NCT00064012
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. It is not yet known whether bortezomib is more effective with or without docetaxel in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of bortezomib with or without docetaxel in treating patients who have relapsed or refractory stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00989261
AC220 will be administered as a once daily oral solution given continuously as 28-day treatment cycles, without any rest periods, until disease progression, relapse, intolerance to the drug, or elective allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
NCT00031538
This study will analyze tissue and blood samples from patients with gliomas (a type of brain tumor) to develop a new classification system for these tumors. Tumor classification can help guide treatment, in part by predicting how aggressive a tumor may be. Gliomas are currently classified according to their grade (how quickly they may grow) and the type of cells they are composed of. This system, however, is not always accurate, and sometimes two tumors that appear to be identical under the microscope will have very different growth patterns and responses to treatment. The new classification system is based on tumor genes and proteins, and may be used in the future to better predict a given tumor s behavior and response to therapy. Patients with evidence of a primary brain tumor and patients with a known glioma who will be undergoing surgery to remove the tumor may participate in this study. A sample of tumor tissue removed in the course of a participant s normal clinical care will be used in this study for laboratory analysis of genes and chromosome abnormalities. A small blood sample will also be collected for genetic analysis. In addition, clinical information on patients condition and response to treatment will be collected every 6 months over several years. This information will include findings from physical and neurologic examinations, radiographic findings, and response to therapy, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
NCT03110692
The goal of this study is to reduce preference sensitive, unnecessary daily imaging during radiation treatment in which a pre-planned quality improvement default option for radiation treatment prescriptions will be introduced throughout the network of Penn Radiation Oncology.
NCT01667549

The investigators will conduct a randomized within- and between-subject study of women and their infants during a 15-month window.
NCT01561495
This is a study of proton radiotherapy for the pre- or post- operative treatment of patients with extremity sarcoma. This study will treat patients in two dose groups: 1. patients receiving pre-operative proton therapy and 2. patients receiving post-operative proton therapy. In each dose group, the study is divided into two phases. In the first phase of the study, the investigators will determine if treatment with proton therapy is safe and can be delivered on a regular basis. In the second phase, the investigators will determine if proton therapy has less long term side effects compared to standard radiation in both pre-operative patients and post-operative patients.
NCT02065791
The goal of this study is to assess whether canagliflozin has a renal and vascular protective effect in reducing the progression of renal impairment relative to placebo in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), Stage 2 or 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and macroalbuminuria, who are receiving standard of care including a maximum tolerated labeled daily dose of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB).
NCT01484925
This research study hopes to identify new molecular markers in the tissue of Barrett's esophagus that will help physicians better understand and manage this condition. Patients undergoing an upper endoscopy will be asked to complete a gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) questionnaire, provide a blood sample and allow additional biopsies to be taken during the procedure.
NCT02831855
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib modified release formulation (11mg QD) versus tofacitinib modified release formulation plus continued methotrexate treatment in subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who are insufficiently responding to their stable dose of methotrexate treatment.
NCT00625833
This is a trial to investigate the effectiveness and safety of \[S,S\]-Reboxetine in relieving chronic peripheral pain suffered by patients with diabetes. Some evidence for the effectiveness of \[S,S\]- Reboxetine in relieving chronic pain has been seen in 3 completed trials.
NCT03117569
The aim of this study is to determine if treatment monitoring schedule for chronic HCV patients treated with glecaprevir (300mg)/pibrentasvir (120mg) can be simplified. Data has shown that direct acting antiviral (DAA) regimen of glecaprevir (300mg)/pibrentasvir (120mg), a protease inhibitor and NS5A inhibitor respectively , provides key features for HCV treatment simplification. Eligible participants (naïve pre-cirrhosis chronic HCV patients) will be randomized (1:2) to the standard or simplified monitoring arm and will receive treatment for 8 weeks. One post treatment visit will be conducted 12 weeks after the final dose of study medication to evaluate the proportion of patients with undetectable HCV RNA at this timepoint (SVR12).
NCT00628251
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of drug AZD2281 against liposomal doxorubicin to see which is effective and well tolerated in treating patients with measurable BRCA1- or BRCA2-positive advanced ovarian cancer and who have failed previous platinum therapy.
NCT01671839

NCT02270944
The purpose of the present study is to assess and compare in healthy non-pregnant women 18 to 40 years of age the safety and immunogenicity of a liquid formulation of Group B Streptococcus (GBS) Trivalent Vaccine (not requiring reconstitution prior to administration), and of the lyophilized formulation of GBS Trivalent Vaccine, administered in non-pregnant and pregnant women in the clinical development program to date.
NCT00357435
This study will explore the clinical and hereditary (genetic) features of corneal dystrophy and other inherited corneal disease. Corneal dystrophy is clouding of the cornea - the transparent part of the eye covering the iris and pupil that passes light to the back of the eye. When the cornea becomes cloudy, interfering with the passage of light, vision may be impaired or lost. Corneal problems may occur with vision problems alone, or with other problems, such as changes in facial appearance or bone or joint problems. A better understanding of these genetic conditions may help in the development of better diagnostic tests and methods of disease management. Patients with corneal dystrophies and related corneal disease and their family members may be eligible for this study. Participants will be drawn from patients enrolled in other studies of corneal dystrophy at the NEI and collaborating clinics. Participants will undergo the following tests and procedures: * Medical and surgical history * Verification of diagnosis * Construction of a family tree regarding familial vision problems * Complete eye examination, including dilation of the pupils and photography of the cornea, tests of color vision, field of vision, and the ability to see in the dark, and photographs of the eye. * Blood sample collection to identify the genes responsible for corneal disease and ascertain how they cause disease.
