Filter by:This research trial studies molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor (ct) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in blood and plasma samples from patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body and/or has not responded to previous treatment with hormones. Studying samples of blood and plasma collected from patients with prostate cancer before, during, and/or after treatment in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify the development of drug resistance.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a rapidly progressing lung disease caused by a number of factors including pneumonia, sepsis and acute trauma that leads to reduced lung function and breathlessness. There are no pharmacological treatments approved for the treatment of ARDS. This pilot trial will study the safety and efficacy of Treprostinil sodium by inhalation for preventing the progression of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure to positive pressure ventilation and/or ARDS in patients at high risk.
This is a randomized placebo/sham controlled, double-blind study investigating the efficacy of high- and low-frequency rTMS applied to the right DLPFC at either 1 Hz, 10 Hz, or sham rTMS as compared to an OASIS treatment as usual group for the treatment of PTSD symptoms.
This randomized phase III trial studies 90-yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan and combination chemotherapy compared with combination chemotherapy alone before stem cell transplant in treating patients with diffuse large b-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned after a period of improvement. Radioactive substances linked to monoclonal antibodies, such as 90-yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan, can bind to cancer cells and give off radiation which may help kill cancer cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carmustine, etoposide phosphate, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM), work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether 90-yttrium ibritumomab tiuxetan and BEAM before a stem cell transplant are more effective than BEAM alone in treating patients with diffuse large b-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This study proposes to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PF-03715455 in subjects with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder.
This is an open-label, Phase I, dose escalation study to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose, maximum tolerated dose, and evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetic profile of ABBV-221 in participants with advanced solid tumors likely to exhibit elevated levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR).
The aim of this clinical trial is to determine whether a novel combination antibiotic treatment (vancomycin/daptomycin + beta-lactam) is superior to the standard antibiotic treatment (vancomycin/daptomycin) for hospitalised adults with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. The hypothesis is that the addition of beta-lactam antibiotics (these are antibiotics from the penicillin family) to the standard therapy will lead to more efficient bacterial killing and hence lead to faster clearance of bacteria from the blood stream and other areas of infection, thereby reducing the risk of the spread of infection and death. The study design is an investigator-initiated, multi-centre, open-label, randomised controlled trial. This will include 440 participants diagnosed with Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia recruited over a period of 4 years (July 2015 - June 2019) from within Infectious Diseases inpatient units across 21 hospital sites including 18 from within Australia and 3 located in Singapore. Participation will be voluntary and subject to informed consent. The participants will be randomised 1:1 to either the standard therapy group or combination therapy group. The combination therapy will include a treatment of intravenous beta-lactam for the first 7 days of treatment, in addition to the standard treatment (either vancomycin or daptomycin). The primary outcome measure will be complication-free survival 90 days post randomisation.
This is the 5th in a series of physiological studies to determine the amino acid requirements of infants. There have been 4 studies to determine tyrosine, methionine, threonine and lysine requirements in infants when they are fed by parenterally (intravenously). Due to the new requirements of Health Canada for preparation of parenteral solutions, the investigators are starting the phase of the study that determines the enteral (oral) intake of threonine in 1 - 6 mo infants in the interim.
The purpose of the Fibroid Registry is to provide a comprehensive database that captures patient characteristics, clinical outcomes and pot-treatment quality of life measures for patients treated for uterine fibroids. This database will serve as a platform for future comparative effectiveness and other health services research studies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of MT-3724 in subjects with relapsed or refractory B-Cell NHL or relapsed and refractory CLL (Part 1 only) and relapsed and refractory DLBCL (Part 2 and Part 3). Part 3 evaluates the efficacy of MT-3724.
