NCT02210000
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial designed to confirm the symptomatic effects of camicinal treatment vs. placebo, on gastroparesis symptoms in type 1 and 2 diabetic subjects with gastroparesis. The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a low-dose of camicinal (25 milligram\[mg\]) for 12 weeks of repeat administration improves gastroparesis symptoms as measured by the Gastrointestinal Cardinal Symptom Index - Daily Diary (GCSI-DD) in approximately 120 subjects with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who have documented abnormally slow gastric emptying and have symptoms consistent with gastroparesis. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either camicinal or placebo. The study will consist of a screening/baseline period of up to 35 days, a 12 week treatment period, a 2-week post-treatment assessment of symptoms and a 14 day (+/- 2 days) post treatment safety follow-up visit.
NCT02158936
Eltrombopag olamine (SB-497115-GR) is an orally bioavailable, small molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist that may be beneficial in medical disorders associated with thrombocytopenia. Eltrombopag has been shown to increase platelet counts in patients with thrombocytopenia from various etiologies (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura \[ITP\], liver disease, aplastic anemia and chemotherapy induced thrombocytopenia). Approximately 350 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio (175 into the eltrombopag arm and 175 into the placebo arm). Approximately 55 subjects will be enrolled into the azacitidine. Subjects with intermediate-1, intermediate-2 or high risk MDS by IPSS, and baseline platelet count of \<75 Giga (10\^9) per liter (Gi/L) will only be enrolled. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study designed to explore the platelet supportive care effects of eltrombopag versus placebo in combination with the standard of care hypomethylating agent, azacitidine. The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of eltrombopag versus placebo on the proportion of subjects who are platelet transfusion free during the first 4 cycles of azacitidine therapy. Key secondary endpoints include overall survival, disease response, and disease progression.
NCT00710684
The study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of SB-742457 when added to stable donepezil treatment in subjects with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
NCT01568957
Community ambulation is a highly complex skill requiring the ability to adapt to increased environmental complexity and perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Deficits in dual-tasking may severely compromise the ability to participate fully in community living. Unfortunately, current rehabilitation practice for stroke fails to adequately address dual-task limitations; individuals with stroke continue to exhibit clinically significant dual-task costs on gait at discharge. As a result, many stroke survivors are living in the community with residual deficits that may increase disability in the real world and lead to falls with devastating consequences. To address this issue, the proposed study investigates the efficacy of dual-task gait training on attention allocation and locomotor performance in community-dwelling stroke survivors. Because walking in the real world often requires time-critical tasks and obstacle avoidance, the investigators will test the impact of dual-task gait training on cognitive-motor interference during walking at preferred speed and at maximal speed (Aim 1), and on locomotor control during obstacle negotiation (Aim 2). The investigators will also evaluate the effects of the intervention on community reintegration and participation (Aim 3).
NCT00855569
The rationale underlying the study is that donor site bleeding is common and often problematic when presenting to the burn surgeon or staff. Frequently, gauze wound dressings are not sufficiently hemostatic to control a donor site bleed thereby leading to administration of vasoconstrictive agents and repeated application of wound dressing/pressure. The hemostatic textile Stasilon™ has proven superior to gauze in reducing bleeding from anesthetized pigs undergoing standardized surgically-induced trauma. Also, observational case reports have noted cessation of bleeding in a limited number of human patients with difficult to control bleeds.
NCT01097343
Loss-of-function mutation of the gene encoding the CYP450 2C19 enzyme has emerged as a likely determinant of resistance to clopidogrel therapy. The primary hypothesis of the proposed research is that among patients with confirmed loss-of-function alleles of the CYP2C19 gene, increasing the maintenance clopidogrel dose from 75 to 150 mg will result in significant reduction in the rate of measured clopidogrel resistance defined by multiple measures of platelet function
NCT00799643
Growing evidence over recent years supports a potential role for low grade chronic inflammation in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study we will determine whether salsalate, a member of the commonly used Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) class, is effective in lowering sugars in patients with type 2 diabetes. The study will determine whether salicylates represent a new pharmacological option for diabetes management. The study is conducted in two stages. Enrollment in the first stage is complete. The primary objective of the first stage was to select a dose of salsalate that is both well-tolerated and demonstrates a trend toward improvement in glycemic control. The primary objective of Stage 2 of the study is to evaluate the effects of salsalate on blood sugar control in diabetes; the tolerability of salsalate use in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D); and the effects of salsalate on measures of inflammation, the metabolic syndrome, and cardiac risk.
NCT00910962
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-center study to evaluate initial safety and efficacy of GW856553 in subjects with NSTEMI. Up to approximately 525 subjects will be randomized to meet the MRI recruitment target (90 subjects in substudy.) All subjects will continue to receive the local standard of care for the duration of the study.
NCT01830348
The purpose of the study is to determine if DSC127 is effective in increasing incidence of complete wound closure at 10 weeks confirmed at a visit 2 weeks later when compared to the vehicle (gel without active ingredient) in subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) who have chronic Wagner Grade 1 or 2 plantar neuropathic foot ulcers, 0.75 - 6 cm2 in size.
NCT01840085
To evaluate the safety of topical 0.03% DSC127 Gel when used for one or more continuous treatment periods on a chronic Wagner Grade 1 or 2 foot ulcer(target ulcer) or multiple ulcers in diabetic subjects. The maximum duration of any treatment period is 24 weeks.
NCT00093756
This phase I/II trial (phase I closed to accrual as of 09/29/2009) is studying the side effects and best dose of bortezomib, paclitaxel, and carboplatin when given with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IIIA or stage IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Bortezomib may increase the effectiveness of paclitaxel and carboplatin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving bortezomib, paclitaxel, and carboplatin together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
NCT01057225
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Carfilzomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving combination chemotherapy together with carfilzomib and thalidomide may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of carfilzomib when given together with cyclophosphamide, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in treating patients with newly diagnosed active multiple myeloma.

NCT00726323
This clinical study is being conducted at multiple sites to determine the best confirmed response rate, safety, and tolerability of GSK1363089 treatment in papillary renal cell carcinoma. Papillary renal cell carcinoma may be classified into hereditary and sporadic forms; subjects with either classification will be accepted into this study.
NCT02252146
Recent reports have identified a specific oncogenic mutation L265P of the MYD88 gene in approximately 30% of the patients with the activated B-cell (ABC) type of Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). MYD88 is an initial adapter linker protein in the signaling pathway of the Toll Like Receptors (TLRs), including the endosomal TLRs 7, 8, and 9, for which the ligands are nucleic acids. IMO-8400 is an oligonucleotide specifically designed to inhibit ligand activation of TLRs 7,8, and 9. Recent studies indicate that in the presence of L265P mutation ligand activation of those TLRs results in markedly increased signaling with subsequent increased cell activation, cell survival, and cell proliferation. The scientific rationale for assessing the use of IMO-8400 to treat patients with DLBCL and the L265P mutation is based on laboratory observations that IMO-8400 inhibits ligand-based activation of cells with the mutation and decreases the survival and proliferation of the cell populations responsible for the propagation of the disease.
NCT00985088

NCT01324622
The objective of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of multi-level laminectomy to multi-level laminoplasty in the treatment of patients with cervical myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy. The hypothesis for the study is that the laminoplasty group is not inferior to the laminectomy group.
NCT00859885
The prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is about 25% in the general population and approximately 40% in patients who have ischemic stroke of unknown cause (cryptogenic stroke). Given the large number of asymptomatic patients, no primary prevention is currently recommended. On the contrary, secondary prevention is very important. Prospective studies have shown that antithrombotic treatment (ATT) with aspirin or warfarin appears to negate the risk of recurrent stroke associated with a PFO. Patients with spontaneous or large right-to-left shunts (RLS), those with a coinciding atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) or multiple ischemic events prior to the PFO diagnosis may still be at increased risk of stroke recurrence despite ATT. Percutaneous device closure (PDC) is a challenging alternative to ATT. Several studies reported 0% to 3.4% annual recurrence rates of stroke or TIA in patients treated by PDC. To date, there is no data from randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing the risk of stroke recurrence after PDC with that under ATT only. The results from ongoing RCTs are not to be awaited in the near future, mainly due to low enrolment and event rates. Alternative data-gathering strategies such as multicenter registries are needed to overcome the low recruitment rates. The aim of the present study is to compare the risk of recurrent stroke and TIA in patients with PFO and otherwise unexplained stroke who undergo PDC or receive ATT.
