NCT00951496
This randomized phase III trial studies bevacizumab and intravenous (given into a vein) chemotherapy to see how well they work compared with bevacizumab and intraperitoneal (given into the abdominal cavity) chemotherapy in treating patients with stage II-III ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab together with intravenous chemotherapy is more effective than giving bevacizumab together with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
NCT00004067
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy plus trastuzumab is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone for treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with trastuzumab works compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating women with node-positive stage II or stage IIIA breast cancer that overexpresses HER2.
NCT03924674
Intravenous fluids (IVF) are used in hospitalized patients to replenish the fluid and electrolyte losses of patients who cannot take adequate hydration by mouth or through their gut. Inappropriate use of IVF may cause serious problems, including abnormalities in blood electrolytes such as sodium, which can lead to serious but rare neurologic harm; pain and discomfort from multiple IV insertions and subsequent complications (e.g., IV infiltration); and inadequate monitoring for adverse effects. Investigators currently don't know what the most commonly used IVF in hospitalized pediatric patients are, and there are no national benchmark data for IVF use. The American Academy of Pediatrics published a Guideline on maintenance IVF in November 2018, which contains one major recommendation: to use isotonic (having a similar electrolyte concentration to blood plasma) maintenance IVF in medical and surgical patients 28 days to 18 years old without pre-existing serious illnesses. This project aims to better describe and standardize the use of IVF in inpatient pediatric settings across the U.S. and evaluate the impact of an intervention bundle on maintenance IVF use. This project aims to improve health care value by reducing the number of routine laboratory draws. In Quality Improvement research, there are three different types of measures - outcome measures, process measures and balancing measures. In this project, the following will be used as a process measure: The proportion of daily weight measurements for patients on maintenance IVF. The following will be used as balancing measures: 1. There will be no increase in the number of floor-to-PICU transfers during hospitalization from baseline. 2. There will be no increase in the number of serum sodium lab results obtained from baseline. 3. There will be no increase in adverse events prompting a change in clinical management from baseline: hypertension or edema requiring a diuretic, hypertension requiring anti-hypertensive medication, and acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT)/dialysis.
NCT02966834
This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of GSK2330672 administration for the treatment of pruritus (itch) in participants with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Participants will receive either placebo or one of the 4 dose regimens of GSK2330672 (20 milligram \[mg\], 90 mg or 180 mg taken once daily or 90 mg twice daily). Participants on GSK2330672 will also receive placebo tablets to maintain blinding. The study has a prospectively defined adaptive design that will utilize interim data to further inform and potentially optimize the doses under investigation. Hence, additional dose regimen may be added during study. The total duration of a participant in the study will be up to 45 days of screening and 24 weeks of study including follow-up.
NCT01098240

NCT02700464
Clinical trial to determine the efficacy (sensitivity and specificity) of the Bladder EpiCheck test compared to the gold standard cystoscopy and pathology in patients under monitoring for recurrence of bladder cancer.
NCT02879578
Phase 2, open-label, fixed-dose titration study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of NBI-98854 administered once daily for a total of 24 weeks in children, adolescents, and adults with Tourette Syndrome (TS).
NCT02527512
This study will evaluate the safety of povidone-iodine irrigation in pediatric spinal patients by collecting pre- and post-operative safety labwork. Furthermore, the efficacy of povidone-iodine and normal saline irrigation at reducing bacterial contamination of the surgical wound will be measured by collecting cultures before and after irrigation.
NCT03107949
An early feasibility study to investigate the safety and feasibility of the Lungpacer Diaphragm Pacing Therapy System (DPTS) as a therapy to recondition and strengthen the diaphragm of patients who have been intubated and invasively mechanically ventilated for \> or = 7 days, have failed two or more spontaneous breathing trials (SBT), and were not hypervolemic during the latest SBT.
NCT02563067
This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of QAW039 and QAW039 450 mg compared to placebo, when added to GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) steps 4 and 5 standard-of- care (SoC) asthma therapy (GINA 2016) in the following two populations: * patient with inadequately controlled severe asthma and high eosinophil counts (eosinophil count at Visit 1 ≥250 cells/ µl) (sub-population) * patients with inadequately controlled severe asthma (overall study population) Inadequate control is defined as partly controlled or uncontrolled asthma (GINA 2016)
NCT01977547
ABC PICU is a randomized clinical trial that will compare the clinical consequences of RBC storage duration in 1538 critically ill children. Laboratory and observational evidence points to serious concerns about the lack of safety and effectiveness of older RBCs, especially in more vulnerable populations. Physicians and institutions have been systematically transfusing fresh RBCs to some pediatric patients primarily because of beliefs that the use of fresh RBCs improve outcomes. Conversely, the standard practice of blood banks is to deliver the oldest RBC unit in order to decrease blood wastage. To provide much needed high quality evidence to answer the question "do RBCs of reduced storage duration improve outcomes?" The ABC PICU Trial will conduct a RCT comparing development of New or Progressive Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (NPMODS) in critically ill children transfused with either RBCs stored ≤ 7 days or standard issue RBCs (expected mean RBC storage duration of 17-21 days).

NCT03466320
This open-label Phase I study aims at assessing primarily the safety of the NKR-2 treatment administered after a non-myeloablative preconditioning regimen in r/r AML/MDS patients. This Phase I study will contain two different sequential segments. The first segment will determine the recommended investigational treatment option (schedule of preconditioning and NKR-2 dose) and the second segment will expand to a larger number of r/r AML/MDS patients.
NCT01835626
Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery are standard treatments for basal cell carcinoma at most institutions. The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding vismodegib to radiation (chemoradiotherapy) is safe and tolerable. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of combined radiation therapy and vismodegib. This combination may increase the chances of the tumors being destroyed or unable to spread to other parts of the body in people with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
