This study is a prospective clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two different doses of Asacol for the treatment of moderately active ulcerative colitis. In addition, a new tablet formulation will be evaluated at one of the two doses.
NCT01448135
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerance profile of the enteral feeding product VITAL AF (a semi-elemental, high protein, and high omega-3 fish oil) when compared to Osmolite 1.2, a standard feeding product in critically ill and/or post surgical patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). If enough patients are recruited, inferences about impact on outcomes may also be drawn.
NCT01678963
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical ophthalmic squalamine lactate eye drops in treating patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), a degenerative retinal eye disease that causes a progressive, irreversible, severe loss of central vision.
NCT00991341
The RECESS study will compare the effects of transfusing red blood cell units stored \<= 10 days vs. red blood cell units stored \>= 21 days, in patients who are undergoing complex cardiac surgery and are likely to need a red blood cell transfusion. The primary hypothesis is that there is a clinically important difference between the effects of shorter-storage red cell units and longer-storage red cell units on clinical outcomes and mortality risk.
NCT00389181
The purpose of this study is to determine if medical management is better than invasive therapy for improving the long-term outcome of patients with unruptured brain arteriovenous malformations.
NCT01010958
For patients initially presenting with localized sarcoma the standard of care is surgery followed by with radiation therapy (if feasible). Subsequent or adjuvant cytotoxic based chemotherapy even for aggressive sarcoma histopathologies (as commonly done for colorectal cancer or breast cancer) is controversial since over 20 individual adjuvant randomized clinical trials have not been able to consistently demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in overall survival. Maturation or differentiation therapy provides an opportunity to fundamentally change the biology of the underlying cancer (and thus its overall prognosis) by promoting cellular maturation within that cancer. A change from a poorly 'differentiated/high grade' tumor to a well 'differentiated/low grade' tumor is attainable and can change an individual's median time of survival from months to decades. The investigators have significant preclinical data that differentiation therapy using a group of drugs referred to as histone deacetylase inhibitors (such as Valproate, also a commonly used and safe anti seizure medication) is feasible for sarcomas. This approach has not been clinically addressed in solid tumors. Since adjuvant therapy is controversial for sarcomas, and building on the investigators' preclinical data, adjuvant based differentiation therapy using valproate would be predicted to be both safe and potentially extremely beneficial in terms of a) increasing the time to disease recurrence, b) improving the histology upon recurrence; and c) improving overall survival in patients with sarcomas. Patients with high grade sarcomas will receive Valproate in the adjuvant setting daily and clinically/radiologically followed until recurrence. Relapse free survival, time to local failure, time to distant failure, overall survival, and comparative histopathology of primary and recurrence will be assessed.
NCT02300116
The study is used to verify the accuracy and repeatability of Smart Vision Labs Refractor.
NCT01365247
This treatment intervention trial is designed for men and women with substance dependence and comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions (two behavioral treatments \[Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders Using Prolonged Exposure and Relapse Prevention Therapy\] and an active monitoring control group) and will be evaluated at baseline and four follow-up points (post-treatment, 1-month, 2- month and 3-month post-treatment).
NCT01273727
An epiretinal membrane is scar tissue on the retina that can cause blurring and distortion of vision and lead to swelling, or macular edema. Despite surgery to remove the scar tissue(membrane peeling), residual swelling of the retina may continue to interfere with vision. In this study the investigators will inject an implantable steroid device into the back, fluid-filled portion of the eye. Steroids have been found to decrease the swelling in the retina. Ozurdex™ is an implantable steroid. Once implanted, Ozurdex™ is slowly dissolved by the vitreous gel that fills the eye, releasing the steroid. The steroid drug delivery system in this study, known as Ozurdex™ has been FDA-approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for decreasing swelling due to another condition in the eye. This study will help to find out whether or not this device Ozurdex™ is also effective for reducing the swelling of the retina in patients who have already had surgery to remove scar tissue on the retina.
NCT01855880
This is a Phase IIa, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose, multi-center study of AbGn-168H in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.The objectives of this study is to investigate efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple doses of AbGn-168H administered intravenously to patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
NCT00345176
Oral supplementation with the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) formulation (antioxidant vitamins C and E, beta carotene, and zinc) has been shown to reduce the risk of progression to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Observational data suggest that increased dietary intake of lutein + zeaxanthin (carotenoids), omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (docosahexaenoic acid \[DHA\] + eicosapentaenoic acid \[EPA\]), or both might further reduce this risk. AREDS2 was designed to test whether adding lutein + zeaxanthin, DHA + EPA, or lutein + zeaxanthin and DHA + EPA to the AREDS formulation might further reduce the risk of progression to advanced AMD. A secondary goal was to test the effects of eliminating beta carotene and reducing zinc dose in the AREDS formulation.
NCT01810640
This study's objective is to obtain preliminary data to test the hypotheses that percutaneous liver biopsy in brain death donors is safe and provides reliable histological information. Furthermore, that information when disseminated fully and widely many hours before organ recovery would not only decrease economic costs of wasteful recovery of livers that are not ultimately transplanted but also increase transplantation and decrease cold ischemia times of recovered livers.
NCT01003730
This research is being done to determine if there is a way the investigators can improve the techniques that they use to assist patients with their breathing during surgery. The majority of surgeries require patients to concurrently undergo general anesthesia. This usually includes a breathing tube and a machine that breathes for the patient during the duration of the surgery. The doctors would like to investigate the effects of this type of anesthesia to healthy adult patients and whether they can improve the way they give general anesthesia to patients. The investigators plan to ask approximately 200 patients to participate. If the patients decide to participate in the study,some additions will be made to the standard anesthetic care they receive. The patients will additionally be monitored for adequate oxygenation in their blood as well as level of inflammation in their blood and lungs. The patients' breathing tube will be bathed with warm normal saline and suctioned twice during the operation. When these procedures are done the patients will be asleep and not be aware of what is happening.
NCT01406938
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of two different doses and two different dose regimens of subcutaneous secukinumab in patients that have moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis.
NCT01532336
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy and safety of NVC-422 compared to vehicle for adenoviral conjunctivitis. Adults and children one year of age and older with diagnosis of adenoviral conjunctivitis in at least one eye based upon a positive adenovirus test result using the Aden-Detactor Plus kit (Rapid Pathogen Screening, Inc). Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either NVC-422 or Vehicle.
NCT00927641
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the multiple-dose efficacy and safety of HKT-500 for the treatment of ankle sprain.
NCT00005774
Mechanical ventilation (MV) of preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is associated with lung injury and nosocomial infection. Moderately premature infants with mild respiratory distress do not routinely receive artificial surfactant early in their course of treatment. This multi-center, randomized trial tested whether early surfactant therapy and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in infants 1,250-2,000g with RDS reduced mechanical ventilation usage without added complications. Infants with mild to moderate respiratory distress syndrome were enrolled in the trial and given either early administration of surfactant followed by extubation within 30 minutes and the use of CPAP, or standard practice (surfactant according to current center practice, only after initiation of mechanical ventilation), to see whether the experimental method would reduce the need for subsequent mechanical ventilation.
NCT01093222
This phase II trial is studying how well giving sorafenib tosylate together with erlotinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic gallbladder cancer or cholangiocarcinoma. Sorafenib tosylate and erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
NCT00938860
