NCT00549796
Angioplasty is a procedure which opens blocked heart arteries using balloons and/or stents. Most U.S. states and all national heart organizations require that angioplasty be done only at hospitals that can also perform open heart surgery. The reason for this is that there is a risk that angioplasty can cause injury to the heart artery that might require open heart surgery to fix. Open heart surgery is a backup in case it is needed. The risk that open heart surgery will be needed is very small. Nevertheless, without more research, many state Departments of Health and all national heart organizations do not want to change the requirement for having on-site open heart surgery wherever angioplasty is performed. Some States already allow this; and European heart organizations already allow it, as well. This study is designed to determine whether the safety and benefits of angioplasty are the same at hospitals that perform angioplasty either with or without open heart surgery backup. Patient who enter the study have a heart catheterization at a hospital without a heart surgery program. If they need angioplasty, then they are randomized to either stay at the hospital without heart surgery for their angioplasty or to be transferred for the procedure to a hospital with heart surgery. For every four patients, three stay at the hospital without heart surgery and one is transferred. The study is designed to show that there is no detectable difference between the safety and benefits of the procedure at the two types of hospital (with and without heart surgery). The cost of the procedure at the two hospital types is also compared.
NCT00546767
The purpose of this study is to evaluate three methods of performing home-based assessments in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) prevention trials. The initial in-person assessment will be done in the clinic or at home.
NCT00106899
The purpose of this study is to examine how brain imaging technology can be used with other tests to measure the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). This information will aid future clinical trials by providing a standard assessment tool to measure the effects of treatments being studied.
NCT01856608
Assessing the utility of the Team SA instrument in measuring the effectiveness of communication across disciplines during ICU rounds.
NCT00742625
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with daunorubicin and cytarabine and to see how well it works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
NCT00378612
ACROSS-Cypher® is a prospective, multi-center, open label, single arm study of the Cypher® sirolimus eluting coronary stent in native total coronary occlusion revascularization. The primary endpoint is binary angiographic restenosis at 6 months. The TOSCA-1 trial will be used as the historical control. The hypothesis is that compared with TOSCA-1 patients who were treated with the heparin-coated Palmaz Schatz stent, treatment with the Cypher® sirolimus eluting coronary stent will result in a \>50% relative reduction in 6 month restenosis within the treated segment of the target vessel.
NCT00639418
The purpose of this study is to describe flu vaccine coverage in children under 18 years of age and to examine correlations between in-office flu vaccine coverage and the use of various tactics to increase vaccine coverage.
NCT00060944
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational chemotherapy agent in patients with types of advanced cancer referred to as liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma.
NCT00041938
The purpose of this study is to determine which of two treatments, Warfarin or aspirin, is better for preventing death and stroke in patients with poor heart function. We are now transitioning into the sub-analysis part of the WARCEF patient data. The study has recently completed data analysis for its Primary Aim. All randomized patients have completed their follow up. All study related procedure as per the protocol has been completed. We are now in the extension phase of the study to obtain more patient data to address further aims of the study. No new procedures are performed and data already in place at the sites will be collected (EKG and echocardiograms). The aims for this study extension are: * To assess progression of cardiac dysfunction over time among heart failure patients * To correlate prognosis with cardiac dysfunction
NCT00419393
To provide continued treatment of Keppra XR (Levetiracetam XR) and to assess the long term safety of Keppra XR in subjects with partial onset seizures.
NCT01292187
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral calcitonin (rsCT)tablets in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal women with lower bone mineral density at increased risk of fracture. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine if there is any food effect by comparing the efficacy and safety of oral calcitonin tablets administered at dinner or at bedtime.
NCT01435720
The purpose of this study is to determine how well SNS01-T is tolerated by relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, B cell lymphoma or plasma cell leukemia patients when given by intravenous infusion at various doses.
NCT00939003
This study will evaluate how well adalimumab works in the short and long term in patients with axial spondyloarthritis who are not diagnosed as having either ankylosing spondylitis or psoriatic arthritis.
NCT00074737
The principal goal of this clinical trial is to assess the ability of cenersen sodium (EL625) to improve cancer responsiveness to the established AML therapeutic agent Idarubicin used alone or in combination with Cytarabine (Ara-C). Cenersen sodium is a drug that is designed to block the effects of a protein called p53. Laboratory evidence shows that blocking p53 will make many types of cancer, including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), more sensitive to a variety of established cancer therapeutics while making normal tissues more resistant to the toxic effects of these agents.
NCT00134680
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects (good and bad) that the combination of the drugs letrozole (also called Femara™) and trastuzumab (also called Herceptin®) has on breast cancer. The United States (US) Food and Drug Administration has approved both letrozole and Herceptin for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. Doctors hope that the combination will work better than either drug alone.
NCT00658723
The effectiveness objective of this study is to evaluate whether Fibrin Patch is superior to SURGICEL™ as an adjunct to achieving hemostasis during surgical procedures involving soft tissue bleeding in abdominal, pelvic, retroperitoneal and (non-cardiac) thoracic surgery.
NCT00066430
RATIONALE: Infrared coagulation may be effective in preventing the development of anal cancer in patients who have anal neoplasia. PURPOSE: Pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of infrared coagulation in preventing anal cancer in HIV-positive patients who have high-grade anal neoplasia.
NCT00516243
This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of defined green tea catechin extract in treating women with hormone receptor-negative stage I-III breast cancer. Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of breast cancer.
NCT01712022
Optovue has developed a new feature for mapping corneal epithelial thickness. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of the epithelial thickness measurement. Consented subjects will undergo a series of cornea measurements using optical coherence tomography (OCT) that will be used for analysis.
NCT00687349
This research study is a randomized trial to evaluate a training program that is designed to improve the communication skills of clinicians. The training program focuses on care for patients with serious illnesses and their family members, and assesses effectiveness using patient and family outcomes. The long term goal of this research is to improve communication skills of doctors and nurses, thereby improving patient and family outcomes.
