NCT00983606
The primary objective is to assess the burden of respiratory disease in outpatient settings among 32 to 35 weeks' gestational age (wGA) infants in the USA who did not receive RSV prophylaxis during the infants' first RSV season.
NCT00074607
Subject's are being asked to take part in this study because he or she has a type of cancer that has spread to the meninges (tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord). There is no known effective treatment for this specific disease or the subject has received all of the treatments that are known to work for his or her specific disease without success. Currently, there is no other effective treatment for this type of cancer. The purposes of this study are: * to determine the highest dose of gemcitabine, an anti-cancer drug, that can safely be given directly into the spinal fluid of children and adults whose cancer no longer responds to standard treatment; * to find out what effects (good and bad) gemcitabine has when given directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (called intrathecal administration) in children and adults with neoplastic meningitis (cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord); * to determine if gemcitabine is beneficial to the patient; * to understand how gemcitabine is handled by the body after intrathecal administration.
NCT00307047
The purpose of the SPIRIT IV Clinical Trial is to continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V®). The XIENCE V® arm will be compared to an active control, represented by the FDA-approved TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System (TAXUS®), commercially available from Boston Scientific. TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System is manufactured by Boston Scientific.
NCT00375401
The purpose of this study is to examine the long-term weight loss and safety of CP-945,598 in obese adults
NCT00391196
The purpose of this study is to determine if CP-945,598 is effective in the treatment of obesity in type 2 diabetic patients.
NCT00476931
The purpose of the study is to study the clinical effects of the investigational drug, SB-509 versus placebo in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
NCT00085501
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with a monoclonal antibody may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether cetuximab is more effective when given at the same time as chemotherapy or following chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab at the same time as combination chemotherapy works compared to giving cetuximab after combination chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00265785
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pemetrexed disodium may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00016601
The purpose of this study is to look at the level of depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA or Depo-Provera) in the blood to see if is affected by certain anti-HIV drugs (nelfinavir \[NFV\], efavirenz \[EFV\], indinavir \[IDV\] in combination with ritonavir \[RTV\], and nevirapine \[NVP\]). This study will also look at the levels of these anti-HIV drugs to see if they are affected by DMPA. DMPA is a hormonal birth control method that is given as an injection. It is not known if taking DMPA together with anti-HIV drugs changes the amount of DMPA and/or the amount of anti-HIV drugs in the blood. If higher levels of DMPA occur, side effects may increase. If lower levels of anti-HIV drugs occur, the drugs may become less effective against HIV. This study will look at the levels of anti-HIV drugs and DMPA in the blood when these medications are used together.
NCT00219583
Assessment of efficacy and safety UK-390,957.
NCT00709826
This study will compare the anti-tumor efficacy of apricoxib and gemcitabine/erlotinib with placebo and gemcitabine/erlotinib in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
NCT00586326
This study has been designed to compile information on the efficacy of the MammoSite RTS providing sole radiation therapy for patients with pure DCIS.
NCT00090961
RATIONALE: Pulmonary rehabilitation education and exercise training may improve physical function and quality of life in patients who are receiving treatment for lung cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying pulmonary rehabilitation education and exercise training to see how well they work compared to exercise training alone in improving physical function and quality of life in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for locally advanced lung cancer.
NCT00496470
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of combined treatment with Symbicort and Spiriva, in terms of improvement of lung function, symptoms and inflammatory markers, in patients with severe COPD.
NCT01720004
The investigators designed a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of repeated hands-and-knees positioning during labour. The objectives were 1) to provide an estimate of enrollment rates, 2) to assess compliance with the study protocol by participants and care providers, 3) to obtain women's views about their experiences using the hands-and-knees position, and 4) to provide estimates of treatment effects to inform the sample size calculation for a large trial.
NCT00193453
This purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of gemcitabine and docetaxel, a well tolerated chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in combination with a novel agent cetuximab.
NCT00483171
The purpose of this study is to determine if CP-945,598 is effective in the prevention of weight regain in obese subjects.
NCT00168064
This study will evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of the topical application of mechlorethamine (MCH) formulations in patients with stage I or IIA mycosis fungoides (MF).
NCT00901264
The purpose of this study is to correlate the results of the MICK assay with short- and long-term results of treatments in cancer patients and evaluate the role of the MiCK assay in guiding chemotherapy of cancer patients.
NCT00003853
RATIONALE: 4'-Iodo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin may improve organ dysfunction and ease symptoms caused by primary systemic amyloidosis. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of 4'-iodo-4'-deoxydoxorubicin in treating patients who have primary systemic amyloidosis.
