NCT01080807
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether armodafinil treatment is more effective than placebo treatment in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with shift work disorder (SWD) by measuring improved clinical condition late in the shift, including the commute home.
NCT00377637
This 2 arm study assessed the efficacy of Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF; CellCept) compared to cyclophosphamide in inducing a response in patients with lupus nephritis, and the long term efficacy of MMF compared to azathioprine in maintaining remission and renal function. Patients were randomized to receive either MMF (1.5 g twice daily \[bid\]) or cyclophosphamide (0.5-1.0 g/m\^2 in monthly pulses) in the induction phase. Those patients meeting criteria for response were re-randomized for entry into the maintenance phase, to receive either MMF (1 g bid) or azathioprine (2 mg/kg/day).
NCT00591591
The goal of this trial is to assess the performance of the OxiplexTS-an absolute near-infrared oximeter-as an instrument to measure brain oxygenation and hemodynamics in sleep medicine as well as in the broader field of cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diagnostics.
NCT00053560
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the effects of GL701 on bone mineral density in women with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who are also receiving treatment with glucocorticoids (e.g., prednisone).
NCT00006133
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of oral contraceptives containing low-dose synthetic estrogens and progestins on disease activity in premenopausal women with inactive, stable, or moderate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). II. Determine the effect of hormone replacement therapy with conjugated estrogens and progestins on disease activity in postmenopausal women with inactive, stable, or moderate SLE.
NCT00307957
The Pillar palatal implant procedure is a minimally invasive and commercially available treatment for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the United States and Europe. The implants are placed into the soft area in the roof of the mouth providing support to the soft palate. This research is being done to compare daytime sleepiness and sleep related quality of life after palatal implants.
NCT00313885
Fibromyalgics frequently report sleep disturbances, in particular poor and unrefreshing sleep. Additionally, studies have reported that sleep problems, pain and mood disturbances are associated in patients with fibromyalgia. By improving the quality of sleep, complaints of poor and unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, pain, which are among the main components of this chronic pain disorder may be improved.
NCT00428597
This study randomized patients with advanced pancreatic islet cell tumors to receive either sunitinib or placebo. Patients who were randomized to sunitinib received 37.5 mg of sunitinib daily, those randomized to placebo received a tablet that looked similar but had no active drug. Neither the patient or the doctor knew whether the patient was receiving sunitinib or placebo. Patients were followed to determine the status and size of their tumors, survival, quality of life and safety of the drug. The study was designed to detect a 50% improvement in median PFS\[Progression Free Survival\] with 90% power and was to enroll 340 subjects. An interim analysis was planned when 130 events had occurred, and the final analysis was to be conducted when 260 events had occurred. Study A6181111 was stopped early during the enrollment period because of a clear and clinically meaningful improvement in efficacy for the sunitinib treatment arm as recommended by the DMC \[Data Monitoring Committee\]. The actual number of subjects enrolled was 171 and the actual number of PFS events recorded was 81 PFS events. The decision to terminate the study was not based on safety concerns related to sunitinib administration.
NCT00401284
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a compound known as EVT 201 is effective in treating elderly patients diagnosed with primary insomnia who also have moderate daytime sleepiness.
NCT00111306
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety \& efficacy of Epratuzumab with standard treatments for patients with SLE.
NCT00253903
The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of eplivanserin in the population of patients complaining of sleep maintenance insomnia. The patients suffering from that condition frequently wake up during the night, their sleep is nonrestorative and they suffer from a significant distress or impairment in their daily activities consecutive to insomnia.
