NCT00024102
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways after surgery may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating older women with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying different combination chemotherapy regimens to see how well they work in treating older women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer.
NCT00962832
This is a Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rontalizumab compared with placebo in patients with moderately to severely active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
NCT01961453
The purpose of this research study is to test whether treatment with isosorbide mononitrate will improve left ventricular hypertrophy ("thickening") which puts people at risk for developing heart failure. Once it develops, heart failure is a very serious condition and thus it is important to find ways to prevent it from happening. The investigators have reasons to believe that dilating the blood vessels with this specific medication will improve the thickening of the heart, which increases the risk of heart failure.
NCT01374425
This will be a randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase II study with primary objectives to assess whether expression of select chemotherapy markers is associated with progression-free survival (PFS) in participants treated with bevacizumab plus leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) or bevacizumab plus leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI). The study population will consist of participants with first-line mCRC.
NCT02159885
Automatically titrating continuous positive airway pressure (APAP) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are considered first-line treatments for obstructive sleep apnea. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that early patient education and intervention may improve adherence with positive airway pressure. The investigators plan a prospective, randomized trial to see if telemonitoring in the first several weeks of PAP therapy improves adherence following 3 months of treatment.
NCT01858714
The major goal of this project is to evaluate an innovative approach to obesity involving modification of the home environment. The project also will evaluate if home environment modification is more effective when supplemented with distress tolerance and related skills training.
NCT01750957
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm study will evaluate the safety and exploratory efficacy and pharmacokinetics of RO4917523 in pediatric patients with fragile X syndrome. Patients will be randomized to receive one of 2 dose levels of RO4917523 or placebo orally daily for 12 weeks.
NCT00774839
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the social and financial impact of colon cancer for older patients. We want to know how cancer has affected the patient financially and socially, and to know if the patient has resource needs that have gone unmet. By doing this study, we hope to learn about resources that can reduce the financial burden from cancer.
NCT00736619
For patients with this type of cancer, one standard treatment option is cetuximab (Erbitux®) + radiation. We wish to study the addition of albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxane®) to this standard regimen of cetuximab + radiation. Albumin-bound paclitaxel and cetuximab both are chemotherapy drugs which are administered by vein. Previous studies have shown that albumin-bound paclitaxel can kill head and neck cancer cells when given alone or in combination with chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to establish a safe dose range of albumin-bound paclitaxel given in combination with cetuximab and radiation therapy. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the albumin-bound paclitaxel has on you and your head and neck cancer.

To estimate progression free survival in participants with recurrent or refractory HGG or DIPG. To estimate overall survival in participants with recurrent or refractory HGG or DIPG. To characterize the plasma PK profile of cabazitaxel in participants with recurrent or refractory HGG or DIPG.
NCT02864199
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (area under the curve \[AUC\], maximum concentration \[Cmax\], and other parameters) and tolerability of peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin combination therapy following single and multiple doses in participants with CHC infection and moderate to severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 48 weeks, and the target sample size is 48 individuals.
NCT02503696
The primary objective of this study is to gather stool samples from subjects with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to be added to a test set of stool samples that will be utilized to help select molecular markers and determine the optimal sensitivity and specificity values for the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test for colorectal cancer (CRC).
NCT02445118
This is a 16 week pilot study to assess short term outcomes of an injectable allograft adipose matrix (AAM) in the subcutaneous space in the dorsum of the wrist. A total of 30 patients will be enrolled at 2 sites and will be followed for sixteen weeks. Volume retention and local skin changes will be observed and documented prior to and following injection at week 0 and at follow up visits at 2, 10 and 16 weeks. Evaluations will be done via photographic analysis at week 0,2,10 and 16 weeks and half of the patients will undergo magnetic resonance imaging at week zero and at week 16. The dominant wrist will serve as a control and will receive no injection. Analysis includes volume retention, tissue analysis, local skin changes and adverse events, if any.
NCT01590719
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with mFOLFOX6 in patients with metastatic HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastroesophageal junction. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo in combination with mFOLFOX6. Patients may continue to receive onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue treatment.
NCT02211508
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of a noninvasive cortical electrostimulation therapy known as "Reduced Impedance Noninvasive Cortical Electrostimulation" (RINCE) in the treatment of pain associated with fibromyalgia. Patients who meet the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia will receive up to 24 RINCE treatments delivered by a medical device called "NeuroPoint". Approximately 200 fibromyalgia patients will be randomized into one of two study groups. One of these groups will receive sham treatment, meaning they will receive no treatment at all, while the other group will receive active RINCE treatment. The study's primary outcome measure will be the difference between active and sham treatment groups in the mean change from baseline in patients' weekly worst pain scores. The study's hypothesis is that there will be a difference between treatment groups in primary outcome measure.
