NCT01510392
The primary goal of the trial is to show that optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology can be used to effectively screen for diseases of the eye including glaucoma, macular diseases and keratoconus. Glaucoma is a disease that causes permanent vision loss and is usually accompanied by increased eye pressure. Macular diseases affect sharp, central vision. Keratoconus is a disease that affects the cornea (clear surface covering the colored part of the eye).
NCT01928550
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of investigational Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography in the management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR - a leading cause of blindness in diabetic patients) before and after treatment. Angiography is the mapping of the blood vessels, and Doppler detects blood flow. PDR is due to poor oxygen circulation in smaller blood vessels in the back of the eye (retina), and is observed in 80% of people who have had diabetes for more than 10 years. This study will look at how blood flow to the eye is affected before and after treatment.
NCT00789958
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving capecitabine together with gemcitabine followed by capecitabine and radiation therapy works in treating patients with cholangiocarcinoma of the gallbladder or bile duct.
