NCT00229710
This is a 140-week open-label, multi-center long-term extension study from GALLANT 9 to monitor the safety and tolerability of oral tesaglitazar 0.5 mg and insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes during up to 140 weeks of treatment. The total duration, including treatment and follow-up, is 143 weeks.
NCT00928057
Anxiety about needles is a commonly expressed concern by diabetics about beginning insulin therapy. A shorter, thinner pen needle that delivers insulin with the safety and efficacy profile of currently marketed pen needles may appeal to many diabetic patients as the new needle may be perceived as less intimidating and more comfortable. Currently marketed pen needles range in length from 5 to 12.7 millimeters (mm). The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the investigational 4mm x 32 Gauge(G) pen needle manufactured by Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) provides equivalent glucose control (as measured by fructosamine levels) as the currently marketed BD 5mm x 31 G and BD 8mm x 31 G pen needles (PN)in diabetic subjects with varying insulin dosage regimens.
NCT00429091
A Dose-Ranging Study of the Efficacy of ABT-894 in Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
NCT00622518
The purpose of this study is to determine if a commercially available homeopathic ear drop preparation is effective in reducing symptoms in children 6 months - 11 years old with acute otitis media. A total of 120 study patients with otitis media will be randomized to receive homeopathic ear drops, or no ear drops, in addition to receiving standard care. It is postulated that children using the ear drops will have more rapid resolution of symptoms and need fewer antibiotics than those randomized to not receive the ear drops.
NCT00313885
Fibromyalgics frequently report sleep disturbances, in particular poor and unrefreshing sleep. Additionally, studies have reported that sleep problems, pain and mood disturbances are associated in patients with fibromyalgia. By improving the quality of sleep, complaints of poor and unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, pain, which are among the main components of this chronic pain disorder may be improved.
NCT00470561
RATIONALE: Aspirin may be effective in reducing breast density in healthy postmenopausal women with a moderate or high level of breast density. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the effect of aspirin on mammogram density compared with a placebo in healthy postmenopausal women with a moderate or high level of breast density.
NCT00362908
The metabolic syndrome consists of five concurrent conditions which increase risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Persons with the metabolic syndrome usually have high triglyceride and low HDL levels and are overweight. Low fat, high carbohydrate diets may not provide the same cholesterol-lowering benefits to obese individuals as they do to non-obese individuals. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a low fat, high carbohydrate diet versus a moderate fat, moderate carbohydrate diet on the heart, blood vessels, and cholesterol levels in individuals with metabolic syndrome.
NCT01227070
This study is a longitudinal single-center pilot study designed to describe changes in lung function and levels of noninvasive biomarkers of airway inflammation in children ages 6-18 years over two months following hospitalization for an acute exacerbation of asthma. Forty children ages 6-18 years with asthma who are admitted to Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center (GCRC) for an asthma exacerbation will be enrolled and complete an initial study visit prior to hospital discharge. Children with asthma will be recruited from the inpatient medical unit. During their initial visit subjects will undergo a clinical assessment and perform spirometry to measure lung function. In addition, exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) concentration will be measured and a sample of exhaled breath condensate (eBC) will be collected during 20 minutes of tidal breathing. Breath condensate will be analyzed to determine the concentration of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT), an important mediator of airway inflammation in asthma. Subjects with asthma will return to the GCRC pediatric satellite at Seattle Children's Hospital for follow-up study visits at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks following hospital discharge. During follow-up visits subjects will complete a questionnaire regarding symptoms and medication use since the most recent study visit, will perform spirometry, and have eNO concentration measured and breath condensate collected for CysLT analysis. The aims of this observational study are to: 1. Assess the association of levels of exhaled nitric oxide and cysteinyl leukotrienes in breath condensate with measures of airflow obstruction (FEV1) and asthma symptoms during, and at one, two, and four weeks following hospital discharge for asthma exacerbation. 2. Compare levels of exhaled nitric oxide and cysteinyl leukotrienes in breath condensate from children ages 6-18 years hospitalized for status asthmaticus to levels from age-matched healthy control subjects without asthma.
NCT00280371
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the investigational drug in comparison with a placebo.
NCT00294645
The purpose of the study is to compare remote pacemaker follow-up to current standard of care follow-up. The study will compare the rate of first diagnosis of clinically actionable events between patients who utilize the Medtronic Carelink® Network (Remote arm) versus patients who are followed via routine office visits augmented by transtelephonic monitoring (TTM)(Control arm).
NCT00226330
This is a parallel-group, multi-center, long-term extension study from the GALLANT 6 study to monitor the safety and tolerability of oral tesaglitazar compared with pioglitazone in patients with type 2 diabetes for up to 104 weeks of treatment. The total duration, including treatment and follow-up, is 107 weeks.
NCT00800800
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of rosuvastatin compared to usual care in patients diagnosed with aortic valvular stenosis. Patients must have a diagnosis of mild to moderate aortic stenosis (AS) and no clinical indication for the use of cholesterol lowering agents. A multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, with a two year recruitment period, and a treatment duration of a minimum of 3 years from the time of the last patient randomized to a maximum of 5 years.
NCT00214565
This is a 24-week randomized, double-blind, multi-center, active-controlled (pioglitazone) study of tesaglitazar (0.5 mg and 1 mg) in patients with type 2 diabetes, not adequately controlled on diet and lifestyle advice alone during the run-in period. The study comprises a 3-week enrollment period, 6 week placebo single blind run in period followed by a 24-week double blind treatment period and a 3-week follow-up period.
NCT00715637
Amonafide is a DNA intercalating agent and inhibitor of topoisomerase II that has been extensively studied in patients with malignant solid tumors. Amonafide has also been studied in patients with AML. The purpose of this study is to assess the relative efficacy and safety of amonafide in combination with cytarabine compared to daunorubicin with cytarabine in subjects with documented secondary AML.
NCT01235000
Each winter, viruses belonging to two kinds of influenza A ("A/H1N1" \& "A/H3N2") and two kinds of influenza B ("B/Yamagata" \& "B/Victoria") can cause illness. The yearly influenza vaccine is designed to protect against both kinds of influenza A but only one or the other kind of influenza B. Current recommendations in Canada are that if an eligible child less than nine years of age has received two doses of influenza vaccine before, then that child only requires a single dose of influenza vaccine in subsequent years of immunization. In a previous study conducted in early 2010 we measured the antibody response to influenza B in children who had previously received two doses of a B/Yamagata kind of virus contained in the 2008-09 influenza vaccine and just one dose of the B/Victoria kind of virus contained in the 2009-10 recommended vaccine. The purpose of this follow-up study is to see if the protection (antibodies in the blood) provided against the influenza B/Victoria kind of virus that was in the 2009-10 vaccine can be improved with another (second) dose of the same B/Victoria kind of virus included in the 2010-11 vaccine. Since influenza B is an illness especially of children, understanding how to best protect children against both kinds of influenza B is important.
NCT00407251
