NCT00000653
To evaluate and compare the long-term (48-177 weeks) safety, tolerance, and efficacy of two doses of zalcitabine ( dideoxycytidine; ddC ) taken orally every 8 hours in children with symptomatic HIV infection who have one of the following: intolerance to zidovudine ( AZT ) (development of toxicity during prolonged AZT therapy), demonstrated disease progression after 6 months of AZT therapy, OR both AZT intolerance and disease progression after 6 months of AZT therapy. As useful as AZT appears to be in the treatment of patients infected with HIV, it is associated with significant toxicity in some patients, and it does not prevent ultimate progression to AIDS and eventual mortality. Thus, there is a clear need for new antiretroviral drugs, and ddC is one such promising agent.
NCT02718131
The current study proposes adding BMP-2 (INFUSE), an anabolic agent, at the surgical site of TPA (tibial pseudarthrosis) repair in children with NF1, compared to a control group of patients treated surgically without BMP-2. The following Specific Aims will be addressed: 1) to determine if use of an osteogenic agent (BMP-2) at the time of surgical repair of TPA in NF1 patients will result in improved bone healing; 2) to document safety of BMP-2 in a pediatric NF1 population; and 3) to collect, process, and preserve biologic specimens at the time of surgery for future studies.
NCT02266888
In this study, doctors are trying to see if a study drug called rituximab (Rituxan®) will lower the number of B cells in the body. Doctors are also trying to see if decreasing B cells with rituximab (Rituxan®) can prevent injury to the transplanted lung. This treatment has been studied in other types of solid organ transplants.

NCT00464646
The main purpose is to learn if adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy and trastuzumab to treat HER2-positive breast cancer will affect heart function. This study will evaluate: * How bevacizumab, given with chemotherapy, and then bevacizumab given with trastuzumab after surgery, will affect breast tumors * Side effects from adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy and trastuzumab * Whether adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy and trastuzumab for breast cancer will affect the heart * If receiving bevacizumab will have any effect on how patients recover from surgery
NCT02284542
The primary objective is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a non-awake implantation method (EMG neuromonitoring) of a SCS paddle lead as compared to an awake implantation method (with local anesthesia and patient feedback).This is a post-market, prospective, multicenter, parallel designed, non-randomized, non-blinded, 6-month study. A minimum of 50 patients will be implanted from up to 4 active sites, coordinated by a single lead investigator. Patients who have had a successful SCS trial and are indicated for permanent implantation will be approached to participate in this study prior to permanent implantation. Patients will be recruited and enrolled by physicians at any one of the involved sites. Each Investigator will only use one method (awake or non-awake) according to his/her typical practice. Patients will receive treatment from their enrolling physician.
NCT00522535
Purpose of this study: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lombard Medical endovascular Aorfix™ AAA bifurcated stent graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic, aorto-iliac and common iliac aneurysms with anatomies including angled aorta, angled aneurysmal body, or both, between 0° and 90°. Study hypothesis: The primary efficacy hypothesis is the proportion of grafts remaining free from endoleak, migration, and fracture at 12 months. Efficacy: The 12 month, all cause mortality rate in the Aorfix™ group will be non-inferior to the 12 month, all cause mortality rate in the Open Control group. Safety: The rates of early serious adverse events between 0 and 30 days post-operative in the Aorfix™ groups will be non-inferior to the early serious adverse event rates between 0 and 30 days post-operative in the Open Control group.
NCT01321177
The purpose of this study is to determine how services should be provided to reduce symptoms and improve life functioning for adolescents and adults who have been recently diagnosed with schizophrenia.
NCT00958789
This study will be a prospective, non-randomized evaluation of the change between preoperative and postoperative outcomes for those receiving the Triathlon® TS Total Knee System for a revision knee operation. The mean total Knee Society Score (for pain, motion and function) change is not 10% worse than, or is superior to, the expected change according to published revision total knee replacement data, for cases implanted with the Triathlon® TS Total Knee System as compared from preoperative to 2 years postoperative.
NCT01111552
This will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an oral Aripiprazole/Escitalopram combination therapy in participants with MDD who have demonstrated an incomplete response to a prospective trial of Escitalopram, and report a treatment history for the current MDD episode of an inadequate response to at least one and no more than three adequate trials of an approved antidepressant other than Escitalopram. An inadequate response is defined as less than a 50% reduction in depressive symptom severity as assessed by the participant's self-report on the Massachusetts General Hospital Antidepressant Treatment Response Questionnaire (ATRQ) and evaluated by the investigator as part of the participant's medical and psychiatric history. An adequate trial is defined as an antidepressant treatment for at least 6 weeks duration (or at least 3 weeks for combination treatments) at an approved dose as specified in the ATRQ.
NCT00272493
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a naturally occurring substance that is made by the body in response to infection or inflammation, and greatly improves cellular immune responses. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GM-CSF as an adjuvant to improve the immune response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination in HIV infected individuals.
NCT00936858
Since thyroid cancer becomes refractory to radioactive iodine, treatment options are very limited. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as sorafenib have recently shown promise. This trial seeks to expand treatment options for this disease with a new, oral drug called RAD001. It is an inhibitor of the mTOR pathway and has shown activity in neuroendocrine cancers of the gastrointestinal tract and has been approved for the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer.
