Pharmacogenetic Study of Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation

A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Open Label Trial to Determine if a Common Atrial Fibrillation Risk Locus Modulates Differential Response to Antiarrhythmic Drugs

Subjects will be monitored with the Medtronic Reveal LINQ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) system to assess AF burden. The device will be programmed to optimize the memory for storing AF episode..

Quality of life assessment: Patients will be asked to fill out the AFEQT quality of life questionnaire baseline (study randomization), two, four, six, eight, ten, and 12 months (completion of the study). The questionnaire at the end of the 6rd month will be administered just prior to stopping the first study drug. The validated questionnaire is comprised of 20 questions about AF symptoms with answers given on a Likert scale. The questionnaire will be provided to the patients in paper format either in person or by mail, as applicable. A follow-up phone call will be made to each patient to ensure that the questionnaire is completed and returned.

Fenretinide in Healthy Young Women at Genetic and Familial Risk

Breast Cancer Prevention With Fenretinide in Young Women at Genetic and Familil Risk. A Phase III Randomized Clinical Trial

The aim of the proposed trial is to assess the efficacy of fenretinide, (4 hydroxyphenilretinamide, 4-HPR), a vitamin A derivative, in reducing the incidence of breast cancer (BC) in healthy young premenopausal women at increased familial/genetic risk for BC (i.e. BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers or subjects at high risk of being carriers). The primary endpoint is the incidence of invasive BC and ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN), histologically diagnosed.

Incidence of other non-invasive breast disorders, ovarian cancers and other cancers.
Early intermediate biomarkers of efficacy after 12, 36, and 60 months of treatment. We will also evaluate the percent change in circulating biomarkers of the IGF system, androgens, retinol binding protein (RBP-4), insulin, blood glucose and VEGF, after 12, 36 and 60 months of treatment.
