NCT00256607
A predominant consequence of diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 is accelerated development of atherosclerosis related conditions. Conventional cardiovascular risk factors only explain a portion of the excess risk for atherosclerosis in this population. In vitro, animal and epidemiologic studies have suggested that a variety of "novel" cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), including triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TGRL), small dense low density lipoprotein (D-LDL) subfractions, oxidative stress, and advanced glycation endproduct (AGE) formation may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. These risk factors may also induce endothelial cell activation/injury or local or systemic inflammation that cause elevations in plasma levels of additional novel risk factors, such as soluble adhesion molecules, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP). Many of these risk factors are increased in DM type 2, presumably as a consequence of hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. However, no studies have evaluated the singular or synergistic relationship of these novel (CVRF) to measures of atherosclerosis as well as to the development of clinical macrovascular events in individuals with diabetes. If, as we suspect, these novel CVRF are related to development of atherosclerosis and macrovascular disease, it will be critical for the future design of prevention strategies to know whether intensive glucose lowering significantly reduces the levels of these novel CVRF. Furthermore, it would be important to explore whether the relationship of the above novel risk factors to atherosclerosis and development of clinical events is attenuated in those individuals receiving glucose lowering therapy. Alternatively, if glucose lowering has no effect (or a negative effect), on relevant novel CVRF, this could potentially explain the limited success of intensive glucose lowering to reduce macrovascular events in several prior trials. The investigator proposes to take advantage of the study population and framework of the recently approved VA Cooperative Study of "Glycemic Control and Complications in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2" to address these issues in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
NCT00458575
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and immunogenicity (ability of an antigen to provoke immune response in the human body) of CNTO 2476, administered subretinally, in participants with advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP; disease of the eye that leads to loss of vision and blindness) with either light perception only (LP) or hand motion (HM).
NCT01162122
The present phase III study aims to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of MF59-adjuvanted subunit seasonal influenza vaccine and to evaluate the consistency in the manufacturing process of three consecutive lots of MF59-adjuvanted subunit seasonal influenza vaccine with respect to immunogenicity in subjects aged 65 years and older. The active comparator non-adjuvanted seasonal influenza vaccine is approved for use in this age group in the United States and will be used to provide a comparative assessment for immunogenicity and safety.
NCT00867698
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AST-120 is safe and effective in the treatment of mild hepatic encephalopathy.
NCT00881530
The objective of the current study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of BI 10773 in 2 different doses compared to Metformin or to Sitagliptin given for 78 weeks in different modalities of treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT01925391
Pediatric glaucoma is a rare but potentially blinding condition where the pressure in the eye is too high. Diagnosis is based on intraocular pressure (IOP) and assessment of the optic nerve, cornea and other structures. Accurate intraocular pressure measurements in young children is often impossible to obtain in an office setting. Children need sedation or general anesthesia to determine IOP. All volatile general anesthetics affect the IOP. Nitrous Oxide, a weak volatile anesthetic, does not affect IOP in healthy adults. Since Nitrous Oxide has shown to be safe and effective in a variety of practice environments, we want to evaluate the use of nitrous oxide in oxygen to obtain IOP measurements in children.
NCT00805467
The purpose of this new research study is to gain additional information about how safe and effective R935788 is over a longer period of time.
NCT00309699
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of flexible-doses paliperidone ER (3 to 12 mg as needed) compared with placebo over 3 weeks in patients with Bipolar I Disorder who are experiencing an acute manic or mixed episode. This study will also evaluate the effects of paliperidone ER on global functioning, and will compare the effectiveness of flexible doses of paliperidone ER to that of quetiapine over 12 weeks.
NCT01656239
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose level(s) of fedovapagon which result in a decrease in the mean nocturnal void frequency.
NCT00796783
This is an observational study to confirm the presence of recurrent or persistent endogenous Cushing's syndrome in patients who have had primary surgical and/or radiation therapy for Cushing's disease and continue to manifest symptoms and signs of hypercortisolemia.
NCT00440271
The primary purpose of this study is to: 1. Demonstrate the safety and efficacy of tipranavir/ritonavir (TPV/r) among a racially diverse HIV+ population (males and females) who are three-class (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), and protease inhibitor (PI)) experienced with documented resistance to more than one PI. 2. Determine pharmacokinetic data in this racially and gender diverse population. 3. Determine the potential utility of using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in improving efficacy outcomes.
NCT00926289
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that the fixed-dose combination of T80/HCTZ25 is superior as first line therapy in reducing seated trough cuff Systolic Blood Pressure(SBP) compared to the monotherapy of T80 in patients with grade 2 or grade 3 hypertension (SBP\>=160 mmHg and Diastolic Blood Pressure(DBP)\>=100 mmHg).
NCT01159600
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of two doses of BI 10773 compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add-on therapy to metformin or metformin plus sulfonylurea in patients with Typ 2 Diabetes Mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control.
NCT00874302
Subjects with symptomatic uterine fibroids will be enrolled and will receive daily oral study medication for 4 months. This will be followed by a 6 month off-drug interval until there is a return of significant symptomatology. If they experience symptoms of a certain severity, the subject will enter a second 4 month treatment cycle and then a follow-up period.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-response relationship of antiviral activity after 48 weeks treatment with 3 different dose regimens of TMC278.
NCT00113607
The purpose of the study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of the combination of trabectedin + DOXIL with DOXIL monotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer.
NCT00995345

NCT00793624

NCT01033994
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases affecting the joints, usually those that are weight bearing such as the knees. OA is considered to be a disease of the cartilage in the joints even though it involves the whole joint, including the bone and synovium (thin lining of the joints which produces synovial fluid). With time, more and more of the cartilage is destroyed by the disease with inflammation commonly occurring. AS902330 is expected to increase the production and development of specific bone cells: chondrocytes and osteoblasts (cells that produce and maintain bone and cartilage). This is expected to lead to repair and generation of the cartilage, and a narrowing of the space width between the knee joints in a selected region of the knee cartilage. The purpose of this study is to see how safe treatment with AS902330 is, and to evaluate its effect on the knee cartilage. In addition, the study will also measure the effects of AS902330 in the blood, which reflect disease activity.
