NCT00856492
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony-stimulating factors, such as pegfilgrastim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving these treatments before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective in treating women with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and pegfilgrastim to compare how well they work when given with or without bevacizumab in treating women with inflammatory or locally advanced breast cancer.
NCT00573560
The CardioKinetix Ventricular Partitioning Device (VPD) is intended to isolate the malfunctioning portion of the left ventricle in patients with symptoms of heart failure due to ischemic heart disease. By isolating the malfunctioning portion of the left ventricle, it is hypothesized that the left ventricle will pump more effectively.
NCT01061736
Primary Objectives: Part A (dose ranging study): To demonstrate that sarilumab (SAR153191/REGN88) on top of MTX was effective on reduction of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at 12 weeks. Part B (pivotal study): To demonstrate that sarilumab added to MTX was effective in: * reduction of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at 24 weeks * inhibition of progression of structural damage at 52 weeks * improvement in physical function at 16 weeks Secondary Objectives: Part B: To demonstrate that sarilumab added to MTX was effective in induction of a major clinical response at 52 weeks To assess the safety of sarilumab added to MTX To document the pharmacokinetic profile of sarilumab added to MTX in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis who were inadequate responders to MTX therapy.
NCT01768572
Primary Objective: To assess, in the same study, the safety of sarilumab and tocilizumab in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were inadequate responders to or intolerant of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists.
NCT00232505
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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. Cetuximab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, 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 cetuximab together with carboplatin is more effective than giving cetuximab alone in treating metastatic breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying cetuximab and carboplatin to see how well they work compared with cetuximab alone in treating women with estrogen receptor-negative (ER-), progesterone receptor-negative (PR-) metastatic breast cancer.
NCT01414595
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research trial studies tissue samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00417040
This pilot clinical trial studies how well using the internet to collect symptoms and the ability to carry out daily activities works in patients with enrolled on Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) studies. A study that evaluates a patient's ability to use a clinic waiting room computer to report their symptoms and their ability to carry out daily activities may help doctors understand a patient's use of a computer to report symptoms.
NCT02107235
The working hypothesis is that oral rigosertib treatment when added to platinum-based Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) will improve progression-free survival for first-line patients with intermediate- or high-risk human papillomavirus negative positive (HPV (+)) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This study will determine the highest safe dose of oral rigosertib that can be used with cisplatin and CRT. This study will also record any side effects that may occur and measure tumor sizes and how long patients live.
NCT00030940
This study will explore the role of various immune factors involved in producing the disease symptoms in stiff-person syndrome (SPS) and follow disease progression in patients. SPS is a progressive disease in which unexpected noises, touches or stressful events set off muscle spasms and stiffness. It is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which the body produces antibodies that attack certain healthy tissues. A better understanding of the disease may help researchers design new therapies. Patients of any age with SPS may be eligible for this study, except those who: * Lack of serum anti-GAD antibodies * Have very advanced disease that precludes traveling * Have severe cardiovascular, renal, or other end-organ-disease states Candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical and neurological examinations to confirm the diagnosis of SPS. After screening, those enrolled in the study will be followed at the NIH Clinical Center every 6 months for 2 years (months 6, 12, 18, and 24) to have the following tests and procedures: * Physical and neurological examinations and review of symptoms (every visit) * Blood draw for routine tests and for research studies (every visit) * Stiffness assessment (every visit) - Patients are asked a series of questions about their stiffness, which physicians rate according to the number of stiff areas (e.g., 0-no stiff areas; 1-stiffness of the lower trunk; 2-stiffness of the upper trunk, etc.). * Lymphapheresis (at the beginning of the study and at 12 months) - This is a procedure for collecting large quantities of white blood cells. A needle is placed in a vein in the arm. Blood flows from the vein through a plastic tube (catheter) into a machine that spins the blood, separating it into its components. The white blood cells (lymphocytes) are removed, and the rest of the blood-plasma, red cells and platelets-is returned to the body through a second needle placed in the other arm. * Electrophysiologic studies - These studies include electromyography and nerve conduction testing. For electromyography, a small needle is inserted into a few muscles and the patient is asked to relax or to contract the muscles. The electrical activity of the muscle cells is recorded and analyzed by a computer. For nerve conduction testing, nerves are stimulated through small wire electrodes attached to the skin, and the response is recorded and analyzed. * Lumbar puncture (at the beginning of the study and at 12 months) - This procedure is done to examine the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which bathes the brain and spinal cord. After a local anesthetic is administered, a needle is inserted in the space between the bones in the lower back where the CSF circulates below the spinal cord. About 2 tablespoons of fluid is collected through the needle.
NCT00331058
The primary goal of this study is to compare the expression of key GSK drug targets across the 4 asthma phenotypes and healthy subjects and secondarily to evaluate changes in target expression in response to a 2-week course of corticosteroids across the 4 asthma phenotypes. Each asthmatic subject in this study will undergo two bronchoscopies. Each healthy subject will undergo one bronchoscopy.

Single doses in healthy subjects and the effect of food on GSK2336805 PK (Part 1). ii. Repeat doses in healthy subjects (Part 2) iii. Single doses in chronically infected HCV positive subjects (Part 3).
NCT00607997
This study will evaluate the overall remission rate of treatment with vosaroxin (formerly voreloxin) Injection in patients at least 60 years of age with previously untreated AML
NCT01317901
This was a Phase 1 multicenter study of bendamustine, rituximab and TRU-016 (BRT) in subjects with relapsed indolent B-cell lymphoma. This was a multiple-dose escalation study to determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of TRU-016 given in combination with rituximab and bendamustine and to determine a safe dosing regimen for the combination in up to 12 subjects with relapsed indolent lymphoma. The originally planned Phase 2 portion, an open-label, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of BRT compared with BR, was not conducted.
NCT03204162
There is significant data showing that the quality of CPR performed is quite poor. Recent studies have shown that when real-time visual corrective feedback is available to CPR providers, quality (compression depth and rate) improves. Pilot work at John's Hopkins Children's Hospital indicates that providing a CPR Coach whose role it is to provide real-time coaching during cardiac arrest, further improves the quality of CPR. This study will assess the impact of a CPR Coach for improving CPR quality and CPR perception in a team of healthcare providers during simulated CPA.
NCT01584531
The primary objectives of this study are to determine if rigosertib sodium, given orally in the form of soft gel capsules, is safe and is associated with a reduction in the number of blood transfusion units that are needed in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) classified as Low or Intermediate-1 (Int-1) (any cytogenetics) or trisomy 8 Intermediate 2 (Int-2) in the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) who are transfusion-dependent. Rigosertib will be taken on days 1 to 21 of a 21-day cycle.
NCT01048619
In other clinical studies, ON 01910.Na has been safely given intravenously to Patients with advanced cancers. However, to treat some Patients, it may be better if ON 01910.Na could be given by mouth. This study will determine if it is safe to give ON 01910.Na by mouth, what is the highest dose can be safely given by mouth, and how much of the drug gets from the stomach into the blood stream when it is given by mouth.
