NCT00047125
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy is more effective in treating patients who have metastases to the lymph nodes in the neck. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare different radiation therapy regimens in treating patients who have metastases to the lymph nodes in the neck from an unknown primary tumor.
NCT02948062
The goal of this single institution study is to evaluate boys with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) diagnosed early in life, and to prospectively monitor them to determine parameters that will facilitate earlier detection of the childhood cerebral form of the disease. These at-risk subjects will be assessed yearly through travel to the University of Minnesota, where plasma and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) biomarker studies, MRI based imaging and neuropsychological assessments will be performed at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital and Clinics. The MRI and lumbar puncture to obtain CSF will be obtained under sedation. In addition, at intervening 6 months intervals information will be obtained remotely, including surveys and MRI's in their home location. Also at that time blood samples will be obtained locally and shipped to the University of Minnesota for study. There is no therapeutic intent in this study.
NCT03570567
This clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety, performance, and efficacy of a novel endoscopic technique for resolving esophageal food impactions by using a novel hollow suction catheter, Piranha GI Aspiration Catheter, to core out and suction food away from the center of an impaction. This technique includes hollowing out the center of the impaction, thus reducing the volume of the food bolus in the center, allowing the food to collapse into the hollow center, and then allowing for spontaneous food passage into the stomach. The study design is based on the experience of the investigators and the general knowledge of the food impaction field. In addition, consideration was given to previous studies of endoscopic treatments for esophageal food impaction.
NCT00078338
The primary objective of the study is to assess the clinical efficacy of Rebif® 44 microgram (mcg) three times per week compared with Copaxone® 20 milligram (mg) daily in subjects with relapsing Multiple Sclerosis.
NCT02059902
Thermal injury results in one of the most intense and prolonged forms of pain the body can experience. Opioid narcotics are the most powerful drugs for acute and chronic pain, and their use in the perioperative period has been the mainstay of treatment; although medication requirements in burn patients are often underestimated. More medication may not be the answer, as relatively large doses of short acting opioids in the operative theater are associated with greater postoperative opioid consumption and higher pain scores. Furthermore, extensive use of opioids has resulted in the development of by hyperalgesia and allodynia. Lidocaine is an amide local anesthetic that has analgesic, anti-hyperalgesic, antiarrhythmic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Over the past 25 years, systemic lidocaine has been used for perioperative pain management in a variety of surgical procedures. The design of this study will examine if lidocaine will reduce the pain scores and narcotic utilization in patients undergoing surgical procedures for burn injuries. The intervention group will receive a bolus dose of lidocaine followed by a continuous infusion over 24 hours. The control group will get an equal volume of saline. The investigators will compare pain scores, opioid use, and narcotic equivalents based on body weight and burn surface area (BSA) grafted.
NCT02950701
The purpose of this study is to collect non-invasive opportunity sample data in suspected or known cases of carbon monoxide poisoning.
NCT01459679
The objectives of this study are to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of three treatment regimens for corneal collagen cross-linking performed with VibeX (riboflavin ophthalmic solution) and the KXL System in impeding the progression of, and/or reducing maximum corneal curvature.
NCT00940095
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that clazosentan, administered as a continuous intravenous infusion at either 5 mg/h or 15 mg/h until Day 14 post aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), reduces the incidence of cerebral vasospasm-related morbidity and all-cause mortality within 6 weeks post-aSAH treated by endovascular coiling. The primary endpoint of the study is the occurrence of cerebral vasospasm-related morbidity, and mortality of all-causes within 6 weeks post-aSAH, defined by at least one of the following: 1. Death (all causes). 2. New cerebral infarct(s) due to cerebral vasospasm as either the primary or relevant contributing cause, or not adjudicated to be entirely due to causes other than vasospasm. 3. Delayed ischemic neurological deficit (DIND) due to cerebral vasospasm as either the primary or relevant contributing cause, or not adjudicated to be entirely due to causes other than vasospasm. 4. Administration of a valid rescue therapy in the presence of confirmed cerebral vasospasm on angiography (DSA or CTA). An independent Critical Events Committee (CEC) will adjudicate whether or not patients meet the primary endpoint and its individual morbidity components.
NCT00262041
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Novartis Meningococcal ACWY Conjugate Vaccine in comparison to licensed meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine administered to healthy adolescents ages 11 to 17 years.
NCT00699283
Antiepileptic Drugs (AEDs) are the main treatment for epilepsy; however, only a limited number of AEDs are approved for use as monotherapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of BRV in the conversion of partial onset seizure patients from combination treatment to monotherapy.
NCT00546078
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) has been clearly established as the central cause of cervical cancer. This study will further evaluate induction of immune memory and anamnestic responses in women who previously took part in the primary study (580299/001) and follow-up study (580299/007). Subjects were aged 15-25 yrs at the time of entry into the primary study and participation in the follow-up study lasted approximately 6 years. In the primary and follow-up studies, subjects were protected against HPV-16 and HPV-18 endpoints and had sustained antibody responses to both vaccine types over at least 5.5 years of follow-up. All subjects from North American study sites that completed the follow-up study will be invited to take part in the current study. The study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a dose of GSK Biologicals HPV vaccine (580299) in women who had been immunologically primed in the primary study. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.
