Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the etonogestrel (ENG) + 17β-estradiol (E2) vaginal ring's efficacy compared to a placebo vaginal ring in the treatment of dysmenorrhea at Treatment Cycle 2. In addition, this study will assess the safety and tolerability of the ENG-E2 vaginal rings. Primary hypothesis: Relative to the placebo ring, the ENG-E2 vaginal ring results in a greater proportion of participants with a ≥3 point reduction in peak pelvic pain score and no increase in the number of rescue pain relief (ibuprofen) tablets taken at Treatment Cycle 2 as compared to baseline.
The aim of the prospective randomized study is to investigate whether a intensified diabetic control program leads to better final visual acuity and less frequent diabetic ocular complications in patients with diabetic retinopathy when compared with a normal diabetic treatment.
The purpose of the study is to determine the overall response rate of single agent TRC105 and the combination of TRC105 and bevacizumab in patients with refractory GTN (including choriocarcinoma, placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT), and epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT)). Up to 30 patients will be treated.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, post-chemotherapy, adjuvant phase III clinical trial. The primary aim of this study is to determine the value of regorafenib in improving disease-free survival (DFS). Patients with Stage III (IIIB or IIIC) colon cancer as defined by the 7th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual are randomized 1:1 to placebo or the experimental agent regorafenib following completion of at least four months of standard adjuvant therapy (e.g., 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) , capecitabine, oxaliplatin (CapeOx), and other).
This phase II trial studies how well talimogene laherparepvec works in treating patients with breast cancer that has come back and cannot be removed by surgery. Biological therapies, such as talimogene laherparepvec, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing.
This study assesses the safety and efficacy of bardoxolone methyl relative to placebo in patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension to determine the recommended dose range and evaluate the change from baseline in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) following 24 weeks of study participation.
We will investigate whether measurement of the change in thickness of the diaphragm during the respiratory cycle by ultrasound can predict extubation success in a 48 hour window. We will also asses whether this is only possible on low levels of pressure support as has been shown previously, or if this technique retains its predictive power at higher levels of pressure support.
The null hypothesis is that patients screened by PET/CT will not have detection of disease recurrence any earlier than those screened by CT alone. The alternative hypothesis is that PET/CT surveillance will lead to detection of disease recurrence 3 months earlier than CT surveillance. Furthermore, to reject the null hypothesis, earlier detection must be associated with a cause-specific survival improvement of 10%. Primary endpoints will include time from the completion of definitive therapy to diagnosis of recurrent disease, and absolute survival within 3 years after completion of initial therapy. Duration of survival between diagnosis of recurrence and subsequent death will not be a primary endpoint because the investigators expect that PET/CT will offer an opportunity for earlier recognition of recurrence and be subject to lead-time bias. Duration of survival will be measured from completion of primary treatment until death. Note: the presence of residual disease at surgical consolidation does not constitute a recurrence event.
To follow longitudinally healthy and immune-compromised responses to pneumococcal vaccination, in 60+ individuals towards the development of personalized medicine implementation (minimum enrollments in 2 age categories: young adults[18-25], older adults [55+], within each category: 10+ healthy, 10+ asthma, 10+ immune-compromised [e.g. leukemia or autoimmune disorders]). The approach will profile thousands of molecular components utilizing high-throughput technologies and integrate these data to obtain personalized immune response to vaccination. The study will provide insights into immune response mechanisms specific to asthmatics, immune compromised and healthy individuals, as well as in response to vaccination. Additionally the differences in dynamic response across the two age groups will be investigated.
