NCT01185990
The study is designed to identify specific patterns of brain functional activity associated with chronic, moderate to severe tinnitus through the use of resting-state MEG scans. Robust patterns identified in this study will be used as a biomarker for subsequent clinical evaluation of experimental drug treatments for tinnitus. This study will conduct MEG scans on approximately 30 to 75 subjects with tinnitus and approximately 15 healthy control subjects. MEG scans will be obtained for each subject following screening, clinical and tinnitus evaluations. A subset of 6 subjects from the tinnitus cohort will be invited to undergo evoked auditory assessment during an extended MEG scan session to identify cortical regions that respond to the auditory stimulus. These six subjects also will be evaluated with a single structural MRI scan to support high-resolution mapping of the localized cortical regions. MEG data will be analyzed to identify patterns of brain activity that are specifically associated with the presence of tinnitus using both standard approaches and the Orasi Synchronous Neural Interaction™ (SNI) test. MEG scan results also will be evaluated to identify specific patterns of functional activity that correlate with other measures of tinnitus severity such as the Iowa Tinnitus Handicap Scale. This study will test the hypothesis that moderate to severe tinnitus is associated with altered patterns of brain functional activity measured by a brief, resting-state MEG scan. This hypothesis will be tested by comparing resting-state MEG scans of tinnitus patients with those the of healthy control subjects collected during this study and available in Orasi's existing MEG scan database.
NCT00000671
To compare the effectiveness and toxicity of didanosine (ddI) and zidovudine (AZT) in patients with AIDS or advanced AIDS-related complex (ARC) who have tolerated AZT therapy for 12 months or longer. Per amendment, asymptomatic patients with CD4 counts less than 200 cells/mm3 are eligible. AZT is effective in reducing mortality in patients with AIDS who receive the drug after the first episode of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and in patients with advanced ARC. However, AZT therapy has been associated with significant toxicities. In addition, the effectiveness of AZT appears to decrease during the second and third years of therapy. For these reasons, the development of alternative therapy that would be at least as effective but less toxic is of great importance. The drug ddI is an antiviral agent that inhibits replication of HIV with less apparent toxicity than AZT. Studies indicate that ddI remains active in the body for at least 12 hours; thus benefits of ddI might be achieved with a low frequency of drug administration.
NCT00000979
To compare the effectiveness and toxicity of didanosine (ddI) and zidovudine (AZT) in patients with AIDS, advanced AIDS-related complex (ARC), or asymptomatic infection with CD4 counts \< 200 cells/mm3. AZT is effective in reducing mortality in patients with AIDS who receive the drug after the first episode of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and in patients with advanced ARC. However, AZT therapy has been associated with significant toxicities. In addition, the effectiveness of AZT appears to decrease during the second and third years of therapy. For these reasons, the development of alternative therapy that would be at least as effective but less toxic is of great importance. The drug ddI is an antiviral agent that inhibits replication (reproduction) of HIV with less apparent toxicity than AZT.
NCT00000672
AMENDED: 8/29/90 Inclusion of asymptomatic patients with CD4 counts less than 200 cells/mm3. Standardization of baseline evaluation schedule to allow 14 days prior to study dosing. Reduction in frequency and intensity of follow-up evaluations. Standardization of study endpoints. Inclusion of toxicity scoring and management for amylase and triglyceride elevations. Clarification of concomitant medication use. Original design: To determine the effectiveness of didanosine (ddI) in patients with AIDS or advanced AIDS related complex (ARC) who have documented hematologic intolerance to zidovudine (AZT) therapy. To determine if the efficacy of ddI increases with increasing doses. AZT is effective in reducing mortality in patients with AIDS who receive the drug after the first episode of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and in patients with advanced ARC. However, AZT therapy has been associated with significant toxicities. In addition, the effectiveness of AZT appears to decrease during the second and third years of therapy. For these reasons, the development of alternative therapy that would be at least as effective but less toxic is of great importance. The drug ddI is an antiviral agent that inhibits replication (reproduction) of HIV with less apparent toxicity than AZT. The major dose-limiting toxicities found in the Phase I studies have been pains in the feet and legs of 2 patients initially receiving 12 mg/kg/day and 12 patients receiving daily doses of 25.8 to 51.2 mg/kg; symptoms began 8 to 27 weeks after initiating ddI treatment. These neuropathy-like symptoms have generally not been associated with significant abnormalities in nerve conduction studies and patients have reported marked improvement in symptoms within 1 to 2 weeks of discontinuing ddI. Some patients have resumed ddI treatment at a reduced dose after resolution of their symptoms. Studies indicate that ddI remains active in the body for at least 12 hours. This indicates that benefits of ddI might be achieved with a low frequency of drug administration.
NCT00441064
This study will compare the effects of high and low level sodium (salt) diets on blood pressure in patients with hypertension (high blood pressure) who are taking aliskiren 300 mg.
NCT01070303

NCT00070655
This trial will include patients who have a heart condition called atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal rhythm (irregular beat) in the heart. Patients with atrial fibrillation have an increased chance for a blood clot to form in the heart and move to other blood vessels in the body and cause obstruction. This obstruction may damage tissue. For example, a blood clot plugging a vessel in the brain could cause a stroke. Therefore, patients with atrial fibrillation may be given anticoagulant (blood-thinning) tablets such as warfarin or acenocoumarol. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a new injectable anticoagulant drug that is administered once weekly, SR34006 with warfarin or acenocoumarol tablets. Assignment to either SR34006 Injection or vitamin K antagonist (warfarin or acenocoumarol) tablets will be purely by chance and will be known by both patients and their doctors.
NCT00670306
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common hyperplastic disease occuring in human males over the age of 50 which increases in prevalence with age and 40% of males reported moderate or severe urinary symptoms of prostatism by the age of 50 to 80. The purpose of this study is to collect safety and efficacy data for this dosage regimen of cetrorelix pamoate. For this study, study medication (Cetrorelix pamoate) is administered by injection in the buttocks (Intramuscular).
NCT00067093
Patients who have deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the leg) will be treated in this study. The purpose of the study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a new injectable anticoagulant (blood thinning) drug administered once each week, SanOrg34006, with the standard way of treating deep vein thrombosis. The standard treatment includes injections or infusions of an anticoagulant drug (Unfractionated Heparin or low molecular weight heparin) for about a week, followed by vitamin K antagonist (VKA) anticoagulant tablets (warfarin or acenocoumarol) which are taken by mouth. Eligible patients will be assigned to treatment with either SanOrg34006 or the combination of Unfractionated Heparin or low molecular weight heparin plus a VKA (warfarin or acenocoumarol) by random chance. Treatment will be known to both patients and their doctors.
