NCT00522834
"Elesclomol (STA-4783), N-malonyl-bis (N'-methyl-N'-thiobenzoylhydrazide) is a new chemical entity with a novel structure. STA-4783 induces an oxidative stress response in cells. This response is characterized by increased production of gene families that protect against different cellular stresses, including excessive heat, the presence of reactive oxygen species such as oxygen radicals, or the presence of heavy metals. Subjects will participate in up to 2 weeks of screening during which time they will complete all screening procedures. Eligible subjects who have not received any prior cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent for melanoma will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either STA-4783 213 mg/m2 in combination with paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 or paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 alone. One treatment cycle will consist of weekly treatments for 3 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest period. Cycles will be repeated every 4 weeks until disease progression. Tumor assessments will be performed every 8 weeks from the date of randomization or sooner if the Investigator suspects progression has occurred based on clinical signs and symptoms. "
NCT00849472
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the treatment of a doxorubicin in combination with cyclophosphamide followed by a combination of pazopanib in combination with paclitaxel prior to surgery results in a pathological complete response in females with breast cancer.
NCT00440193
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, assessor-blind, event-driven, non-inferiority program for efficacy with a study treatment duration of 3, 6 or 12 months in patients with confirmed acute symptomatic DVT without symptomatic PE (Einstein-DVT).
NCT00004010
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Giving radiation therapy after chemotherapy may be an effective treatment for Hodgkin's disease. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy in treating children who have previously untreated stage II, stage III, or stage IV Hodgkin's disease.
NCT01683396
The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to determine whether gevokizumab is effective in the treatment of active inflammatory, erosive osteoarthritis of the hand.
NCT00244140
This is a research study involving the use of a contrast agent called Ultravist Injection. Ultravist, the study drug, is used to improve the pictures obtained using computed tomography (CT). Ultravist acts like a dye to make CT pictures brighter and easier to read. In the case of this study, it will be injected into a vein in the patient's arm; from there, it travels through the blood stream and to the areas to be examined. CT scans will then be taken of the patient's head and/or body as ordered by his/her physician. Phase IIIb Study to Document the Safety and Efficacy of Ultravist 370 mg I/ml, When Administered Intravenously, in Volumes up to 162.2 ml, for Clinically Indicated Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) of the Head and/or Body
NCT00615940
This randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled phase II trial is studying how well capecitabine works when given in combination with WX-671 or when given alone in treating patients receiving first-line therapy for her2negative metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00450866
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epothilone B, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well epothilone B works in treating patients with CNS metastases from breast cancer.
NCT01085201
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that causes the red blood cells to change their shape from a round shape to a half-moon/crescent or sickled shape. People who have SCD have a different type of protein that carries oxygen in their blood (hemoglobin) then people without SCD. This different type of hemoglobin makes the red blood cells change into a crescent shape under certain conditions. Sickle-shaped cells are a problem because they often get stuck in blood vessels blocking the flow of blood, and cause inflammation and injury to the important areas in the body. Lexiscan is drug that may prevent this inflammation and injury caused by the sickle shaped cells. This drug is approved by the FDA to be used as a fast infusion during a heart stress test in people who are unable to exercise enough to put stress on their heart by making it beat faster. Lexiscan has never been studied in patients with SCD and has never been given as a long infusion.
NCT00434473
The study will be conducted at 15-20 US centers in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind fashion. Enrollees will be hospitalized sickle cell disease (SCD) patients at-risk for acute chest syndrome (ACS) based on the presence of vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC), fever (T ≥38.0°C) and serum sPLA2 concentration ≥50 ng/mL.
NCT01824407
The Sponsor of this study, SANUWAVE, Inc., has developed an investigational device known as the dermaPACE® (Pulsed Acoustic Cellular Expression) device for the possible treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. This device generates acoustic (sound) pressure waves designed to act on the cells in your body to generate proteins that may lead to wound closure. The dermaPACE® device has not been approved for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers; therefore its use in this study is investigational. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of the dermaPACE® device to help diabetic foot ulcers heal more quickly. The active study device, the dermaPACE®, will be compared to an inactive look-alike device (called a "Sham") in this study. The sham device will not provide any treatment to your diabetic foot ulcer.
NCT01162681
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of three different doses of A-623 administered in addition to standard therapy in subjects with active SLE disease
NCT01364844
This will be a Phase 1, open-label study of DS-7423 to assess its safety and tolerability, identify a RP2D, (recommended Phase 2 Dose) and assess its Pharmacokinetics (PK) (what your body does to process the drugs and how your body gets them out of your system.) and pharmacodynamics (PDy) (Pharmacodynamics is a study of what a drug does to your body) properties in subjects with advanced solid malignant tumors. This study will include 2 parts: part 1-Dose Escalation and part 2-Dose Expansion. Study Hypothesis: DS-7423 will be safe and tolerable, and will exhibit acceptable PK and PDy properties in subjects with advanced solid malignant tumors for whom standard therapy has failed or for whom no standard therapy exists.
NCT00502788
Hepatitis C is one of the most common causes of long-term liver disease in the United States. Ribavirin and peginterferon alfa-2a are two medications that are used to treat hepatitis C infection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of these two medications in adults with hepatitis C and thalassemia, a type of blood disorder.
NCT00000623
The purpose of the TCRN is to accelerate research in the management of thalassemia, standardize existing treatments, and evaluate new ones in a network of clinical centers in North America. The emphasis will be on clinical trials that help identify optimal therapy. Therapeutic trials may involve investigational drugs, drugs already approved but not currently used, and drugs currently used.
NCT01015287
The purpose of this trial is to investigate the potential benefits/risks regarding pretreatment with prasugrel in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) participants with elevated troponin scheduled for coronary angiography/percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
NCT00084214
This study is designed to assess the efficacy of a weekly treatment regimen of STA-4783 and paclitaxel in comparison to paclitaxel alone on tumor response in metastatic melanoma patients.
