NCT00306254
To study the safety and effectiveness of several doses of PD 0348292 compared to enoxaparin in preventing blood clots in the lungs or deep leg veins of patients after knee surgery
NCT00289302
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. In certain heart failure cases, when the two lower chambers of the heart no longer beat in a coordinated manner, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be prescribed. CRT is similar to a pacemaker. It is placed (implanted) under the skin of the upper chest. CRT is delivered as tiny electrical pulses to the right and left ventricles through three or four leads (soft insulated wires) that are inserted through the veins to the heart. People who have a dangerously fast heart beat, or whose heart is at risk of stopping beating, may be in need of an electronic device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). An ICD is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area and it sends a strong electrical impulse, or shock, to the heart to return it to a normal rhythm. If the heart is beating too slowly or at an abnormal rhythm, an ICD can also pace the heart to return the heart to its normal rhythm. The InSync ICD device can change the timing of when the left and right ventricles of the heart are paced to beat. The purpose of this study is to monitor the long-term performance of the InSync ICD Model 7272 and the InSync Marquis 7277 systems for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
NCT00041626
There is a need for more treatment options for patients with recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (SCCHN). These tumors usually have a variety of genetic defects that include disruption of the p53 pathway, a pathway that would ordinarily work to prevent the development of tumors. In this study the transfer of the p53 gene to tumor cells using a modified adenovirus (INGN 201) in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin and fluorouracil) will be compared to chemotherapy with cisplatin and fluorouracil in patients who have failed surgery and radiotherapy.
NCT00185042
The purpose of this study is to learn if CS-505 is safe and effective for slowing down or possibly reversing the buildup of tissue, cells and fatty deposits (plaque) in the blood vessels of the heart (coronary artery atherosclerosis).
NCT00110864
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PN2034 in insulin-dependent type 2 diabetics as measured by the change in average daily insulin dose from baseline to week 12. The effects of PN2034 on HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and lipid levels will also be measured.
NCT00110851
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PN2034 administered to type 2 diabetics on concomitant rosiglitazone and metformin (or Avandamet) therapy as measured by change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels from baseline to Week 12. Also the study will evaluate the effect of PN2034 on glucose control as measured by fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and on fasting lipid levels: triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL).
NCT00061672
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of ABT-510 in subjects with refractory lymphoma.
NCT00061646
The primary objective of this Phase II study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and effectiveness of ABT-510 in combination with standard carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy in subjects with stage IIIb or IV NSCLC.
NCT00512590
The purpose of this pilot study was to test the effects of a 10-week relaxation and guided imagery intervention on pain perception, functional status, self-efficacy and levels of distress in Hispanic adults diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
NCT00231946
The study is designed to investigate the activity of the hormone drug leuprolide acetate in stabilizing cognitive function in mild-to-moderate AD patients.
NCT00195780
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of the Investigational Medication Depakote ER in the treatment of Bipolar I Disorder, manic or mixed episode, in children and adolescents ages 10-17.
NCT00051298
This study is to determine the efficacy (how well the drug works), safety, and any side effects of olanzapine compared to placebo in the treatment of schizophrenia in adolescents. Both the potential benefits and side effects of olanzapine will be evaluated throughout this trial.
NCT00417365
Comparing the new Stainless Steel WaterWorks® douching device to a commercially available douching device using just water for safety and efficacy of odor abatement.
NCT00092508
This dose comparison study, taking place at over 200 sites worldwide, will compare the dosing, safety and efficacy of an investigational medicine OPC-6535 to the dosing, safety and efficacy of Asacol ® in the maintenance of remission in subjects with ulcerative colitis.
NCT00236132
The main goal of the pectus multicenter outcomes study is to document the utility of PEx repair in improving health and quality of life and to test the prevailing belief that the two predominant surgical procedures currently in use for PEx repair are essentially equivalent in terms of long-term outcomes. We believe the uncertainty about the impact of PEx on cardiopulmonary function is due to part to the fact that the previous studies have not measured the physiological parameters mostly likely affected by the defect. A protocol to test this was developed. Thus, we propose to use these measures as well as conventional output of progressive exercise test to examine cardiopulmonary function before and after surgical repair of PEx within the context of the original study.
NCT00490191
This study tested whether a dose regimen of growth hormone based on body weight is equivalent or better than starting with a low dose and gradually increasing the dose according to individual patient needs. Efficacy of the two regimens were assessed from changes in body fat measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning, performed at the beginning of the study and at the completion of the study eight months later.
NCT00121979
Racivir ® (RCV) is an experimental drug which means it is not approved for use by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but it can be used in research studies like this one. RCV (Racivir®) is part of a class of drugs known as "Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors" (NRTIs), which are intended to block a further increase in the amount of HIV virus in the body. Laboratory research suggests that RCV (Racivir®) may be effective in patients who have developed resistance to other NRTIs, particularly 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®). However, a study of RCV (Racivir®) has not been done with patients who have previously been treated with other HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy -- taking multiple HIV drugs at once) medications including 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of RCV (Racivir®) when used together with other HIV drugs in people who have previously been treated with 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®) and are failing with their current HAART treatments. This study will include a total of 60 HIV infected, HAART-experienced subjects currently receiving 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir®) as part of their HAART therapy. The study will take place at approximately 11 study sites in the US and Latin America.
NCT00002168
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two anti-HIV drug combinations when given to HIV-infected patients who have never been treated with anti-HIV drugs. One drug combination is stavudine (d4T) plus didanosine (ddI) plus Crixivan. The other combination is Retrovir (AZT) plus Epivir (3TC) plus Crixivan.
NCT00098046
Varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox in children and shingles in adults. Chickenpox is usually a self-limiting illness characterized by fever and a rash. Serious complications can include secondary bacterial infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis. Anti-viral treatment is not a standard of care in immunocompetent children, but is recommended whenever a risk of complication exists. This study will evaluate the safety and blood levels of a new formulation of famciclovir in children 1-12 years of age.
NCT00263874
This initial proof of concept, phase II study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of UK-500,001 for the chronic maintenance treatment of adults with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
