AIR STUDY TITLE: Anti-Ischemic effects of Abciximab(Reopro) PATIENT POPULATION: Patients undergoing PCI(an interventional procedure placing a small stent/metallic tube to keep a narrowed artery in your heart open) and either on a stable statin dose or not on a statin. Statin= cholesterol lowering drug(ie, lipitor, zocor). INTERVENTION: Heparin vs. heparin + abciximab during PCI PURPOSE: Measure the effects of abciximab on special healing blood stem cells (EPC's-Endothelial Progenitor Cells), on inflammation, on oxidative stress and on microvascular blood flow. PATIENT ASSESSMENT: 1. 50ccs blood draw on day 1(from sheath), day 2 ,day 7 and day 28. 2. Measurement of blood flow in selected suitable patients 3. 10 minute questionnaire before discharge and on visit on day 28.
NCT01060293
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of 1) high-dose furosemide, 2) low-dose furosemide, and 3) low-dose furosemide combined with low-dose dopamine on diuresis, clinical status, renal function, electrolyte balance, length of stay, and 60-day post-discharge outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure.
NCT00146679
The overall purpose of this study is to test the effects of a nurse managed psychoeducational intervention, consisting of symptom management training (SMT) and cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBI), during the first year after ICD implantation using a 3 group randomized clinical trial.
NCT01853254
This open-label, non-randomized, single arm study will provide treatment or re-treatment with Pegasys (peginterferon alfa-2a) as monotherapy or in combination with Copegus (ribavirin) to patients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Patients who have received prior Pegasys monotherapy or combination therapy or who were considered eligible for treatment with Pegasys in previous donor protocols will be eligible to participate in this study. Treatment will be on investigator's decision according to the approved label for up to 48 weeks, with a 24-week safety follow-up.
NCT00264810
The RNS® System Pivotal study is designed to assess safety and demonstrate that the RNS® System is effective as an adjunctive (add-on) therapy in reducing the frequency of seizures in individuals 18 years of age or older with partial onset seizures from no more than two foci (two areas of the brain) that are refractory (drug-resistant or hard-to-treat) to two or more antiepileptic medications. Patients continue to receive their epilepsy medications while participating in the study.
NCT00277524
The purpose of the OMNI study is to characterize therapy and diagnostic utilization in study participants implanted with study devices and to describe Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator(ICD)therapy utilization for life threatening arrhythmias in primary and secondary prevention study participants. This study will assess therapies in Medtronic pacemaker, defibrillator, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices. The first therapy is for reducing unnecessary pacing in pacemaker patients. The second therapy provides pacing therapy in an attempt to stop fast or life threatening ventricular arrhythmias in lieu of delivering a defibrillation shock. The third therapy is a diagnostic measurement of a patient's fluid status and provides the physician information on the patient's heart failure status. The study will also assess the time to a patient's first defibrillation shock and will verify that the shock was for a fast or life threatening ventricular rhythm.
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.
NCT01537367
PROJECT OVERVIEW This research is a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and six university-affiliated HIV clinics in the United States. Study title: Intervention Trials to Retain HIV Patients in Medical Care Study sites: The study will be performed at six HIV clinics affiliated with academic medical centers. Objectives: Using HIV patients' clinical data (without personal identifiers) routinely archived in electronic databases at the six participating clinics do the following: • To examine the extent to which a client-centered intervention delivered by trained interventionists (Phase 2 trial of the project) improves patient attendance for HIV primary care over and above the effect of the clinic-wide intervention. Phase 2 is a three-arm randomized controlled trial conducted at each of the participating six clinics. 300 patients will be enrolled in the Phase 2 trial at each clinic. One hundred will be new patients and 200 will be patients with inconsistent attendance for HIV primary care at the clinic in the prior 12 months. Patients will be randomized to: (1) an enhanced contact plus behavioral skills arm or (2) an enhanced contact-only arm in which patients will receive a longer or a shorter client-centered intervention from two trained interventionists, or (3) the standard of care arm in which patients will receive the clinic-wide intervention and routine HIV clinical care only.
NCT01161563
The purpose of this study is to compare how subjects feel after receiving injections of two different types of GnRH six months apart. One injection is given under the skin of the abdomen, and the other one into the muscle of the buttock or thigh.
NCT01934257
This clinical trial will determine if the formula given to infants experiencing fussiness, crying, cramping, gas, and/or diarrhea, is accepted and well tolerated and helps to resolve symptoms.
NCT00267358
Anorexia and cachexia are devastating complications in late-stage cancer patients and is strongly associated with mortality in these patients. Activation of Ghrelin receptors have been demonstrated to stimulate appetite. RC-1291 HCl, by virtue of its ghrelin like activity and Growth Hormone releasing effects may have a dual role in the reversal of cancer induced anorexia and cachexia. This placebo controlled study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RC-1291 HCl in cancer patients with anorexia and cachexia.
NCT01031628
The purpose of this study is to determine if escalating the dose of imatinib to keep the drug blood level at ≥ 1100 ng/ml leads to better outcomes for patients.
NCT00219817
Anorexia and weight loss are devastating complications in late-stage cancer patients and is strongly associated with mortality in these patients. Activation of Ghrelin receptors have been demonstrated to stimulate appetite. RC-1291 HCl, by virtue of its ghrelin like activity and Growth Hormone releasing effects may have a dual role in the reversal of cancer induced anorexia and weight loss. This study will test the safety and efficacy of RC-1291 in the treatment of cancer patients with anorexia and weight loss.
NCT01720576
This is a study to assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneously administered REGN1033 (SAR391786) in healthy volunteers.
NCT00838591
The objective of this clinical study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of intravenous MN-221 compared to placebo when administered as an adjunct to standard therapy in subjects experiencing an acute exacerbation of asthma.
NCT01932866
The purpose of this randomized, controlled study is to evaluate whether the knowledge of a personalized diabetes risk score affects adherence to a 12-week diet and exercise lifestyle change program in prediabetic patients. The intervention group will receive diabetes risk score results at the beginning of the twelve weeks, and the control group will not receive these results. Both groups will review their baseline and 12-week diabetes risk score results at the conclusion of the program and will be followed for an additional twelve weeks. Attendance rates and changes in weight, BMI, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, HgA1c, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, and diabetes risk score will be compared between the groups.
NCT00498836

NCT00716482
Our hypothesis is that the addition of ShearWave Elastography (SWE) to a conventional breast ultrasound examination provides useful information for the radiologist when imaging lesions in the breast, as compared to conventional grayscale ultrasound alone.
