NCT00480532
The purpose of this study is to learn if the study drug, doxycycline, can decrease the amount of unplanned vaginal bleeding that women commonly experience when taking combined oral contraception (COC)- pills with estrogen and progestin - in a continuous fashion - no hormone-free week. The study drug, doxycycline, is an antibiotic used commonly for many conditions (i.e. acne, Chlamydia infections, pneumonia) and can be safely used on a daily basis. Doxycycline has been shown to decrease unplanned vaginal bleeding in progestin-only contraception but has not been studied in combined hormonal contraception.
NCT01708044
To examine the effects of different fixed pramlintide:insulin dose ratios in subjects with type 1 diabetes on postprandial plasma glucose concentrations
NCT02110875
The purpose of this study is to learn more about balance and strength in an elderly population (60 and older). Data will be compared between controls and the age/gender- matched PD participants in study "The Effects of vitamin D on Balance in Parkinson's disease" (OHSU IRB # 6482). Specifically a t-test will be used to compare total work and total power on leg extension and flexion, composite SOT score conditions 1-3 and 4-6, response strength and latency on MCT, and turn duration from the iMOBILITY between the two groups.
NCT01451398
Insulin-naive subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are sub-optimally controlled on either maximum tolerated dose of metformin or maximum tolerated dose of metformin plus one or two other oral anti-diabetic medications will have either Prandial Technosphere® Insulin or Technosphere Powder (placebo) added to their oral antidiabetic drugs.
NCT01904708
Phenylketonuria (PKU), an inherited genetic disorder, can cause irreversible brain damage, declined executive function, and autistic tendencies unless a phenylalanine (Phe) restricted diet is consistently maintained throughout life. Promoting anabolism, the uptake of free amino acids from the extracellular space, is a key component to maintaining plasma phenylalanine concentrations within treatment range among patients with PKU. Exercise promotes muscle protein synthesis and anabolism, but the effect on blood phenylalanine concentrations in patients with PKU has not been reported. Our objective is to assess the impact of an acute bout of moderate intensity exercise on protein oxidation and plasma amino acid concentrations, as a potential adjunctive therapy for patients with PKU. The investigators hypothesize that moderate intensity exercise decreases amino acid oxidation, increases muscle protein synthesis, and promotes tissue uptake of essential amino acids, thereby lowering plasma phenylalanine concentrations in patients with Phenylketonuria.
NCT00308308
To determine the safety and efficacy of inhaled insulin in the treatment of type 1 diabetes
NCT01163032
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a six month double-mask treatment of tasimelteon or placebo in male and female subjects with Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder
NCT00309244
The purpose of this 13 month study (12 month treatment period and 1 month follow-up period) is to determine whether inhaled insulin is safe and effective in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
NCT00966732
Fibromyalgia is a common, costly and debilitating illness which affects mostly women. Fibromyalgia patients report widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, stiffness, and distress. Several consensus statements indicate that optimal care combines medication, exercise, and psychology. Yoga is a popular mind/body discipline which holds promise for reducing fibromyalgia symptoms. The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of an innovative program, Yoga of Awareness, in which yoga poses are complemented by meditation and breathing exercises, presentations on healthy coping, and group discussions. Fifty-six women with fibromyalgia will be recruited and randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive the yoga program right away, and the other group will wait 3 months before receiving the program. Information about fibromyalgia symptoms and functioning will be collected from both groups before and immediately after the first group receives the yoga program. When results from the 2 groups are compared, the investigators expect patients who received the yoga program will have greater gains in fibromyalgia symptoms, physical function and pain coping capacities then those waiting to receive the program. If this study shows the yoga program is effective, the investigators will use this data in 2010 to apply to the National Institutes of Health for a more complete study of its benefits.
NCT00700622
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that TI® Inhalation Powder combined with Lantus® is as effective as Humalog® combined with Lantus® on HbA1c.
NCT01719406
Personal behaviors can influence development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), a condition that can adversely affect the pregnant woman, her developing fetus and future events for both. To reduce GDM risk, we will develop and implement an in-person team and web-based nutrition and exercise program for women, beginning in their first trimester. A scripted, peer-led, 20-week educational program, tailored for pregnant women working in teams (5 women/team), will be developed and implemented among pregnant employees and/or their spouses. Each weekly thirty minute session will focus on achieving 30-minutes of moderate daily physical activity with nutrition targets of five servings of fruits and vegetables, 3 servings of whole grains and lower fat food choices. Diet, exercise and lab assessments will occur before enrollment during the first trimester, each subsequent trimester and 12 weeks after delivery. In addition to exercise and diet survey results, we will assess fasting glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A1C levels, pregnancy weight gain, blood pressure, lipid and lipoprotein levels, pedometer records, weekly accelerometer data, each trimester and at 12 weeks post delivery, as well as gestational birth age, Apgar score, delivery mode and infant birth weight, and weekly health thermometer self-ratings during the assessment period.
NCT01601574
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Weight Watchers program modified for use by people with Type 2 diabetes results in more improvements in blood glucose control relative to a control group receiving standard diabetes counseling.
NCT01430754
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maintenance effect and safety of 20 mg tasimelteon versus placebo in subjects suffering from Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder.
NCT01019694
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate long-term safety and patient acceptability of COMBIVENT RESPIMAT Inhalation Spray as compared to the COMBIVENT Inhalation Aerosol Chlorofluorocarbon-Metered Dose Inhaler (CFC-MDI) and the free combination of ATROVENT Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) and albuterol Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) inhalation aerosols.
NCT00924560

NCT01567163
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of concomitant ramucirumab on the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel in participants with advanced malignant solid tumors. Participants who do not complete both Cycle 1, Day 1, and Cycle 2, Day 1 according to schedule will be replaced for the purpose of analysis; these participants may continue to receive study therapy. No dose reductions, delayed or missed doses are allowed during Cycles 1 and 2.
NCT00055120
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of starting anti-HIV drugs in HIV infected patients who are being treated for opportunistic infections (OIs). This study will follow two patient groups: those who received anti-HIV drugs soon after being diagnosed with an OI and patients with OIs who deferred beginning anti-HIV drugs until after recovering from the OI.
NCT02164370
Acid/base imbalances are not well understood in pre-eclamptics, and better tools are needed to allow a thorough and meaningful evaluation. Disorders of electrolytes and albumin are common findings \[13, 14\], and the impact of such disorders on acid-base homeostasis has increasingly been acknowledged \[4, 15\]. The purpose of this prospective case-control study is to evaluate acid-base status in 100 women with mild or severe pre-eclampsia and 25 healthy controls by applying the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model. We hypothesize that several simultaneous, and possibly offsetting, metabolic acid-base disorders will be identified and quantified, and that these may be useful to guide clinicians in their medical management and indication for delivery. Intermediate and long-term goals are to evaluate the ability of the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model to guide fluid management and predict maternal and neonatal outcomes.
