NCT00291551
This is a limited safety and feasibility study to evaluate the PVSS Introducer and Paracor Ventricular Support System when used to treat patients with heart failure. The implant, which is loaded onto the delivery system, is placed over the epicardial surface of the right and left ventricles. No formal hypothesis testing will be performed; descriptive statistics will be used to summarize patient outcomes. The results of the study will be used to guide the design and sample size estimation of future studies.
NCT00013520
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of 3 anti-HIV combination treatments that do not use protease inhibitors (PIs). The current rule for starting treatment of HIV infection is to combine members from different classes of anti-HIV drugs, such as 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and either a PI or a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). However, these combinations can be complicated and difficult to take, can cause a number of side effects, and may become ineffective. Combinations that are simpler, better tolerated, and more effective are needed. Because PIs can cause long-term side effects and because HIV can become resistant to many of them at the same time, anti-HIV combination treatments that do not use PIs are being tested.
