NCT00626405
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether bevacizumab is more effective when given together with temozolomide or paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin in killing malignant melanoma cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving temozolomide together with bevacizumab and to see how well it works compared with giving bevacizumab together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and carboplatin in treating patients with stage IV malignant melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery.
NCT00068445
RATIONALE: Lamotrigine may be effective in reducing pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. It is not yet known whether lamotrigine is effective in treating peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well lamotrigine works in reducing pain, numbness, tingling, and other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer.
NCT03411681
Obesity has numerous comorbidities that are associated with exceedingly high healthcare costs. In addition to well- characterized impairments in lipid and glucose metabolism, obesity is associated with altered protein metabolism. We have recently observed that obese individuals are essentially nonresponsive to protein ingestion with respect to myofibrillar protein synthesis. This suggests that skeletal muscle remodeling in obese individuals is impaired possibly contributing to a poor metabolic quality of muscle. Resistance exercise is known to strongly augment muscle protein synthesis in response to protein ingestion. The purpose of this research is to determine the muscle protein synthetic response during post-exercise recovery in obese individuals. Using stable isotope methodology, we will determine the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response in 14 male and female obese adults (Age: 20-45, BMI: 30-39.9 kg/m2) immediately after an acute bout of resistance exercise. Participants will be sedentary (\< 60 min exercise/ week) and weight stable for a minimum of 6 months. During the testing blood and muscle samples will be collected. In addition participants will be asked to perform moderate intensity resistance exercise. Completion of the proposed research will identify the role of resistance exercise in the maintenance of skeletal muscle tissue after the consumption of a protein-dense meal in obese people.
NCT02642159
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab in comparison with usual care in the reduction of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in participants with type 2 diabetes and mixed dyslipidemia at high cardiovascular risk with non-HDL-C not adequately controlled with maximally tolerated statin therapy. Secondary Objectives: * To demonstrate whether alirocumab is superior in comparison with usual care in its effects on other lipid parameters (ie, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), total cholesterol (Total -C), lipoprotein a (Lp\[a\]), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TGs), triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TGRLs), apolipoprotein A-1 (Apo A-1), apolipoprotein C-III (Apo C-III), lipid subfractions by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (ie, LDL-C particle size and LDL, very low-density lipoprotein \[VLDL\], HDL, and intermediate-density lipoprotein \[IDL\] particle number). * To assess changes in glycemic parameters with alirocumab vs. usual care treatment. * To demonstrate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. * To evaluate treatment acceptance of alirocumab. * To evaluate proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) concentrations and antibody development. * To demonstrate the superiority of alirocumab vs. fenofibrate on non-HDL-C and other lipid parameters (subgroup analysis).
NCT02526524
The purpose of the study is to compare the glycemic effects of delayed-release metformin (Met DR) to placebo in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) over 16 weeks. The study is designed to evaluate several doses of Met DR (600 to 1500 mg once daily in the morning \[qAM\]) compared to placebo. A single-blind reference treatment of 2000 mg metformin immediate-release (Met IR) per day administered as equal divided doses (1000 mg Met IR BID) will also be included.
NCT01727297
This study is to determine, through continuous monitoring with the Reveal implantable cardiac monitor (ICM), the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients suspected to be at high risk for having AF and to understand how physicians manage these patients after AF has been detected. This study will also seek to identify what patient characteristics are most predictive of developing AF.
NCT01457768
This Registry is designed to obtain long term data on participants who have failed to achieve sustained virologic response (SVR) while receiving at least one Gilead oral antiviral agent (OAV) in a previous Gilead-sponsored hepatitis C virus (HCV) study.
NCT01790438
The purpose of this study is to compare LY2605541 and human insulin isophane suspension (NPH) using the following measures for participants treated for up to 26 weeks: * Change in participants' overall blood sugar control * The rate of night time low blood sugar episodes * The number of participants that reach blood sugar targets without low night time blood sugar episodes * The total number of low blood sugar episodes reported
NCT02546609
The goal of this study is to determine if NS-0200 can reduce the amount of liver fat in patients diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study will compare two doses of NS-0200 to placebo in NAFLD patients.
NCT02128217
Early identification of acute HCV infection is essential to prevent chronic infections and the long-term liver disease complications that may occur. Early identification and treatment of HCV during the acute phase can result in significantly higher response rates with shorter durations of therapy. Pegylated-interferon alfa (PEG-IFN) was the typical treatment for HCV infection. Participants subcutaneously inject PEG-IFN where the average duration of treatment was approximately 20 weeks. With the advancement of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), it was possible to see if a new DAA might be non-inferior compared to (PEG-IFN). The study was designed to see if a fixed-dose combination tablet can replace the old HCV treatments by being more effective, safer and better tolerated in HIV-infected participants with new HCV infection. The study was a Phase I, open-label, two cohort clinical trial, in which 44 acutely HCV-infected HIV-1 positive participants were enrolled. Participants in each cohort were evaluated in two steps: on treatment (Step 1) and follow-up after discontinuing study treatment (Step 2). The cohorts were enrolled sequentially. Participants in Cohort 1 were enrolled and administered oral Sofosbuvir (SOF) in combination with weight-based ribavirin (RBV). Participants in Cohort 2 were enrolled and administered an oral fixed dose combination of Ledipasvir/Sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF).

NCT01469377
An outpatient study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cariprazine as adjunct to antidepressant therapy (ADT) in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have an inadequate response to ADT alone. This clinical study compared cariprazine + ADT with placebo + ADT in outpatients with a diagnosis of MDD and an inadequate response to ADT. The study consisted of approximately 2 weeks of screening and washout followed by 8 weeks of double-blind treatment followed by a 1 week safety follow-up.
NCT00420004
This is a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of LY2216684 compared to placebo in treating adults with major depressive disorder.
NCT02085538
Since the amount of palbociclib eliminated in urine is 6.9%, renal impairment is not expected to have much impact on palbociclib. However, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Guidance recommends a study in subjects with renal impairment when the drug is likely to be used in patients with impaired renal function. Palbociclib is intended for chronic use in cancer patients who may have some degree of impaired renal function.
