NCT ID: NCT01548352 Active, not recruiting - Syncope Clinical Trials

BAsel Syncope EvaLuation (BASEL IX) Study

Start date: April 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Syncope is a major health problem. In the emergency department (ED), the management of patients with syncope still remains a clinical challenge because underlying diseases and prognosis can be extremely various. Structural heart disease and primary electrical disorders are major risk factors for sudden cardiac death and mortality in patients with syncope. In contrast, patients with reflex syncope and exclusion of structural heart disease have an excellent prognosis. Therefore The investigators test the hypothesis that the use of a meticulous patient history, clinical examination and novel biomarkers can improve the rapid and accurate diagnosis of cardiac syncope in patients presenting to the ED and is able to improve risk stratification regarding adverse outcomes. The prospective multicenter cohort study is designed to enroll 720 patients presenting with transient loss of consciousness within the last 12 hours to the ED. Blood samples for the measurement of novel biomarkers will be obtained at presentation. All patients will be contacted by phone at 6, 12 and 24 months to determine major adverse events (death, resuscitation, recurrence of syncope, hospitalization for syncope).

NCT ID: NCT01520922 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Leukaemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic

Ofatumumab Plus Bendamustine in Frontline and Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL)

Start date: March 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase II, open label, single arm, multi-centre study investigating the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab plus bendamustine in subjects with untreated or relapsed CLL. Each subject from the screening phase who is willing to participate in the study and is found eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria will enter the treatment phase and will receive a maximum of 6 Cycles of study treatment (ofatumumab plus bendamustine). All subjects will receive 3 Cycles of study treatment (Cycles 1, 2 and 3). Eligibility to receive study treatment for Cycles 4, 5 and 6 will be assessed following the 3rd Cycle. Subjects who have achieved at least stable disease with acceptable toxicity following 3 Cycles of treatment will be eligible to continue to receive study treatments for a maximum of 3 further Cycles. In case of progressive disease, at, or at any time after the start of Cycle 4, subjects must discontinue further study treatment and move into the study's follow-up period. During the treatment phase, all eligible subjects will be allocated to receive the following study treatments: 1. Subjects with Untreated CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (90 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days). 2. Subjects with Relapsed CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (70 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days). The studies primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR) as determined by Investigator evaluation. The ORR is the percentage of subjects achieving an objective response (i.e., partial response or better), using the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Response assessments are planned at the following time-points: After 3 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment, after 6 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment and after the last dose, if not after 6 cycles, of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment. Follow-up assessments will be performed every 3 months following the last study treatment. The follow-up period will last for a maximum of 3 years. Response evaluation assessments to determine subject response or progression will be performed during the follow-up period, according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Following progression, only survival status and details concerning the subject's next CLL therapy will be recorded.

NCT ID: NCT01516580 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for B-cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma

Intergroup Randomized Trial for Children or Adolescents With B-Cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma or B-Acute Leukemia: Rituximab Evaluation in High Risk Patients

Start date: December 2011

NCT ID: NCT01516567 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Primary Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma

Intergroup Trial for Children or Adolescents With Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma: DA-EPOCH-Rituximab Evaluation

Start date: April 1, 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Phase II trial to determine the efficacy of Dose Adjusted-EPOCH-Rituximab regimen in children and adolescent with primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma in terms of event free survival.

NCT ID: NCT01502696 Active, not recruiting - Ulcerated Melanomas Clinical Trials

Adjuvant PEG Intron in Ulcerated Melanoma

Start date: October 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Patients with an ulcerated melanoma with Breslow >1 mm, N0M0 have a significantly higher risk for relapse than patients with a non-ulcerated primary and about a 40-50% chance of developing stage IV disease to which they will almost invariably succumb. In stage I and II patients with an ulcerated primary who have been sentinel node (SN-staged) and found to be SN-negative there is still a 25-30% relapse risk. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety when treated with PEG IFN alfa-2b for 2 years as compared to observation (no treatment), administered after adequate surgery has been performed for ulcerated primary cutaneous melanomas.

The secondary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) of DAC HYP following single and multiple doses of DAC HYP administered by the PFS in a subset of participants with RRMS and to evaluate the effect of DAC HYP on the PK of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A).

NCT ID: NCT01456481 Active, not recruiting - Vasovagal Syncope Clinical Trials

Assessment of Midodrine in the Prevention of Vasovagal Syncope: The Prevention of Syncope Trial IV

POST 4
Start date: November 2011
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

About 20% of adults faint recurrently. These patients are often highly symptomatic, have problems with employment and driving and have reduced quality of life. There are no therapies that have withstood the test of adequately designed and conducted randomized clinical trials. Midodrine is a prodrug whose metabolite is an alpha-1 adrenergic agonist that increases venous return to the heart and raises blood pressure. There is considerable lower level evidence that it might prevent vasovagal syncope. The investigators will test the hypothesis that Midodrine prevents recurrences of syncope in patients with moderate to severe vasovagal syncope.
