Filter by:The study is intended to investigate whether the improved initial detection and resection of bladder cancer lesions in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with Hexvix (Cysview) fluorescence cystoscopy/TURB will lead to a longer-term reduction in recurrences compared to standard white light cystoscopy/TURB.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects this new drug foretinib has on this type of breast cancer, called "triple negative" breast cancer because the cancer tissue is estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptor negative.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Lichtenstein's hernioplasty using Infinit® PTFE Mesh, and to compare it with the traditional Lichtenstein procedure performed with polypropylene mesh.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Niuliva (Hepatitis B virus immune globulin) in the prophylaxis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection in patients submitted to liver transplantation due to HBV-induced liver disease by reaching and maintaining certain hepatitis B antibody (HBsAg) levels considered as protective during the first six and twelve months post-transplantation.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of immediate postoperative adjuvant hormonal treatment according to 2 year PSA recurrence rate in high risk localised or locally advanced Chinese prostate cancer patients.The secondary objective is to assess the quality of life（QoL）of the high risk localised or locally advanced Chinese prostate cancer patients with immediate postoperative adjuvant hormonal treatment and get the information of immediate postoperative adjuvant hormonal treatment (including the regimen, dosage and duration).
Adults who have had a previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) remain at risk for having a second serious event, especially if they have uncontrolled blood pressure or cholesterol. However, many patients have difficulty following treatment recommendations for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. The purpose of this research project is to evaluate the effect of 2 booster sessions of an educational counseling intervention on how well adults who have already participated in a 6-month clinical trial had a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) are able to follow a treatment plan and control their blood pressure and cholesterol levels. We will also examine how effective this intervention is in improving adherence to diet, medication, and physical activity recommendations for adults who have had a prior stroke or TIA.
The broad, long-term objective of the current research is to improve treatment for stimulant use disorders by augmenting traditional relapse prevention therapy with innovative meditation-based strategies to promote affect regulation skills. Based on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for depression (Segal, Teasdale, & Williams, 2002), Marlatt and colleagues recently developed a manualized intervention for the treatment of substance using populations: Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP). The specific aims of this research are 1) To conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial to assess the feasibility of recruiting and retaining individuals for a large scale study and to determine the effect size of MBRP relative to a health education (ED) control group in stimulant users receiving contingency management (CM).
This is a pilot investigational study of the appropriate therapeutic regimens to treat subjects experiencing inflammatory recurrence (rebound) of psoriatic disease upon discontinuation of efalizumab therapy and of the biological mechanisms involved in inflammatory disease recurrence and control.
Recurrence of Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is universal after orthotopic liver transplantation (LTx) and is associated with allograft failure, death and need for re-transplantation. Currently, there are no effective therapies to prevent HCV recurrence. Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an oral thiazolide anti-infectious agent, was safe, well tolerated and effective in achieving sustained viral response in patients with chronic HCV genotype 4. Its role in the prevention of HCV recurrence after liver transplantation has not been studied. The investigators propose to conduct an open label pilot study examining the role of NTZ in the prevention of HCV re-infection in eight patients undergoing LTx. First time transplant recipients for chronic HCV without history of renal failure or HIV/HBV co-infection, will receive NTZ immediately prior to LTx and for 3 days thereafter. The primary endpoint is the number of patients who remain HCV-RNA-negative at day 7 after LTx. If at least one patient remains negative, the study will be determined to be positive. Additionally, the investigators will examine the viral kinetics of HCV, tolerability and safety of NTZ.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy with or without erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that has spread to other parts of the body or has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, cisplatin, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy with or without erlotinib hydrochloride may be an effective treatment for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
