NCT00178581
Glutamine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid during critical illness. After severe trauma, glutamine supplementation into the gastrointestinal tract may help maintain bowel function. We hypothesize that for the major torso trauma patient, high dose glutamine given enterally during resuscitation from shock and continued during enteral nutrition support is absorbed, available systemically and preserves gut integrity.
NCT00509548
Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is caused by the formation and growth of abnormal blood vessels (angiogenesis) in the retina. The new blood vessels have fragile walls and can leak fluid into the retina. The build-up of fluid (edema) under the macula can distort vision or cause vision loss. TG100801 is a topical (eye drop) therapy that has been shown to inhibit ocular angiogenesis, vascular leak, and inflammation in laboratory studies. The primary purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the ability of topical administration of TG100801 to reduce the amount of fluid in the retina in patients with AMD following 30 days of treatment. An additional objective is to evaluate the safety of TG100801 in patients with AMD.
NCT00000139
To determine whether early treatment (with oral acyclovir) of herpes simplex virus (HSV) ulcerations of the corneal epithelium prevents progression to the blinding complications of stromal keratitis and iridocyclitis. To determine the efficacy of low-dose oral acyclovir in preventing recurrent HSV eye infection in patients with previous episodes of herpetic eye disease. To determine the role of external factors (such as ultraviolet light or corneal trauma) and behavioral factors (such as life stress) on the induction of ocular recurrences of HSV eye infections and disease.
