NCT01154816
This phase II trial is studying the side effects of and how well alisertib works in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors or leukemia. Alisertib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT02835339
The purpose of this study is to learn how medications participant will receive in the course of their delivery are metabolized (broken down by the body). The investigators hope to learn more about the way drugs are metabolized by pregnant women, and how those drugs are distributed in the blood and body compartments and cleared in the urine, and how maternal body weight affects the metabolism. With this information the investigators will be able to develop a treatment regimen considering factors in the body that affect magnesium levels so that the investigators can improve treatment of pregnant women. The goal of the study is to understand how different dosing of magnesium sulfate affects blood levels of the magnesium in larger women.
NCT01081015
The purpose of the Connect™ Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Disease Registry is to explore the history and real world management of patients diagnosed with CLL, provide insight into the management of CLL, and evaluate the effectiveness of first, second and subsequent therapeutic strategies employed in both the community and academic settings.
NCT03599726
Safe and independent mobility at home and in the community requires control of walking while accomplishing other functional tasks. A hallmark of healthy control of walking is automaticity, defined as the ability of the nervous system to successfully coordinate movement with minimal use of attention-demanding executive resources \[1\]. Recent evidence indicates that walking disorders are often characterized by a shift in the locomotor control strategy from healthy automaticity to compensatory executive control. This shift is potentially detrimental to walking performance as an executive control strategy is not optimized for locomotor control and it places excessive demands on a limited pool of cognitive reserve. Here, the investigators hypothesize that walking automaticity, as measured by the prefrontal cortex activity while walking, will be improved by donepezil (a cholinesterase inhibitor).
NCT04172493
This trial studies whether hyperspectral endoscopy improves visualization of abnormal tissue in average risk patients during standard-of-care colonoscopies. Hyperspectral endoscopy is an emerging technique that has the potential to enable the signals from blood to be resolved from tissue-specific signals. Image-enhanced endoscopy may improve visualization of abnormal colonic tissue when compared to the standard-of-care high-definition white light endoscopy.
NCT00052910
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery. It is not yet known which chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimen is more effective in treating stomach or esophageal cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare two different chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimens in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stomach or esophageal cancer.
NCT02210780
This was a 32-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study assessing immunization responses to vaccination in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who are treated with subcutaneous dupilumab.
NCT02666664
The purpose of this study is to see if ETC-1002 (bempedoic acid) is safe and well-tolerated versus placebo in patients with high cardiovascular risk and elevated LDL cholesterol that is not adequately controlled by their current therapy.
NCT00462488
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Vicinium when administered as a monotherapy intravesical instillation in patients with non-invasive urothelial carcinoma in situ (CIS) who failed previous treatment with Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG).
NCT02289417
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of apremilast (30 mg twice daily \[BID\] and 40 mg BID), compared with placebo, in participants with active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
NCT00419562
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system (the part of the body which helps fight infections) mistakenly attacks and destroys the cells that produce insulin (islet cells found in the pancreas). As these cells are destroyed, the body's ability to produce insulin decreases. There is evidence suggesting that repeated oral administration of an autoantigen (the same protein that the immune system is reacting to) may introduce a protective immunity and cause the immune system to stop its attack. An earlier, large scale study was done to see if oral insulin could delay or prevent the development of Type 1 diabetes in relatives at risk for developing Type 1 diabetes. The overall results showed that for the entire study population, oral insulin did not delay or prevent Type 1 diabetes. However, an analysis that was done after the conclusion of the trial suggested a potential beneficial effect in a subgroup of participants. The participants who seemed to benefit from oral insulin had higher levels of insulin autoantibodies which are directed against insulin itself ( called mIAA). The Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet study group will further explore the potential role of oral insulin to delay or prevent Type 1 diabetes in a similar group of people. The study will also include a secondary group of individuals at different levels of risk than those in the primary cohort to gather information for future studies.
NCT00279305
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Without these beta cells, the body cannot maintain proper blood glucose levels in response to daily activities such as eating or exercise. With fewer insulin producing cells blood glucose increases, causing hunger, thirst, and unexplained weight loss. By the time these symptoms develop, 80-90% of a person's beta cells have already been destroyed. However, this also means that between 10-20% of these cells remain that continue to produce insulin. Scientists have learned that two types of immune cells, B cells and T cells, are involved in causing type 1 diabetes. T cells are responsible for attacking and destroying the beta cells that make insulin. Although they don't attack insulin producing cells, B cells may be what trigger the T cells to attack. This study will investigate the use of rituximab to see if it can help lower the number of immune B cells thereby preventing the destruction of any remaining insulin producing beta cells that remain at diagnosis. Rituximab is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of a condition called B-lymphocyte lymphoma. Its effects on the immune system are well understood through its use in organ transplantation. Research has shown that rituximab might be helpful in treating other conditions caused by T cells and B cells, including type 1 diabetes. The goal of this study is to find out if rituximab can preserve residual insulin secretion and prevent further beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes.
NCT02215616
