NCT00110019
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin, paclitaxel, and sorafenib tosylate to see how well they work compared to carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients with stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with sorafenib tosylate is more effective than carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating melanoma.
NCT01144182
Heart failure (HF) greatly increases mortality and lowers quality of life (QOL). HF is the most common indication for readmission in older adults and the most frequent reason for 30-day readmission. Medications and restriction of dietary sodium constitute crucial therapy to lower HF recurrence. However, adherence to medications and dietary recommendations is low in HF patients. Nonadherence is often due to an interaction among the environment, the patient and providers. In the VALOR in Heart Failure Study, we will assess a novel quality improvement program (QIP) to improve HF care using a pretest-posttest design. This interdisciplinary theory-based prospective experimental study will target improving HF treatment using patient-based behavioral and checklist intervention, as well as provider and system-targeted checklists and treatment defaults (posttest or intervention phase); this will be compared to current best practice (CBP) evaluated in the pretest (pretest or pre-intervention) phase. It is hypothesized that the QIP, which intervenes on patient, provider and system levels, will improve QOL and lower HF recurrence compared to CBP.
NCT00874315
RATIONALE: - Relapsed or refractory Neuroblastoma (NBL) carries a very poor prognosis and children with relapsed NBL have an overall 3 year survival rate of \< 10%. Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant from a different donor (allogeneic), is a form of adoptive cellular therapy , such that infused donor cells find host tumors as foreign and fight them. After transplant, the donor immune cells (i.e. T cells, NK cells) mediate Graft versus Tumor (GVT) effect and may stop tumor from recurring. Also,reduced intensity transplants lead to minimal toxicity and less risk of mortality in heavily pre-treated NBL patients. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving a reduced intensity(using Fludarabine, Busulfan and antithymocyte globulin)preparative regimen followed by donor stem cell transplant works in treating young patients with high-risk neuroblastoma that has relapsed or not responded to treatment.
NCT01150357

Primary outcome: To compare routine sperm selection using ICSI with sperm selection using PICSI plates in terms of implantation and fertilization rates for couples with male factor fertility 2. Secondary outcome : To compare live birth rates ,ongoing pregnancies and miscarriage rates for couples with male factor infertility using routine sperm selection with ICSI compared to using PICSI plates for sperm selection Hypothesis: Sperm selected for ICSI using (PICSI) will reveal increased implantation rates in comparison to sperm selected for conventional ICSI
NCT01280123
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial of two dosages of oral pioglitazone (15 milligram(mg) and 45 milligram (mg)) for safety, tolerability, and futility. Subjects who are on stable dose of rasagiline 1 mg/day or selegiline 10 mg/day for at least 8 weeks but no more than 8 months, will be randomized to one of two dosages of oral pioglitazone (15 mg and 45 mg) or matching placebo. The study will measure disease progression by the change in total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score between the baseline visit and 44 weeks.
NCT01170962
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BMS-790052 added to Peginterferon Alfa-2a and ribavirin can result in higher cure rates in patients who previously failed therapy and may have limited response to retreatment with Peginterferon Alfa-2a and ribavirin alone.
NCT00020657
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs may help to reduce or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients being treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing how well different antiemetic drugs work in preventing delayed nausea after chemotherapy in patients who have cancer.
NCT00022074
RATIONALE: Gabapentin may be effective for the control of hot flashes. It is not yet known if gabapentin is effective in treating hot flashes. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of gabapentin in controlling hot flashes in women who have breast cancer.
NCT01922089
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of initiating LCZ696 in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HF-rEF) using conservative (reaching target dose over 6 weeks) and condensed (reaching target dose over 3 weeks) up-titration regimens.
NCT00823030
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of improvement in bladder function and pain relief with the administration of 2% alkalinized lidocaine in patients with interstitial cystitis. Specifically, we want to see if the administration of 2% alkalinized lidocaine treatments in the bladder improves urodynamic test result values. We hope to enroll approximately 40 patients in this study. Previous research has shown that the administration of 2% alkalinized lidocaine in the bladder may improve the bladder's capacity to hold urine and urine flow rates while simultaneously providing pain relief. As part of standard of care at the Smith Institute of Urology Pelvic Pain Center, we routinely offer our IC patients 2% alkalinized lidocaine with follow up urodynamic evaluation. Our research looks to expand upon the prior studies and confirm the findings of improved bladder function and enhanced pain control of 2% alkalinized lidocaine versus placebo by performing a second urodynamic evaluation, which is not routinely performed.
NCT01727713
The goal of the current trial is to determine safety of Once-daily aripiprazole in reducing Total Tic Severity in children and adolescents with Tourette's Disorder.
NCT00437073
This study is for patients with ErbB2 overexpressing breast cancer that has spread to the brain and is still progressing there even after radiation treatment using WBRT (whole brain radiotherapy) or SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) to the brain. The study will determine how safe and effective lapatinib is when given in combination with capecitabine to treat patients with ErbB2 overexpressing breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Lapatinib is an oral drug that will be taken every day. Tests for safety and efficacy will be performed regularly during the course of the study.
NCT00605735
The purpose of this study is to find out if 300 mg of BMS-582949 given once daily will be more effective than placebo after 12 weeks of treatment in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who are also taking methotrexate
NCT01448044
The purpose of this study is to compare the sustained virologic response at post treatment Week 12 for each cohort (BMS-790052/Pegylated-interferon alfa 2a (pegIFNα-2a)/Ribavirin (RBV) versus placebo/PegIFNα-2a/RBV).
NCT00428168
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multinational study. Approximately 78 subjects (39 per treatment group) will be randomized into this 16 week study. A screening visit will be used to determine subject suitability for inclusion in the trial. Within 7 days of the screening visit, subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to 1 of the following 2 treatment groups: * Olanzapine OD plus betahistine 24 mg BID (48 mg/day total), * Olanzapine OD plus matching placebo BID. Double-blind treatment will continue for 16 weeks. During this period, olanzapine dosage will be determined according to the discretion of the treating physician. In addition, 5 study visits (at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks) will take place. Study medication (betahistine or matching placebo) will be administered BID (in the morning and together with olanzapine in the evening). The primary statistical hypothesis to be tested is that the mean change from Baseline to Week 16 will be different between the treatment and placebo groups
NCT01112423
