NCT01515787
The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of the cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
NCT01160783
This study is working towards gaining a better understanding of the genetic and environmental factors involved in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), which includes autism, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD), and Asperger's syndrome. The investigators hope that information gained from this study will lead to new ways of diagnosing and treating ASDs.
NCT02545127
Induction and support of lactation in women with preterm delivery and inadequate milk production.
NCT05744934
The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of implantable loop recorder implantation (using the LUX-DX™) in newborns undergoing stage 1 palliation. The secondary objective of the investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of continuous measurement of heart rate and arrhythmia using an implantable loop recorder (LUX-Dx™) during the interstage period. An implantable loop recorder will be placed at the time of chest closure following stage 1 palliation (either at the time of index surgery or delayed). The device will be placed in a subclavicular pouch through the existing sternotomy incision. Participants will be in the study for 6 months to 3 years.
NCT05557981
This is a randomized controlled trial with a mixed method design to determine the impact of coaching on self-perceived medical errors, burnout, and resilience. The study team developed a novel coaching curriculum based in principles of positive psychology and self-reflection with the hypothesis that the coaching intervention will lead to decreased medical errors, decreased burnout, and increased resilience in trainee and faculty participants. Resident and fellow trainees as well as faculty members were recruited across departments and randomized to coaching or control. Faculty in the coaching arm were trained in coaching techniques and paired with a trainee coachee. Survey results as well as focus groups will be used to analyze the impact of the coaching program as compared to standard mentorship (control).
NCT00704288
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the objective response rate and 6-month progression-free survival rate of XL184 in subjects with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme. XL184 is a new chemical entity that inhibits VEGFR2, MET and RET, kinases implicated in tumor formation, growth and migration.
NCT04516746
The aim of the study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of AZD1222 for the prevention of COVID-19.
NCT04596995
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of treatment with rozanolixizumab.
NCT06004141
The overall goal of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of using a behavioral coaching intervention (Laguna Health) for optimizing post-hospital discharge care in patients with cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned into one of the study groups: the behavioral coaching intervention (Laguna Health) + usual care versus usual care alone. The Laguna Health intervention has several components: 1. Post-Discharge Recovery Coaching with a Laguna Health recovery coach to help patients identify barriers to post-discharge recovery 2. Digital psycho-educational content tailored to the needs of patients with cancer 3. Personal healthcare summaries 4. Digital content and coaching on behavioral strategies to promote self-efficacy
NCT02283177
This pilot study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral crenolanib besylate given sequentially during standard induction and consolidation chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed AML with FLT3 activating mutations.
NCT03052127
The primary objective is to assess the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of one of three dose levels and repeat dose regimens of Light-activated AU-011 and one or two laser applications for the treatment of subjects with primary choroidal melanoma.
NCT04356859
This is a prospective randomized multi-center study which will compare acute fluid resuscitation using a colloid strategy (LR + 5% Albumin) to a crystalloid strategy (LR alone), in adults with an acute burn involving at least 25% of their total body surface area.
NCT00031512
A common group of viruses that infect humans are enteroviruses. Enteroviruses produce illnesses in children which may range from very mild (summer colds) to severe (infections of the brain, liver, and heart). The purpose of this study is to determine if a new drug called pleconaril helps treat babies with enteroviral sepsis. In addition, researchers are attempting to determine a safe and effective dose of pleconaril to help babies with this disease. Infants who are 15 days or younger when diagnosed with enteroviral disease are eligible for this study. Two out of 3 babies will be randomly assigned to receive Pleconaril and the other one out of three will receive a placebo (inactive substitute). Participants will be hospitalized while receiving study medication. Babies will receive standard treatment care for their symptoms and will be observed for their medical progress. Participants may be in the study for up to 2 years.
NCT03421561
The ILLUMENATE Pivotal PAS is a continued follow-up study which will include 300 subjects from forty-three (43) sites across the United States and Austria previously enrolled in the ILLUMENATE Pivotal pre-market study to evaluate the Stellarex DCB compared to the PTA control device for the treatment of de-novo or post-PTA occluded/stenotic or reoccluded/restenotic (except for in-stent) SFA and/or popliteal arteries.
NCT03093961
The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the safety and performance of implanting the IASD® System II in Heart Failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and elevated left sided filling pressures, who remain symptomatic despite Guideline Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT).
NCT02654587
The aim of this clinical trial was to determine if the therapeutic cancer vaccine OSE2101 (TEDOPI) was more effective than standard chemotherapy (docetaxel or pemetrexed) in treating HLA-A2 positive patients with metastatic NSCLC who progressed after sequential or concurrent chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor given in first or second-line treatment. The main questions were to compare the survival, the tolerance to treatment and the quality of life of patients between the two arms of treatment (OSE2101 versus standard chemotherapy)
NCT03693170
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of study drugs encorafenib, binimetinib and cetuximab in patients who have BRAF V600 mutant metastatic colorectal cancer and have not received any prior treatment for their metastatic disease.
NCT01186328
An experimental drug called EZN-3042 targets survivin, a protein expressed in leukemia cells at relapse that promotes the leukemia cells to grow. The main goal of this phase I study is to find out the dose of EZN-3042 that can be safely given without serious side effects both alone and in combination with standard chemotherapy drugs during re-induction.
