NCT00002924
RATIONALE: Gene mutations may make prostate cancer cells unable to attach to androgens. This may permit the growth of prostate cancer. Gene testing may improve the identification of patients with advanced prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the androgen receptor gene in patients with prostate cancer that is not responsive to hormone therapy.
NCT00003092
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating older patients who have solid tumors.
NCT00004183
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of capecitabine in treating patients who have malignant mesothelioma.
NCT00012220
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if gemcitabine is more effective when given alone or in combination with another chemotherapy drug in treating cancer of the pancreas. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of gemcitabine given alone or in combination with other chemotherapy drugs in treating patients who have metastatic cancer of the pancreas.
NCT00006029
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma.
NCT00002575
RATIONALE: Less invasive types of surgery may help reduce the number of side effects and improve recovery. It is not yet known which type of surgery is more effective for colon cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic-assisted colectomy with open colectomy in treating patients who have colon cancer.
NCT01581125
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that sleep and performance depend on length of time awake, length of time asleep, the amount of sleep over several sleep episodes, and circadian phase.
NCT00997529
A major focus of recent research has been the development of effective ways of sensitizing the patient's immune system to recognize the cancer as foreign. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation represents a novel way of potentially achieving this goal. There is recent evidence that non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation provides effective therapy for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Based on the preliminary reports from other investigators treating patient with breast and ovarian cancer, the investigators of this study would propose treating an expanded cohort of patients with any metastatic solid tumor. The principal endpoints of the trial will include incidence of durable engraftment, quality of hematopoietic and immune reconstitution, extent of donor chimerism, incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD), and incidence of long-term disease free survival (DFS). The investigators will evaluate the tumor response of patients with stable or progressive disease post-transplant to donor lymphocyte infusions (DLI). The investigators will also study the effects of DLI on T-cell immunity in the recipients.
NCT00027573
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy used to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy followed by donor peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have metastatic or unresectable kidney cancer.
NCT00002624
RATIONALE: Video-assisted surgery followed by radiation therapy may be an effective treatment in patients whose poor heart and lung function make them high risk for standard surgery. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of video-assisted surgery followed by radiation therapy in treating patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer and poor heart and lung function.
NCT00021697
The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the safety of AVP-923 (dextromethorphan/quinidine) for the treatment of emotional lability in ALS patients.
NCT00005810
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus filgrastim in treating patients who have stage IV prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.
NCT02112149
The proposed study is a randomized trial evaluating the impact of the 12-week LIVESTRONG exercise program vs. waitlist control on cancer-related outcomes in 200 cancer survivors.
NCT02836132
The aim of this Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer grant is to complete development of a virtual reality intervention to augment and improve commercial Internet-delivered behavioral weight loss treatments, and to test it in a randomized controlled trial.
NCT00113620
The purpose of this study is to determine whether dextromethorphan (Neurodex) and quinidine are effective in the treatment of pain of diabetic neuropathy.
NCT02314754
To demonstrate non-inferiority of the efficacy of 200 mg mifepristone followed in 24 to 48 hours by 800 µg buccal misoprostol in outpatient medical abortion services among women 71-77 days' compared to women 64-70 days' LMP.
NCT01858480
To evaluate the safety and to determine the efficacy of D-ribose for the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF) in subjects who have been stabilized following hospitalization with acute decompensation.
NCT02369705
Subjects with cardiac disorders will be tested in the sleep laboratory with a conventional full-night PSG recording along with WP 200/WP200U ambulatory sleep diagnostic device in a synchronized manner. The PSG data will be scored manually by a trained polysomnographic scorer, according to standard criteria for this clinical routine. The data obtained by the WP200/WP200U will be analyzed automatically for RDI, AHI, sleep stages, snoring (optional) and body position (optional), in addition to parameters specific to cardiac subjects. The analysis will be performed by the WP200/WP200U software (zzzPAT) and will be compared to the PSG's manual scoring which serves as a "Gold Standard".
NCT02144051
This is a first time in man (FTIM), Phase I study to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Recommended Phase 2 Dose, safety, tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of AZD5312. This is a multicentre study with sites in the United States and United Kingdom. Approximately 90 patients are expected to be enrolled in this study. The study involves two parts, Part A, Dose Escalation and Part B, Dose Expansion.
NCT01365481
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability profile of valsartan and valsartan-based treatments in children with hypertension, with or without chronic kidney disease.
