NCT00432159
This study is intended to treat patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disease at one level of the cervical spine. The patients will be randomized to the DISCOVER Artificial Cervical Disc (total disc replacement) or SLIM-LOC™ (cervical fusion) to determine the safety and efficacy at 2 years post operative. Follow-up on patients treated with total disc replacement will be continued to 5 years post operative.
NCT00089570
The purpose of this study is to determine whether terlipressin is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) type 1 when compared to placebo.
NCT00116428
This trial compares the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation for PAF with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The investigational catheter being studied is the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® irrigated-tip catheter. At the time of this study, the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® catheter was FDA-approved for commercial distribution in the U.S. for treating patients with Type I atrial flutter and drug refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia post myocardial infarction. The catheter was approved for use in Europe for endocardial ablation for treating cardiac arrhythmias.
NCT01495988
This phase 2 clinical trial randomizes patients with BRAF mutant melanoma to either (1) standard of care (SOC) - BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib in combination with MEK inhibitor cobimetinib; or, (2) SOC plus bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody that suppresses new blood vessel formation and can stimulate the immune system. Previous clinical studies in melanoma have shown that bevacizumab may improve clinical benefit (progression free survival) if combined with ipilimumab or abraxane. Preclinical studies suggest that VEGF increase plays a role in resistance to BRAF inhibitors. This randomized study will ask whether the addition of bevacizumab to targeted therapy SOC in BRAF mutant melanoma can improve response rates and clinical benefit. Patients may have received no therapy for advanced disease or up to 2 prior therapies, excluding BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
NCT03319589
This study is a randomized controlled pilot for a future larger trial. The goals of this pilot are: a) to assess feasibility of delivering a locally prepared supplement in rural communities, and b) to generate pilot data for sample size estimates needed for a larger trial. The study will test the effect of a supplement prepared locally with local and imported ingredients on changes in standard anthropometric benchmarks of growth, cognition, immune function, hemoglobin and skin carotenoids in young children living in 2 villages in rural Guinea-Bissau. Children in the active intervention village will be compared with assessment-only controls in a separate village having comparable demographic characteristics. As part of the study, we will assess the feasibility of having local commercial bakers prepare the supplement.
NCT02105324
This study will test the hypothesis that a wearable automated bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers both insulin and glucagon can improve glycemic control vs. usual care for young people with type 1 diabetes ages 6-11 years old in a diabetes camp environment.
NCT00056160
Randomized subjects will receive CC-5013 plus high-dose dexamethasone or placebo appearing identical to CC-5013 plus high-dose dexamethasone in 4-week cycles. Each subject will participate in a treatment phase and a follow-up phase.
NCT00064753
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if lowering homocysteine levels in renal transplant recipients with a multivitamin will reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease outcomes.
NCT01789242
This is a dose finding study to evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib in patients with previously treated systemic light-chain amyloidosis.
NCT02114060
This is a randomized, double-blind, factorial study to compare the reduction in viral shedding among 6 different combinations of GEN-003, a therapeutic HSV-2 vaccine and Matrix-M2 adjuvant. Secondary objectives of the study include: * Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of GEN-003 in combination with Matrix-M2 compared to placebo. * Comparison of the impact on clinical Herpes Simplex Virus type-2 (HSV-2) disease among the 6 different combinations of GEN-003 antigens and Matrix-M2 adjuvant measured by: * Time to first clinical and/or virologic recurrence, * Proportion of subjects who are recurrence free at 6 and 12 months after the last dose of vaccine, * Lesion rate (percent of days with genital lesions present) during the post-vaccination swabbing periods. * Evaluation of cellular and humoral responses to GEN-003 antigens. Additional objectives include: * Assessment of the correlation between immune responses and change in viral shedding or impact on clinical disease as defined above. * Determination of the recurrence rate in a subset of subjects not receiving suppressive antivirals throughout the study. Eligible subjects will enter a baseline period to collect anogenital swabs for 28 consecutive days prior to randomization. Each subject will receive up to 3 doses at 21 day intervals. Subjects will be followed for safety and immunologic response for 12 months following their last dose.
NCT01932216
Prospective, randomized , multicenter study comparing cholecystectomy performed with da Vinci Single Site Instruments™ to multi-port (four ports) laparoscopy
NCT01665599
This is a Phase 3 clinical trial in adult hypogonadal males with baseline serum testosterone concentrations \<300 ng/dL. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of testosterone gel (2%) delivered using an applicator.
NCT01939223
To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of regorafenib versus placebo in subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC) after curative resection of liver metastasis and completion of all planned chemotherapy.
NCT03079687
This is an open-label, single-arm, international, multicenter Multiple Patient Expanded Access Program (MPEAP). The program is designed to provide treatment access to olaparib tablets for patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer without other treatment options or eligible for an olaparib clinical trials.
NCT00853112
Study will assess PF-00489791 efficacy and safety in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
NCT01641042
The purpose of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of the new meningococcal vaccine 134612 in subjects with increased risk of meningococcal disease and compare it to its activity in healthy subjects.
NCT01603706
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of radial strain imaging using speckle tracking analysis to predict the response to CRT in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) with NYHA functional class 2-4 heart failure and a standard guideline-based CRT indication. Thus assessing the value of lead localization determined by radial strain imaging in a prospective, randomized manner.
NCT02542072
The purpose of this study is to compare the subjective performance of comfilcon A lens against samfilcon A lens after 4 weeks of reusable lens wear.
NCT01966003

NCT01015807
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with Clonidine added to the injectate (Clo-TAP) performed approximately 2hrs after the cesarean section (CS) will decrease the amount of postoperative hyperalgesia and ultimately reduce post-CS chronic pain.
