No studies have tested the potential benefit of the Flexitouch® truncal/chest garments on reducing truncal lymphedema in breast cancer survivors (BCS) or the theoretical added benefit of applying truncal/chest pneumatic compression therapy to open lymph channels in individuals who have only limb lymphedema or its impact on the trunk/chest. The purpose of this two-part study is to fill gaps related to: 1) the impact of the Flexitouch® System on truncal lymphedema, and 2) the therapeutic benefit of truncal /chest pneumatic compression therapy for arm lymphedema. Hypotheses: Part One: BCS with arm and truncal lymphedema. H1: Arm swelling (as measured by bioelectrical impedance \& arm girth in cm) will be reduced after 10 sessions with the Flexitouch® System. H2: Truncal swelling (as measured circumferentially) will be reduced after 10 sessions with the Flexitouch® System. H3: The number, severity, and intensity, of physical and psychological symptoms (as measured by the Lymphedema Symptom Intensity and Distress Scale: Trunk and Arm) will be reduced after 10 sessions with the Flexitouch® System. H4: Functional assessment scores (as measured by the Functional Assessment Screening Questionnaire \[FASQ\] will improve after 10 sessions with the Flexitouch® System. Part Two: BCS with Arm Lymphedema H1: Arm volume (as measured by bioelectrical impedance \& arm girth in cm) will be significantly reduced after one month of home use in participants using the Flexitouch® System (truncal, chest, and arm compression) when compared to those using the Flexitouch® System (arm compression only). H2: Truncal measurements/volume (as measured circumferentially) will be less after one month of home use with the Flexitouch® System (truncal, chest, and arm compression) when compared to those using the Flexitouch® System (arm compression only). H3: The number, severity, and intensity, of physical and psychological symptoms (as measured by Lymphedema Symptom Intensity and Distress Scale - Arm ) will be significantly reduced after one month of home use with the Flexitouch® System (truncal, chest, and arm garments) when compared to individuals using the Flexitouch® System (arm compression only) . H4: Functional assessment scores (as measured by the FASQ) will be significantly higher after one month of home use with the Flexitouch® System (truncal, chest, and arm garments) when compared to individuals using the Flexitouch® System (arm compression only).
NCT00770328
PAI-1 is elevated in obese individuals. TNF-alpha, an inflammatory mediator is believed to play a role in obesity mediated elevations in PAI-1 levels. TNF-alpha blockade with antibodies and the drug pentoxifylline have been shown to lower PAI-1 levels in animal models. This study tests the hypothesis that pentoxifylline will lower PAI-1 levels in human subjects.

NCT01005173
This study is a non-intervention, multicenter study to address biomarkers of acetaminophen toxicity in children. Specifically, the study will examine acetaminophen (APAP) protein adducts and markers of liver injury in the blood samples of hospitalized children and adolescents who are receiving standard doses of acetaminophen, and children and adolescents who are status post acetaminophen overdose. Ultimately, the data generated from this study will be used to establish second generation biomarkers of acetaminophen toxicity, based on specific adduct proteins, which can be used in future risk assessment studies of children receiving acetaminophen.
NCT01448005
This is a multi-center prospective registry of patients with an ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 35% following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in order to test the hypothesis that wearable defibrillators (WD) will decrease overall mortality after discharge by decreasing arrhythmic death in this select population with high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). This is a pilot project to determine the feasibility of a larger-scale study.
NCT01687712

NCT00381797
This phase II trial is studying how well giving bevacizumab together with irinotecan works in treating young patients with recurrent, progressive, or refractory glioma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, or low grade glioma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of glioma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bevacizumab together with irinotecan may kill more tumor cells.
NCT01281254
To determine if AMG 386 plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is superior to placebo plus PLD as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) The hypothesis for this study is that AMG 386 plus PLD will prolong PFS compared to placebo plus PLD in women with recurrent partially platinum sensitive or resistant epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.
NCT00093756
This phase I/II trial (phase I closed to accrual as of 09/29/2009) is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib, paclitaxel, and carboplatin when given with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IIIA or stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. 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. Bortezomib may increase the effectiveness of paclitaxel and carboplatin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving bortezomib, paclitaxel, and carboplatin together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
NCT00500331

NCT01722461
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double-blinded study. Subjects enrolled will be randomly assigned to receive either active treatments for axillary hyperhidrosis with the Ulthera System in both axillas, or sham treatments, also with the Ulthera System but with the energy settings on the device set to deliver no ultrasound energy. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio, with 2 subjects randomized to active treatment for every one subject randomized to sham treatment. Subjects will receive 2 study treatments 30 days apart. Subjects and study personnel conducting efficacy measures will be blinded to the assigned treatment groups. The study hypothesis is that subjects in the active treatment group will have a greater reduction in underarm sweating compared to those in the sham group as measured by a quality of life questionnaire. All subjects will undergo follow-up assessments at 14 days and 30 days from the date of their first study treatment, and 14 days, 30 days, 3 months and 6 months from the date of their second study treatment. Subjects in the active treatment group will also undergo follow-up assessments at 9 months and 12 months from the date of their second study treatment.
NCT02577562

NCT02103335
This is a Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate a new combination of drugs for the treatment of relapsed or refractory (drug-resistant) multiple myeloma. The drugs being studied are: * Pomalidomide (POMALYST®) is a drug that affects the immune system (an immunomodulatory drug) that has been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma. * Marizomib is an investigational drug being developed by Triphase that is being studied for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Investigational drugs are drugs that have not yet been approved by health authorities, such as the FDA, for general use but have been approved for use in specific clinical studies. Marizomib inhibits a cellular machine called the proteasome, which destroys unnecessary or damaged proteins. Other proteasome inhibitors have been shown to be effective in the treatment of multiple myeloma. * Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid drug that affects the immune system (an immunomodulatory drug) that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma. This is the first study to evaluate the three-drug combination of pomalidomide (POM), marizomib (MRZ), and dexamethasone (LD-DEX) in humans. Pomalidomide, alone or in combination with dexamethasone, is approved by the FDA for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The primary objective of this study is to determine the best drug dosing levels for this three-drug combination, including the highest safe doses and/or the recommended doses for future clinical studies of this drug combination. The secondary purposes of this study are to determine the safety of this drug combination and its effectiveness in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The study will include examination of levels of all three drugs in the blood during various time points during treatment.
