Adjuvant Bleomycin, Etoposide and Cisplatin (BEP) Versus Carboplatin in Stage I Seminomatous Testicular Cancer

One course of adjuvant carboplatin AUC7 is considered internationally to be a standard treatment option in clinical stage I seminoma, regardless of risk factors. Treatment is based on a large, randomized phase III study comparing adjuvant carboplatin with adjuvant radiotherapy. This study was done without registering data on possible risk factor for relapse. The relapse rate following carboplatin was in this study estimated to be 5.3 %. Data from a prospective, risk-adapted Spa...

Probiotics to Prevent Relapse After Hospitalization for Bipolar Depression

The purpose of this study is to determine if taking a probiotic supplement versus a placebo will reduce relapse and improve the clinical course among participants who have been hospitalized for bipolar depression.

Relapse in Anorexia Nervosa

The hospitalization in patients with anorexia nervosa has often a short-term success, as weight is restored to a healthy level, but high percentage of patients relapse during the first year following the discharge. Starting from the observation that the relapse rate is lower in outpatient than in inpatient settings, the investigators hypothesized that the reason of this difference is the nature of inpatient treatment and post-inpatient therapy. For this reason, different proced...

Randomized Trial of Mobilized Blood/Marrow Versus Blood Transplant

The use of peripheral blood stem cells(PBSCs) is rapidly growing in the allogeneic transplantation setting as an alternative to bone marrow (BM).It was found that the use of PBSCs is associated with faster hematologic recovery but have yielded differing results regarding the incidence of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and relapse. The study hypothesis: transplantation of mobilized PBSC to haploidentical donor with standard-risk leukemia had comparable engraftment and ...

A Retrospective Study of Patients With Leukemia Relapse in the CNS Treated With CAR T Cells

CAR T cells targeting CD19 have been approved for patients with relapsed or refractory ALL, failing two or more prior protocols. Several institutional-based studies with other CAR T cells targeting CD19 have demonstrated outstanding response rates in patients with refractory disease, and the ability of CAR T cells to clear CNS leukemia. Nevertheless, these cases are sparse and have never been reported collectively. Here, we aim to retrospectively assess toxicity and long term ...

Cognition and Smoking Relapse (HCS)

This study tests whether withdrawal-related cognitive deficits increase smoking relapse among HIV-infected (HIV+) vs. HIV-uninfected smokers (HIV-). Adult smokers (N=300; 150 HIV+, 150 HIV-) will complete 2 sessions to assess cognition (24h abstinence vs. smoking-as-usual; order counterbalanced; weeks 0-2). Subjects will then receive smoking cessation counseling and open label transdermal nicotine (weeks 3-12). Outcomes are: 1) cognition; and 2) abstinence rates at the end-of-t...

Immunogenicity, Safety and Lot to Lot Consistency of Novartis Meningococcal B Recombinant Vaccine When Administered With Routine Infant Vaccinations to Healthy Infants

The proposed study is aimed to assess the immunogenicity, safety and lot to lot consistency of 3 lots of Novartis Meningococcal B vaccine when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines.

Relapse Prevention to Reduce HIV Among Women Prisoners

This study is a feasibility and acceptability study assessing whether providing buprenorphine for women under criminal justice supervision leaving a controlled environment and returning to the community would prevention opioid relapse.

Cognitive Therapy for Treating Depression and Preventing Relapse

This study will compare the effectiveness of cognitive therapy versus antidepressant medication in treating depression and preventing relapse in individuals with recurrent depression.

Improving Immunosuppressive Treatment for Patients With Severe Aplastic Anemia

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure disorder characterized by pancytopenia and a hypocellular bone marrow. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and immunosuppressive treatment with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CsA) have dramatically changed the natural course of this illness, with 5 year survival of 75% in patients undergoing either treatment. Since most patients are not suitable candidates for hematopoietic stem cell tr...

Immunoadsorption vs. Plasmapheresis in the Escalation Therapy of Relapse in Multiple Sclerosis

This observational study investigates the efficacy and safety of immunoadsorption versus plasmapheresis in 60 patients with relapse in Multiple Sclerosis and Clinically isolated syndrome who do not fully recover after a high doses of intravenous corticosteroids.

EMR Versus ESD for Resection of Large Distal Non-pedunculated Colorectal Adenomas

Endoscopic resection of adenomas in the colon is the cornerstone of effective colorectal cancer prevention. Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is currently the most used technique for resection of large distal colorectal adenomas, however, maintains some important limitations. In large lesions, EMR can often only be performed in a piecemeal fashion resulting in relatively low R0-resection rates and high recurrence rates. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a newer procedu...

Real-Time Assessment of Drug Craving, Use, and Abstinence During Outpatient Treatment

The purposes of this study are to determine whether craving, use, and relapse can be prospectively monitored in heroin- and cocaine-abusing outpatients with electronic data-collection devices and to develop methods to monitor different types of relapse in future clinical trials of relapse-prevention medications.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Severely Depressed Inpatients

We examined the hypotheses that severely depressed inpatients treated for 5 weeks with IPT-S plus pharmacotherapy have 1) a higher reduction in depressive symptoms and 2) higher response- and remission rates compared to pharmacotherapy plus CM. For the follow-up period (12 months) we hypothesized a better symptomatic and psychosocial longterm outcome and lower rates of relapse for patients initially treated with combination therapy.

Study to Compare the Acne Relapse Rate of Oral Minocycline to Oral Minocycline in Combination With Topical Tretinoin, Followed by Topical Tretinoin Alone

The use of oral antibiotics alone to treat inflammatory acne provides little to no long term therapeutic benefit. Acne relapse rates can be reduced by using topical tretinoin 0.01% in conjunction with minocycline, thereby increasing the therapeutic effect of the oral antibiotic.
