NCT00437060
This clinical trial is looking at brain function in young patients receiving methotrexate for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Learning about the long-term effects of methotrexate on brain function may help doctors plan cancer treatment.
NCT00335556
This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery work in treating patients with high-risk kidney tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
NCT00106938
The study is being conducted to demonstrate the non-inferiority of carotid artery stenting (CAS) using the Emboshield® Embolic Protection System with the Xact® Carotid Stent System to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for the treatment of asymptomatic extracranial carotid atherosclerotic disease.
NCT01723709
The goal of this study is to enroll 1000 participants with a history of Multiple Sclerosis into the MURDOCK Study (Duke IRB Pro00011196) as well as into the Multiple Sclerosis Cohort study (Duke IRB Pro00023791). All 1000 participants will answer a 4-page questionnaire administered by a trained study coordinator which is designed to collect information on the participant's diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. The goal of the study is to seek genetic explanations for response to treatment, progression of the disease, and biomarker validation.
NCT00968162
Most bone marrow transplants for children with sickle cell disease are performed using high doses of two chemotherapy agents: busulfan and cyclophosphamide for the pre-transplant conditioning. This approach produces cure in most cases (approximately 95%). It, however, has serious side effects, including seizures and infertility. The primary goal of this study is to determine how much we can lower the dosages of busulfan and cyclophosphamide by incorporating fludarabine, a safer chemotherapy agent, into conditioning. The secondary goal is to develop a better understanding of how bone marrow transplants cause neurologic problems like seizures.
NCT01324999
This study is designed to assess safety and efficacy of tadalafil in patients with Sarcoidosis Associated Pulmonary Hypertension. Hypothesis: Tadalafil is safe and effective in treating pulmonary hypertension in patients with Sarcoidosis
NCT00448357
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and busulfan, before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, alemtuzumab, before the transplant and tacrolimus after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: The phase I portion of this trial identified the maximum tolerated dose of busulfan after treating 40 patients on a dose-escalation scheme. We are now treating an additional 26 patients on the phase II portion of the trial at a Pharmacokinetic (PK)-directed dose of total area under curve (AUC) 6912 micrometer (uM)-min/24 hours. We transitioned to the Phase II portion of the study in October 2009.
NCT00988442
This study tested a system of nursing telephone support to determine if it improves adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in at-risk, treatment-experienced people.
NCT01308749
The investigators propose to conduct this pilot study to evaluate oxytocin as a supplemental treatment for improving social difficulties in individuals with autism.
NCT01697358
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) using the Medtronic Specify® 5-6-5 multicolumn surgical lead plus optimal medical management (OMM) versus OMM alone in patients suffering from predominant low back pain due to failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).
NCT01920633
This is a single visit study in which people with Down syndrome aged 12-30 will attend the clinical center to undergo assessments to evaluate their eligibility for potential enrollment in the future BP27832 Phase II clinical study which will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RG1662. Study participants may withdraw from this study at any time and for any reason.
NCT02424578
The purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to model the single-dose pharmacokinetic profile of diclofenac capsules low dose and high dose in children ages 6 to \<17 years experiencing mild to moderate acute postoperative pain.
NCT01723423
The MROC Study seeks to evaluate and compare from the patient's point of view the leading options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. This study will help patients, physicians, payers and policy makers better understand the various surgeries available for breast reconstruction. Although many women choose reconstruction, the number of options as well as their pros and cons can make decision making difficult and stressful. From this research, we hope to learn more about what works best for patients undergoing these operations.
NCT00833235
This is a multi-center, prospective, controlled, observational study of the natural history of patients with dry eye disease.
NCT00931801
The purpose of this Phase IV pilot study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and satisfaction of a nucleoside analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI)sparing regimen for participants fully suppressed on an atazanavir/ritonavir based highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)regimen plus emtricitabine/tenofovir (Truvada). Several pharmacologic factors support this concept including the favorable drug interaction between atazanavir and raltegravir. Participants will be randomized to either continue on their current regimen or one of two study arms (atazanavir 300mg plus ritonavir 100mg daily plus raltegravir 400mg twice daily or atazanavir 300mg twice daily plus raltegravir 400mg twice daily). Participants will be followed for 48 weeks for safety, tolerability, and satisfaction. After baseline, the participants will have six clinic visits for evaluation and labs.
NCT01858389
This is a Phase 2 study of oral dacomitinib given every 12 hours over days 1-4 of each two-week cycle to patients with Non-small cell lung cancer. The study includes two groups of patients, those whose tumor has a documented T790M mutation, and those without this mutation. All patients will receive repeated cycles of dacomitinib until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met.
NCT00806676
People with chronic kidney disease are known to have immune response abnormalities, including a diminished response to some vaccinations. Those with chronic kidney disease have a disproportionate burden of HPV 6-, 11-, 16- and/or 18-related genital tract disease. Due to immune response abnormalities, the CKD population may or may not respond to the recommended three-dose regimen of Gardasil®, a vaccine intended to protect against HPV 6-, 11-, 16-, and 18-related genital tract disease. The objective of this study is to measure the antibody response to Gardasil® in female patients 9-21 years of age with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Stage 1-4), end-stage kidney disease (Stage 5 CKD), and status-post kidney transplant. Gardasil® vaccine will be administered according to the FDA-approved schedule. Blood samples to measure antibody levels to vaccine strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) will be obtained at months 0, 7 and 24.
