NCT00002569
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy in treating patients who have anaplastic oligodendroglioma.
NCT01829230
This is a continuation study for subjects who were previously fit with test or control lenses; all will stop wearing their study lenses assigned in the previous study and will start to wear an FDA-approved marketed spherical soft contact lens.
NCT01290237
Vancomycin is an antibiotic administered to children or adults for many types of infections. While it has been used to treat infections of children for more than 50 years we are still not completely certain about the best dose to use when starting treatment with this medication. This study is intended to evaluate whether giving a new higher dose of vancomycin for the first dose will help us get to the desired amount in the body more quickly then the usual first dose. Half of the patients would get the new higher dose and the other half of patients will get the typical first dose. Only the first dose is changed and all doses that follow are the same in both groups and are doses typically used for children.
NCT01159964
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2302032A when given to Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, after tumor removal by surgery.
NCT01072357
The leading risk factor for corneal transplant rejection is abnormal blood vessel growth of the host bed. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to be a mediator of this corneal neovascularization (NV), therefore we would like to test the safety and efficacy of local VEGF blockade in the promotion of graft survival in high risk corneal transplants.
NCT03139656
This study will investigate three interventions-values clarification, planning, or combined (values clarification + planning)-for increasing goal-consistent health behavior (e.g., exercise or dieting). The investigators will also examine how intervention effects differ based on various psychological and neuropsychological factors, to better understand how interventions can be tailored to specific individuals. The investigators hypothesize a) that the combined intervention will increase goal-consistent exercise behavior more than the other interventions; and b) that individuals scoring higher on self-concordance or goal-commitment will benefit more from planning, whereas those with more positive expectancies or scoring higher on neuropsychological measures (e.g., working memory) will benefit more from values clarification.
NCT01620762
The purpose of this study is to compare the treatment effect of two treatment regimens of Cat-PAD vs placebo and to evaluates the treatment effect of Cat-PAD on symptoms, rescue medication usage and Quality of Life.
NCT01192542
The purpose of this study is to compare the visual acuity, limbal and bulbar redness of the new galyfilcon A prototype lenses against Avaira® lenses when worn as daily wear for seven (7) days.
NCT01990664
This study is an open-label, multi-site study. The total number of subjects was 200. The duration of this study was approximately four weeks. The primary objective was to assess what percentage of lapsed contact wearers, who have discontinued use of their contact lenses for greater than six months can be successfully re-fit with senofilcon A, reusable 2-weekly replacement daily wear lenses (spherical and toric designs).
NCT01484028
This study will serve to evaluate and compare the performance of two new lenses to a marketed lens.
NCT01669629
This is a one week 2x2 crossover study comparing delefilcon A with etafilcon A, with a primary hypothesis of comparing the handling of each lens. Additional secondary markers are measured looking at subjective comfort and vision of the lenses.
NCT01016652
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a multi-focal contact lens on symptomatic patients.
NCT00496769
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether apixaban is more effective than acetylsalicylic acid in the prevention of strokes associated with patients with atrial fibrillation. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
NCT01916226
This phase IV investigational trial is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a 2-week treatment of fluticasone propionate nasal spray (FPNS) vs. cetirizine on allergic nasal and ocular symptoms and quality of life in adult subjects with SAR. It is hypothesized that FPNS provides greater nasal symptom relief than cetirizine. The primary measure used to test this hypothesis is the change from baseline over two weeks in reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) compared between FPNS and cetirizine. Approximately 648 subjects will be randomized into a 1:1:1:1 ratio of treatment allocation across approximately twenty-five to thirty-five sites in the US during the 2013 fall allergy season. All subjects will be outpatients. The total duration of study will be approximately 21 days including 7 days of screening period, and 14 days of treatment period.
NCT02772380
The main purpose of this clinical study is to collect electrograms from an investigational lead placed in an extravascular space, for development of a future Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) system.
NCT02041091
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the amount of tabalumab in the blood after it is given by two different injection methods - A traditional syringe or a spring loaded syringe for 12 weeks. Participants may continue to receive study drug for up to 52 weeks.
NCT02517021
NEPA-15-18 is a clinical study assessing safety of pro-netupitant and palonosetron, two antiemetic drugs, given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to evaluate if pro-netupitant and palonosetron are safe when administered to prevent nausea and vomiting after administration of repeated cycles of chemotherapy.
NCT01659086
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of different formulations of a two-dose primary series and booster vaccination of monovalent Influenza H9N2 vaccine manufactured in Quebec, Canada with and without adjuvant, in adults 18 to 64 years of age.
NCT01126697
The study will include 120 participants aged 8 and up with Duchenne, Becker, or autosomal recessive limb-girdle (specifically: LGMD 2C-2F and 2I) muscular dystrophies that have no clinical cardiac symptoms. Participants will be randomized to one of four arms: Arm 1 CoQ10 alone, Arm 2 Lisinopril alone, Arm 3 CoQ10 and Lisinopril or Arm 4 No study medication. Randomization will be stratified by ambulatory status and corticosteroid use. The primary outcome for the study is the myocardial performance index (MPI), measured by standard Doppler echocardiography. The study will last 24 months with visits at Months 0.5,1.5, 6, 12, 18 and 24. Following completion of the Clinical Trial of Coenzyme Q10 and Lisinopril, participants will be offered participation in a companion protocol: PITT1215 A Natural History Companion Study to PITT0908: Clinical Trial of Coenzyme Q10 and Lisinopril in Muscular Dystrophies. The objective of this study is to evaluate the longitudinal natural history of DMD, BMD, and LGMD2I and to evaluate the effects of Coenzyme Q10 and/or Lisinopril on prevention of cardiac dysfunction in these disorders.This will be an 18-month longitudinal natural history study designed to accompany the Clinical Trial of Coenzyme Q10 and Lisinopril in Muscular Dystrophies.
NCT01568736
The hyper IgD syndrome (HIDS) is an inflammatory disease caused by mevalonate kinase deficiency. There is no cure, and available treatments of HIDS febrile episodes have shown limited clinical efficacy. The development of effective interventions for HIDS is limited by our poor understanding of the disease. The goal of the study is to better characterize the inflammatory response during HIDS episodes and to determine the relationship between this response and blood and urine markers of mevalonate kinase deficiency. This knowledge will help us learn more about the cause of the disease and should lead to the identification of new disease biomarkers that can be used to evaluate clinical efficacy in future therapeutic trials. The primary hypothesis is that the costimulatory B7 glycoprotein abnormalities identified in the murine MKD model will be recapitulated in sera obtained from human HIDS patients, either before, during or after febrile episodes. The secondary hypothesis is that B7 glycoprotein molecule levels will correlate with clinical symptomatic severity score, other known biomarkers of HIDS, markers of inflammation and or markers of isoprenoid metabolism.
