NCT00196326
This is an open-label, single treatment study. All subjects will receive one year of oral contraceptive therapy with DR-1011. Study participants will receive physical and gynecological exams, including Pap smear. During the study, all participants will be required to complete a diary.
NCT01738685
Hormone responsive breast cancer is common and costly. Long-term adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) improves breast cancer outcomes greatly, but, unfortunately, is commonly associated with physical and emotional concerns. I propose to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a behavioral intervention to facilitate problem identification, provide education, coaching for breast cancer survivors with symptoms while on AET. Therefore, the intervention intends to empower women to engage in better self-care and seek out resources they need, which, in turn, will lead to better symptom management.
NCT00336895
The objective of this study is to determine the tolerability and safety of Myfortic in liver transplant patients. Patients receiving CellCept who have GI side effects will have CellCept discontinued and changed to Myfortic (Myfortic is a new drug similar to CellCept, except it is enteric-coated). Our hypothesis is that Myfortic has less GI side effects and will, therefore, be tolerated better than CellCept and also that Myfortic will have a comparable effectiveness to CellCept.
NCT01810679
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Perceval S heart valve when used to replace a diseased or dysfunctional aortic valve or aortic valve prosthesis.
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.
NCT00619762
This prospective, multicenter, open-label study will assess the clinical outcomes of the LTM product in three planned analyses. The primary objective of this study is to prospectively assess the clinical outcomes associated with the use of LTM in two-stage (expander then permanent implant) immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
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.
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.
NCT01002573
The primary objective of the study is to determine the superiority of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen compared to acetaminophen for the treatment of fever during the first two hours of treatment.
NCT00000930
The purpose of this study is to see how HIV reacts in the immune systems of patients who have recently been infected with HIV. This study also examines HIV's resistance to anti-HIV drugs in newly infected patients. Certain populations are good candidates for participation in HIV vaccine trials. These groups include men who have sex with men, IV drug users, and women at risk of getting HIV through heterosexual contact. Learning how HIV behaves in these populations once they become infected can help with the planning of future HIV vaccine studies.
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.
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.
NCT01322230
The purpose of this study is to compare the educational efficacy of instructional design enhancements in on-line learning modules in the context of clinical medical education.
NCT00524303
This study will examine safety and efficacy of Lapatinib in combination with a standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy including 5FU, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel. Tumor tissue will be obtained at 3 timepoints (optional 4th) to evaluate tumor response to treatment.
NCT00088608
The study treatment period is 15 days in length and includes patients with pituitary Cushing's disease who are candidates for surgical intervention as well as and patients who have recurrent Cushing's post operatively.
NCT00774787
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of topical imiquimod cream after cryotherapy of actinic keratoses reduces the total number of lesions (those treated with cryotherapy and new ones) at follow-up.
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.
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.
