NCT00729586
This randomized phase II trial studies how well temsirolimus with or without megestrol acetate and tamoxifen citrate works in treating patients with endometrial cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, has returned after a period of improvement, or is persistent. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of endometrial cancer cells. Hormone therapy using megestrol acetate and tamoxifen citrate may fight endometrial cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. It is not yet known whether temsirolimus is more effective when given alone or together with megestrol acetate and tamoxifen citrate in treating endometrial cancer.
NCT02056340
Influenza (the 'flu') is a common virus infecting approximately 5-20% of the population in the United States and causing as many as 500,000 deaths worldwide each year. Currently, there are only a few treatments for influenza infection and none of these target inflammation that can be caused by the virus. This study will test whether the anti-inflammatory effects of statins, a class of drugs most often used to treat high cholesterol, will decrease the severity of illness in patients who are infected with influenza by testing markers of inflammation in the blood and recording resolution of influenza illness.
NCT02912468
Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab 300 milligram (mg) every 2 weeks (q2w) compared to placebo on a background of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) in reducing nasal congestion/obstruction (NC) severity and endoscopic nasal polyp score (NPS) in participants with bilateral nasal polyposis (NP). In addition for Japan participants, reduction in computed tomography (CT) scan opacification of the sinuses was a coprimary objective. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving total symptoms score (TSS). * To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in improving sense of smell. * To evaluate the efficacy of dupilumab in reducing CT scan opacification of the sinuses (primary objective for Japan). * To evaluate ability of dupilumab in reducing proportion of participants requiring treatment with systemic corticosteroids or NP surgery. * To evaluate the effect of dupilumab on participant reported outcomes and health related quality of life outcome by sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22). * To evaluate the effect of dupilumab in the subgroups of participants with prior surgery and co-morbid asthma (including non-steroid antiinflammatory drug \[NSAID\] exacerbated respiratory disease \[ERD\]). * To evaluate residual effect in follow up. * To evaluate the safety of dupilumab in participants with bilateral NP. * To evaluate functional dupilumab concentrations (systemic exposure) and incidence of treatment-emergent anti-drug antibodies.
NCT02248649

NCT02357420

NCT01620567
Cognitive impairment is also a major risk factor for development of dementia later in life. Findings from the investigators studies suggest that the carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin may be important in cognitive function in the elderly. Avocados are a source of these carotenoids. The investigators study evaluates long-term avocado intervention as a treatment strategy for age-related cognitive impairment which could possibly prevent the onset of dementia. The investigators have also shown that lutein supplementation significantly improved verbal fluency scores in healthy older women. Based on these findings, the next logical step will be to investigate the ability of lutein and zeaxanthin contained in avocados to influence cognitive function in older adults. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a significant increase in cognitive function measures in older adults provided with meals containing 1 avocado/day at the end of 6 months, while no significant improvements will be observed in older adults given daily meals containing chickpeas and/or potatoes. The proposed study is designed as a randomized, placebo controlled trial that tests the effects of 6 month supplementation with 1 avocado/day on cognitive function in older adults. Secondary analyses will determine whether baseline macular pigment (lutein in retina which canbe measured non invasivley) density predicts relative effectiveness of the intervention on cognitive function. Secondary outcomes include plasma biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation.
NCT02528318
This study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of lucinactant for inhalation, administered as an aerosol in up to four escalating doses to preterm neonates 26 to 28 weeks gestational age who are receiving nCPAP for RDS compared to neonates receiving nCPAP alone.
NCT00723255
This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving bevacizumab together with temsirolimus and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth. Giving bevacizumab together with temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells.
NCT01637961
This phase II trial studies how well alisertib works in treating patients with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus that has come back or persistent. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT01459380
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, carboplatin, and bevacizumab in treating patients with ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer that has returned after previous treatment. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and carboplatin, may stop the growth of tumor cells by, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth by blocking the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumors by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving veliparib together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, carboplatin, and bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.
NCT04035057
The goal of this study is to test a targeted training for overcoming known barriers to the uptake and quality delivery of exposure therapy among community mental health providers. The first phase (Year 1) of the study is a case-series analysis of six therapists with the goal of determining whether the targeted training strategies (i.e., exposure to exposure) are capable of engaging therapists' reservations about exposure. Information from the first phase will be used to optimize the behavioral training strategies to be tested in the second phase. The second phase (Years 2 \& 3) will be a randomized trial of training conditions comparing Behaviorally Enhanced Training Strategies to a Standard Didactic Training. After an initial workshop training, therapists in the second phase will receive ongoing consultation while they deliver exposure therapy with their anxious patients. Sessions will be video-recorded and therapist behaviors will be coded to assess for differences in the manner in which exposure is delivered between training conditions.

NCT03021304
This study is aimed to assess the correct real-world use of a safety syringe for the repeat self-administration of mepolizumab SC. This Phase III study will be an open-label, single-arm, repeat-dose, multi-centre study of mepolizumab liquid drug product in a safety syringe (100 milligrams \[mg\]) administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks (3 doses) in subjects with severe eosinophilic asthma. Subjects will receive 100 mg mepolizumab SC as a single injection that is self-administered in the thigh, abdomen or administered in the upper arm (caregiver only). Each subject will participate in the study for up to 18 weeks including pre-screening visit, a screening visit and a 12-week treatment period which concludes with end of study assessments (Visit 5) 4 weeks after the last dose of mepolizumab. Approximately 55 Subjects will be enrolled in the study.
