Yttrium Y 90 DOTA Anti-CEA Monoclonal Antibody M5A in Treating Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies, such as yttrium Y 90 DOTA anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A, can find tumor cells and carry tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for advanced cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of yttrium Y 90 DOTA anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can find cancer cells and carry cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be effective treatment for leukemia. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best dose of yttrium Y 90-labeled monoclonal antibody BU-12 in treating patients with advanced relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Youth Smoking Cessation: Therapy +/- "The Patch"
Reducing tobacco use by adolescents is a national health priority. In recent polls, most adolescent smokers reported having tried unsuccessfully to quit. Smoking cessation treatment during adolescence has the potential to interrupt the progression to nicotine dependence, which is attended by a wide range of negative health consequences. Given the need for effective smoking cessation programs aimed at youth, scientifically rigorous research is warranted to reduce adolescent smok...
RATIONALE: Internal radiation therapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Using radiolabeled glass beads to kill tumor cells may be effective treatment for liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well yttrium Y 90 radiolabeled glass beads work in treating patients with liver cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
A randomized trial from the British National Health Service found that supervised exercise benefits women with early stage breast cancer with improved functional and psychological benefit after a 12-week intervention and 6 months later. Considering the needs of breast cancer patients and survivors and the reported benefits of exercise and yoga intervention, the investigators propose a pilot study of an 8-week yoga intervention in breast cancer patients. This study would specifi...
The aim of the study is to show a higher expression of the Y402H polymorphism in the complement factor H in patients with AMD compared to healthy individuals. Additionaly a correlation between a subsided infection with chlamydia and patients with AMD and a factor H polymorphism will be investigated. An interrelationship with the VEGF-plasma level shall give more hints into the pathomechanism of AMD.
Yoga for Women Attempting Smoking Cessation
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability and initial effectiveness of adding yoga to a traditional, group-based treatment for smoking cessation for women smokers.
Yoga Study in Breast Cancer Patients
This purpose of this study is to test whether a 6-month yoga program improves quality of life and reduces fatigue and weight gain in breast cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the treatment of Yt90 Zevalin in combination with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone)are effective as first line treatment in patients with bulky stage II or stage III or IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of yoga on inflammatory arthritis and knee osteoarthritis.
Young Women's Breast Cancer Research Program
The purpose of this study is to identify novel genetic factors which distinguish breast cancer in younger women compared to older women. By identifying these novel genetic factors we believe more specific therapies can be developed and breast cancer may be prevented among women with an increased cancer risk. A woman does not have to live in St. Louis to participate.
Yellow Fever Virus Vaccine and Immune Globulin Study
The purpose of this study is to determine whether immune globulin can limit the amount of yellow fever vaccine virus present in the blood after vaccination without compromising the immunity associated with the yellow fever vaccine. The study will enroll 80 participants in two groups of 40 each. The first group will receive the yellow fever vaccine with salt-water placebo. The second group will receive yellow fever vaccine with immune globulin. The amount of vaccine virus and im...
Yoga in Treatment of Eating Disorders
Purpose: to examine effects of hatha yoga in treatment of eating disorders. Methods: Participants: patients with DSM-IV Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa or Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified will be invited to participate in this study. Exclusion criteria will be age under 18, serious medical complications, psychosis or increased risk of suicide. Design: randomized controlled single-blinded trial. Intervention: 2 x 90 min weekly group sessions for 12 weeks with...
Yoga in Relieving Fatigue in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer
RATIONALE: Yoga may decrease fatigue, distress, and depression, and improve sleep quality in patients undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. It is not yet known whether practicing yoga in group classes is more effective than practicing yoga at home. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well yoga works in relieving fatigue in patients undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.
This study seeks to determine whether a specially designed Hatha Yoga program can reduce hyperkyphosis in men and women who are at least 60 years of age and who have excessive thoracic kyphosis.
Yoga Program in Respiratory Function
This study tested the hypothesis that yoga practice can improve respiratory function in the elderly.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out what effects radioactive particles, SIR-spheres, have when injected into the liver, followed by systemic chemotherapy with a combination of cetuximab and irinotecan compared to those who have systemic therapy alone, in patients with colon cancer that has metastasized to the liver. The safety of this treatment and how well it controls the disease will also be studied.
Young Blind Child Melatonin Treatment Study
The primary goal of this study is to identify the presence of desynchronized circadian rhythms in 25 children by measuring melatonin secretion in serial blood or saliva samples, and to rule out any primary sleep disorders.
YUKON-Drug-Eluting Stent Below The Knee - Randomised Double-Blind Study
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the treatment with balloon-expandable YUKON-BTX-Sirolimus-eluting stent over the treatment with YUKON-BTX uncoated stent in patients with ischemic infrapopliteal arterial disease.
Yasmin 20 Cycle Control - Yasmin 20 Versus Mercilon in Healthy Female Volunteers
The purpose of this study is to compare bleeding pattern of contraceptive Yasmin 20 to a marketed comparator.
Yoga for the Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome
We tested the following hypotheses: 1. That a standardized yoga therapy will improve insulin sensitivity (primary outcome), and other features of the metabolic syndrome such as hypertension and dyslipidemia (secondary outcomes), we will perform a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test, fasting blood tests, and a physical examination before and after randomization of subjects to a 10-week yoga therapy intervention or wait-list control group. 2. That a...
Yield and Safety of Colonoscopy in Patients Older Than 80 Years
The aim of the study is to study the risk of colorectal cancer and polyps in people older than 80 years compared to the younger age group. The researchers hypothesized that colonoscopy in older people is likely to have more complications without detection of a significant number of large polyps and cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of fluvastatin, pravastatin, pitavastatin, and atorvastatin on coronary plaque volume in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and to clarify the impact of moderate and intensive lipid lowering therapy on coronary plaque volume, serum lipids, and inflammation markers in patients with acute coronary syndrome in Japanese.
The purpose of this study is to ask youn women diagnosed with ovarian cancer who have undergone surgery that will allow them to have children in the future, on issues such as: education about their options to keep their ability to have children, after-chemotherapy treatment decision making, and reproductive history. The second purpose is to determine the effect of an early diagnosis of ovarian cancer on the sexual functioning of women.
Yearly Strain Variation Study, 2010/2011
