cessation intervention for smokers with serious mental illness that begins in the hospital and continues for three months after discharge. StayQuit will provide a personalized and tailored experience for smokers with serious mental illness at different levels of motivation to remain abstinent. In the hospital, StayQuit will include a brief motivational intervention that will help smokers relate sustained smoking cessation to their values and preferences, shore up motivation to stay quit, and gain experience using nicotine replacement therapy. This will be followed by cessation-focused discharge planning to engage Veterans in continued smoking cessation services with StayQuit staff. After discharge, StayQuit will offer 13 weeks (spread out over 3 months) of smoking cessation telephone counseling. The investigators will examine the feasibility of StayQuit by collecting both quantitative data on attendance and qualitative data on participants' experiences.
NCT01245673
One purpose of this study is to find out if a new combination of immune system treatments (MAGE-A3 vaccine plus activated T-cells) will allow the body to build up protection ("immunity") against the myeloma cells. A second purpose is to find out how well this combination of immune system treatments is able to control the myeloma.
NCT02470806
The aim of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of two types of NPWT systems; the traditional negative pressure wound therapy (tNPWT) system and the single-use negative pressure wound therapy (PICO) system.
NCT04118842
This is a phase I, open-label, 3 treatment period, fixed-sequence study in healthy non-Japanese male subjects, aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive), performed at a single study centre. Treatment Period 1 will establish the single dose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of savolitinib. Dosing of daily rifampicin during Treatment Period 2 will result in maximal induction of the CYP450 enzymes including CYP3A4. Treatment Period 3 will then establish the single dose PK profile of savolitinib under maximum CYP450 induction conditions. Comparison of the PK profile of savolitinib between Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 3 will quantify the effect of CYP450 enzyme induction.
NCT03728738
Placing the head of bed (HOB) at 0-degrees has been shown in small studies to improve blood flow to the brain in patients with ischemic stroke caused by large artery occlusions, thereby reducing stroke symptom worsening. This simple yet potentially impactful intervention has yet to be tested in a large clinical trial in hyperacute large artery ischemic stroke patients, but may provide nurses with a powerful contribution to acute stroke care that is capable of preventing worsening of stroke symptoms and promoting stabilization. Because stroke is the leading cause of preventable long-term disability in adults, this study may show that simple methods such as 0-degree HOB positioning should be considered one of the very first actions taken in the emergent management of acute ischemic stroke patients.
NCT00294112
Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), derived from healthy adult volunteer human donors, can be obtained from bone marrow donation and cultured in the laboratory. MSCs have shown the ability to find injured tissue, reduce and control inflammation, and assist in tissue repair. Prochymal™ MSCs will be infused into patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. Infusions will occur on two separate days, 7-10 days apart. Patients will be monitored for reduced Crohn's disease symptoms.
NCT02988115
The purpose of this study is to determine if bempedoic acid (ETC-1002) is effective and safe versus placebo in patients with elevated LDL cholesterol and who are statin-intolerant.
NCT00855595
Subjects with moderate papulopustular rosacea will be treated either with azelaic acid 15% gel topically plus an anti-inflammatory dose of doxycyline (40mg) daily or with metronidazole 1% gel topically once daily plus an anti-inflammatory dose of doxycycline (40mg) over at total of twelve weeks to determine the rapidity of improvement, and the length of time to reach 25%, 50% and 75% clearing compared to baseline.
NCT01734317
Approximately 10 subjects from one clinic having sustained a burn injury covering 1-25% or the Total Body surface Area (TBSA)and assessed as superficial partial-thickness or superficial deep-partial-thickness. The subject will be assessed once a week for a maximum of 3 weeks or until the burn is healed if that occurs earlier. . The dressing Mepilex Transfer Ag will be used as wound contact layer and gauze rolls and compression as second dressing.
NCT03671512
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Periodontal Structure Repair device (PSR) compared to conventional periodontal therapy (scaling and root planing) for the treatment of periodontal pockets caused by periodontal disease.
NCT00774137
People who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or heart valve surgery may experience acute kidney injury (AKI) after their surgery. Current medical tests cannot identify AKI until approximately 48 hours after it occurs. This study will examine three new biomarkers in blood and urine that may provide a more effective and faster way of predicting AKI in people who undergo CABG or heart valve surgery.
NCT00006229
