NCT02145468
Losmapimod is a new anti-inflammatory medication which potentially may benefit patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome, (ACS), a condition which includes heart attack. There is a growing understanding that the inflammatory response to ACS is integral to the subsequent evolution of plaque instability. Losmapimod inhibits p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), an enzyme which may play a central role in inflammation in the setting of heart attack. Inhibition of p38 MAPK may stabilize atherosclerotic plaques, reduce the risk of subsequent plaque rupture, indirectly improve vascular function and prevent subsequent thrombosis, and thus reduce infarct size and the risk of subsequent cardiac events. This study will test whether losmapimod can safely reduce the risk of a subsequent cardiovascular event (such as death, heart attack, or near heart attack requiring urgent treatment ) when started immediately after ACS (specifically, heart attack). Patients who present with heart attack and qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive 3 months treatment with either losmapimod twice daily or placebo, which will be administered in addition to the usual standard of care therapies for heart attack. Following the in-hospital period, subjects will return for outpatient visits at 4 and 12 weeks, as well as a follow up visit at 24 weeks.
NCT00899496
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer and from healthy participants may help doctors learn more about cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at an assay in determining cancer resistance in patients with metastatic cancer and in healthy participants.
NCT00337233
RATIONALE: Yoga may improve symptoms and quality of life and reduce stress in patients with ovarian cancer or breast cancer and may help them live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well yoga works in controlling symptoms and reducing stress in women with ovarian cancer or breast cancer.
NCT00899860
RATIONALE: Studying the genes and proteins expressed in tissue samples from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating gene and protein expression in normal tissue and tumor tissue from patients who have undergone surgery for kidney cancer.
NCT01942720
This study is designed to evaluate the performance of VCE in the assessment of mucosal inflammation 6 months after the first VCE procedure
NCT00448201
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine, before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer or abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Immunosuppressive therapy may improve bone marrow function and may be an effective treatment for hematologic cancer or other disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well giving busulfan and fludarabine with or without antithymocyte globulin followed by donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer or other disease.
NCT00995722
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of prednisone in patients diagnosed with ocular myasthenia. Funding Source - FDA OOPD
NCT01648140
GSK2336805 is a novel hepatitis C virus (HCV) non-structural 5A (NS5A) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. This Phase II, multicenter, parallel-group, randomized, dose-ranging study will assess the safety and tolerability, antiviral activity, and pharmacokinetics of GSK2336805 at 2 dose levels (40 and 60 mg) in combination with pegylated interferon alfa-2a (PEG) and ribavirin (RIBA) in approximately 100 treatment-naïve subjects with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection. In a separate nonrandomized single-arm cohort, up to 15 treatment-naïve subjects with genotype 4 chronic HCV infection will be enrolled in parallel at the dose level of 60 mg of GSK2336805.
NCT01453491
The purpose of this research study is to: * 1\) Test the safety and tolerability of 2 different oral doses of SRT2104 in subjects with ulcerative colitis * 2\) Determine the amount of SRT2104 measured from a single blood sample in addition to colon and/or rectal tissue samples (biopsies) * 3\) Determine whether SRT2104 has any anti-inflammatory effect on the colon and/or rectum when taken orally for 8 weeks * 4\) Determine whether SRT2104 causes any detectable changes to specific biomarkers. A biomarker is a biological marker (or substance such as a protein) that is used as an indicator of changes in a biological state that corresponds to the risk or progression of a disease.
NCT00925600
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate new or worsening lens opacifications in men with non-metastatic prostate cancer receiving denosumab for bone loss due to androgen deprivation therapy.
NCT00996307
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different combinations of A/H1N1 2009 (swine flu) vaccine in healthy young children
NCT00242840
This study will assess the efficacy of subsequent protease inhibitor (PI)-containing therapy in subjects who have acquired HIV-1 protease mutations whilst receiving a GW433908 (fosamprenavir)-containing regimen.
NCT01221311
The current standard of care for benign bile duct strictures involves placement of multiple plastic stents under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance to progressively dilate or stretch it open. This approach necessitates multiple procedures which may extend over one year before the stricture is adequately dilated. The investigators propose a study comparing the standard approach of plastic stenting with the use of newer, fully coated metallic stents which are self-expandable, thereby permitting successful dilation of benign bile duct strictures with fewer procedures.
NCT01466153
The overall purpose of the study was to determine if MEDI-551, when used in combination with salvage chemotherapy (bendamustine) in participants with relapsed or refractory CLL who are not eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), had superior efficacy compared to rituximab in the same population.
NCT00063479
The primary purpose of this trial is to evaluate whether the investigational medication is safe, effective and has the ability to increase spine bone density in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients.
NCT00811733
Given the tolerability and efficacy of ofatumumab in follicular lymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and the need to improve therapy for patients with WM utilizing a non-myelosuppressive agent this phase II trial of ofatumumab is being initiated in patients with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia (WM).
NCT01194973
The record Primary purpose is to assess the efficacy of eculizumab in adult patients with Atypical Hemolytic- Uremic Syndrome (aHUS) to control Thrombotic Microangiopathy (TMA) as characterized by thrombocytopenia, hemolysis and renal impairment.
