The main goal of this study is to estimate the tumor response rate of temozolomide administered in combination with peginterferon alfa-2b to pediatric patients with unresectable Stage III, metastatic, or recurrent cutaneous melanoma.

To determine whether a combination of corticosteroids and azathioprine can achieve a higher remission rate and a lower subsequent relapse rate in patients with newly-diagnosed microscopic polyangiitis, polyarteritis nodosa or eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg S…

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor …

The purpose of this study is to determine the performance and efficacy during 6 and 12 month post operation. 1. determine changes in patient pain level 2. determine changes in patient functionality 3. determine changes in patient life quality

This study is designed to learn about early brain development in children with Krabbe disease, and to use diffusion tensor imaging as an early diagnostic tool to identify newborns at risk for the disease.

The objective of the present study is to establish the safety and efficacy of multiple administrations of Prochymal™(ex-vivo cultured human adult mesenchymal stem cells) in participants with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

ETNA3 is a multicentric randomised clinical trial conducted in France to evaluate the impact of cognitive training, reminiscence therapy and a "made-to-measure" program on the progression rate of dementia.

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in women. After completion of successful therapy, may behavioral symptoms persist with over 20% of breast cancer survivors reporting chronic insomnia of greater than 6 months duration that fulfils clinical diagnostic criteria with associate…

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of RAD001 and erlotinib hydrochloride can slow the growth of advanced pancreatic cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Primary Objectives: -Determine the overall survival (OS) at…

This randomized phase III trial studies melphalan and prednisone with thalidomide to see how well it works compared to melphalan and prednisone together with lenalidomide in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as melphalan and…

The study consisted of a Phase 1 dose escalation/dose de-escalation portion to determine a safe and tolerable combination dose(s) of cabozantinib and erlotinib, and a Phase 2 Simon optimal 2-stage design portion with randomized assignment of subjects in an equal ratio to determin…

This controlled multi-center randomized clinical trial, with direct individual benefit, will compare efficacy and safety of two strategies in non-localized BP care: a combined regimen using initial superpotent topical steroids associated with methotrexate for 4 weeks followed by …

Lumbosciatica is a very prevalent pathology. When conservative treatments fail, surgery should be considered. The traditional surgical treatment is lumbar arthrodesis. The vast majority of patients who undergo spinal fusion cannot return to their same job and a good number of the…

The purpose of this study is to determine if DNA vaccination of chronic HBV patients under treatment with NRTI can restore T-cell responsiveness and delay virologic reactivation after treatment discontinuation.

We will integrate multi-modal cardiac data via an AI multitask framework to develop and validate concurrent models for liver function, treatment prognosis, and microvascular invasion (MVI) prediction in hepatocellular carcinoma. The resulting tool will be prospectively deployed t…

This is a phase III multi-centre study in two periods: the first period is a phosphate binder and lipid lowering drugs washout for 8 weeks, the second period is a double-blind, randomised, parallel group, fixed dose, for 12 weeks.

In vitro studies have shown that imatinib 1mM inhibits strongly the growth of cutaneous fibroblasts. The hypothesis is that imatinib inhibits PDGFR which is known to be a potential target for the molecule, as recently also proposed after the discovery of autoantibodies activating…

Corneal Cross Linking is new treatment modality for patients with keratoconus. A keratoconus is characterized by progressive bulging and thinning of the eye's cornea. Keratoconus is a potentially severely sight impairing condition that may necessitate corneal transplantation in t…

Background: Family members (spouses, siblings, offspring) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) may themselves be at increased risk for developing CHD for genetic, biochemical and/or behavioural reasons. Targeted approaches aimed at family members of those with establishe…

This clinical trial studies widefield fluorescence and reflectance imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy, and tissue samples in regularly examining (monitoring) participants at risk for developing oral cancer. All tissue and cells are made of tiny particles. Some of these particles …
