NCT00710619
This study is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this study is to investigate the at-home-administration of bypassing agents for treatment of bleeding episodes in patients with congenital haemophilia with inhibitors to factors VIII and IX. We are further investigating how bleeding episodes affect the quality of life of the patient and their family or caregivers.
NCT00903175
This study assessed the efficacy and safety of first-line RAD001 followed by second-line sunitinib versus the opposite sequence: first-line sunitinib followed by second-line RAD001 for the treatment of patients with MRCC.
NCT00021255
Primary objective: * Compare disease-free survival in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-neu-expressing node-positive or high-risk node-negative operable breast cancer treated with adjuvant doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel with or without trastuzumab (Herceptin) vs trastuzumab, docetaxel, and carboplatin. Secondary objective: * Compare overall survival of participants treated with these regimens. * Compare the toxic effects (including cardiac) of these regimens in these participants. * Compare quality of life of participants treated with these regimens. * Compare pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy of these regimens in these participants. * For substudy: Compare peripheral levels of shed HER2-neu extracellular domain with fluorescence in situ hybridization in predicting outcome in participants treated with these regimens.
NCT00000535
To test the efficacy of weight loss and sodium restriction, alone and combined, in maintaining the normotensive state following withdrawal of antihypertensive medications in an elderly cohort. Conducted in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging.
NCT01096043
Study CXL-1020-02 employs is designed to further define suitable clinical dosages for CXL-1020 which will be utilized in a later Phase IIb study. The study is conducted in 3 different stages called 'strata" and evaluates the potential utility of this drug for the treatment of patents who are hospitalized with heart failure.
NCT02708524
This is a multi-site, 5-visit, double-masked, dispensing study comparing an investigational contact lens with currently-marketed contact lenses. The objective of the study is to evaluate the comfort of the lenses when worn for 30 (-2/+6) days on daily wear modality.
NCT02522208
This study will investigate cardiovascular parameters using echocardiographic and pharmacokinetics during a daily dose of BiDil and BiDil Extended Release (XR) compared to a study drug free day.
NCT00403637
The study is designed to obtain safety and efficacy data on three dose levels of indacaterol when delivered via an SDDPI in patients with persistent asthma. All patients will receive 1 day of treatment with each of the following: indacaterol 150 µg, indacaterol 300 µg, indacaterol 600 µg, placebo, and formoterol. Each treatment day will be followed by a washout-period of 1 week
NCT01704742
This study will help researchers learn more about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma and how it is treated in Kenya. Researchers want to see if having certain viruses like Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and Kaposi's Sarcoma Herpes Virus (KSHV) affects lymphoma. Patients in Kenya who agree to be in this study will let the resesarchers look at their medical record, follow their normal cancer care, and have blood drawn to look at different proteins and viruses. Researchers would also like to look at part of the original tumor that was taken out of each patient. Some of these samples will be stored at Kenyatta National Hospital and research will be done on them later. This study does not involve any change in treatment, but only allows the study team to follow how a patient in Kenya with lymphoma is treated.
NCT01232634
The purpose of this study is to test the external validity of the systemic ultrasound protocol for data acquisition and interpretation, in order to diagnose soft tissue and osteochondral abnormalities in hemophilic children.
NCT01599650
This study will generate comparative data for 0.5-mg ranibizumab using PRN dosing administered with or without adjunctive laser treatment versus laser photocoagulation (the current standard of care) up to Month 6 in patients with visual impairment due to ME secondary to BRVO. Additionally the results of this study will provide long-term (24-month) safety and efficacy data for ranibizumab, administered with or without adjunctive laser treatment in this indication.
NCT01787968
T. cruzi has been divided into two main lineages: T. cruzi I (TcI) and T. cruzi II (TcII, including all non-TcI). TcI is predominant in Mexico and Central America, while TcII (non-TcI) is predominant in most of South America, including Argentina. In recent studies from Argentina, the risk of congenital transmission has been estimated to vary between 2.6 percent and 7.9 percent. By contrast, we know very little about the congenital transmission of TcI. It has been suggested that congenital transmission of T. cruzi is strain related, and there is an urgent need to know if TcI transmits differently than TcII (non-TcI). Our primary hypothesis is that congenital transmission rates are different for TcI versus TcII. Our secondary hypothesis is that the characteristics of T. cruzi infected mothers (e.g., age, parity, transmission in previous pregnancies) and their exposure to vectors are different in regions where TcI is predominant versus regions where TcII (non-TcI) is predominant. To test these hypotheses, we propose to conduct a prospective study to enroll at delivery 13,000 women in Mexico, 7,500 women in Honduras, and 10,000 women in Argentina. We will measure transmitted maternal T. cruzi antibodies in cord blood, and, if the results are positive, we will identify infants who are congenitally infected by performing parasitological examinations on cord blood and at 4-8 weeks, and serological follow-up at 10 months. We will also perform standard PCR, real-time quantitative PCR, and T. cruzi genotyping on maternal blood, standard PCR and T. cruzi genotyping on the cord blood of congenitally infected newborns, and serological examinations on siblings. We will estimate the exposure to vectors in the household. In addition, we will measure prenatal outcomes among infected and uninfected infants with seropositive mothers, and the birth weight of their siblings. The specific aims of this study are: 1) To determine the rate of congenital transmission of TcI compared to TcII (non-TcI); 2) To compare the T. cruzi infected mothers' characteristics and exposure to vectors in regions where TcI is predominant and regions where TcII (non-TcI) is predominant; and 3) To describe the birth outcomes of infected and uninfected infants born to TcI and TcII seropositive women.
