NCT01479101
The scope of this registry study is to measure chemosensitivity as defined by pCR (primary endpoint), or endocrine sensitivity as defined by partial response (decrease in longest tumor diameter or residual cancer burden category 1 (RCB1), a primary endpoint for neo-adjuvant endocrine therapy and a secondary endpoint for neoadjuvant chemotherapy), metastasis-free survival and relapse-free survival(secondary endpoints) in molecular subgroups, determined by the established MammaPrint, BluePrint, Targetprint and Theraprint profiles in addition to possible novel expression profiles.
NCT04402021
It has been hypothesized that exercise may have a beneficial effect on sleep quality and insomnia severity in those who have insomnia symptoms as well as those who meet diagnostic criteria for insomnia disorder (e.g., Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5th edition (DSM-5)). Yet, the studies that have tested this are extremely limited in number and even fewer explore any acute effects of exercise training on subjects who meet diagnostic criteria. Thus, the investigators propose to conduct a randomized parallel design to compare the effects of short-term moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on insomnia severity and measures of sleep in a sample of adults who meet diagnostic criteria for insomnia.
NCT02519543
In a previous study by Dr. Calkin, the principal investigator of this study, persons with bipolar disorder and either type II diabetes or insulin resistance were found to experience more severe symptoms of bipolar illness and a lower response to treatment, compared to persons with bipolar disorder who did not have type II diabetes or insulin resistance. To further explore these findings, the investigators have developed this study to see if treating insulin resistance (using metformin, a drug used to improve the body's use of insulin) may also help improve the symptoms of bipolar illness.
NCT03299101
Frail Veterans are at increased risk for poor surgical outcomes, and as the Veteran population grows older and more frail, there is a critical need to identify effective strategies for reducing surgical risks for these patients. Prior research shows that inter-disciplinary rehabilitation strategies deployed after surgery enhance recovery and improve outcomes by building strength and improving nutrition. The investigators believe that similar improvements may be obtained by using similar interventions before surgery to "prehabilitate" patients' capacity to tolerate the stress of surgery. The proposed research will examine the feasibility of a new, home-based prehabilitation intervention aimed at improving surgical outcomes after cardiothoracic surgery through preoperative exercise training and nutritional supplementation. Findings from the study will inform the design of a larger randomized controlled trial of the prehabilitation intervention. If proven effective, prehabilitation could benefit as many as 42,000 frail Veterans who are scheduled for major elective surgery each year.
NCT00524030
This study will determine the safety and efficacy of pregabalin (Lyrica) when administered by itself (without any other anti-epileptic medication) to epilepsy subjects for the treatment of partial seizures. The duration of the trial is about 6 months.
NCT01271933
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a controlled release formulation of pregabalin administered once daily as compared to placebo in the treatment of fibromyalgia. All patients will receive pregabalin; half of the patients will receive placebo at some point in the study.
NCT03720470
B7451029 is a Phase 3 study to investigate PF-04965842 in adult patients who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and use background topical therapy. The efficacy of two dosage strengths of PF-04965842, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily will be evaluated relative to placebo over 12 weeks. The efficacy of the two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 will be compared with dupilumab in terms of pruritus relief at 2 weeks. The two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 and dupilumab 300 mg injected subcutaneously once every two weeks (with a loading dose of 600 mg injected on the first day) will also be evaluated relative to placebo over 16 weeks. The safety of the investigational products will be evaluated over the duration of the study. Subjects will use non-medicated emollient at least twice a day and medicated topical therapy such as corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors or PDE4 inhibitors, as per protocol guidance, to treat active lesions during the study. Subjects who are randomized to receive one of the two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 will also receive placebo injectable study drug every two weeks until Week 16 and then will continue on receiving only the oral study drug for 4 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to receive dupilumab injections every two weeks will also receive oral placebo to be taken once daily until Week 16 and will then continue to receive only the oral placebo for 4 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to the placebo arms, will receive both daily oral placebo and injectable placebo every two weeks until Week 16, after which they will receive either 100 mg or 200 mg of PF-04965842 taken orally once daily for 4 weeks, dependent upon which arm they have been allocated to. Eligible subjects will have an option to enter a long-term extension study after completing 20 weeks of treatment.
NCT01502631
The purpose of this research study is to gather scientific information about the effectiveness of the study drug, SUN13837 Injection, when compared with the placebo (inactive substance) in participants with acute spinal cord injury.
NCT03345082
A multicentre, randomised, parallel group, sham-controlled, double-masked, dose-ranging study, investigating two doses of OPT-302 in combination with ranibizumab compared with ranibizumab with sham, over six consecutive monthly dosing cycles in participants with neovascular (wet) AMD.
NCT03593681
Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study to assess the ability of the Cytuity device to collect cell samples from the fallopian tube that can be evaluated for the presence or absence of malignancy.
NCT01992549
The purpose of the study is to collect long-term data on the inhibitor development rate of Human-cl rhFVIII in previously untreated patients with severe Hemophilia A.
NCT00264875
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of pregabalin in reducing neuropathic pain associated with HIV neuropathy
NCT02587962
An ascending dose study in patients with solid tumors to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of birinapant when given in combination with pembrolizumab. A dose expansion phase of 4 cohorts will also be included.
NCT01324908
This clinical trial studies biomarkers in predicting response in patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) undergoing extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP). ECP treats the patient's blood with ultraviolet light outside the body and kills the white blood cells before returning blood back into the patient's body. Studying samples of blood from patients with GVHD may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to GVHD.
NCT01253473
The main objective of the study is to see if using anti-inflammatory to patients with airway disease chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) phenotype will be more effective than using these treatments in patients with loss of lung tissue. Symbicort plus ipratropium/albuterol will be used for 12 weeks in an open-label study in subjects with airway predominant COPD.
NCT02748135
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability profile of TB-403 (humanized monoclonal antibody against placental growth factor (PlGF)) in pediatric subjects with relapsed or refractory Medulloblastoma.
NCT02072824
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 doses of pregabalin to reduce seizure frequency as an add on therapy in pediatric subjects 1 month to \<4 years of age with refractory partial onset seizures. It is hypothesized that both doses of pregabalin will demonstrate superior efficacy when compared to placebo by reducing the partial onset seizure frequency and that pregabalin will be safe and well tolerated.

NCT02178592
HIV/Tuberculosis (TB) co-infection have profound effects on the host's immune system. TB is the most common cause of death in patients with HIV worldwide. Rifamycins (such as rifampicin \[RIF\]) are an important component of TB therapy because of their unique activity. The problem is that most protease inhibitors (PI) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) used to treat HIV have significant drug-drug interactions with RIF that can lead to reduced concentrations of these agents with risk of treatment failure or resistance. The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) efavirenz (EFV) does not present the same significant drug interactions with RIF. EFV-based HIV treatment was tested in patients concomitantly treated with RIF-containing TB therapy, demonstrating that their co-administration can be used safely and effectively. However, the side effect profile of EFV overlaps with the RIF-containing TB regimens and makes the management of treatment toxicities very complex. Integrase inhibitors (INI), such as dolutegravir (DTG), may offer an important alternative to EFV-based therapy in TB coinfected patients. A Phase I drug-drug interaction study was conducted in healthy, HIV-seronegative subjects, and showed that DTG at 50 mg twice daily given together with RIF was well-tolerated and resulted in DTG concentrations similar to those of DTG 50 mg given once daily alone, which is the recommended dose for INI-naive patients. Therefore, ART regimens using DTG 50 mg twice daily may represent a new treatment option for TB-infected patients who require concurrent treatment for HIV infection. This is a Phase III b, randomized, open-label study describing the efficacy and safety of DTG and EFV-containing ART regimens in HIV/TB co-infected patients. This study is designed to assess the antiviral activity of DTG or efavirenz (EFV) ART-containing regimens through 48 weeks. A total of approximately 115 +/-5% subjects will be randomly assigned in a 3:2 ratio to DTG (approximately 69 subjects) and EFV (approximately 46 subjects), respectively. This study will include a Screening Period, a Randomized Phase (Day 1 to 48 weeks plus a 4-week extension), and a DTG Open-label extension (OLE). During the DTG OLE, subjects will be supplied with DTG until it is locally approved and commercially available, the subject no longer derives clinical benefit, or the subject meets a protocol-defined reason for discontinuation, which ever comes first.
