NCT00326898
This randomized phase III trial studies sunitinib malate to see how well it works compared to sorafenib tosylate or placebo in treating patients with kidney cancer that has been removed by surgery. Sunitinib malate and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib malate or sorafenib tosylate after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sunitinib malate is more effective than sorafenib tosylate or placebo in treating kidney cancer.
NCT00698815
This randomized phase II trial studies pemetrexed disodium and sunitinib malate to compare how well they work when given alone or together as second-line therapy in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether pemetrexed disodium and sunitinib malate are more effective when given alone or together in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT04207749
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and performance of an investigational soft contact lens compared to a commercially available soft contact lens when worn in a daily wear modality with frequent replacement.
NCT00617708
This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of monoclonal antibody therapy when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and erlotinib hydrochloride and to see how well they work compared with giving gemcitabine hydrochloride and erlotinib hydrochloride alone as first-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride and gemcitabine hydrochloride together with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells.
NCT01391143
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MGA271 when given by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with refractory cancer. The study will also evaluate how long MGA271 stays in the blood and how long it takes for it to leave the body, what is the highest dose that can safely be given, and whether it may have an effect on tumors.
NCT03669588

NCT03059446
This rollover study will provide open-label treatment with cenicriviroc and will assess the long-term safety of continued treatment with cenicriviroc in participants who participated in either the CENTAUR study 652-2-203 \[NCT02217475\] or the AURORA study \[NCT03028740\].
NCT04858932
Reduction in appetite and/or food intake among older individuals is referred to as anorexia of aging (AOA, also known as Geriatric Anorexia). AOA is linked with myriad comorbidities associated with aging, contributes significantly to adverse health consequences in old age, and has been used as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. The overall aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and burden of the proposed in-laboratory and out-of-laboratory assessments to study Geriatric Anorexia. This will be accomplished with the use of questionnaires as well as devices that evaluate movement, metabolism, body weight composition, glucose levels, and nutritional scale.
NCT02717728
There is currently no standard of care or best practice for managing post-operative pain for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. Perioperative pain with these procedures can be substantial. It has been shown that up to 90% of patients in the Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) following hip arthroscopy report pain scores of 7/10. Poor pain management following hip fracture surgery directly results in increased time spent in high cost health care areas and delayed time to ambulation. Continuous regional anesthesia following hip arthroplasty has been shown to reduce narcotic consumption and related side-effects (reduction of post-operative pain, delirium, and length of stay). The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of a fascia iliaca nerve block in reducing post-operative pain within the first 24 hours following hip arthroscopy. Additionally, the pharmacokinetics of the drug ropivacaine will be studied via laboratory analysis of blood samples. Ultimately, the objective of this research is to develop a standard of care or best practice for the management of post-operative pain following hip arthroscopy. This study will include the entire age range of patients who are seen for hip arthroscopy at Boston Children's Hospital, for which there is a 35 year age limit. Both sexes will be included in the study. The study design will be real catheter versus a sham catheter(control). All subjects will receive general anesthesia. The catheters (real or sham) will be administered after the induction of general anesthesia and before the beginning of the surgery until 24 hours after recorded PACU admittance time. The anesthesia team placing the block will not be blinded. The orthopaedic surgeon (Dr. Yen) and all evaluators will be blinded to the absence or presence of a real catheter. In the case of a sham catheter, the anesthesia team will rig a pump to look like it is dispensing local anesthesia. To determine the pharmacokinetics of ropivicaine during standard fascia iliaca block, following induction of general anesthesia, a large bore IV catheter will be inserted for the purpose of blood draws (all patients).
NCT03761069
This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) profiles, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of PTC299 and the metabolite, O-desmethyl PTC299, in participants with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have exhausted standard available therapies known to provide clinical benefit. The study is designed as a series of cohort-based dose escalations. For each cohort, a minimum of 3 evaluable participants with PK and safety data will be assessed. Additional participants will be recruited if additional PK data are needed to assess mean exposure based on the observed variability.
NCT02297412
This randomized pilot trial studies how well minocycline hydrochloride works in reducing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and acute pain in patients with breast cancer undergoing treatment with paclitaxel. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, may cause damage to nerves that result in aches, pains, and tingling or numbness of fingers and toes. Minocycline hydrochloride may help lessen nerve damage from paclitaxel and improve the quality of life in breast cancer patients.
NCT00369317
This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with Down syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes. Drugs used in chemotherapy 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) may kill more cancer cells.
NCT04287179
This study compares the effect and safety of 2 dose schedules for semaglutide (study medicine) in people with type 2 diabetes previously treated with a diabetes medicine similar to semaglutide. The study will also evaluate the use of a new pen-injector for semaglutide used to inject medicine under the skin, at a new dose of 2 mg. People taking part in the study will take this medicine together with their current diabetes tablets other than semaglutide. Participants will either get a start dose of 0.25 mg semaglutide or 0.50 mg semaglutide, and the dose will be gradually increased to 2.0 mg semaglutide - which treatment is decided by chance. Participants will inject semaglutide under the skin once a week, any time of the day. When the dose reaches 2.0 mg semaglutide, participants will inject the medicine with a new type of pen-injector. The study will last for about 24 weeks. Participants will have 9 visits and 1 phone call with the study doctor. At 9 visits participants will have blood taken and at 2 visits they will have eye examination done. Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period. Women who are able to get pregnant will be checked 10 times for pregnancy via urine tests.

ACTION Teens is a multinational cross-sectional survey-based study. The study consists of a quantitative online survey to be conducted among three groups of respondents in ten countries worldwide. The respondent population will include Adolescents Living with Obesity (ALwO), Caregivers of ALwO, and HCPs treating adolescents who have obesity. The goal of this study is to provide insights to drive awareness around the needs of adolescents living with obesity and their caregivers, as well as to identify key areas of misalignment between adolescents, their caregivers and the HCPs involved in obesity treatment and management. ACTION Teens is designed to generate evidence to identify and address these challenges on both a global and local level, extending the insights from the previously conducted ACTION-IO study.
