NCT00027833
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tetanus toxoid may make tumor cells more sensitive to chemotherapy and vaccine therapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy and vaccine therapy with or without tetanus toxoid compared with chemotherapy alone in treating patients who have metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT00026416
RATIONALE: Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of cancer cells. Combining interferon alfa and thalidomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining interferon alfa and thalidomide in treating patients who have undergone surgery for soft tissue sarcoma or bone sarcoma.
NCT00003284
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose combination chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with lung cancer.
NCT00436709
RATIONALE: 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 breast cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving bevacizumab together with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and bevacizumab works in treating patients who have undergone surgery for early-stage breast cancer.
NCT00389675
This is a double-blind, active-controlled, long-term study of a new experimental drug called darusentan. Darusentan in not currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means that a doctor cannot prescribe this drug. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of darusentan (optimized dose) as compared to an active control, administered orally.
NCT00373139
It is common practice in the emergency medicine department to rapidly assess pregnancy status through the use of either urine or serum in pregnancy tests. Using whole blood instead of urine would facilitate a much more rapid emergency department identification of pregnancy status. No study to date has utilized whole blood for rapid detection of pregnancy status. Set in the busy adult emergency room at Maimonides Medical Center, this study will recruit a sample of women of reproductive age (18-55), who fit the inclusion criteria of being healthy and in need of a pregnancy test for own purpose or diagnostic testing/treatment. Blood samples will be taken from the participants and used in the hCG kits and the remaining blood was sent to the chemistry laboratory to perform the reference gold standard. The reference gold standard for a positive test is an hCG level \>25mlU/ml. The research investigators and lab will be blinded to each other's results. Kappa statistics will be done for the measurement agreement between urine pregnancy results and whole blood pregnancy results, and whole blood results with laboratory results.
NCT00503542

Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill melanoma cells. Combining vaccine therapy with interleukin-2 may be an effective treatment for stage III or stage IV melanoma. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy with or without interleukin-2 in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV melanoma that cannot be surgically removed.
NCT00909259
The purpose of this feasibility study is to determine the effect of stimulating the phrenic nerve to treat periodic breathing (a pattern of breathing characterized by hyperpneas followed by hypopneas or apneas). Clinically, these physiologic events translate into sleep fragmentation, excessive daytime sleepiness, reduced exercise capacity, and possibly ventricular arrhythmias. Stage 1 of the study is acute in nature, such that subjects will undergo the placement of a stimulation lead, followed by assessment of stimulation of the phrenic nerve using the lead for up to 2 nights of sleep. A sensing lead may also be placed during the initial implant procedure. Observational data will be obtained and stimulation provided using an externalized system connected to the study leads. Following the study, all investigational components will be removed from the patient. Stage 2 of the study is being conducted at one of the participating sites to determine the initial safety of chronic stimulation of the phrenic nerve in a limited number of patients with sleep disordered breathing. It is anticipated that data obtained in this feasibility study will show that the proposed intervention can modify respiration with a low incidence of adverse effects. The results of this trial are intended to be used to develop a subsequent protocol for a multi-center study of chronic phrenic nerve pacing.
