NCT00254579
CP-675,206 is a fully human monoclonal antibody (mAb). It binds to the CTLA4 molecule, which is expressed on the surface of activated T lymphocytes. CP-675,206 is thought to stimulate patients' immune systems to attack their tumors. CP-675,206 is not expected to have a direct effect on tumor cells. CP-675,206 been shown to induce durable tumor responses in patients with metastatic melanoma in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies.
NCT00000674
To collect information on the effectiveness and toxicity of clindamycin plus pyrimethamine and leucovorin calcium for the treatment of acute toxoplasmic encephalitis in adult patients with AIDS. Toxoplasmic encephalitis (encephalitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii) is the most frequent cause of focal central nervous system infection in patients with AIDS. If untreated, the encephalitis is fatal. At present, it is standard practice to give a combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadiazine to treat toxoplasmic encephalitis. The high frequency of sulfonamide-induced toxicity in AIDS patients often makes completion of a full course of therapy difficult. There is some information that high doses of parenteral (such as by injection) clindamycin used with pyrimethamine may be as effective as pyrimethamine plus sulfadiazine in the management of the acute phase of toxoplasmic encephalitis in patients with AIDS. Administration of parenteral clindamycin for prolonged periods of time, however, is costly, requires hospitalization, and is inconvenient for the patient. There is some indication that treatment of AIDS patients with acute toxoplasmic encephalitis with oral clindamycin may be effective. Leucovorin calcium is useful in preventing pyrimethamine-associated bone marrow toxicity.
NCT01055015
This is a Phase 3, two-arm, double-blind study of efficacy and safety of Q8003 in patients who have undergone primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty
NCT00807209
To review safety and effectiveness of two doses compared to current standard of care.
NCT00420927
This study compared the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with adalimumab plus methotrexate (MTX) to that of MTX monotherapy (i.e., placebo plus MTX) in subjects with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
NCT00048659
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who take YM598 in addition to mitoxantrone and prednisone (standard therapy) experience improvement in the pain associated with prostate cancer metastases in the bone.
NCT01071408
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an outpatient program can reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.
NCT00119028
Based on the published evidence, collaborative care for depression is both necessary and sufficient for improving care and outcomes for depressed patients in primary care settings. The Translating Initiatives in Depression into Effective Solutions (TIDES) project, upon which ReTIDES is based, developed a VA-adapted version of collaborative care through input from veterans, clinicians, and managers. The initial TIDES project resulted in a clinically stable and effective model as tested in seven primary care practices in three VISNs. This positive result provided the basis for spreading and sustaining the TIDES model and initiating the study of national implementation strategies and issues.
NCT00831051
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, fixed dose factorial study of Q8003 12 mg/8 mg and Q8003 6 mg/4 mg versus its individual morphine sulfate and oxycodone hydrochloride components for the management of acute moderate to severe postoperative pain following bunionectomy surgery.
NCT01016808
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, fixed dose factorial study of Q8003 12 mg/8 mg versus its individual morphine sulfate and oxycodone hydrochloride components for the management of acute moderate to severe postoperative pain following bunionectomy surgery.
NCT00560183
This study will explore the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose combination of morphine and oxycodone for management of acute postoperative pain. The study will explore the efficacy dose response and dosing interval required to maintain adequate analgesia at each tested dosage strength.
NCT01593891
Radio graphic and Intravascular (IVUS) Evaluation of Venous Morphology During Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency Treatment
NCT01278420
The purpose of this study is to compare the visual outcomes with bilateral implantation of Tecnis MF and ReSTOR IOLs Six months post cataract surgery.
NCT00129961
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of sirolimus on the prevention of new non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in kidney transplant recipients.
NCT00046254
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether zoledronic acid given once yearly for two years to men and women after surgical repair of a recent hip fracture will significantly reduce the rate of all re-occurring (new) osteoporotic fractures. All patients will receive vitamin D and calcium.
NCT00064454
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the drug OPC-6535 compared to a placebo in patients with active Ulcerative Colitis. Depending on their response, participants will be offered the investigational medication for up to one year after the study's completion at select sites.
NCT00345631
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Ensure Medical Vascular Closure Device is more effective than standard manual compression at sealing the puncture made in the femoral artery following a cardiac or peripheral diagnostic or interventional procedure while maintaining the same level of safety.
NCT00510419
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate an investigational auto-injector system for delivering sumatriptan under the skin for a single migraine attack. The study could take approximately 5 weeks and will include about 3 office visits to the study doctor, the patient will be contacted every 2 weeks until the patient experiences a migraine and uses the auto-injector. The last visit will be done by a telephone follow-up call.
NCT00771264
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority of percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) therapy compared to sham therapy for the treatment of patients with overall bladder (OAB) symptoms.
NCT00506610
The purpose of this study is to determine whether T-62 is effective in providing relief of pain that can occur after an individual experiences a shingles outbreak, which is an infection in adults caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox.
