NCT02098369
About 1 million individuals in the US have a prescription for supplemental oxygen (O2). Using O2 can prolong life and increase quality of life. Patients often do not use their oxygen as prescribed, which means that they are not benefiting as much as they could be from this therapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a PEer-Led O2 Infoline for patients and CAregivers (PELICAN) will increase adherence to supplemental oxygen prescription and improve health in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
NCT00278512
The systemic vasculitis is a wide-ranging group of diseases that are characterized by the presence of blood vessel inflammation (1). Despite this common feature, each type of vasculitis has a unique variety of clinical manifestations that influences its degree of disease severity and ultimately its management. Immunosuppressive therapy forms the foundation of treatment for almost all forms of systemic vasculitis. The systemic necrotizing vasculitis (SNV) are a subset of vasculitis with significant morbidity and mortality (2). The SNV are Wegener's granulomatosis, allergic angiitis and granulomatosis (AAG) (also known as Churg-Strauss syndrome), polyarteritis nodosum (PAN), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), and overlap syndrome. In spite of modern therapeutic immune suppressive agents, there remains a not inconsequential morbidity and mortality associated with SNV. The current standard therapy for SNV is chronic oral cyclophosphamide (1-3 mg/kg/day) and corticosteroids (3-6). Transplant doses of cyclophosphamide at 200 mg/kg infused over 4 days is the most common worldwide transplant regimen for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (7). Like SLE, SNV are cyclophosphamide responsive disease. We, therefore, propose a trial of high dose cyclophosphamide with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) for patients with SNV.
NCT00282412
Rheumatoid arthritis disease is believed to be due to immune cells, cells that normally protect the body and are now causing damage to the body. Risk of death is highest in people with twenty or more joints actively involved with disease, positive rheumatoid factor, an elevated sedimentation rate (laboratory measures of active inflammation), and patients with limitation of daily activities (trouble doing simple things like opening a carton of milk). In these high risk patients, life is significantly shortened. Death is usually from heart disease, kidney failure, neck dislocation, broken hip bones, or blood clots to the lung. In this study we use moderate dose chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) and CAMPATH-1H (a protein that kills the immune cells that are thought to be causing the disease), followed by infusion of blood stem cells that have been collected from the patient's brother or sister (allogeneic stem cell transplant). The purpose of the moderate dose chemotherapy and CAMPATH-1H is to destroy the cells in the immune system and to allow the cells from the patient's brother or sister to grow. The purpose of the stem cell infusion is to restore blood cell production, which will be severely impaired by the moderate dose chemotherapy and CAMPATH-1H, and to produce a normal immune system that will no longer attack the body.
NCT01475721
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, endotracheal intubations, and deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled fluticasone propionate/salmeterol combination is the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.

NCT00993668
The purpose of this trial is to assess the affect of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) treatment on antibody response to T cell-independent and T cell-dependent immunizations using pneumococcal and influenza vaccines, respectively.
NCT02301975
This study is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, multicenter, non-inferiority study. The study will enroll adult and adolescent asthmatic subjects who are currently receiving mid dose inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) plus long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) (equivalent to fluticasone propionate \[FP\]/salmeterol 250/50 microgram \[mcg\]twice daily \[BD\]), either via a fixed dose combination product or through separate inhalers. The study consists of a LABA washout period of 5 days and a run-in period of 4 weeks, followed by a treatment period of 24 weeks, and a follow up contact period of one week. The total duration of the study is 30 weeks. Approximately 1461 subjects will be randomized to one of the following three treatments (487 per treatment): fluticasone furoate (FF)/vilanterol (VI) 100/25 mcg once daily (OD) in the evening (PM) via ELLIPTA™ inhaler plus placebo BD via ACCUHALER™/DISKUS™; FP/salmeterol 250/50 mcg BD via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler plus placebo OD (PM) via ELLIPTA inhaler; FP 250 mcg BD via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler plus placebo OD (PM) via ELLIPTA inhaler. In addition, all subjects will be supplied with albuterol/salbutamol inhalation aerosol to use as needed to treat acute asthma symptoms. This study will determine if FF/VI 100/25 mcg OD via ELLIPTA inhaler is non-inferior to FP/salmeterol 250/50 mcg BD via ACCUHALER/DISKUS inhaler in adult and adolescent asthmatic subjects already adequately controlled on a twice-daily ICS/LABA.

NCT01255761
Phase 4 study to evaluate a routine patient completed assessment (RAPID3) compared to a physician completed assessment (CDAI) to predict treatment success with subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis
NCT01313650
This is a phase III multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK573719/GW642444 Inhalation Powder, GSK573719 Inhalation Powder, GW642444 Inhalation Powder and Placebo when administered once-daily via a Novel Dry Powder Inhaler over a 24-week treatment period in subjects with COPD. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at Screening (Visit 1) will complete a 7 to14 day run-in period followed by a randomization visit (Visit 2) then a 24-week treatment period. There will be a total of 9 clinic study visits. A follow-up phone contact for adverse event assessment will be conducted approximately one week after the last study visit (Visit 9 or Early Withdrawal). The total duration of subject participation in the study will be approximately 27 weeks. A subset of subjects at selected sites will also perform 24-hour serial spirometry and Holter monitoring during the study and provide serial blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis. Sparse pharmacokinetic sampling for population pharmacokinetic analyses will be obtained from non-subset subjects. The primary measure of efficacy is clinic visit trough (pre-bronchodilator and pre-dose) FEV1 on Treatment Day 169. Safety will be assessed by adverse events, 12-lead ECGs, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and 24 hour Holter monitoring (subset only).
NCT02167113
This non-interventional clinical study will be conducted to prospectively collect serial plasma samples from subjects with chronic HBV infection who are initiating antiviral therapy. These samples will be used to estimate clinical utility endpoints for the Aptima HBV Quant assay, which is used as an aid in the management of HBV-infected patients undergoing HBV antiviral therapy.
NCT01969240
Our long-term goal is to promote evidence-based patient-centered evaluation in the acute setting to more closely tailor testing to disease risk. To compare the use of risk stratification tools with usual clinical approaches to treatment selection or administration, we propose the following: 1. Test if Chest Pain Choice safely improves validated patient-centered outcome measures in a pragmatic parallel patient randomized trial. Hypothesis: The intervention will significantly increase patient knowledge, engagement, and satisfaction with no increase in adverse events. 2. Test if the decision aid has an effect on healthcare utilization within 30 days after enrollment. Hypothesis: The intervention will significantly reduce the rate of hospital admission, rate of cardiac testing, and total healthcare utilization.
NCT02832297
In this 12-month multi-center prospective, site-randomized, two-arm trial, approximately 318 biologic-naïve subjects with RA who are candidates for treatment intensification due to inadequate response to MTX monotherapy will be enrolled at up to 60 study sites.
NCT00160524

NCT02558894
A Phase II Open-Label, Multi-Center Study of MEDI4736 Evaluated as Single Agent or in Combination with Tremelimumab in Patients with Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.
NCT01891305
The purpose of this study is to determine if the novel oral agent VT-1161 is safe and effective in treating patients with moderate - severe tinea pedis (also referred to as athletes foot). VT-1161 has been designed to inhibit CYP51, an enzyme essential for fungal growth. Inhibition of CYP51 results in the accumulation of chemicals know to be toxic to the fungus. CYP51 is the molecular target of the class of drugs referred to as 'azole antifungals'. All currently approved azole drugs have poor selectivity for CYP51 and this results in many of the side effects associated with the azole antifungals. The safety profile of the class similarly limits use in chronic treatment of non-life-threatening fungal infections. A safer antifungal drug would improve treatment options for infections seen in otherwise healthy individuals where significant side-effect risks are unacceptable.
NCT01674569
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary biologic activity/efficacy of X-82 in patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by change from baseline in visual acuity, fluorescein leakage, retinal thickness and fibrosis, if detectable, based on fundus examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
NCT01460511
