NCT00118742
This two-arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of a long-term calcineurin inhibitor-free maintenance regimen with CellCept and sirolimus in recipients of an orthotropic liver transplant. Patients will be randomized to receive either CellCept 1-1.5 g twice daily (BID) + tacrolimus + cyclosporine, or CellCept 1-1.5 g BID + sirolimus. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 to 2 years, and the target sample size is 100 to 500 individuals.
NCT01170611
This clinical investigation is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized trial. The primary objective concerns the safety and effectiveness of the AAIsafeR mode with the preventive algorithms.
NCT00097968
Everolimus is an immunosuppressive drug that is being studied for preventing acute rejection that can happen after heart transplantation. It is usually used in combination with other immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in kidney function after beginning everolimus, while determining the most effective Neoral® (cyclosporine) dose to take with everolimus, in adult cardiac transplant patients who have had their transplanted heart for at least 1 year and who have cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
NCT00605176
The purpose of this study is to determine whether imiquimod creams are effective in treating Actinic Keratoses when applied to the face or balding scalp. Actinic keratosis (AK) is a skin condition that shows up on skin routinely exposed to the sun, such as the face, scalp, shoulders, chest, back, arms, and hands. The active ingredient contained in the study cream for this study is the same as that of the approved product Aldara, which has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of AKs.
NCT00295282
This is a Phase I dose-escalation study of MDX-1100. patients with ulcerative colitis will be enrolled into one of four dose cohorts, to receive of MDX-1100 at 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 or 10mg/kg. Three to six patients will be enrolled at each dose level, starting at the lowest dose level, for a maximum of 24 patients to be enrolled into the study. The study is designed to establish the safety and tolerability of single doses of MDX-1100 administered in dose-escalating cohorts to patients with ulcerative colitis. Other study objectives include characterizing a pharmacokinetic profile and pharmacodynamic effects of MDX-1100 and determination of immunogenic response to MDX-1100.
NCT00401050
The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes of combined chiropractic care in anterior knee pain patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
NCT00379093
Older persons who drink can be vulnerable to negative consequences of drinking. This trial aims to prevent harm from alcohol use in older adults through a program of screening and brief advice followed up with several health education phone calls.
NCT00536016
The purpose of this study is to determine the way and rate that the study medication, JSM6427 a potent, highly specific integrin α5β1-antagonist is absorbed, broken-down and eliminated from the body when it is given as a single dosage strength by injection into the eye. Repeated dosages will also be given to determine the highest safe dose.
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.
NCT00473928
The objective of this study is to provide initial safety and tolerability information of intravitreal POT-4 for treatment of patients with AMD
NCT00835952
Histopathological study of abdominal fat excised from subjects undergoing abdominoplasty
NCT00093938
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of cranberry juice that is most effective in preventing a condition in pregnant women that often leads to urinary tract infections (UTIs).
NCT00580879
The purpose of this study is to see if fetal head circumference can be used as a predictor for who will experience a sphincter laceration while delivering.
NCT00907803
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of two clinical doses of the anti-orthopoxvirus drug, ST-246, administered as a single daily oral dose for 14 days to healthy, fed volunteers. The results of this trial determine which dose will be used in expanded pivotal safety trials.
NCT00099528
The purpose of this study is to gain initial safety and efficacy data on the experimental agent REN-1654 in patients with painful post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).
NCT00813826
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SLC022 in treating pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) in recently diagnosed patients.
NCT01113606
The aims of the Skin Product Assessment Research study were to (1) develop an infrastructure and process for industry-sponsored, Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation (PSEF) research in facial aesthetic surgery and (2) test the research process by comparing outcomes of the Obagi Nu-Derm System (ODNS) and conventional therapy as treatment adjuncts in ablative facial resurfacing.
NCT00716404
This is a prospective, observational, multi-center study with consecutive enrollment. Up to 1,000 patients will be enrolled. The objective of this post-marketing surveillance study is to collect clinical usage patterns of the Benephit Infusion Systems. As a result, FlowMedica will be able to: 1. Better understand and quantify usage patterns including patient characteristics, adjunctive procedures, and infusion agents. 2. Collect user-interface information and overall customer satisfaction. 3. Monitor post-marketing device performance.
NCT00351559
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a leukocyte gene expression profiling method in the monitoring of asymptomatic heart transplant patients for acute rejection.
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.
