NCT00116428
This trial compares the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation for PAF with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The investigational catheter being studied is the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® irrigated-tip catheter. At the time of this study, the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® catheter was FDA-approved for commercial distribution in the U.S. for treating patients with Type I atrial flutter and drug refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia post myocardial infarction. The catheter was approved for use in Europe for endocardial ablation for treating cardiac arrhythmias.
NCT02262741
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-exploration and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, antitumor activity, PK, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of MEDI4736 in combination with tremelimumab in subjects with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
NCT00774124
Our objective is to test an innovative approach to improve outcomes among underserved women with gestational diabetes. We ill utilize a multi-lingual, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) -enabled telephone system to facilitate diabetes control and thereby improve pregnancy outcomes. Our hypothesis is that Telemonitoring will improve maternal glycemia, thereby reducing infant birth weights and leading to improved pregnancy outcomes.
NCT01939223
To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of regorafenib versus placebo in subjects with colorectal cancer (CRC) after curative resection of liver metastasis and completion of all planned chemotherapy.
NCT00056160
Randomized subjects will receive CC-5013 plus high-dose dexamethasone or placebo appearing identical to CC-5013 plus high-dose dexamethasone in 4-week cycles. Each subject will participate in a treatment phase and a follow-up phase.
NCT00064753
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if lowering homocysteine levels in renal transplant recipients with a multivitamin will reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease outcomes.
NCT01789242
This is a dose finding study to evaluate the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose of carfilzomib in patients with previously treated systemic light-chain amyloidosis.
NCT00432159
This study is intended to treat patients with symptomatic degenerative disc disease at one level of the cervical spine. The patients will be randomized to the DISCOVER Artificial Cervical Disc (total disc replacement) or SLIM-LOC™ (cervical fusion) to determine the safety and efficacy at 2 years post operative. Follow-up on patients treated with total disc replacement will be continued to 5 years post operative.
NCT01495988
This phase 2 clinical trial randomizes patients with BRAF mutant melanoma to either (1) standard of care (SOC) - BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib in combination with MEK inhibitor cobimetinib; or, (2) SOC plus bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF antibody that suppresses new blood vessel formation and can stimulate the immune system. Previous clinical studies in melanoma have shown that bevacizumab may improve clinical benefit (progression free survival) if combined with ipilimumab or abraxane. Preclinical studies suggest that VEGF increase plays a role in resistance to BRAF inhibitors. This randomized study will ask whether the addition of bevacizumab to targeted therapy SOC in BRAF mutant melanoma can improve response rates and clinical benefit. Patients may have received no therapy for advanced disease or up to 2 prior therapies, excluding BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
NCT01786135
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGN-CD19A in patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL)
NCT01832090
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of Radiesse® Injectable Dermal Filler for hand treatment.
NCT01732445
This phase II pilot trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate and danazol work in treating anemia in patients with myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib phosphate and danazol may cause the body to make more red blood cells. They are used to treat anemia in patients with myelofibrosis.
NCT01658228
Patients presenting with depression (DEP) and cognitive impairment (CI), represent a unique, understudied population that is difficult to diagnose, treat and estimate prognosis. Our pilot data, supported by the literature, suggest that many DEP-CI patients show cognitive decline and often convert to dementia, primarily Alzheimer's disease (AD). In DEP-CI, there is a lack of data on treatment response of mood symptoms to antidepressant treatment and particularly of cognitive deficits to cognitive enhancer treatment. Our initial pilot data in a double-blind study showed that donepezil was superior to placebo in improving memory in antidepressant-treated DEP-CI patients. In a second pilot study, open label es-citalopram plus memantine treatment led to a low rate of conversion to dementia. In this proposed pilot clinical trial, the investigators will evaluate, treat and follow a broad sample of 80 DEP-CI patients at NYSPI/Columbia University Medical Center (N = 40) and Duke University Medical Center (N = 40). Recruitment will be from clinics and/or advertisements. In the treatment protocol, all 80 DEP-CI patients will receive baseline mood and memory assessments and open antidepressant treatment with citalopram for 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, repeat assessment will occur and patients whose depression has responded to citalopram will be randomized to add-on donepezil or placebo. Non-responders to citalopram will receive open treatment with venlafaxine and will be randomized 8 weeks later (16 weeks of open antidepressant treatment) to add-on donepezil or placebo. Patients will be followed for a total period of 18 months with continuous open antidepressant treatment during the trial. Donepezil is being studied in order to increase the likelihood of obtaining a signal. If the results are positive, the investigators can begin clarifying the mechanism(s) in subsequent trials. Baseline apolipoprotein E e4 genotype, odor identification deficits, and MRI hippocampal and entorhinal cortex atrophy will be explored as predictors of donepezil response in the 18-month trial. Improving cognition and delaying conversion to a clinical diagnosis of dementia in this high risk group will enhance quality of life, reduce family burden, and markedly diminish overall health care costs.
NCT02475395
The objective of the study is to evaluate the agreement in measurement of sperm concentration in human semen between lay users with TRAK and a recognized reference method. The study will also include the measurement of matched samples by TRAK when tested by healthcare professionals trained in use of the TRAK device.
NCT00853112
Study will assess PF-00489791 efficacy and safety in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
NCT01641042
The purpose of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of the new meningococcal vaccine 134612 in subjects with increased risk of meningococcal disease and compare it to its activity in healthy subjects.
NCT01603706
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of radial strain imaging using speckle tracking analysis to predict the response to CRT in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) with NYHA functional class 2-4 heart failure and a standard guideline-based CRT indication. Thus assessing the value of lead localization determined by radial strain imaging in a prospective, randomized manner.
NCT02542072
The purpose of this study is to compare the subjective performance of comfilcon A lens against samfilcon A lens after 4 weeks of reusable lens wear.
NCT01966003
The purpose of this research study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ABP 215 against bevacizumab in men and women with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT01015807
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with Clonidine added to the injectate (Clo-TAP) performed approximately 2hrs after the cesarean section (CS) will decrease the amount of postoperative hyperalgesia and ultimately reduce post-CS chronic pain.
