NCT00031824
RATIONALE: Hydroxychloroquine may decrease the immune response and be effective in treating chronic graft-versus-host disease. It is not yet known if standard therapy for graft-versus-host disease is more effective with or without hydroxychloroquine. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of standard therapy alone with that of standard therapy plus hydroxychloroquine in treating patients who have newly diagnosed chronic graft-versus-host disease.
NCT01021644
The primary purpose of this pilot study is to determine whether African Americans with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be enrolled and retained in a 6-month aerobic exercise-training study.
NCT00017368
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 may kill more tumor cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating children who have newly diagnosed neuroblastoma.
NCT02060591
The Investigators aim to study the efficacy of Exparel as compared to Marcaine, taking into account pain control, narcotic consumption, narcotic-related side effects, outcomes measures, and patient satisfaction. Moreover, the Investigators plan to perform cost-benefit analysis to evaluate whether use of Exparel decreases analgesic consumption, duration of hospital stay and the need for physical therapy postoperatively, therefore, offsetting its higher price in comparison with Marcaine.
NCT01566916
This prospective, randomized study will study the 2 year survivorship and short term outcomes of a currently-used femoral stem: the Bone Preservation Tri-Lock femoral stem using two surgical approaches. The surgical approaches being studied are direct anterior and anterolateral. Implant survivorship, radiographic positioning, and functional outcomes will be compared. Subjects will be randomized to surgical approach and followed for a period of two years.
NCT01283971
This randomized, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) versus adalimumab, both in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients, already treated with MTX at stable doses, will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks or adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneous (SC) every 2 weeks. All patients will receive methotrexate (10-25 mg weekly) and folate (at least 5 mg weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.
NCT01643590
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase II study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of using JVS-100 to treat heart failure.
NCT00780325
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors have become a common analgesic treatment option for patients with arthritis. However, long-term treatment has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. With the past withdrawals and rejections of approval for COX-2 inhibitors the treatment options are now very limited. This translates for example to about 10 million osteoarthritis patients in the US who cannot receive COX-2 inhibitors because of concomitant hypertension. And this exemplifies the unmet medical need to develop and offer safe treatment options for this particular patient population. This trial investigates pharmacodynamic aspects of CG100649 which is being developed as a novel COX-2 inhibitor. Preclinical data show a dual mechanism of action, which consists of the inhibition of the two enzymes COX-2 and carbonic anhydrase-I/-II (CA-I/II) and through which the cardiovascular risk of COX-2 inhibition might be attenuated.
NCT01365273
This investigation is an open, randomised investigation. Approximately 40 subjects in 4-5 centres in the US with deep-partial of full thickness burns in need of skin grafts will be enrolled.The subjects will be equally randomised to either treatment with Mepitel One or bridal veil together with staples. The primary objective is to compare pain at the time of dressing change for the use of Mepitel One versus bridal veil together with staples on deep partial or full thickness burns requiring skin grafts.
NCT01181960
The purpose of this study is to build a data repository that can be used to understand pharmaceutical utilization patterns among patients being treated in community behavioral health organizations (CBHOs) for schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder.
NCT00004227
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cetuximab for cancer of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without cetuximab in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV cancer of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx.
NCT01602393
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending oral doses of CHF 5074 after prolonged administration to patients with mild cognitive impairment.
NCT00637923
The purpose of this study is to determine if nitazoxanide in combination with peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin is safe and effective in treating chronic hepatitis C in treatment-naive patients.
NCT01305746
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of A-623 in subjects with SLE.
NCT01476696
The purpose of this study is to determine the correct prasugrel dosage to be given to children with sickle cell disease (SCD).
NCT00999661
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results patients are obtaining with the Realize™ Adjustable Gastric Band-C during the first 24 months after surgery.
NCT00761150
The primary purpose of the study was to test the efficacy of 2 tablets (twice daily) of ABT-712, compared to placebo, administered over a 4-week period in participants with moderate to severe mechanical chronic low back pain (CLBP).
NCT01077193
Up to 45 men and women who meet the entry criteria will undergo the gastric plication procedure. The study will assess subject excess weight loss (%EWL) following the study procedure at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months.
NCT00070200
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan and cyclophosphamide, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of induction chemotherapy using cyclophosphamide and topotecan in treating patients who are undergoing surgery and autologous stem cell transplantation followed by radiation therapy for newly diagnosed or progressive neuroblastoma.
NCT00361101
