NCT01206556
This study is being done to evaluate how long the immune response from the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine you / your child received persists. The immune response occurred after immunization and is what protects you/your child from HPV disease. You / your child received this vaccine as part of an earlier study (P1047). The vaccine is called Human Papillomavirus Vaccine (QHPV Vaccine, also known as GARDASIL®). The study will check to see if the protective effects (called "antibodies") produced by the vaccine have lasted, and for how long these effects will continue to last. You will not be given any medications or vaccines as part of this follow-up study.
NCT00254891
To assess the efficacy and safety of PF-3512676 administered in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with locally advanced or metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and to compare it to the efficacy and safety of paclitaxel
NCT01422876
This trial will evaluate use of BI 10773/linagliptin once daily (qd) fixed dose combination (FDC) in treatment naïve and metformin treated patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to support approval by regulatory authorities.
NCT00449865
The purpose of this trial is to determine if the nutritional supplement creatine slows the progression of Parkinson's disease over time.
NCT01221766
This research study will help us learn more about how chronic graft-versus-host disease affects the skin, hair and nails. We are interested in knowing if hair and nail problems predict worse disease. This information may help us treat patients like you in the future.
NCT00004412
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of local care alone vs local care plus arginine butyrate in terms of healing rate in patients with refractory sickle cell ulcers. II. Determine the effect of arginine butyrate therapy on tissue factors related to promotion or inhibition of wound healing in these patients. III. Determine whether the regimen used in this study is appropriate for testing in pivotal trials.
NCT00639665
Observing how cocoa effects the cardiovascular and renal system.
NCT02403466
Because communication and handoff failures are a root cause of two-thirds of "sentinel events"- serious, often fatal preventable adverse events in hospitals improving handoffs has been identified by AHRQ and the Joint Commission as a priority in nationwide efforts to improve patient safety. Comparative Effectiveness Research on handoff tools and processes has identified specific strategies to improve handoffs and reduce medical errors: 1) team training; 2) verbal mnemonics; and 3) use of written/computerized tools to supplement verbal sign-outs. To accelerate residents' use of CER-based handoff practices and improve patient safety, the investigators are implementing the three inventions above as a Resident Handoff Bundle (RHB) in eight pediatric hospitals in the United States and Canada.
NCT00831844
This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well cixutumumab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, 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.
NCT01557582
The primary endpoint of this study is the percent difference between the VentriPoint Medical System (VMS) and cMRI for estimating the end diastolic and end systolic right ventricular volumes (RVEDV and RVESV) in subjects with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). The trial will be defined as positive if the mean VMS-cMRI percent difference is \<10% and \>-10% at a 1-sided 0.025 statistical significance level for RVEDV and for RVESV, with no safety concerns for the VMS procedure.
NCT00559117
Aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and find the maximal tolerated dose of VB-111 in Patients with Advanced Metastatic Cancer
NCT01440127
Metformin is drug that is normally used to treat people with diabetes. New research has discovered that metformin may also kill cancer stem cells. These cancer stem cells make up only a small portion of a cancer, but may be responsible for resistance to chemotherapy or for causing recurrence of the cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of metformin on colorectal cancer tumors. The study is designed to develop the methods to test tumors for cancer stem cells and then to determine the difference between treating with metformin and not treating with metformin with regard to the cancer stem cells. This research is investigational because the effect of metformin on cancer stem cells is not known in humans. Also, in patients who are not diabetic, metformin would normally not be given prior to surgery.
NCT00552630
Childhood Lead Poisoning is a widespread disease that has few effective treatments. The specific aims of this proposed clinical trial are threefold: * To determine whether a six-week course of a newly formulated d-penicillamine suspension will effectively reduce blood lead level in children aged 6 months to 16 years with blood lead levels of 15-25 μg/dL. * To determine whether d-penicillamine chelation produces a sustained reduction in blood lead level in comparison with succimer and other lead chelators which always produce a significant post-treatment "rebound". * To determine whether chelation with d-penicillamine improves the physiologic disturbances that can be measured in children with blood lead levels in this range.
NCT02391259
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential rising single-dose study in which approximately 56 subjects with SLE will be enrolled in 7 dosing cohorts
NCT00081497
People with Fabry Disease have an alteration in their genetic material (DNA) which causes a deficiency of the alpha-galactosidase A enzyme. Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) is a drug that helps to break down and removes certain types of fatty substances called "glycolipids". These glycolipids are normally present within the body in most cells. In Fabry disease, glycolipids build up in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, skin, and blood vessels because a-galactosidase A is not present, or is present in small quantities. The build up of glycolipid (globatriaosylceramide or GL-3) levels in these tissues in particular is thought to cause the clinical symptoms that are common to Fabry disease. This study analyzed the safety and efficacy of Fabrazyme in the treatment of patients with Fabry disease that previously participated in the AGAL-008-00 (NCT0074984) study.
NCT00117598
This is an open-label, randomized trial in relapsed refractory subjects with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
NCT00916006
This Phase III study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of PEP005 Gel, 0.015% when applied to an area of skin containing 4-8 AK lesions on the face or scalp.
NCT01149655
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study consisting of a screening period, a conversion phase (Phase 1), a stabilization phase (Phase 2), and a double-blind maintenance treatment phase (Phase 3), and a follow up period. Subjects may be either outpatients or inpatients between screening and through the time they reach stabilization at the end of Phase 2; hospitalization is not a study requirement. However, eligible subjects must be outpatients at the beginning of Phase 3. Subjects will be assessed weekly during Phase 1, weekly for the first 4 weeks of Phase 2 and 3, and biweekly for the remaining weeks during each of Phases 2 and 3. Subjects will be encouraged to call the investigators with any exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and/or any tolerability issues. The investigator will also have the option to phone the subjects and their guardian(s) at any time to ensure clinical stability. A data monitoring committee (DMC) will provide oversight for safety monitoring and reviewing the interim analysis. One interim analysis is planned after 75% of the total expected number of impending relapse events (28 events) are achieved and will be conducted by an independent data analysis center. The DMC will make a recommendation about stopping or continuing the study based on safety and efficacy reviews. The results of the interim analysis and individual subject data will remain blinded to the sponsor during the course of the study until the DMC determines that the study will conclude based on the results of the interim analysis, or the study is completed after 37 endpoint events.
NCT00346385
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as BB-10901, 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. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of BB-10901 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors.
