NCT00048308
During a heart bypass procedure, a substance called "complement" is released by the body. This complement causes inflammation, which can lead to side effects such as chest pain, heart attacks, heart failure, or impairment of memory, language and motor skills. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug (pexelizumab), which blocks complement release, can reduce such side effects and be taken safely.
NCT02144220
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and the value of providing care to individuals with Parkinson disease directly into their homes. The specific aims are: 1. To demonstrate the feasibility of conducting remote evaluations of patients with Parkinson disease nationally; 2. To measure the impact of remote care on each patient's ability to improve his or her quality of life (QoL) and better manage his or her Parkinson disease; and 3. To assess the long-term acceptability to patients in receiving ongoing care remotely via telemedicine.
NCT00057785
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may cause less damage to normal tissue, prevent or lessen mouth dryness, and may help patients live more comfortably. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of specialized radiation therapy techniques with or without chemotherapy in reducing mouth dryness in patients who have nasopharyngeal cancer.
NCT00003901
RATIONALE: Prognostic testing for early signs of metastases may help doctors detect metastases early and plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: Phase III trial to study the relationship between early signs of metastases and survival in patients who have stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery.
NCT01220271
The purpose of this trial is to show proof of concept that by blocking the Transforming Growth Factor-beta signaling pathway in patients with Glioblastoma, there will be clinical benefit. Phase 1b: To determine the safe and tolerable dose of LY2157299 in combination with radiochemotherapy with temozolomide for Phase 2 in patients with glioma eligible to receive radiochemotherapy with temozolomide (e.g. newly diagnosed malignant glioma World Health Organization Grade III and IV). Phase 2a: To confirm the tolerability and evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of LY2157299 in combination with standard radiochemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
NCT01044186
The purpose of this open-label, non-comparative, multi-center protocol was to further evaluate safety and to provide treatment with ICL670 to patients who had or were at risk of life threatening complications due to transfusional iron overload with a documented inability to tolerate any of the commercially available iron chelators due to severe toxicity rendering continued therapy either impossible or hazardous. Patients who were also ineligible for all on-going registration trials with ICL670 were included in the study. In exceptional cases, patients with a degree of iron overload which was not immediately life-threatening and who were ineligible for the registration trials were also enrolled provided they had a well-documented, sound justification for alternative chelation therapy.
NCT01081834
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 different doses of canagliflozin administered as monotherapy compared with placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with diet and exercise.
NCT01406795
To study the safety and efficacy of drug coated stents for the treatment of venous occlusions and stenoses in the lower extremity. The use of the device for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease is approved by the FDA, however, the use of the device in venous occlusions and stenoses, although performed by some practitioners, has not yet been studied in detail.
NCT01094574
Previous studies have shown that the beta-adrenergic system plays a role in processing pain and the expression of hyperalgesia. Recent studies have investigated the analgesic effects, and potential anti-hyperalgesic effects (using a model of opioid induced (OIH) hyperalgesia) of propranolol, a beta adrenergic antagonist. We plan to further investigate the analgesic effects, and the potential anti inflammatory effects, of propranolol and compare those effects to alfentanil, an opioid of known effect, and placebo
NCT02311907
This randomized phase III trial is studying glutathione to see how well it works in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprotective drugs, such as glutathione, may help prevent peripheral neuropathy caused by paclitaxel and carboplatin. It is not yet known whether glutathione is more effective than a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy.
NCT02638129
The purpose of this study is to evaluate cardiovascular (CV) safety of naltrexone hydrochloride (HCl) and bupropion HCl extended release combination (NB) compared with placebo and rule out excess risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) when given in combination with standard of care in overweight and obese participants with documented history of CV disease.
NCT01165684
This trial is conducted in Europe, and North and South America. The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate if the two treatments are equally effective.
NCT01731938
This study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of fibrin sealant (FS) Grifols in patients undergoing elective (non-emergency) soft tissue open surgery where bleeding may be present. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that FS Grifols is not inferior to commercially-available oxidized cellulose pads (Surgicel®) in providing benefit in the time to hemostasis (i.e, the stoppage of bleeding). This study has a Preliminary Part (I) for study teams to become familiar with the application of FS Grifols and a Primary Part (II) to assess the safety and efficacy of FS Grifols. In both parts of the study, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either FS Grifols or Surgicel.

The influence of Decipher test on urologist and patient treatment plan choices immediately post RP and at the time of PSA rise or BCR
NCT00713648
The trial is conducted in Europe, North America and Asia. The aim of this trial is to evaluate catridecacog (recombinant factor XIII (rFXIII)) treatment in patients with inherited FXIII deficiency. It is expected that recombinant FXIII can be used for the prevention of bleeding episodes.
NCT01859494
The purpose of this study was to determine if untrained subjects who have diabetes can operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) and obtain valid glucose results.
NCT00397930
RATIONALE: Yoga may help improve sleep, fatigue, and quality of life in cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well yoga works in treating sleep disturbance in cancer survivors.
NCT02370459
The University of North Carolina will test the effectiveness of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's AFIX model for increasing HPV vaccination coverage among adolescents. AFIX (Assessment, Feedback, Incentives and eXchange) consists of brief quality improvement consultations that immunization specialists from state health departments deliver to vaccine providers in primary care settings. Using immunization registry data, the specialist evaluates the clinic's vaccination coverage and delivers education on best practices to improve coverage. We will compare changes in HPV vaccination coverage before and after consultations for high-volume pediatric and family medicine clinics across three study conditions: traditional consultations (in-person group), virtual consultations (webinar group), or no consultations (control group). In each participating state, 30 clinics will be randomly assigned to each study arm, for a total of 90 clinics per state, or 270 clinics overall. The primary objective of this study is to compare the change in coverage for HPV vaccine initiation among 11-12 year old patients, from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Secondarily, we will compare the change in coverage for other vaccines and age groups.
