Filter by:The study is proposed as a 48-patient randomized-controlled pilot study that will use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging to compare stent strut coverage and malapposition of three second-generation Drug Eluting Stents (DES) [Xience EES (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA), Resolute Integrity ZES (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) and Promus Element EES (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA)] at 6 weeks post implantation. Study Hypothesis is that the rates of stent strut coverage and malapposition of the Xience EES, Promus EES and will be similar to each other and improved (higher rates of stent strut coverage and lower rates of malapposition) compared to the Resolute ZES at 6 weeks post-implantation.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common causes of musculoskeletal disability in the adult population. Adhesive capsulitis is one of a multitude of reasons that can cause shoulder pain and dysfunction. It is a painful and disabling condition that can cause frustration for patients and caregivers due to slow recovery time. It is important to meticulously diagnose the source of the symptoms. Adhesive capsulitis is treatment by non-operative therapies such as physical therapy, exercise, steroids & pain medications. For some patients a quicker return to function is necessary; in th is situation an operative treatment is an option. This study will compare two surgical techniques for adhesive capsulitis. Purpose 1. To directly compare outcomes of patients with adhesive capsulitis who have failed pain management and failed improvement in range of motion after at least 3 months of supervised, regimented conservative treatment and have subsequently been randomized to either closed manipulation under anesthesia or arthroscopic capsular release. 2. To blind both patient and assessing physician/nurse study coordinator to the treatment that was received for the duration of the study. This will reduce the effect of any potential bias on the results as much as possible. 3. To collect outcome data, both subjectively from the patient using proven outcome measures, and objectively from regularly spaced follow up visits with blinded assessors. 4. To collect and comment on data from the two treatment groups regarding duration of post-operative narcotic use, duration of post-operative physical therapy required, post-operative pain levels, and elapsed time until back to work/activity post-operatively.
To investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of volasertib in combination with azacitidine in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and not candidates for hematopoietic stem cell transplant
This pilot research trial studies collecting, analyzing, and storing samples from patients with triple negative breast cancer (breast cancer cells that do not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein) that has spread to other places in the body receiving anti-cancer therapy. Studying samples of tissue, blood, buccal swab, saliva, and urine in the laboratory from patients receiving anti-cancer therapy may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tegaderm CHG clear dressing reduces the number of unscheduled central catheter dressing changes compared to standard clear Tegaderm IV dressing in pediatric patients between the ages of 2 months to 18 years with central venous access. Secondarily, we will monitor contact skin irritation and central line associated blood stream infections.
The purpose of this proposed DoD study is to determine if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) plus standard wound care is more effective than standard wound care alone in the rate of healing and prevention of major amputation (metatarsal and proximal) in Wagner grade 2 diabetic lower extremity ulcers.
This phase II trial studies how well modern, conformal radiation therapy after surgery works in treating patients with high-risk bladder cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.
The primary objectives of the study are to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Carboxyamidotriazole Orotate (CTO) when combined with standard dosing of bevacizumab among patients with recurrent malignant glioma (WHO grade III or IV) that have previously failed bevacizumab (Phase 1); to determine the activity of CTO alone in bevacizumab-failure WHO grade IV malignant glioma patients (Phase 2, Arm 1); to determine the activity of CTO plus bevacizumab in bevacizumab-failure WHO grade IV malignant glioma patients (Phase 2, Arm 2). This study was terminated early due to funding issues. At the time of termination, the study was still in Phase 1 and no MTD for the combination of CTO and bevacizumab had been determined for this population. Phase 2 will not proceed.
The purpose of this study to look at differences in the way the heart functions in people with pulmonary hypertension (PH) who have near normal right ventricle (RV) function and people with pulmonary hypertension who have impaired RV function. The right ventricle is a chamber of the heart that pumps blood into the pulmonary artery (the artery that carried blood from the heart to the lungs). Learning more about how the heart is working in people with pulmonary hypertension may help researchers to understand how to better treat pulmonary hypertension and prevent the disease from getting worse. To do this, we will use two imaging techniques, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography). MRI uses a strong magnet and radio waves to take pictures of your heart. A PET/CT scan combines a PET and CT scan into one machine. A CT scan uses x-0rays to take a 3-day picture of the inside of your body, while a PET scan measures small amounts of radiation from a dye called a "tracer" that we inject into your veins. You will be given two tracers as part of the PET/CT scan. A tracer is a special type of dye with a small amount of radioactivity in it. The tracers that are used in this study are called [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and [11C]-acetate. In order to take part in this study, you must also have agreed to take part in a companion study. In the companion study, we are trying to learn whether the drug ranolazine is safe and effective in people with PH.
This is an open-label, multicenter, multinational, Phase 2 basket study exploring the efficacy and safety of neratinib as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies in participants with HER (EGFR, HER2) mutation-positive solid tumors.
