NCT01349192
Purpose: There has been a recent, rapid increase in prevalence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among patients with Cystic Fibrosis (22% across US CF centers in 2009). Some epidemiologic studies suggest possible worse outcomes, a recent analyses showing this with chronic but not intermittent MRSA. Given the chronic difficult to treat lung infections in CF it is unclear how the onset of MRSA should be approached. This randomized, controlled, interventional study seeks to determine if an early eradication protocol is effective for eradication of MRSA and will provide an opportunity to obtain data regarding early clinical impact of new isolation of MRSA. Participants: Cystic fibrosis patients with new isolation of MRSA from their respiratory culture on a routine clinic visit. Procedures (methods): Randomized, open-label, multi-center study comparing use of an eradication protocol to an observational group who receives the current standard of care i.e. treatment for MRSA only with pulmonary exacerbations.
NCT02279420
This is a multicenter, un-blinded, open label, pivotal supplemental study to G130163 intended to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treating previous sham subjects in the Essential pivotal trial (IDE#G130163) with the active treatment (the placement of g-Cath EZ suture anchors along with diet and exercise). Compliant sham subjects (those who attended all primary IDE follow-up visits AND who continue to meet eligibility criteria as described in this protocol) will be offered this active treatment after their 12 month unblinding visit in the Essential pivotal trial.
NCT00515099
Antithymocyte globulin (e.g., Thymoglobulin®) is an antibody preparation that is commonly used to treat and prevent organ transplant rejection. The START trial aims to determine whether antithymocyte globulin (ATG) treatment can halt the progression of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes when given within 12 weeks of disease diagnosis.
NCT02058160
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of the insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed ratio combination (FRC) to insulin glargine in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change from baseline to Week 30. Secondary Objective: To compare the overall efficacy and safety of insulin glargine/lixisenatide FRC to insulin glargine (with or without metformin) over a 30 week treatment period in participants with type 2 diabetes.
NCT00956670
This clinical trial studies lymphedema after surgery in patients with endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, or vulvar cancer. Collecting information over time about how often lymphedema occurs in patients undergoing surgery and lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and vulvar cancer may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment.
NCT02171156
To provide early access and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
NCT01222715
This randomized phase II trial studies how well vinorelbine tartrate and cyclophosphamide work in combination with bevacizumab or temsirolimus in treating patients with recurrent or refractory rhabdomyosarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine tartrate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of rhabdomyosarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective when given together with bevacizumab or temsirolimus in treating rhabdomyosarcoma.
NCT01733030
PROJECT SUMMARY: PTSD is a debilitating psychiatric condition precipitated by exposure to extreme, or life threatening, trauma with an estimated lifetime prevalence between 8% and 9% in U.S. adults. One core symptom of PTSD is intense psychological distress in the presence of stimuli that "resemble" one or more aspects of the trauma experience (DSM-IV). This phenomenon referred to as stimulus generalization has received surprisingly little empirical testing in the context of clinical anxiety in general, and PTSD more specifically. The current proposal represents the first effort to study the neurobiology and pharmacology of this PTSD-relevant learning phenomenon across those with and without PTSD. The objective of this particular proposal is to apply fMRI and pharmacologic methods to: 1) identify brain mechanisms associated with generalization of conditioned fear and 2) examine the pharmacologic modifiability of levels of generalization using a partial agonist at the NMDA receptor complex (D-cycloserine) shown to increase discrimination of CS+ (danger cue) and CS- (safety cue) in animal studies.
NCT01928771
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Benralizumab reduces the number of asthma exacerbations in patients who remain uncontrolled on high doses of ICS-LABA.
NCT01637272
multi-center, phase II study evaluating efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of pasireotide in patients with dumping syndrome
NCT00530816
To evaluate the best overall response rate, safety and tolerability of carfilzomib in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
NCT01003990
The purpose of this study is to provide atazanavir or tenofovir-emtricitabine to HIV-infected subjects who have completed atazanavir or tenofovir-emtricitabine therapy on a previous BMS sponsored clinical trial and to collect long-term safety information on the treated population.
NCT01131832
The substantial range of individual responsiveness to plant sterols has important ramifications. Marked differences across individuals in particular aspects of the cholesterol metabolic pathway must alter the impact of plant sterol consumption. As such, a pronounced need exists to understand the genetic and metabolic factors that explain the substantial degree of heterogeneity in response of lipid concentrations to plant sterols across individuals. The primary focus of this trial is to delineate the impact of differing cholesterol synthesis levels on response of LDL-C and other plasma lipids to plant sterol consumption. Participants pre-identified as high or low endogenous cholesterol synthesizers, according to their screening level of lathosterol to cholesterol ratios, will be given PS or a placebo containing margarine to consume under supervision for 4 weeks in a crossover design. The trial will characterize the responsiveness of the participants' total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol, as well as triacylglycerol (TG) concentrations, to plant sterol consumption. This research will determine if cholesterol synthesis phenotype predicts the responsiveness of lipids to plant sterol consumption. Variations in candidate genes involved in cholesterol metabolism will also be investigated in order to find associations with both cholesterol metabolism phenotypes and responsiveness of lipids to plant sterols. The output of this research will be to advance the knowledge of which genetic factors influence the degree of cardiovascular benefit derived from plant sterols through lipid lowering.
NCT02276560
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether giving cisplatin and nab-paclitaxel before surgery will reduce the presence of disease in certain areas of the lung at the time of surgery.
NCT01342926
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of GSK933776 in the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
NCT01821118
Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) is a condition caused by the build-up of a protein called amyloid, predominantly Aβ40, within the walls of brain blood vessels, especially those blood vessels in the occipital lobe of the brain. Probable CAA may be defined as two or more hemorrhages in the brain cortex in individuals 55 years of age or older. This study will examine the study drug (PF-04360365) vs. placebo (saline) at 10 mg/kg - Day 1 and the maintenance dose of the study drug (PF-04360365) vs. placebo (saline) at 7.5mg/kg on Days 30 and 60. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study medication.
