NCT00003811
RATIONALE: Chemotherapy drugs use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose cisplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin plus amifostine in treating children who have malignant germ cell tumors.
NCT00247637
This is a study of the genetic basis of brain dysfunction in people with schizophrenia.
NCT00767338
The primary research hypothesis is that microsurgical varicocelectomy will result in an increase in live birth in infertile couples where the male partner has a palpable varicocele and an abnormal semen analysis in comparison to male partners who do not have microsurgical varicocelectomy. The secondary hypotheses include: 1. To assess whether up to 4 cycles of intrauterine insemination confers any additional increase in live birth rates compared to timed intercourse; 2. To examine spousal pregnancy rate as the secondary outcome; and 3. To study the effect of varicocelectomy in men with infertility, an abnormal semen analysis, and a palpable varicocele on * Testicular semen analysis parameters; * Serological measures of FSH, LH, total and free testosterone and * Measures of quality of life and sexual function in both partners.
NCT00113399
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Cisplatin and paclitaxel may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving radiation therapy together with combination chemotherapy is more effective than giving combination chemotherapy alone in treating head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy and combination chemotherapy to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with recurrent head and neck cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
NCT00593307
The overall objective is to investigate the effects of low and high glycemic index (GI) meals varying in protein content on plasma glucose and insulin response, subjective ratings of hunger, and subsequent food intake in twenty healthy, sedentary, overweight and obese men and women between the ages of 21-65.
NCT00079547
This study will compare the safety and the effectiveness of a low carbohydrate diet (Atkins diet) with a high carbohydrate diet (conventional USDA diet).
NCT00009698
RATIONALE: Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of interleukin-2 in treating children who have undergone bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT00359944
The purpose of this study is to investigate efficacy and safety of different doses of AC-3933 in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's Disease.
NCT01448304
Primary Objective: Injection Site Tolerability Secondary Objective: * To assess the safety profile of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) * To assess the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727)
NCT01443650
Primary Objective: Injection Site Tolerability Secondary Objectives: * To assess the safety profile of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727) * To assess the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship of alirocumab SAR236553 (REGN727)
NCT01448239
NCT01097018
The trial will compare the overall survival of perifosine plus capecitabine to placebo plus capecitabine in patients with refractory advanced colorectal cancer.
NCT00007501
The incidence and severity of HZ (or shingles), as well as the frequency and severity of its complications, increases markedly with increasing age. More than half of all cases occur in persons over the age of 60. Even without complications, HZ can interfere with an elderly patient's ability to perform essential activities of daily living, resulting in a loss of independence that is emotionally devastating and frequently irreversible. The most common complication of HZ in elderly persons is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which frequently results in disordered sleep, chronic fatigue, anxiety and severe depression. Antiviral therapy has a modest impact on the acute phase of HZ. However, it does not appear to prevent the development of PHN. This study is a 5.5 year randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, efficacy trial to determine whether vaccination with live-attenuated Oka/Merck varicella-zoster decreases the incidence and/or severity of herpes zoster (HZ) and its complications in adults 60 years of age and older.
NCT00485303
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate in participants with advanced prostate cancer (a disease in which cells in the prostate gland become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors).
NCT01358695
The purpose of this study is to provide evidence of the safety, tolerance, and efficacy of ANT-1207 in the treatment of Crow's Feet.
NCT01282333
This phase I clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of veliparib and gemcitabine hydrochloride when given with cisplatin in treating patients with advanced biliary, pancreatic, urothelial, or non-small cell lung cancer. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Veliparib may help cisplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs.
NCT01337154
The goal of this study is to determine the progression-free survival and objective response rate in subjects with either stage IIIB with pleural effusion NSCLC or stage IV NSCLC who are treated with up to six cycles of paclitaxel plus carboplatin and either tamibarotene or placebo. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive tamibarotene, 6 mg/m2, divided as twice daily orally, or an equal number of matching placebo tablets, starting 1 week before chemotherapy and continuing through all 6 cycles and beyond. Subjects will be assessed for response on Day 50, Day 113, then every other month using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1).
NCT01337466
This protocol will evaluate the biodistribution and dosimetry of \[124I\]FIAU in both healthy volunteers and patients with prosthetic joint infections. This pilot study will also investigate the safety and tolerability of \[124I\]FIAU.
NCT00976521
This is a multicenter, open-label, controlled, single-blind, randomized study with up to 452 subjects enrolled in up to 50 US and European sites. Subjects who present with anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and an occluded proximal or mid left anterior descending (LAD) with TIMI 0/1/2 flow will be eligible for randomization to one of the following arms: 1. Local infusion of abciximab following thrombus aspiration 2. Local infusion of abciximab and no thrombus aspiration 3. No local infusion and thrombus aspiration 4. No local infusion and no thrombus aspiration In addition, a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sub-study evaluating microvascular obstruction (MVO) will be performed with up to 160 subjects at up to 20 sites.
