NCT02585778
Primary Objectives: * To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with placebo in the reduction of calculated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in participants with diabetes treated with insulin and with hypercholesterolemia at high cardiovascular risk not adequately controlled on maximally tolerated LDL-C lowering therapy. * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab in participants with diabetes treated with insulin. Secondary Objective: To demonstrate that alirocumab was superior in comparison to placebo in its effects on other lipid parameters (i.e., measured LDL-C, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol \[non-HDL-C\], apolipoprotein B \[Apo B\], total cholesterol \[TC\], lipoprotein a \[Lp(a)\], high density lipoprotein cholesterol \[HDL-C\], triglyceride \[TG\] levels, triglyceride rich lipoproteins \[TGRL\], apolipoprotein A-1 \[Apo A-1\], apolipoprotein C-III \[Apo C-III\], and LDL particle number and size).
NCT01200589
This was a multi-center, parallel, active comparator controlled, open-label, randomized (1:1) phase III study of single agent ofatumumab compared to single agent rituximab in subjects with rituximab-sensitive indolent B-cell non hodgkin lymphoma that has relapsed at least 6 months after completing treatment with single agent rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen. Subjects must have attained a Complete Response or Partial Response to their last prior rituximab containing therapy lasting at least six months beyond the end of rituximab therapy. Subjects were to receive four weekly doses of single agent ofatumumab (1000 mg) or rituximab (375 mg/m2), followed by ofatumumab (1000 mg) or rituximab (375 mg/m2) every 2 months for four additional doses. Therefore, subjects were to receive a total of eight doses of anti-CD20 antibody over 9 months. Subjects were evaluated for response after completion of the first four doses of therapy, after six doses of therapy, and after completion of study therapy. Subjects were to be followed until the end of the designated follow-up period (total study duration of 200 weeks) or until they meet the withdrawal criteria. The primary objective of the study OMB157D 2303 was to demonstrate the efficacy of Arzerra based on the primary endpoint (Progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by the IRC) in patients with Indolent B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Relapsed After Rituximab-Containing Regimen. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) met on November 22, 2015 and recommended the termination of the study due to futility (cut-off date = 12Jun2015). The IDMC reviewed analyses results for progression free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and overall survival (OS). Novartis accepted this recommendation and the study was closed. Final analysis was performed (cut-off date =19 Dec 2016). As the study was stopped for futility, the primary objective was not met and some secondary endpoints, supportive of primary objective (Duration of Response (DOR), time to next therapy, and pharmacokinetics) were removed as secondary end points.

NCT01866592
VIP-E is a one-arm, open-label, 40-52 week extension study to continue or cross over subjects of the VIP study (# 814278) to active drug (adalimumab) to determine if there is sustained improvement in vascular inflammation, lipid metabolism, and inflammatory markers. VIP-E extends VIP study procedures for 40-52 weeks including questionnaires, physical exams, blood and urine samples, lab tests, one additional FDG-PET/CT scan, and adalimumab injections following FDA-approved psoriasis treatment regimen.
NCT01553058
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of adalimumab (Humira), when compared to NB-UVB (narrow-band ultraviolet B) phototherapy or placebo (an inactive substance that may resemble an active substance but has no medical value) injection. The study will compare the effects of each on systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk factors in subjects diagnosed with moderate to severe psoriasis. This study will look for systemic vascular inflammation in subjects with a test called FDG-PET/CT (Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography). The study will also look for cardio metabolic (heart disease and metabolic factors such as diabetes) identifiers in the blood. A blood sample will be taken that will look for these markers identifying high cholesterol, cholesterol efflux function (the ability of cholesterol to move in the body), metabolic factors, and inflammation. This study will also assess the effect of adalimumab (Humira), when compared to NB-UVB phototherapy or placebo injection on psoriasis activity and severity. The study will also compare the safety of adalimumab (Humira) to NB-UVB phototherapy or placebo injection. This study will also evaluate subjects' reported outcomes through a questionnaire that will assess quality-of-life in subjects living with psoriasis.
NCT01252628
The purpose of this Phase 1/2 open-label study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a cetuximab and PX-866 combination treatment. In the Phase 1 part of the study, the dose of PX-866 to be given in combination with cetuximab will be determined in patients with incurable metastatic CRC or incurable progressive, recurrent or metastatic SCCHN. The Phase 2 part of the study is a randomized evaluation of the antitumor activity and safety of PX-866 in combination with cetuximab versus cetuximab alone in patients with either incurable metastatic CRC who have a history of progression or recurrence following prior irinotecan and oxaliplatin containing regimens or are intolerant of irinotecan (Group 1) or incurable progressive, recurrent or metastatic SCCHN (Group 2).
NCT02996903
The "Prospective Multicenter Registry On RadiaTion Dose Estimates Of Cardiac CT AngIOgraphy IN Daily Practice in 2017" (PROTECTION-VI) study is a prospective registry and investigator-initiated initiative without third-party funding, which will collect and analyze the radiation dose exposure of Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiographic (CCTA) studies in current daily practice worldwide. Particularly, the study will assess the use of strategies for dose reduction during CCTA. A decade ago, the multicentre observational PROTECTION-I study has revealed that the dose-length-product of CCTA ranges between 568 - 1259 mGy x cm with a median of 885 mGy x cm. This corresponds to an estimated effective dose of approximately 12 mSv. Since then a variety of techniques have been developed and enhanced in order to reduce radiation exposure during CCTA. Recent studies demonstrated feasibility of dramatically reduced effective radiation doses during CCTA (0,1 - 0,3 mSv). This has been executed in small cohorts of patients at scientific expert centers. However, it remains unclear, if such low-level radiation dose exposure may be achieved in clinical routine and if diagnostic image quality is maintained. In order to analyze the magnitude of radiation dose exposure of CCTA in today's clinical practice and the current use of dose-saving techniques, we designed the PROTECTION-VI study. Eventually, this study may contribute to further improving radiation dose exposure for patients undergoing CCTA.
NCT01730105
Background: \- Researchers are studying how metabolism and hormone levels change in response to mild changes in environmental temperature. Changes in metabolism may lessen with time because of hormonal adaptations. If this increase in metabolism continues for a longer period, mild cold exposure may cause weight loss. It is unclear whether exposure to a warmer temperature may cause opposite changes in metabolism. Researchers want to see if longer exposure (1 month) to different temperatures can affect how the body uses energy. Objectives: \- To test changes in energy metabolism in response to different room temperatures. Eligibility: \- Healthy men between 18 and 40 years of age. Design: * The entire study will last for 4 months. It will involve a screening visit and a 4-month inpatient stay at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. The inpatient stay will be in a private room at the Metabolic Clinical Research unit. Study participants will be required to stay in the Metabolic Clinical Research unit during the night, but are free to leave during the day. * At the screening visit, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. A heart function test and diet questionnaire will also be given. * During the first month, the temperature of the private room will be set at to 75.2 degrees F. This will allow the body to become used to the testing environment. * During the second month, the temperature will be set to either a cool (66.2 degrees F) or a warm (80.6 degrees F) temperature. * During the third month, the temperature will return to 75.2 degrees F. * During the fourth month, the temperature will be altered to the opposite temperature to the one set in the second month. * Throughout stay, participants will have daily temperature monitoring and will keep a food diary. Once a week, they will collect all of their urine for 24 hours. Once a month, they will spend 24 hours in a metabolic suite to study their metabolism rate. * Throughout stay, the food will be provided as part of the study. * During the first and third month (75.2 degrees F) the participants will be allowed to leave the Metabolic Clinical Research unit during the weekends, while during the second and forth month (66.2 or 80.6 degrees F), the participants will be allowed to spend one weekend out of the Metabolic Clinical Research unit. * Other tests, such as body scans, fat tissue samples, and imaging studies, will be performed as needed.
NCT00666588
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib and to see how well it works when given together with combination chemotherapy in treating younger patients with recurrent, refractory, or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as idarubicin, cytarabine, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with bortezomib may kill more cancer cells

NCT02098967
This open label, Phase I study of RO6839921 is a dose-escalation study with two arms. Prior to investigations in either arm, patients in a single cohort, Cohort 0, will receive non-escalating, intravenous (IV) doses of RO6839921 daily on Days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle. Interim PK and safety data from this cohort will be evaluated before initiating dose-escalation. In arm A, RO6839921 will be given to patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies. In Arm B, RO6839921 will be given to patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The arms will escalate independently. Escalation will begin in solid tumor patients (Arm A) in single patient cohorts, using a new Continual Reassessment Method (n-CRM). Escalation for AML patients will be initiated at or below the dose level that causes \>/= Grade 2 hematologic side effects in Arm A. Escalation in AML patients will follow a rolling 6 design. In both arms, RO6839921 will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1-5 of 28-day cycles. There will be no intrapatient dose escalation. All patients may be treated until disease progression/relapse or unacceptable toxicity.
