NCT01061671
To determine the effect of daily administration of 40 mgms simvastatin taken for at least 12 months (range 12-36 months) on the frequency of exacerbations of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) in patients with moderate to severe COPD who are prone to exacerbations and do not have other indications for statin treatment.
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.
NCT02627352
The purpose of this study is to investigate the surgical outcomes of the micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (mTSCPC) in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma; analyze intraocular pressure lowering effect; and correlate related treatment parameters pending enrollment of sufficient numbers of dark pigmented versus light pigmented eyes.
NCT00004221
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have undergone surgery for stage III ovarian cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor 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.
NCT00834509
The purpose of the study is to: * recruit subjects with untreated sleep apnea; assess overnight changes in their blood and urine chemicals * review the overnight changes in blood and urine chemicals after they have been treated for sleep apnea * assess the overnight changes in blood and urine chemicals in healthy individuals with no sleep problems * compare the amount of fat in the belly using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner on all subjects
NCT00874497
Phase 2a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the pharmacodynamics, efficacy, and safety of tetomilast in patients with emphysema.
NCT01726296
This clinical trial studies adherence to survivorship care guidelines in health care providers for non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer survivor care. The completion of an educational intervention by health care providers may increase compliance and adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for survivorship care.
NCT01854645
The overall objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with PT003 (GFF MDI), PT005 (FF MDI), PT001 (GP MDI), and open-label tiotropium bromide inhalation powder compared with each other and Placebo MDI over 24 weeks in subjects with moderate to very severe COPD.
NCT02262845
The purpose of this study is to document clinical utility and distribution of indications for short term pancreatic stenting, and stent type preference by indication at tertiary referral centers with expertise in pancreatic endotherapy.
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.
NCT00358358
This study will last for approximately 14 weeks and will involve 5 visits. The study is being carried out to look at different ways of measuring the effect of drug treatment on COPD. COPD is a respiratory disease which can affect your breathing and daily life. Symptoms of COPD can include breathlessness, cough, and wheeze. COPD varies enormously from patient to patient. The effects of drug treatment are usually measured by conducting lung function tests (breathing tests) using a machine called a spirometer but this does not always provide a complete picture of how well your COPD is responding. In this study we therefore want to look at new and more sensitive ways of measuring COPD. The results of this research will help in the assessment of new drugs for COPD in the future.
NCT01976299
The Osprey Medical AVERT System is indicated to reduce contrast media (CM) exposure to the kidneys during percutaneous coronary procedures thereby reducing the risk of contrast induced nephropathy (CIN).
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.
NCT01349803
This study is primarily a safety study. The primary and secondary endpoints are based on 24-hour Holter monitor assessments obtained on Day 14 relative to baseline.
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.
NCT00642616
Examine the effects of TI in combination with an anti-diabetic regimen including inhaled insulin versus anti-diabetic treatment without inhaled insulin on lung function \& pulmonary safety
NCT01813721
This is a prospective observational study investigating how physicians assess the risk of febrile neutropenia (FN) developing in patients who will receive chemotherapy. Approximately 150-200 investigators will take part in about 100 sites in Europe, Canada and Australia. Approximately 1000 subjects will be studied, all of whom will have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or breast cancer and will be due to receive one of the specific chemotherapy regimens of interest. Investigators' approach to FN risk assessment will be studied using lists of possible risk factors they may consider during their assessment. Investigators will be asked to select and rank the factors they consider the most important when assessing the overall FN risk of a subject and when making the decision whether to treat with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) primary prophylaxis (PP). They will be asked to make these selections based initially on their own routine clinical practise and subsequently relating specifically to each subject recruited. This is a non-interventional study that involves no procedures outside normal care for the subjects; all data collection will be completed prior to chemotherapy administration.
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.
