NCT00423787
Ragweed MATAMPL has been developed by Allergy Therapeutics to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with proven type I hypersensitivity to cross reacting ragweed pollens causing rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma bronchiale. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Ragweed MATAMPL versus placebo in ragweed-allergic subjects following 4 subcutaneous injections of study medication administered before the start of the 2007 ragweed pollen season
NCT00414141
Grass MATA MPL has been developed by Allergy Therapeutics (UK) Ltd. to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with proven type I hypersensitivity to cross reacting grass pollens causing rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma bronchiale. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Grass MATA MPL versus placebo in grass-allergic subjects following 4 subcutaneous injections of study medication administered before the start of the 2007 grass pollen season.
NCT00572559
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a commonplace complication of intensive care patients ventilated for longer than 48 hours. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the cause of late onset VAP in up to about 30% of cases in US hospitals. Ineffective treatment of MRSA VAP clearly leads to prolonged mechanical ventilation and is probably associated with higher mortality. The purpose of this protocol is to directly compare linezolid and vancomycin specifically for MRSA VAP.
NCT00003328
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy followed by porfiromycin is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of radiation therapy followed by porfiromycin in treating patients with stage III or stage IV head and neck cancer.
NCT00666757
The purpose of this study is to compare duloxetine with other antidepressants in the treatment of severe depression.
NCT00244712
This study was designed to test the safety and effectiveness of EPZICOM(abacavir/lamivudine) and TRUVADA (emtricitabine/tenofovir) for the treatment of HIV infection when both are used in combination with KALETRA (lopinavir/ritonavir) over 96 weeks
NCT00113516
The purpose of this study is to find out if SU011248 (sunitinib) provides additional benefit when it is given after treatment with two chemotherapy drugs carboplatin and paclitaxel and also if sunitinib is safe for patients with locally advanced and metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
NCT00350636
A new drug for overactive bladder is compared to placebo to determine if it is safe and effective. The study lasts approximately 12 weeks.
NCT00321152
The purpose of the study is to test whether oral 6(S)-5-MTHF (Deplin®) is safe and effective in relieving depression when it is added to standard kinds of antidepressants called serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
NCT00180466
PROSPECT is a multi-center prospective registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) patients with single or double vessel coronary artery disease. Approximately 700 patients with ACS will be enrolled into the study at sites in the United States and European Union.
NCT00259012
The purpose of this study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles to determine the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of pantoprazole in infants aged 1 through 11 months.
NCT00114972
The SYNTAX trial is designed to determine the best treatment for patients with complex coronary disease (blocked or narrowed arteries in both the right and left sides of the heart) by randomizing patients to receive either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stents or to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
NCT00668525
This is a short-term study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of escitalopram in adult patients (18 to 65 years of age) with moderate to severe depression. Patients completing the study may be eligible to enter a long-term open-label extension study with escitalopram.
NCT00964470
The purpose of this study is to compare the rate of healing and the non-adherence of three types of dressings. The study will also compare rate of infection, scarring and perception of pain associated with treatment.
NCT00105859
Pressure ulcers are a serious, costly, and life-long complication of spinal cord injury (SCI). Pressure ulcer prevalence has been estimated at between 17 and 33% among persons with SCI residing in the community. Epidemiological studies have found that 36-50% of all persons with SCI who develop pressure ulcers will develop a recurrence within the first year after initial healing (Carlson et al., 1992; Fuhrer et al., 1993; Goldstein, 1998; Niazi et al., 1997; Salzberg et al. 1998). Recurrence rates have ranged from 21% to 79%, regardless of treatment (Schryvers et al., 2000; Goodman et al., 1999; Niazi et al., 1997). Pressure ulcer treatment is expensive. Surgical costs associated with pressure ulcer treatment can exceed $70,000 per case (Braun et al., 1992). VA administrative (National Patient Care Database, NPCD) data indicate that 41% of inpatient days in the SCI population are accounted for by either primary or secondary diagnoses of pressure ulcers or 23% of SCI inpatient days if restricted to primary diagnoses of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcer recurrence has been associated with many factors including previous pressure ulcer surgery (Niazi et al., 1997). Although little data exist describing the factors associated with recurrence following surgery, some investigators reported recurrence rates of 11%-29% in cases with post-operative complications and 6% to 61% in cases without post-operative complications (Mandrekas \& Mastorakos, 1992; Relander \& Palmer, 1988; Disa et al., 1992). In a retrospective study of 48 veterans with SCI, investigators reported a 79% recurrence rate following surgery (Goodman et al., 1999).
NCT00902252
The purpose of this clinical study is to demonstrate that the Vitala™ Continence Control Device is both safe and effective when worn up to 12 hours per day.
NCT00016068
RATIONALE: Antivirals such as valganciclovir act against viruses and may be effective in preventing cytomegalovirus. It is not yet known if valganciclovir is effective in preventing cytomegalovirus. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying valganciclovir to see how well it works in preventing cytomegalovirus in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplantation.
NCT00120861
This study is being conducted to compare the safety, effectiveness and tolerance of valopicitabine (NM283) when used alone and when valopicitabine is used together with pegylated interferon in hepatitis C treatment failure patients. These results will be compared against the results of treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin, the current standard therapy for treatment of hepatitis C viral infection.
NCT01067950
Current medical therapies are not able to prevent progression of established macroproteinuira (i.e. diabetic nephropathy) to end-stage renal failure in type 1 (insulin dependent) diabetic patients. In this setting, proteinuria is a major risk factor for mortality. Pancreas transplantation, on the contrary, can revert diabetic nephropathy and thereby prevent end-stage chronic renal failure, with theoretically lower risk of death as compared to current medical therapies.The main objective of this study is to assess superiority of isolated pancreas transplantation versus intensive exogenous insulin therapy in type 1 diabetic patients with overt diabetic nephropathy and mildly reduced renal function. The primary endpoint is a composite efficacy/failure end-point including: patient mortality and renal function impairment during 5 years in patients with badly controlled diabetes and nephropathy resisting to up-to-date nephroprotective therapies.Main secondary objectives are safety and efficacy of both regimens, including proteinuria and renal histology evaluation, metabolic control and quality of life, acute and chronic extrarenal complications of diabetes, pancreas survival and all risks related to the transplant procedure (anaesthesia, surgery and immunosuppression side-effects) and to the intensive insulin therapy management.
NCT01026727
This phase 2b study is designed to assess the long-term efficacy (24 weeks) of MPC-4326 in combination with a 2-3 drug optimized background regimen (OBR) relative to the efficacy of a 3-4 antiretroviral (ARV) regimen in treatment experienced, HIV-1 infected subjects.
