NCT02130518
Long-term indwelling urinary catheters are associated with chronic recurrent urinary tract infections and blockage caused by crystalline biofilm accumulation (encrustation) of the catheter surfaces. When the urine and catheter are colonized by urease-producing bacteria such as Proteus mirabilis, encrustation of the catheter is likely to occur. The use of a catheter irrigation solution that can prevent biofilm formation and encrustation leading to blockage may keep the catheter patent longer, resulting in fewer catheter changes, potentially lower incidence of UTIs and better patient quality of life. Auriclosene is a non-antibiotic, fast-acting, broad-spectrum antimicrobial, which exhibits potential for the rapid decolonization of a range of urologic pathogens, including the urease-producing Proteus mirabilis. Subjects will be randomized to either Auriclosene Irrigation Solution or Auriclosene Vehicle solution.
NCT01397747
The primary objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact Colorectal Cancer (CRC) screening test for colorectal cancer, using colonoscopy as the reference method. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant by histopathologic examination. The secondary objective is to compare the performance of the Exact CRC screening test to a commercially available FIT assay, both with respect to cancer and advanced adenoma. Lesions will be confirmed as malignant or precancerous by colonoscopy and histopathologic examination.
NCT01252940
The purpose of this randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled Phase 3b study is to evaluate the noninferiority of the emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/RPV/TDF) single-tablet regimen (STR; also referred to as fixed-dose regimen or fixed-dose tablet) relative to regimens consisting of a ritonavir-boosted protease inhibitor (PI+RTV) and two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) in virologically suppressed, HIV-1 infected subjects. The FTC/RPV/TDF STR could offer an attractive treatment option to patients who wish to simplify dosing by reducing pill burden or to improve the tolerability of their treatment. Participants will be randomized into 2 groups, the FTC/RPV/TDF STR group, in which participants will switch treatment regimens at the start of the study, and the Stay on Baseline Regimen (SBR)/Delayed Switch group, in which participants will remain on their baseline regimen during the first 24 weeks of the study (designed to provide an initial active control), and may switch to the FTC/RPV/TDF STR at the Week 24 visit. After the 48-week study analysis period, participants may continue to receive the FTC/RPV/TDF STR per protocol before switching to a commercially available source.
NCT00102986
Men's and women's bodies may process anti-HIV drugs differently. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in blood levels of soft gel capsules and tablets of lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in HIV infected men and women.
NCT02386202
To determine the incidence and predictors of augmented renal clearance (ARC) in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.
NCT01701895
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate how easy it is for female HIV- positive subjects taking Complera to comply with the dietary requirement using a food diary in the short term (4 weeks) and long term (24 weeks and 48 weeks) and to determine association between calorie intake and virologic suppression. A secondary goal of the study is to evaluate subjects' attitudes towards contraception.
NCT00617357
This is a prospective, multicenter, interventional, observational, open label, single arm, longitudinal evaluation of ventral incisional hernia repair using LTM in contaminated or infected sites. Three interim analyses are planned to examine the incidence of surgical site events, postoperative resumption of activities and hernia recurrence.
NCT00932672
This study will test the hypothesis that a low-carbohydrate Atkins diet will prevent or at least minimize the metabolic consequences of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
NCT01118312
The trial will study the effectiveness of nasal steroids for the treatment of chronic rhinitis and/or sinusitis on asthma control.
NCT00389155
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational drug, vinflunine (BMS-710485), in combination with gemcitabine in patients with Transitional Cell Carcinoma who cannot be treated with cisplatin. This study will help to determine whether vinflunine in combination with gemcitabine will extend the time period until further growth of the tumor more than gemcitabine alone.
NCT01220921
The creation of a multi-center cooperative research group encompassing academic and community-based spinal practices . . .
NCT01446471
The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of the presence or absence of cardiac activity by bedside ultrasound during cardiac arrest. The investigators anticipate based on previous research that patients who suffer a cardiac arrest and have cardiac activity on bedside ultrasound will have a greater chance of surviving to hospital admission. The investigators hypothesis is that the mortality rate in patients in cardiac arrest with no cardiac activity by ultrasound will have a mortality rate of 100%.
NCT00003715
RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's melanoma cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Interferon alfa may interfere with the growth of the cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of melanoma vaccine with that of interferon alfa-2b in treating patients who have stage III melanoma that has spread to regional lymph nodes following surgery.
NCT01396291
This study is being done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of asenapine as compared to placebo in preventing the recurrence of mood episodes after stabilization of an acute/manic mixed episode in participants with Bipolar 1 Disorder. After a Screening Period, each participant will receive open-label asenapine and matching placebo for 12 to 16 weeks. Participants who meet stabilization criteria may then be randomized into one of the two study arms (asenapine or matching placebo) to receive double-blind treatment for up to an additional 26-weeks.
NCT00148239
The overall objective of this project is to test the efficacy of an innovative multi-component intervention aimed at reducing the risk for adverse health outcomes among caregivers of older survivors with spinal cord injury or disability, and to improve the well being of the spinal cord-injured survivor. In a three-group, randomized, controlled design providing access to information, resources, and support, we predict that the dual target approach will have a greater positive impact on both the caregiver and survivor than the caregiver-only approach, and that both active treatments will be superior with respect to caregiver outcomes than an information-only control condition.
NCT00660101
To determine if a vaccine made from the patient's own tumor tissue can stimulate an immune response against the patient's tumor cells. To determine the safety of the vaccine.
NCT00298298
To determine if a vaccine made from patient's own tumor tissue can stimulate an immune response against the patient's tumor cells. To determine the safety of the vaccine
NCT00786747
The study investigators have developed an interactive multimedia computer program that provides personally tailored education about colorectal cancer screening in the user's preferred language (English or Spanish). In this study, the investigators will examine whether use of the computer program increases the number of Hispanic patients who receive colorectal cancer screening and lessens or eliminates the glaring disparity in screening between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites.
NCT00311376
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A in treating overactive bladder in spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis patients.
NCT01600963
The purpose of this study is to provide safety and efficacy data for TMC207 and to demonstrate that TMC207 added to a background regimen (BR) is superior to treatment with the BR plus placebo.
