NCT00025259
This randomized phase III trial is studying different chemotherapy regimens given with or without radiation therapy to compare how well they work in treating children with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's disease. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving the drugs in different combinations may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. It is not yet known if chemotherapy is more effective with or without additional chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy in treating Hodgkin's disease.
NCT00573443
Objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two different doses of AVP-923 (capsules containing either 30 mg of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and 10 mg of quinidine sulfate \[AVP-923-30\] or 20 mg of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and 10 mg of quinidine sulfate \[AVP-923-20\]) when compared to placebo, for the treatment of PBA in a population of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or multiple sclerosis (MS) over a 12-week period. An additional objective is to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of the two different doses of AVP-923 in a subset of the study population. Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) is a condition characterized by involuntary, sudden and frequent episodes of laughing and/or crying out of proportion or incongruous to the underlying emotion of happiness or sadness Other terms used to describe this condition include emotional lability, emotionalism, emotional incontinence, emotional discontrol, excessive emotionalism, and pathological laughing and crying. The outbursts can occur spontaneously or in response to provocative stimuli such as questions or events. A body of evidence suggests that PBA can be modulated through pharmacologic intervention. Dextromethorphan (DM) is a low-affinity uncompetitive antagonist of the N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, reducing the level of excitatory activity. DM also acts at the phencyclidine-binding site, which is part of the NMDA receptor complex. DM is a sigma receptor agonist, suppressing the release of excitatory neurotransmitters. Quinidine (Q) is a known potent inhibitor of cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6), that decreases the metabolism of dextromethorphan and helps to achieve sustained and therapeutic levels of this drug.
NCT02438917
Chronic liver injury leads to the accumulation of proteins in the liver that form dense scars. Liver scar formation is typically a slow process that leads to major organ damage and loss of function over the course of many years. During scar formation the extracellular matrix in the liver changes. The type and quantity of extracellular collagen and other proteins change during tissue remodeling. Some of these changes can be detected by analyzing factors present in blood. Because of the lengthy time course, changes in the rate of liver scar formation and regression are very difficult measure; however, accurate measurements are needed in order to conduct trials of interventions aimed at preventing scar formation and/or promotion scar regression. Current methods have sub-optimal specificity and selectivity. The long term objective of the study is to identify serum proteins that can be used to accurately estimate rates of liver fibrosis progression and regression. The project focusses on a novel methodology that uses stable isotope labeling with deuterated water, D2O, to tag newly-synthesized proteins. Mass spectroscopy is used to identify individual proteins and to quantify the ratio of labeled protein to total protein. This ratio provides information about the rate of synthesis of the protein of interest. This method will be applied to specimens from patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who are about to begin HCV treatment. Treatment is known to reduce liver inflammation and collagen content.
NCT01028508
This study will determine whether medications alone or medications and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) work best to prevent depressive relapse and to improve quality of life for older people with severe mood disorders.
NCT01873794
Cancer related fatigue (CRF) - a persistent sense of exhaustion related to cancer or cancer treatment - can severely interfere with activities of daily living, and has even been reported to be a factor in patient requests for hastened death. CRF can represent a serious clinical problem years after all treatment has ended. There is currently no effective treatment for CRF. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether systematic exposure to light (from a commercially available Litebook) reduces CRF or other symptoms.
NCT01482221
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of AZD6765 in patients with major depressive disorder who exhibit inadequate response to antidepressants. AZD6765 is a channel blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) class of glutamate receptors.
NCT01959503
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Progel Vascular Sealant for use in vascular reconstructions to achieve adjunctive hemostasis by mechanically sealing areas of leakage.
NCT01120834
This will be a phase I/II study of 5-azacitidine in combination with vorinostat in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL. Combination therapy with methyltransferase inhibitors and histone deacetylase inhibitors is highly synergistic in DLBCL cells, and both classes of drugs can also synergize powerfully with standard anti-lymphoma chemotheraputics such as doxorubicin in pre-clinical studies. We hypothesize that azacytidine + vorinostat combination therapy will be safe and effective in selected patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL. We also hypothesize that patients demonstrating objective responses to this combination therapy display specific epigenetic signatures, and that a biomarker or gene classifier can be generated which will identify those patients likely to respond.
NCT00916409
The study is a prospective, randomly controlled pivotal trial, designed to test the efficacy and safety of a medical device, the NovoTTF-100A, as an adjuvant to the best standard of care in the treatment of newly diagnosed GBM patients. The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.
NCT01385137
RATIONALE: An omega-3 fatty acid-enriched nutritional supplement may help improve muscle and bone pain and stiffness caused by hormone therapy in patients with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying omega-3 fatty acid supplements in treating muscle and bone pain and stiffness in patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer receiving hormone therapy.
NCT00056277
A Placebo Controlled Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Medication in Patients with Bipolar Disorder
NCT00287898
RATIONALE: Genetic counseling may work as well over the telephone as it does in-person. It is not yet known whether genetic counseling by telephone is more effective than standard (in-person) genetic counseling in women at risk of carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying telephone-based genetic counseling to see how well it works compared to standard (in-person) genetic counseling in women at risk of carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.
NCT02078492
Hypothesis: Intravenous administration of Ketorolac in a dose of 10 mg is as effective in treating severe acute pain in patients presenting to the ED as 15 mg and 30 mg.

NCT01965106
This study will assess any side effects that may occur when QPI-1007 is injected into the eye in subjects with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma, as well as how long it takes for the body to clear the drug. This study will also test whether QPI-1007, injected into the eye, helps prevent both structural damage of the nerve tissue in the eye and the loss of visual function in subjects with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma.
