This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the medications, lithium (Eskalith®), valproate (Depakote®), and risperidone (Risperdal®) in treating children and adolescents with bipolar disorder or symptoms of mania.
NCT00064974
This study is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label study of oral CC-5013 monotherapy administered at a dose of 10 mg daily on Days 1-21 every 28 days (28-day cycles) to red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent subjects with low- or intermediate-1-risk MDS who do not have a del (5q31-33) cytogenetic abnormality. Screening procedures will take place within 28 days of first day of study drug treatment. Subjects will receive study drug (CC-5013) in 28-day cycles for up to 6 cycles, or until bone marrow disease progression or progression/relapse following erythroid hematologic improvement (Appendix I) is documented. Study visits will occur every cycle (every 28 days) and laboratory monitoring to assess hematological parameters will occur every 14 days. Safety and efficacy assessments to be performed during the study are outlined in the Schedule of Study Assessments.
NCT00467896
A Comparison of Safety and Inhalation Times of Ventavis (iloprost) Inhalation Solution delivered by I-Neb Utilizing Power Disc-6 and Power Disc-15 "Power 15 Study"
NCT00002742
RATIONALE: Antifungal therapy with liposomal nystatin may reduce fever and neutropenia in patients undergoing treatment for hematologic cancer. It is not yet known whether liposomal nystatin is more effective than standard amphotericin B in treating patients with fever and neutropenia who are receiving chemotherapy for hematologic cancer or bone marrow transplantation for leukemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal nystatin compared with standard amphotericin B to treat fever and neutropenia in patients receiving chemotherapy for hematologic cancer or bone marrow transplantation for leukemia.
NCT00736398
This is an observational study to assess clinical outcomes in patients who undergo spinal fusion. Patients who are already scheduled for spinal fusion will enroll in the study. Information about prior therapies will be collected, and then patients will be followed to see how they do after spinal fusion. This study will help researchers better understand the natural course of patients who patients who undergo spinal fusion surgery.
NCT01044498
This open-label, randomized, cross-over study evaluated the effect of tocilizumab (TCZ) on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a common oral contraceptive (OC) in female patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in healthy female volunteers of child bearing age. The RA patients received OC in combination with TCZ, whereas the healthy volunteers received OC only. The RA patients received OC in 3 cycles of 21 days each; TCZ 8 mg/kg was administered once as an intravenous infusion on the first day of Cycle 2. The healthy volunteers received OC for only one 21-day cycle.
NCT01257477
An observational study to evaluate LOTRONEX® in women with severe IBS-D in the current clinical practice setting.
NCT00059306
The goal of this study is to learn if combination antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) is more effective than aspirin alone for the prevention of recurrent stroke and cognitive decline, and if intensive blood pressure control is associated with fewer recurrent strokes and cognitive decline. On July 21, 2011 the DSMB recommended terminating the anti platelet arm of the study due to an imbalance of overall and major non-CNS hemorrhagic SAE's and total deaths in the investigational anti platelet combination of aspirin + clopidogrel and an interim statistical analysis that demonstrated futility in the investigational anti platelet arm. It was recommended that patients be continued on standard care of aspirin mono therapy until their study close-out visit. Also, recommended the continuation and completion of the plood pressure arm following the protocol.
NCT01082159
This is a multi-center, prospective, patient outcomes assessment of Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression with the Mild® devices in patients with symptomatic central canal spinal stenosis.
NCT00771667
A medical research study in adult patients who have moderate to severe Crohn's disease designed to determine whether or not treatment with an experimental drug called ustekinumab (or CNTO1275) is safe or not and to determine if the treatment will reduce the symptoms of Crohn's disease.
NCT00627640
Parkinson's Disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder in which there is a progressive loss of dopamine-containing neurons. The understanding that PD is a syndrome of dopamine (DA) deficiency led to the introduction in the clinical practice of L-dopa, a precursor of DA that crosses the blood brain barrier, and also to the use of selective inhibitors of MAO-B, the major DA metabolising enzyme in man. Safinamide is an inhibitor of MAO-B. This is a phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of safinamide (50 and 100 mg p.o. q.a.m.) compared to placebo as add-on therapy to a stable dose to levodopa in subjects with advance idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. The principal efficacy measure is the increase in mean daily "on" time during the 18-hr diary recording period.
NCT00816907
This study will test the usefulness of the medication metformin in treating people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are overweight and also taking antipsychotic medications.
NCT01430195
The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy of afamelanotide, when combined with narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) light, in patients with nonsegmental vitiligo. Afamelanotide is expected to speed up the repigmentation induced by NB-UVB light, leading to reducing frequency and doses of NB-UVB.
NCT00016029
RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors detect cancer cells early and plan more effective treatment for cancer. New diagnostic procedures such as computed tomographic colonography may provide a less invasive method of identifying patients who have colon cancer. PURPOSE: Diagnostic and screening trial to compare the effectiveness of barium enema, computed tomographic colonography, and colonoscopy in detecting of colon cancer.
NCT01400425
The study is designed to evaluate whether a florbetapir F 18 PET scan can impact clinical thinking when physicians are determining the likely cause of a subject's cognitive impairment.
NCT00416650
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may 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 erlotinib works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00060372
This phase I trial is studying how well ipilimumab works after allogeneic stem cell transplant in treating patients with persistent or progressive cancer. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
NCT00253617
RATIONALE: Stent placement may help reduce symptoms caused by the tumor. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as porfimer sodium, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, tumor cells are killed. This may be an effective treatment for cholangiocarcinoma. It is not yet known whether stent placement and photodynamic therapy using porfimer sodium are more effective than stent placement alone in treating cholangiocarcinoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying stent placement and photodynamic therapy using porfimer sodium to see how well they work compared to stent placement alone as palliative treatment in treating patients with stage III or stage IV cholangiocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
