NCT00124982
The purpose of this study is to summarize the safety and tolerability of abatacept during 6 months of combined treatment with one or more of the background non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) approved for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in subjects with active RA. Secondary objectives assessed the clinical efficacy of combination treatment, including disease activity, physical function, and quality of life outcomes.
NCT00051467
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TNFerade™ Biologic when administered concurrently with 5-FU and radiation therapy as first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer. TNFerade™ is a replication deficient adenovirus vector containing the gene for TNF-alpha controlled by a chemoradiation inducible promoter. This allows the expression of TNF-alpha to be greatest in the area receiving radiation. TNF-alpha is a cytokine that has been shown to have potent anti-cancer activities but, due to systemic toxicity, could not be delivered at effective doses. TNFerade™ Biologic is a novel way of selective delivery of TNF-alpha to tumor cells. TNFerade™ Biologic will be injected during five weekly injection sessions, concomitant with radiation and 5-FU. TNFerade™ Biologic will be administered by direct intratumoral injection using a percutaneous approach (PTA) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).

NCT00561366
Arimoclomol is a small molecule that upregulates "molecular chaperones" in cells under stress. Arimoclomol extends survival by five weeks when given both pre-symptomatically and at disease onset in a mutant superoxide dismutase (SOD1) transgenic mouse model of ALS. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated to have neuroprotective and neuroregenerative effects in other rat models of nerve damage. Molecular chaperone proteins are critical in the cellular response to stress and protein misfolding. Recent data suggest that the SOD1 mutation responsible for ALS in some patients with familial disease reduces the availability of a variety of molecular chaperones, and thus weakens their ability to respond to cellular stress. Protein misfolding and consequent aggregation may play a role in the pathogenesis of both the familial and sporadic forms of ALS. Therapeutic agents such as arimoclomol that improve cellular chaperone response to protein misfolding may be helpful in ALS.
NCT00906308
This phase 3a study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of MF101 on the frequency of moderate to severe hot flushes in postmenopausal women.
NCT00267280
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.
NCT00208156
Corlux (mifepristone) is a new medication that modulates the body's use of a hormone called cortisol. Under normal conditions, cortisol and other hormones are created by the body in response to physical and emotional stress, triggering a healthy stress response. People who suffer from psychotic major depression may have unusually high levels of cortisol circulating within them or abnormal patterns of cortisol levels, overloading the stress response mechanism and causing symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thoughts or hallucinations. If Corlux can keep the body's cortisol receptors from being overloaded, the stress response system may return to normal function, which may result in improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this study is to allow patients who have already participated in an earlier 8 week study of Corlux versus placebo (an inactive pill) to receive additional courses of treatment with Corlux periodically if a psychotic episode should reappear during a period of one year.
NCT00649792
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and activity of Fampridine-SR when administered for up to 36 additional months in patients who previously participated in the MS-F204 study or until it becomes commercially available, whichever comes first.
NCT01527734
The study design is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose comparison with a open-label, crossover, formulation comparison.
NCT00368030
The purpose of this study is to evaluate subjective sleep efficacy in subjects with insomnia related to major depressive disorder.
NCT00486395
In Canada each year, there are approximately 800 infants born between 28 and 32 weeks gestation. Up to 60% of these infants will require breathing tube placement for Respiratory Distress Syndrome or RDS. RDS is a lung disease of prematurity due to a lack of a compound called surfactant. The breathing tube is placed as a conduit for placing surfactant into the babies' lungs to improve the lung disease. Most babies are then placed on a breathing machine or ventilator. Ventilation is not without harm and can be associated with lung damage, delays in feeding, increased hospital stay and interruption of bonding. An alternative that does not require the presence of a breathing tube is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). We will randomize babies to either ventilation or CPAP to try to minimize the length of time the baby is kept on respiratory support.
NCT00323661
The purpose of this study is to compare the influence of accelerometer-based rate adaptation and Closed Loop Stimulation on cognitive performance and quality of life in pacemaker patients.
NCT00064389

NCT01187459
Background: Crohn's disease (CD), a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the digestive system. CD affects \~112,000 individuals in Canada, of whom 20-25% are diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. The specific cause of CD remains unknown; however, it is hypothesized that CD involves a complex interaction of several factors, including a genetically susceptible host, the intestinal mucosal immune system and microbe population. Several dietary factors have been explored for their potential role in the etiology of CD. However, no consensus on the role of diet has emerged. Recent evidence suggests a plausible link between a lack of Vitamin D and CD. Purpose \& Hypothesis: The investigators primary hypothesis is that a greater proportion of pediatric CD patients will achieve optimal 25OHD concentration (\> 75 nmol/L) on 2000 IU/d than 400 IU/d Vitamin D. Methods: Pediatric Crohn's Disease patients between 8-18 years of age, and have been in remission for at least 4 weeks as indicated by a Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) \<10 will be recruited for a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial where they will receive one of two dosages of vitamin D (10 or 50 ug/day) and will be asked to continue the supplementation for 6 months. Vitamin D levels will be measured in blood at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Dietary vitamin D intake will be estimated using a food frequency and lifestyle questionnaire. Data will be analyzed using multiple regression analysis controlling for baseline values. Expected Results and Conclusions: It is expected that a greater proportion of children receiving the 50 ug/day vitamin D supplement will achieve a blood vitamin level \>75 nmol/L compared to children receiving 10 ug/day. This data will aid policy makers, parents/children and healthcare workers in recommending an appropriate vitamin D dosage for the pediatric crohn's population.
NCT00073840
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of levalbuterol 90 ug (2 actuations, 45 ug each) versus placebo (2 actuations) in the treatment and prevention of bronchoconstriction in adolescent and adult subjects with asthma, with all treatments administered 4 times a day (QID).
NCT00090753
This study assessed the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intravenous (iv) or subcutaneous (sc) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta in chronic kidney disease patients with renal anemia. Eligible patients were those who were receiving stable maintenance therapy with methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta or erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) in Phase II or III clinical studies. They continued to receive methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta or comparator ESAs at the same weekly dose and by the same route of administration (sc or iv) as in the qualifying studies.
