NCT01644877
This protocol will seek to enroll immunocompromised patients who are on supplemental oxygen and diagnosed with a parainfluenza infection.
NCT01340794
This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced or progressive malignant pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
NCT00875446
The drug being tested in this study is GSK1223249. It is being developed by GlaxoSmithKline to treat symptoms in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The drug works by inhibiting the protein that prevents nerve growth. This will be the first time the drug will be given to man. The trial is expected to involve approximately 76 patients. The study objective is to investigate the tolerability, safety and the way the body handles GSK1223249 after a range of single doses or repeat dose escalation in patients with ALS.
NCT00461812
The research hypothesis for the proposed study asks the question, can Asmanex® demonstrate comparable anti-inflammatory therapeutic efficacy to the combination product, Advair® in control of mild persistent asthma? The purpose is to demonstrate that the anti-inflammatory protection afforded by monotherapy with an inhaled steroid (Asmanex®) is comparable to combination therapy with Advair® 100/50, when measured by this standard methodology (methacholine bronchoprovocation) in subjects with mild persistent asthma.
NCT00620451
This study was conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of larazotide acetate versus placebo in inducing remission in subjects with active celiac disease.
NCT01147042
Background: \- Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an immunodeficiency disease in which white blood cells are unable to kill certain bacteria and fungi. People with CGD are more likely to develop recurrent life-threatening infections. Certain changes or mutations in genes contribute to the severity of CGD, and also appear to affect the success of treatment with interferon-gamma, a substance that is used to improve the immune system s ability to fight infection. Researchers are interested in studying changes in the immune system caused by interferon-gamma treatment of CGD in individuals with different mutations that cause CGD. Objectives: \- To compare changes in the immune system caused by interferon-gamma treatment for CGD in individuals with different mutations that cause CGD. Eligibility: \- Individuals of any age who have been diagnosed with CGD and have specific types of mutations that cause CGD (to be determined after testing). Design: * Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine tests. Participants must weigh more than 11 kilograms (\~24 pounds) to participate in the study. * Participants will receive injections of interferon-gamma once weekly for 4 weeks, twice weekly for 4 weeks, and then three times weekly for 4 weeks (a total of 24 injections). * Blood will be drawn periodically during treatment and for 8 weeks after the treatment, for a total of 21 weeks on the study. Participants will regularly provide information on their symptoms and responses to treatment to the study researchers.
NCT01203514
This study tested the safety and efficacy of transfusing erythropoietin (Epo) and iron in infants of \<1,250g birth weight. For infants 401-1,000g birth weight, we tested whether early erythropoietin (Epo) and iron therapy would decrease the number of transfusions received. For infants 1,001-1,250g birth weight, we tested whether early erythropoietin (Epo) and iron therapy would decrease the percentage of infants who received any transfusions.
NCT00414635
For people with HIV who are currently taking specific medications (including Sustiva (efavirenz)) and have no detectable viral load, this study tracks how patients do if they take their medications for five days of the week compared with seven days of the week.
NCT00786318
The primary objective is to determine if ziprasidone is superior to standard therapies in the emergency department treatment of the acutely agitated patient. The primary outcome will be the length of time taken until the patient is ready to be evaluated by the psychiatric service, or until a disposition is made.
NCT00494520
Adults who sustain brain damage due to stroke, traumatic injury or surgery may develop difficulty finding words. This study compares the effectiveness of two behavior-based programs to improve picture naming ability in these individuals.
NCT02533011
Present criteria used to define sepsis are non-specific, making it difficult to both distinguish sepsis from other diseases and to predict which patients are likely to become more severely ill. In standard care, patients at risk of becoming more severely ill are neither identified nor indicated for resuscitative efforts until they develop hemodynamic insufficiency or organ failure; after progression to severe disease, mortality increases significantly. The identification of risk patients can lead to earlier initiation of resuscitation therapies and potentially lead to reduced morbidity and mortality. This study aims to determine whether Heparin-binding protein (HBP), which is secreted from neutrophils during infection and a mediator of vascular leakage, can act as a biomarker for the progression to severe sepsis with circulatory failure. The objective of this study is to validate the utility of HBP to predict the development of delayed onset organ dysfunction in sepsis in patients and to compare the performance of HBP relative to currently used prognostic biomarkers in sepsis.
NCT00492960
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of multiple doses of larazotide acetate in preventing intestinal permeability changes induced by a 6- week gluten challenge in subjects with celiac disease.
NCT01684423
The purpose of this study is to find out whether rivaroxaban is safe to use in children and how long it stays in the body. There will also be a check for bleeding and worsening of blood clots.
NCT01593228
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of iniparib administered as monotherapy or in combination regimens in patients previously treated with iniparib in a clinical study and who have derived clinical benefit after completion of the parental study's objectives.
NCT00495521
The purpose of this 4 week study is to determine whether PASER®, an approved delayed-release oral formulation of 4-aminosalicylic acid, in doses of 50 milligrams per kilogram three times daily for 2 weeks followed by 50 milligrams per kilogram twice daily for 2 weeks, will resolve an acute flare of ileocecal Crohn's disease.
NCT02406235
The overall objective of this study is to assess turnaround time, pre-BRCA test onco-genetic counselling quality and satisfaction with a new onco-genetic BRCA testing model.
NCT00016523
This multicenter trial tested whether inhaled nitric oxide would reduce death or the need for oxygen in preterm infants (less than 34 weeks gestational age) with severe lung disease.
NCT01222364
This study tested the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial to vary the timing that doctors clamp the umbilical cord after birth in extremely low birthweight infants. The study also tested whether delaying cord clamping by 30-35 seconds and holding the newborn approximately 10 inches below the birth canal would result in increased hematocrit at 4 hours of age.
NCT00981357
Inactivation of the FAAH (Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase) enzyme has been shown to relieve pain and inflammation in animal studies. PF-04457845 has been shown to inactivate the FAAH enzyme in animals and healthy human volunteers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether PF-04457845 can inactivate the FAAH enzyme in patients experiencing pain due to OA and whether this results in these patients experiencing less pain.
NCT00136578
The purpose of this study is to determine the dose regimen of Ispinesib in combination with carboplatin in patients with solid tumors. Ispinesib is dosed by 1-hour intravenous infusion and carboplatin is dosed by 30 minute intravenous infusion every 3 weeks (on the same day). A patient may continue to receive treatment as long as they are benefiting from the treatment. Blood samples will be taken at specific times to measure the amount of both drugs in your body at specific times after the drug is given. Blood samples will also be taken for lab tests such as complete blood counts and clinical chemistries. Physical exams will be performed before each treatment with Ispinesib. During the treatment phase, the patients will undergo regular assessments for safety and clinical response.
