NCT00387088
The objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term (one year) efficacy and safety of tiotropium delivered by the Respimat inhaler in patients with COPD. Specifically, the study will examine the effect of treatment on COPD exacerbations.
NCT01127581
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Misoprostol Vaginal Insert (MVI) 200 microgram (mcg) can decrease the time to vaginal delivery compared to the Dinoprostone Vaginal Insert (DVI) 10 milligram (mg) in pregnant women requiring cervical ripening and induction of labor.
NCT00237510
This study is based on the hypothesis that terazosin, a blocker of alpha-1 receptors, will be effective in reducing excessive sweating caused by antidepressant treatment, and will have minimal adverse effects.
NCT01645319
The primary objectives of the study are: 1. To compare the proportion of patients who achieve a successful response to treatment (reduction in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) of \>15%) between patients treated with laser surgery (including argon laser trabeculectomy, and selective laser trabeculoplasty) with patients receiving additional medications, at 1-year post-treatment initiation. 2. To compare the proportion of patients who achieve a successful response to treatment (reduction in IOP of \>15%) between patients treated with other procedures (including incisional surgery, drainage device procedures, and other glaucoma procedures) with patients receiving additional medications, at 1-year-post-treatment initiation. The study is a prospective, observational cohort study and will not provide or recommend any treatment. Patients who have failed initial medical therapy with two glaucoma medications will be identified and enrolled at the time of scheduling of a laser surgery procedure or other procedure such as incisional surgery or drainage device, or initiation of an additional course of therapy with medication as determined by their physician. This inception cohort of new initiators of laser surgical treatment, other procedures, or additional medical therapy will be followed for 12 months. All decisions regarding treatment are solely at the discretion of the physician in accordance with their usual practice. Enrollment is expected to begin in February 2011 and continue through 12 months of follow-up after enrollment targets have been reached.
NCT01481077
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of plug placement on the efficacy, safety and duration of effect of the L-PPDS (latanoprost punctal plug delivery system).
NCT00503646
RATIONALE: Participating in a therapy program may enhance communication and intimacy between men with prostate cancer and their partners. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well therapy enhances communication and intimacy for men with early stage prostate cancer and for their partners.
NCT00380796
The purpose of this long-term observational study is designed to collect additional information on incidence of cancer and cause of death among patients who have participated in clinical trials of infliximab in the treatment of COPD. Patients must have received at least 1 dose of study agent (ie, placebo or infliximab) in the primary studies to be eligible for participation in this long-term follow-up study. Information on deaths and cancers will be collected twice yearly for a period of 5 years from each patient's last safety visit in the primary study.
NCT00107848
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with PROVIGIL in children and adolescents with excessive sleepiness (ES) associated with narcolepsy or OSAHS (obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea), when administered for up to 12 months. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated throughout the study by means of adverse event information, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, and body weight and height measurements; quarterly physical examination findings; and 12 lead electrocardiograph (ECG) evaluations at the end of the study. In addition, the cognitive and behavioral effects of PROVIGIL will be assessed quarterly as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6-18 (CBCL/6-18), a brief psychiatric interview, and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (KBIT 2).
NCT01586533
This double-blind, randomized, comparator-controlled Phase II study is designed to establish the safety and efficacy of Zoenasa Rectal Gel compared to mesalamine enema in subjects with left-sided ulcerative colitis, as measured by the modified ulcerative colitis disease activity index (UCDAI), over 6 weeks of treatment. In this study, two cohorts of subjects will receive either Zoenasa-1:4 (1.0g NAC; 4.0g 5-ASA) investigational drug enema therapy or comparator mesalamine enema (4.0g 5-ASA). The study will enroll subjects randomized equally into the 2 cohorts. Each cohort will enroll approximately 60 subjects. The two arms of the trial will be enrolled concurrently in a randomized fashion.
NCT00274547
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether treatment with tiotropium (18 mcg) capsule once daily via the HandiHaler reduces the proportion of patients with COPD experiencing an exacerbation and the proportion of patients hospitalized for an exacerbation during a six month observation period.
NCT00499811
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphoma and liver dysfunction. (closed for accrual as of 04/05/2010) Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vorinostat may have different effects in patients who have changes in their liver function.
NCT00523991
A 24 week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 18mcg of tiotropium inhalation capsules administered by Handihaler once daily plus Pro Re Nata (PRN) albuterol (salbutamol) vs. placebo plus PRN albuterol (salbutamol) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease subjects naive to maintenance therapy.
NCT00525512
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects on exercise duration of 96 weeks treatment with 18 mcg tiotropium (Spiriva HandiHaler) daily as compared to placebo, in patients with COPD.
NCT00240435
The primary objective was to compare the bronchodilator efficacy of two doses (5 mcg and 10 mcg) of tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat inhaler once daily to placebo and to ipratropium bromide MDI four times daily in patients with COPD. The secondary objective was to compare the safety of tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat to placebo and ipratropium bromide MDI.
NCT01120691

NCT02058290
This study is designed to compare the standard of care against EXPAREL (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension) to determine if total opioid consumption is reduced when using EXPAREL, therefore possibly reducing total hospital costs.
NCT01058980
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder, impairs quality of life and increases stroke risk and mortality. Despite advances in medical treatment, AF remains uncontrolled in many patients. In many patients, AF is initiated by abnormal electrical impulses from the pulmonary veins. A catheter ablation procedure called pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has therefore been developed, using heat to isolate the PV foci from the heart. PVI is very effective, but must be repeated in up to 50% of cases because the foci isolation is not permanent after initial PVI. The intravenous administration of a drug called adenosine during the PVI procedure can unmask residual conduction that would otherwise remain unnoticed, so-called "dormant conduction". In our experience, additional ablation guided by adenosine reduces AF recurrence and the need for a repeat PVI procedure. However, the adenosine-guided approach has not yet been proven as standard therapy. The present study, to be conducted at 15 clinical centres in Canada, Europe and Australia is therefore intended to evaluate the efficacy of adenosine-guided ablation to prevent AF recurrence. Five hundred twenty-six patients will be included in the study, which should be completed within 2 years. In all patients, the presence of dormant conduction will be tested with adenosine during PVI. If dormant conduction is observed, additional ablation will be performed in half of these patients selected randomly. If there is no dormant conduction, randomly selected patients will be followed in a registry. If the adenosine-guided approach is demonstrated to improve the success rate of PVI procedures, it should become the standard approach for a "permanent cure" of AF, and therefore benefit patients by reducing arrhythmia recurrence, hospitalizations and the need for repeat interventions.
