NCT00032591
Since home monitors of prothrombin time (PT) may potentially improve the safety, quality, and convenience of chronic anticoagulation management, it is likely that there will be demands from providers, patients, and manufacturers to make home monitors available to VA patients. The rationale for patient self-testing (PST) is that, compared to conventional high quality anticoagulation management (HQACM), it would permit more intense monitoring and increased patient participation in his/her own care, resulting in increased precision in anticoagulation control and thus fewer events of thromboembolism (strokes) and bleeding. The secondary hypothesis is that PST and HQACM will be comparable in terms of health care utilization and cost.
NCT00245739
The purpose of this study is to provide early access to TMC114 (a protease inhibitor) for HIV-1 infected patients with limited or no treatment options, who have failed multiple antiretroviral (ARV) regimens, and to evaluate the longer-term safety and tolerability of TMC114/r in combination with other antiretrovirals
NCT00808132
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this investigational drug for the treatment of menopausal symptoms while protecting the endometrium (uterine lining) and preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis. Subject participation will last approximately 14.5 months.
NCT00768300
The ARTEMIS-IPF study was conducted to determine if ambrisentan was effective in delaying disease progression and death in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), to evaluate its safety, and to evaluate its effect on development of pulmonary hypertension, quality of life, and dyspnea (shortness of breath) symptoms in this participant population. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive ambrisentan or placebo, respectively. Participation in the study was to be up to 4 years, depending on how long it would take to enroll participants and observe study events. After randomization, visits to the clinic took place every 3 months, and laboratory procedures were performed every month.
NCT01117350
Primary objective: To demonstrate the superiority of insulin glargine over liraglutide in terms of percentage of patients reaching a Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) \< 7% at the end of the comparative period (24 weeks) in Type 2 diabetic patients failing lifestyle management and oral agents Secondary objectives of the comparative period (24 weeks): \>To assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with liraglutide on: * HbA1c level * Percentage of patients whose HbA1c has decreased but remains \>= 7% at the end of the comparative period * Percentage of patients whose HbA1c has increased at the end of the comparative period * Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) * 7-point Plasma Glucose (PG) profiles * Hypoglycemia occurrence * Body weight * Adverse events Objectives of the extension period (24 weeks): \>To assess the effect of insulin glargine in patients not adequately controlled with liraglutide on: * HbA1c level * FPG * 7-point PG profiles * Hypoglycemia occurrence * Body weight * Adverse events
NCT00373529
Clolar (clofarabine injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens. This study will evaluate the efficacy of clofarabine in elderly patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who are unlikely to benefit from treatment with intensive chemotherapy regimens (cytarabine and anthracycline based regimens) used in younger patients with AML.
NCT00317642
Clofarabine (injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute or refractory lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens. There is no recommended standard treatment for relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia in older patients. Cytarabine is the most commonly used drug to treat these patients. This study will determine if there is benefit by combining clofarabine with cytarabine. Patients will be randomized to receive up to 3 cycles of treatment with either placebo in combination with cytarabine or clofarabine in combination with cytarabine. Randomization was stratified by remission status following the first induction regimen (no remission \[i.e., CR1 = refractory\] or remission \<6 months vs CR1 = remission ≥6 months). CR1 is defined as remission after first pre-study induction regimen. The safety and tolerability of clofarabine in combination with cytarabine and cytarabine alone will be monitored throughout the study.
NCT01596920
The primary objective of the present study is to further establish in a randomized controlled trial, the safety and efficacy of weekly Grafix® administration versus control in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The primary endpoint is complete wound closure of the index wound, defined as 100% re-epithelialization as determined by the Investigator. Grafix® is a product regulated for use in the US by the FDA as a Human Cellular and Tissue Based Product (HCT/P) under Title 21 CFR Part 1271.
NCT00868699
This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe for the treatment of patients with bipolar I depression
NCT00196352
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety of ethinyl an extended-regimen oral contraceptive, with ethinyl estradiol supplementation during the usual hormone-free week, for up to an additional three consecutive years.
NCT01313624
The AIR-BX1 study enrolled people with non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis and gram-negative airway infection. Participants received two 28-day courses of either Aztreonam for Inhalation Solution (AZLI) or placebo taken 3 times a day. Each course was followed by a 28-day off-drug period. Following the two blinded courses, all participants received a 28-day course of open-label AZLI then were followed for an additional 56 days.
NCT00386035
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different anti-HIV drug regimens on HIV transmission risk behavior among SMART study participants.
NCT00001102
The purpose of this study is to see how taking certain anti-HIV drugs affects the way the body metabolizes fat. This study will evaluate patients who are enrolled in CPCRA 058 (the FIRST \[Flexible Initial Retrovirus Suppressive Therapies\] study) by looking for changes in cholesterol levels, levels of fat in the blood, and body fat distribution. Patients in the FIRST study receive an anti-HIV drug regimen which contains a protease inhibitor (PI), a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or both. Anti-HIV drug therapy using PIs has become very common treatment for HIV-positive patients. Recently, however, serious side effects involving how the body uses fat are being reported in patients taking PIs. Examples of these side effects are a redistribution of body fat, high cholesterol level, and development of diabetes. However, some of these side effects have also been seen in patients who are not taking PIs. It is important to determine whether or not these side effects are directly related to PI use. In this study, patients on different drug combinations, either with or without a PI, will be compared.
NCT01483586
