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.
NCT00847639
This is a multi-institution, non-randomized, open label, Phase IIa prospective trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of maintenance lenalidomide after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT). Lenalidomide maintenance therapy will start between day 60 and 90 after allogeneic HCT at a starting dose of 10mg PO once daily. Dose escalation and de-escalation will be performed depending on tolerability of lenalidomide. Dose range is 5mg every other day to 5 - 25 mg given daily on days 1-21 of a 28-day cycle for 12 cycles maximum or maximum of 12 months from first dose of study drug. Patients will be followed until 28 days from completing the 12th planned cycle of lenalidomide maintenance or 12 months from first dose of study drug, which ever comes first, (14 to 15 months after receiving the allograft) or discontinuation of study drug.
NCT01477034
Chronic, low-grade adipose tissue inflammation is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The cause of adipose tissue inflammation has remained largely unclear. We hypothesize that vitamin D deficiency predisposes individuals to the development of adipose tissue inflammation, and that treatment of vitamin D deficient subjects with high dose vitamin D will reduce adipose tissue inflammation.
NCT00920140
MEK111759 is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II, open-label study to determine the recommended dose and regimen for the orally administered MEK inhibitor GSK1120212 in subjects with relapsed or refractory leukemias. The recommended dose and regimen will be selected based on the safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles. This study will identify the maximum tolerated and recommended Phase II doses using a dose-escalation procedure. Dose escalations will continue based on predefined parameters until a maximum tolerated dose is established. In Phase II, the clinical efficacy of GSK1120212 in subjects with relapsed or refractory leukaemias (AML, MDS or CMML) will be determined.
NCT01497366
This study was to assess the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir (GS-7977; PSI-7977) in combination with ribavirin (RBV) administered for 12 weeks compared with pegylated interferon (PEG)/RBV administered for 24 weeks in treatment-naive patients with Hepatitis C (HCV) genotype 2 or 3. Efficacy was assessed by the rate of sustained viral response (SVR) 12 weeks after the discontinuation of therapy (SVR12). This was a non-inferiority study, and if non-inferiority was demonstrated, the study was then allowed to test for superiority.
NCT01215292
The purpose of this research study is to determine how much male hormone, testosterone, is necessary to maintain sperm production in the testis. This knowledge will be used to help in the development of a safe male hormonal contraception. Specific Aims: 1. to determine if ketoconazole plus acyline will suppress intratesticular testosterone(ITT) to a greater degree than acyline alone. 2. to determine if dutasteride plus acyline will suppress intratesticular dihydrotestosterone (IT-DHT) to a greater degree than acyline alone. 3. to determine if anastrazole plus acyline will suppress intratesticular estradiol(IT-E2) to a greater degree than acyline alone.
NCT00003141
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating infants with malignant brain or spinal cord tumors.
NCT01594840

NCT01058980
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder, impairs quality of life and increases stroke risk and mortality. Despite advances in medical treatment, AF remains uncontrolled in many patients. In many patients, AF is initiated by abnormal electrical impulses from the pulmonary veins. A catheter ablation procedure called pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has therefore been developed, using heat to isolate the PV foci from the heart. PVI is very effective, but must be repeated in up to 50% of cases because the foci isolation is not permanent after initial PVI. The intravenous administration of a drug called adenosine during the PVI procedure can unmask residual conduction that would otherwise remain unnoticed, so-called "dormant conduction". In our experience, additional ablation guided by adenosine reduces AF recurrence and the need for a repeat PVI procedure. However, the adenosine-guided approach has not yet been proven as standard therapy. The present study, to be conducted at 15 clinical centres in Canada, Europe and Australia is therefore intended to evaluate the efficacy of adenosine-guided ablation to prevent AF recurrence. Five hundred twenty-six patients will be included in the study, which should be completed within 2 years. In all patients, the presence of dormant conduction will be tested with adenosine during PVI. If dormant conduction is observed, additional ablation will be performed in half of these patients selected randomly. If there is no dormant conduction, randomly selected patients will be followed in a registry. If the adenosine-guided approach is demonstrated to improve the success rate of PVI procedures, it should become the standard approach for a "permanent cure" of AF, and therefore benefit patients by reducing arrhythmia recurrence, hospitalizations and the need for repeat interventions.
NCT01309087
The primary objective of this study is to substantiate prediction accuracy(with a tighter 95% confidence interval compared to current diagnostic modalities), of a lung cancer biomarker for risk stratification of patients into high and low risk categories to aid in clinical evaluation of the patient.
NCT00996658
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Linagliptin (5 mg once daily) compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as add on therapy to metformin in combination with pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control.
NCT00033332
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining dexamethasone and thalidomide may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known whether dexamethasone is more effective with or without thalidomide in treating multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of dexamethasone with or without thalidomide in treating patients who have multiple myeloma.
