There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and pharmacodynamic effect of LJP 394 at doses of 100 mg, 300 mg and 900 mg on anti-dsDNA antibody levels in patients with SLE.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. LMB-2 immunotoxin can find cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide followed by LMB-2 immunotoxin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide followed by LMB-2 immunotoxin works in treating patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of two MVA smallpox vaccine injections in healthy adults that are 18-35 years of age with a history of mild to moderate Atopic Dermatitis.
The purpose of the study is to determine if short term (6 months) treatment with statins to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in vascular disease patients with carotid plaque will be associated with a measurable reduction in carotid plaque volume using 3 Tesla MRI. The researchers will correlate the change in plaque volume to degree of LDL lowering. The researchers will also study if brief treatment will lead to change in plaque composition. The researchers will compare the change in plaque volume measured by 3T MRI with plaque burden measured by ultrasound.
Hypothesis: Initiating chronic management treatment plans in conjunction with an asthma educational intervention in the pediatric Emergency Department (ED) with anti-inflammatory medication will result in an improvement of ED revisits (and unscheduled return visits). Chronic management intitiation in conjunction with an asthma educational intervention in the pediatric ED with anti-inflammatory medication will also result in improved Quality of Life measure. Specific aims: 1. To demonstrate that the initiation controller medication therapy in conjunction with asthma education will result in: 1. Decreased return ED visits (or unscheduled primary care physician visits) as compared to a control group over a 12 month period 2. Improved Quality of Life as measured by Bukstein's ITG Quality of Life measure. 2. To describe the relationship of the initiation of controller medication therapy in conjunction with asthma education with well child visits, missed school/daycare days and behavioral capabilities. Objective: To determine the impact of beginning chronic asthma medication regimens after an educational intervention in the ED in pediatric patients 1-18 years of age with mild to moderate persistent asthma. Long-term goal/purpose: To demonstrate the success of a model of care that utilizes the emergency department physician to initiate National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guided chronic asthma therapy in children 1-18 years of age. This model will attempt to bridge the gap in initiation of chronic asthma therapy currently left by a failure of both emergency department and primary care physicians.
GW823093 is a selective DPP-IV Inhibitor and is being investigated as a once a day oral therapy. The purpose of the Study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of 2 doses of GW823093, compared to placebo, taken once daily in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
RATIONALE: The Epstein-Barr virus can cause cancer and lymphoproliferative disorders. Valganciclovir is an antiviral drug that acts against the Epstein-Barr virus. Phenylbutyrate may make cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus more sensitive to valganciclovir. Giving phenylbutyrate together with valganciclovir may block the growth of Epstein-Barr virus-infected cells and kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving phenylbutyrate together with valganciclovir works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Epstein-Barr virus-positive cancer.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of the established chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and the large carbohydrate molecule GM-CT-01 is beneficial in treating advanced gall bladder and bile duct cancer.
Patients will be tested for mutations in the BRCA2 gene. If they have a BRCA2 mutation, they will be treated with Mitomycin-C as described here. The patients with an identified gene mutation will also be provided with genetic counseling.
This study will test the safety, side effects, and acceptability of two strengths of UC-781 gel when used by women and men in Botswana for two weeks.
