NCT00874861
This is a pilot vaccine study in adults with recurrent WHO Grade II gliomas. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of an experimental tumor vaccine made from peptides in combination with the study drug Poly-ICLC. Poly-ICLC, manufactured by Oncovir, Inc., has already been received and is generally well tolerated by subjects in earlier studies and has been shown to decrease the size of brain tumors in some cases. The immunological and safety data will be used to decide whether a larger study of clinical efficacy is warranted.
NCT00514371
This is a phase 2/3, open label trial for patients with relapsed-refractory multiple myeloma. Study agent is tanespimycin (KOS-953), at three different dose levels in combination with a fixed dose of bortezomib.
NCT01150747
The primary objective is to prospectively follow 200 women with or at risk of cervicitis to determine the chlamydia-specific cellular responses that correlate with protection against incident infection. The hypothesis is that a positive IFN-y response by peripheral CD4+ T cells responding to stimulation with HSP60 will be significantly associated with protection from incident C. trachomatis infection.
NCT00973349
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different combinations of A/H1N1 S-OIV (swine flu) vaccine in non-elderly and elderly adults.
NCT00389155
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational drug, vinflunine (BMS-710485), in combination with gemcitabine in patients with Transitional Cell Carcinoma who cannot be treated with cisplatin. This study will help to determine whether vinflunine in combination with gemcitabine will extend the time period until further growth of the tumor more than gemcitabine alone.
NCT01658501
Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to define the dose response of Glymera as measured as the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) following 20 weeks of once-weekly dosing. Secondary objectives: The secondary objectives are to: * Describe incidence, severity, and duration of reported gastrointestinal side effects of Glymera compared to active comparator; * Compare change from baseline in HbA1c following 20 weeks of dosing compared to placebo and active comparator; * Compare change from baseline in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) following 20 weeks of dosing compared to placebo and active comparator; * Describe the frequencies of adverse events in the treatment groups; and * Describe the above endpoints for the following subgroups of subjects according to baseline type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapy: diet and exercise only, metformin only, sulfonylurea only, or metformin and sulfonylurea combination therapy.
NCT02251678
Elorac, Inc. is evaluating the effect of Elimune™ capsules on biomarkers C-reactive protein (CRP), Tumor Necrosis Factor (αTNF), Interleuken-2 (IL-2), Interleuken-6 (IL-6), Interleuken-12 (IL-12) in subjects with plaque psoriasis with or without arthritis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with polygenic predisposition combined with triggering factors such as trauma, inflammation or medication. Elimune™ is a uniquely formulated prescription dietary supplement for oral administration. Each capsule contains a proprietary blend of natural ingredients, Vitamin D3, Folic Acid, Nicotinamide, Eicosapentaenoic Acid, Doscosahexaenoic Acid, Quercetin, Curcumin, Glycyrrhizin, and Hesperetin, which share anti-inflammatory activities including the ability to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).
NCT00109213
The purpose of the study is to determine the proper use of lower back screws and rods (instrumentation) and bony fusion in subjects with one level of degenerative spinal narrowing (stenosis) compressing nerves to the legs with one spinal bone slipping forward on another (spondylolisthesis). There are two types of operations that surgeons perform for this problem. Some spinal surgeons remove some bone in the back (laminectomy) to decompress the nerves. Other surgeons perform a laminectomy (decompression) as above, but feel that it is also important to strengthen the back by placing screws and rods into the spine and adding more bone to obtain a new bridge of bone away from the nerves (decompression with instrumented fusion). This study aims to test the hypothesis that adding instrumented fusion to a decompression for this spinal problem will improve long term patient outcomes.
NCT01396291
This study is being done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of asenapine as compared to placebo in preventing the recurrence of mood episodes after stabilization of an acute/manic mixed episode in participants with Bipolar 1 Disorder. After a Screening Period, each participant will receive open-label asenapine and matching placebo for 12 to 16 weeks. Participants who meet stabilization criteria may then be randomized into one of the two study arms (asenapine or matching placebo) to receive double-blind treatment for up to an additional 26-weeks.
NCT01397747
The primary objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test for colorectal cancer, using colonoscopy as the reference method. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant by histopathologic examination. The secondary objective is to compare the performance of the Exact CRC screening test to a commercially available FIT assay, both with respect to cancer and advanced adenoma. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant or precancerous by colonoscopy and histopathologic examination.
NCT01220921
The creation of a multi-center cooperative research group encompassing academic and community-based spinal practices . . .
NCT01252940
The purpose of this randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled Phase 3b study is to evaluate the noninferiority of the emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/RPV/TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR; also referred to as fixed-dose regimen or fixed-dose tablet) relative to regimens consisting of a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI+RTV) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 infected subjects. The FTC/RPV/TDF STR could offer an attractive treatment option to patients who wish to simplify dosing by reducing pill burden or to improve the tolerability of their treatment. Participants will be randomized into 2 groups, the FTC/RPV/TDF STR group, in which participants will switch treatment regimens at the start of the study, and the Stay on Baseline Regimen (SBR)/Delayed Switch group, in which participants will remain on their baseline regimen during the first 24 weeks of the study (designed to provide an initial active control), and may switch to the FTC/RPV/TDF STR at the Week 24 visit. After the 48-week study analysis period, participants may continue to receive the FTC/RPV/TDF STR per protocol before switching to a commercially available source.
NCT00390234
This phase II trial is studying how well ziv-aflibercept works in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic gynecologic soft tissue sarcoma. Ziv-aflibercept may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
NCT02272465
The Prehospital Resuscitation On Helicopter Study (PROHS) is a pragmatic, multicenter, prospective observational study of air ambulance-based prehospital resuscitation regimens currently utilized at the participating sites. Patients will be enrolled at participating sites that currently have blood products available on air ambulances and other sites that do not. This study will not change the current prehospital standard of care for resuscitation. The primary outcome will be in-hospital mortality and the primary unit of analysis will be the patient. Other outcomes of interest will include time to hemostasis, hospital length-of-stay, number of ventilator-free and ICU-free days, incidence of major surgical procedures, complications (transfusion-related acute lung injury \[TRALI\], acute kidney injury \[AKI\], multiple organ failure \[MOF\], acute respiratory distress syndrome \[ARDS\], sepsis, intra-abdominal complications, thromboembolic complications, compartment syndromes), lifesaving interventions, the amount and type of blood products and concentrates transfused (including prehospital), wastage of prehospital blood products and concentrates, use of external and internal hemostatic devices, and functional status at discharge/discharge destination.
NCT00399906
The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-582949 alone is an effective treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis. The safety of the drug and the effectiveness of each dose will also be studied.
