Filter by:The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and reactogenicity of GSK Biologicals' Cervarix vaccine in healthy female Filipino subjects from the age of 10 years onwards, as per the Bureau of Food and Drugs Directive of Philippines.
The purpose of this study is to determine the commonness of the C677T mutation in the MTHFR gene in subjects with B12 deficiency. Also, we'd like to investigate the effect of B12 deficiency combined with the C677T mutation on endothelial function.
RATIONALE: Aerobic exercise may help prevent side effects caused by chemotherapy and help improve heart health. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the side effects of aerobic exercise and to see how well it works in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
RATIONALE: Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.
RATIONALE: Methadone, morphine, or oxycodone may help relieve pain caused by cancer. It is not yet known whether methadone is more effective than morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying methadone to see how well it works compared with morphine or oxycodone in treating pain in patients with cancer.
This study aims to assess possible alteration in coagulation (blood clotting) following treatment with sequential compression devices (SCD) plus low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) as opposed to LMWH alone. The investigators will examine coagulation in the early postoperative period of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery during their stay in our Intensive Care Unit. In addition to common laboratory tests, the investigators will examine coagulation using TEG®, a device which allows a semi-quantitative examination of all phases of coagulation.
The purpose of this ascending-dose research study is to determine whether the administration of ARC1779 Injection improves subject's health profile by protecting the brain, heart, and kidney from damage due to formation of small blood clots in blood vessels. It will also determine the safety of ARC1779 Injection, how ARC1779 Injection enters and leaves the blood and tissue over time, and its effect on laboratory tests related to blood clotting, heart and brain function, and other body systems.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy profile of different treatment regimens of Ruxolitinib (INCB018424) administered to two groups of patients; those with polycythemia vera (PV) and those with essential thrombocythemia (ET). Patients in each group were refractory to hydroxyurea or for whom hydroxyurea is contraindicated.
RATIONALE: A donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them. Giving an infusion of donor T cells may helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor T cells in treating patients with high-risk hematologic cancer who are undergoing donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Note: Only Phase I portion of study was performed. Due to slow accrual, study was closed before Phase II portion of study.
The main purpose of this research study is to try to improve the results of the standard treatment for heart attacks. Normally, heart attack patients get a fast dose and a slow dose of eptifibatide in the emergency room, shortly after arriving. This drug is usually given through a vein in the arm. However, eptifibatide can also be injected directly into the heart's blood supply just before angioplasty, a common procedure to unblock a blood vessel in the heart. This new way of giving the drug is being studying.
