NCT00259909
The aim of the study is to develop a new patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire measuring the impact of an acute exacerbation on daily lives of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This questionnaire will aim to detect an acute exacerbation and resolution of exacerbation from the patient's perspective. At a later stage of development, this questionnaire will be able to measure the effect of anti bacterials in the treatment of acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD). This study will evaluate the factor structure, validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the GSK questionnaire in subjects who experience acute exacerbations of their COPD.
NCT02423512
Vedolizumab is a new medication being used for the treatment of Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. It works by blocking specific white blood cells (alpha 4-beta7 lymphocytes) from migrating to areas of inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Previous studies have shown that patients who have previous exposure to another type of medication for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis (anti-TNF medications) do not respond to vedolizumab as well as those who have never been exposed. This study will investigate biologic markers in the blood and tissue the help identify possible reasons for this difference.
NCT02042443
This randomized phase II trial studies how well trametinib or combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with refractory or advanced biliary or gallbladder cancer or that cannot be removed by surgery. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fluorouracil, leucovorin calcium, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving trametinib is more effective than combination chemotherapy in treating patients with biliary or gallbladder cancer.
NCT02494024
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability (maximum tolerated dose (MTD) within the specified dosing range) of single intravenous (IV) infusion of C2N-8E12 in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
NCT01537549
Studies have shown that alpha-lipoic acid and L-acetyl carnitine may have some neuroprotective activities and it is hoped that they could be helpful for people with neurodegenerative illnesses such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). The purpose of this study is to find out whether the nutritional supplement alpha-lipoic acid/L-acetyl carnitine is safe and well-tolerated in individuals with PSP when given daily, and whether it affects their well-being, brain scan measurements and blood tests that measure the energy metabolism in cells.
NCT01572792
The purpose of this Phase III study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of two fixed-dose combinations of inhaled aclidinium bromide/formoterol fumarate, aclidinium bromide, formoterol fumarate and placebo in patients with moderate to severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Long-term efficacy, pharmacoeconomic and health-related quality of life assessments will also be evaluated. This extension study will include a 28 week treatment period, followed by a four week follow up visit. All patients will remain in the same treatment group as for the lead-in study and continue on one of the four treatment arms or placebo.
NCT02546700
Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial of lebrikizumab in participants with COPD and a history of exacerbations who are treated with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and at least one long-acting bronchodilator inhaler medication. This study will be conducted to assess the safety, efficacy, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures.
NCT01965158
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of naldemedine in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adults with non-malignant chronic pain who are not using laxatives.
NCT00360971
RATIONALE: Growth factors, such as palifermin, may lessen the severity of mucositis, or mouth sores, in patients receiving radiation therapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. It is not yet known whether palifermin is more effective than a placebo in lessening mucositis in patients receiving radiation therapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying palifermin to see how well it works compared to a placebo in lessening oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiation therapy and chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancer.
NCT00984308
Sleep apnea is common among Veterans with cerebrovascular disease (stroke or transient ischemic attack \[TIA\]), leads to hypertension, and is associated with recurrent stroke and death. Although continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) safely treats sleep apnea, few Veterans with cerebrovascular disease are diagnosed with sleep apnea or offered treatment.
NCT00706914
This exploratory study will compare the efficacy of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of aclidinium bromide and formoterol fumarate once daily in the morning and placebo once in the evening vs. the FDC once daily in the morning and formoterol fumarate once in the evening vs. formoterol fumarate twice daily. The study will assess pulmonary function and symptoms in patients with moderate to severe COPD.
NCT01461473
STAGE I of the COMET study was to develop an Electronic Network Informatics Infrastructure that prospectively enabled access to and the sharing of clinical and research data. STAGE II: This was a Comparative Effectiveness Trial (CET) evaluating positive airway pressure (PAP) vs. oral appliance (OA) therapy in improving hypertension and abnormalities in cardiovascular function in overweight/obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Data collected during the STAGE II study was incorporated in Part 3 of the STAGE I study. STAGE III of the COMET study was completion of data analysis and preparation of the electronic network informatics infrastructure for use beyond the four Clinical Centers to interested CTSA institutions. We also explored expanding ontologies, and the use of federated database methodology.
NCT01124422
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that, when added to tiotropium (TIO), fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination (FSC) DISKUS 250/50 significantly increases exercise endurance time (EET) in the endurance shuttle walk test (ESWT), compared to TIO alone. Male and female subjects at least 40 years of age with a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are eligible. Subjects will be screened and consented at or during a 6-week (wk) period prior to visit (V)1. The 4-wk run-in period begins immediately after V1, when subjects receive open-label TIO plus as-needed relief inhaler (identical formulations called albuterol in the US and salbutamol in Canada). At V2, subjects will perform an incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) to establish their maximal walk response. The first ESWT will occur at V3. Subjects must demonstrate an EET of ≤20 min that is reproducible (EET from V3 and V4 varying by ≤2 min). Eligible subjects are then randomized at V5 to either FSC 250/50mcg DISKUS twice daily plus open label TIO 18 mcg daily, or placebo DISKUS twice daily plus open label TIO 18 mcg daily for the 4-wk treatment period. The last study visit is V6. The primary efficacy measure is the difference between the EET at V6 (wk-8) vs. V4 (wk-3; the last ESWT done before randomized study drug is given). Secondary efficacy measures include V6 vs. V4 comparisons in exercise dyspnea scale (EDS), exercise inspiratory capacity (EIC) and cardio-respiratory measurements (CRM), and V6 vs. V5 comparisons in dyspnea related to activities of daily living (baseline dyspnea index and transition dyspnea index interviewer-administered \[BDI-TDI\]) and quality of life (Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire Self-administered Standardized \[CRQ-SAS\]). The safety measure will be an assessment of adverse events. We will also attempt to validate prospectively the minimal clinically-important difference (MCID) for a change in the EET through correlation with dyspnea and quality of life results.
NCT01156142
RATIONALE: Doxepin hydrochloride may be an effective treatment for oral mucositis pain in patients undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying doxepin hydrochloride to see how well it works compared to placebo in treating oral mucositis pain in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy.
NCT00386516
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether the combination of the established chemotherapeutic agent 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) and the large carbohydrate molecule GM-CT-01 is beneficial in treating advanced gall bladder and bile duct cancer.
NCT01221311
The current standard of care for benign bile duct strictures involves placement of multiple plastic stents under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance to progressively dilate or stretch it open. This approach necessitates multiple procedures which may extend over one year before the stricture is adequately dilated. The investigators propose a study comparing the standard approach of plastic stenting with the use of newer, fully coated metallic stents which are self-expandable, thereby permitting successful dilation of benign bile duct strictures with fewer procedures.
NCT02164539
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dose-response of 4 doses of umeclidinium bromide in combination with fluticasone furoate compared with fluticasone furoate monotherapy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease participants with an asthmatic component. The fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide treatments will also be compared to the once-daily inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta agonist combination fluticasone furoate/vilanterol.
NCT01323634
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the 24-hour spirometry effect (FEV1) of FF/VI 100/25mcg once daily compared with Fluticasone Propionate/Salmeterol 250/50mcg twice daily over a 12-week treatment period in subjects with COPD.
NCT01085045
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, after 1 week of dosing, the efficacy and safety of PT003 compared with its individual components (PT001 and PT005), placebo and two active comparators to demonstrate superiority of the combination to its components, and to assess the relative contribution of the components compared with placebo, in patients with moderate to very severe COPD.
NCT02152605
This study is a 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study. The purpose of this study is to replicate the therapeutic benefit of UMEC/VI 62.5/25 microgram (mcg) on health-related quality of life as reflected by St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) scores and symptoms as reflected by rescue medication use observed in the 6 month placebo controlled study (DB2113373). Lung function will be assessed as it provides an objective measure to support the subjective patient reported outcomes of SGRQ and rescue medication use. The study is intended to provide additional evidence to support the use of UMEC/VI for the maintenance treatment of COPD Approximately 496 subjects will be randomized from approximately 62 centers in order to ensure 422 subjects complete 12 weeks of treatment. Eligible subjects will be randomized to UMEC/VI 62.5/25mcg or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. All treatments will be administered once-daily in the morning via a Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI). There will be a total of 5 clinic visits. The total duration of study participation will be approximately 15 weeks. All subjects will be provided with albuterol/salbutamol to use as needed for the relief of COPD symptoms throughout the run-in and double-blind treatment periods.
