NCT01061112
This research study will help determine how a person's genetic makeup affects their responses to drugs, the ability of the body to break down drugs, and their potential to experience an interaction between drugs. We are investigating the drug interactions between an antifungal drug called fluconazole and the commonly used drugs tolbutamide, flurbiprofen, and ketoprofen. Tolbutamide is used for management of Type 2 diabetes. Both flurbiprofen and ketoprofen are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) often used for arthritis or pain. We are interested in studying whether individuals with certain genetic profiles have different drug interactions than normal. This research is being done to see if certain genetic profiles require us to adjust medication doses differently than is needed for the general population. Genetic profiles of subjects are determined from their previous participation in the Pharmacogenetics Registry (Investigator Richard Brundage, University of Minnesota). The study hypothesis is: Fraction metabolized by CYP2C9 enzyme determines the extent of drug interactions in CYP2C9\*1/\*1 individuals but this factor (fraction metabolized) becomes less influential and drug interactions are attenuated in a gene-dose dependent manner in individuals with one or more defective alleles.
NCT02148042
Anorexia nervosa is a chronic mental health condition characterized by maladaptive food consumption (i.e., hypophagia) and distorted body image. There is substantial evidence of a phenotypic overlap between anorexia nervosa and anxiety disorders, as well as data suggesting the two share a common genetic pathway. Despite these findings, little research has examined fear conditioning among individuals with anorexia nervosa, and no research has examined whether individuals with anorexia nervosa have a propensity to overgeneralize conditioned fear stimuli, one of the more robust fear-conditioning markers of anxiety disorders. The current study assesses generalization of conditioned fear with fear-potentiated startle: the cross-species enhancement of the startle reflex when an organism is in a state of fear. Animal data, as well as an emerging literature in humans, tightly links fear-potentiated startle to the amygdala-based fear circuit. Thus, evidence of overgeneralized fear-potentiated startle in anorexia nervosa would link this eating disorder to hypersensitivity of the fear circuit and could inform the development of novel pharmacologic and psychological treatments for anorexia nervosa based on treatment models used in the anxiety disorders literature.
NCT02120339
Estimate the effect of chronic beta-adrenergic receptor blockade with carvedilol on RV function in patients with PAH. Assess the safety and tolerability of chronic carvedilol therapy in patients with PAH
NCT01744574
Data suggest that progesterone may improve smoking cessation outcomes perhaps by reducing impulsive behavior. However, the clinical literature on this topic is lacking. Therefore, in Project I we are proposing a double-blind randomized controlled trial to assess the role of exogenous progesterone on impulsivity and smoking cessation in a sample of males and females who are motivated to quit smoking.
NCT00383448
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has proven effective therapy for individuals with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) or globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD, or Krabbe disease). This protocol also considers other inherited metabolic diseases such as, but not limited to, GM1 gangliosidosis, Tay Sachs disease, Sanfilippo syndrome or Sandhoff disease, I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II). For patients with advanced or rapidly progressive disease, the morbidity and mortality with transplantation is unacceptably high. Unfortunately, there are no viable alternative therapeutic options for these patients; if transplantation is not performed the patients are sent home to die. Our group at Minnesota has developed a new protocol incorporating transplantation using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen designed to decrease toxicity associated with the transplant procedure. This regimen will make use of the drug clofarabine, which has lympholytic and immune suppressive properties without the neurologic toxicity observed in the related compound, fludarabine, commonly used for transplantation. In addition, several agents providing anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties will be used to assist in the stabilization of the disease processes. This revised transplant protocol will test the following: 1) the ability to achieve engraftment with the reduced intensity protocol, 2) the mortality associated with transplant by day 100, 3) patient outcomes, based on differential neurologic, neuropsychologic, imaging and biologic evaluations prior to transplantation and at designated points after transplantation (day 100, 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years). Additional biologic studies will include pharmacokinetics of clofarabine and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). In addition, for patients undergoing lumbar puncture studies, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be requested for determinations of biologic parameters.
NCT00176891
The investigators hypothesize that weekly infusions of Laronidase ERT for 10-12 weeks prior to transplant and 8 weeks following transplant will result in a reduction of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) burden that is associated with decreased complications following transplant.
NCT01737398
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inotersen given for 65 weeks in participants with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP).
NCT00104858
This phase II trial studies how well fludarabine phosphate with radiation therapy and rituximab followed by donor stem cell infusions work in treating patients with high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) with low side effects. Nonmyeloablative stem cell transplants use low doses of chemotherapy (fludarabine phosphate) and radiation to suppress the patient's immune system enough to prevent rejection of the donor's stem cells. Following infusion of donor stem cells, a mixture of the patient's and the donor's stem cells will exist and is called "mixed chimerism". Donor cells will attack the patient's leukemia. This is called the "graft-versus-leukemia" effect. Rituximab will be given 3 days before and three times after infusing stem cells to help in controlling CLL early after transplant till the "graft-versus-leukemia" takes control. Further, rituximab could augment the "graft-versus-leukemia" effect by activating donor immune cells and hence improve disease control. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also attack the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.
NCT02210273
The SUCCESS Trial is designed to determine whether the Solace Bladder Control System is safe and effective for the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) in adult females.
NCT01896232
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with etelcalcetide (AMG 416) is not inferior to treatment with cinacalcet for lowering serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels by \> 30% from baseline among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) who require management with hemodialysis.
NCT01282424
The primary objective will be to assess the overall response rate and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of idelalisib (IDELA; GS-1101) in participants with previously treated indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (iNHL) that is refractory both to rituximab and to alkylating-agent-containing chemotherapy. Eligible participants will initiate oral therapy with idelalisib at a starting dose of 150 mg taken twice per day. Treatment with idelalisib can continue in compliant participants as long as the study is still ongoing and the participants appear to be benefiting from treatment with acceptable safety.
NCT02023697
This study will assess different doses and regimens of radium-223 dichloride on the incidence of symptomatic skeletal events. Eligible subjects must have castration resistant prostate cancer with 2 or more skeletal metastases documented within 8 weeks of randomization. Subjects will be randomized to one of 3 treatment arms in a 1:1:1 fashion: a standard regimen of radium-223 dichloride of 50 kBq/kg (55 kBq/kg after implementation of NIST update) injections every month for 6 months, a high dose regimen of 80 kBq/kg (88 kBq/kg after implementation of NIST update)injections every month for 6 months or an extended duration regimen of 50 kBq/kg (55 kBq/kg after implementation of NIST update) injections every month for 12 months. Following the treatment phase, subjects will be followed up every 12 weeks for a minimum of 2 years, at which point they will enter a long term follow-up period during which they are seen every 6 months for up to 7 years after the last dose of radium dichloride. Symptomatic skeletal event and safety endpoints will be assessed at each clinic visit. Pain and analgesic use data will be collected every 4 weeks through Week 48. Additionally, radiological assessments including MRI/CT of the abdomen and pelvis and chest CT, as well as technetium-99 bone scans will be performed at Weeks 8, 16, and 24 and continue every 12 weeks thereafter until disease progression is documented in either the bone or in soft tissue. Radiological imaging will be evaluated by blinded central review.

NCT01131260
The purpose of this research is to test a new instrument, called a fetal STAN monitor, that may be used during labor to monitor the electrical activity of the baby's heart. This new instrument is designed to help the doctor determine how well the baby is doing during labor. It will be used along with the existing electronic fetal monitor used to measure the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions during birth. The specific purpose of this research study is to see if this new instrument (fetal STAN monitor) will have an impact on newborn health.
NCT02833857
This is a study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics in pediatric patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism receiving a single dose of etelcalcetide at the end of hemodialysis.
NCT02292446
The purpose of this open-label, single arm, multi-center Expanded Treatment Protocol (ETP) was to provide early access to ruxolitinib and evaluate safety information in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) who were hydroxyurea (HU) resistant or intolerant and who had no other standard treatment option, nor did they qualify for another clinical study for PV
NCT01287598
* To evaluate the effect of BAY73-4506 on the pharmacokinetics of probe substrates of CYP 2C9 (warfarin), 2C19 (omeprazole) and 3A4 (midazolam) administered in a cocktail approach and on the pharmacokinetics of a probe substrate of CYP 2C8 (rosiglitazone) * To evaluate safety, anti-tumor activity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of BAY73-4506 in patients with advanced solid tumors
NCT02729051
This multicenter study will be conducted to compare the effect of FF/UMEC/VI with FF/VI plus UMEC on lung function after 24 weeks of treatment. This is a phase IIIB, 24-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel group multicenter study. This study will test the hypothesis that the difference in trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) between treatment groups is less than or equal to a pre-specified non-inferiority margin. Alternatively, this study will also test the hypothesis that the difference between treatment groups is greater than the margin. The triple therapy of FF/UMEC/VI in a single inhaler is being developed with the aim of providing a new treatment option for the management of advanced Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Group D COPD which will reduce the exacerbation frequency, allow for a reduced burden of polypharmacy, convenience, and improve lung function, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and symptom control over established dual/monotherapies. This study has a 2 week run in period where subjects will continue to have their existing COPD medications. At randomization, subjects will discontinue all existing COPD medications and will be assigned to treatment of FF/UMEC/VI, 100 microgram (mcg)/62.5 mcg/25 mcg and placebo or FF/VI, 100 mcg/25 mcg and UMEC, 62.5 mcg in a 1:1 ratio for 24 weeks. Subjects will have clinical visits at Pre-Screening (Visit 0), Screening (Visit 1), Randomization (Week 0, Visit 2), Week 4 (Visit 3), Week 12 (Visit 4) and Week 24 (Visit 5). A follow-up visit will be conducted at 1 week after the end of treatment period or after early withdrawal visit. Approximately, 1020 subjects will be enrolled in this study. There will be two pharmacokinetic (PK) groups (subset A and subset B). Approximately 120 subjects will be assigned to subset A and approximately 60 subjects will be assigned to subset B. The total duration of subject participation will be approximately 27 weeks, consisting of a 2-week run-in period, 24-week treatment period and a 1-week follow-up period.
