NCT00731692
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether FTY720 is effective in delaying MS disability progression compared to placebo in patients with PPMS. This was an open-label, single-arm extension study to a double-blind, randomized multicenter, placebo-controlled, parallel-group core study. The core study completed and eligible patients enrolled into the extension study at the next scheduled or unscheduled core study visit. All patients, regardless of their treatment in the core study, received fingolimod 0.5 mg in the extension study. The extension study was terminated early after the results of the core study became available showing that the study did not meet its primary endpoint which was defined as confirmed disability progression in this population
NCT01523548
The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of carbon monoxide (CO) to decrease elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary artery. This symptom is seen in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare disease that causes fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath because the blood vessels that supply the lungs narrow, forcing the heart to work harder to push blood through. Previous studies in the laboratory have shown that carbon monoxide has promise in treating these symptoms. Subjects in this study are being asked to undergo a new type of treatment to improve pulmonary arterial hypertension by breathing CO gas. CO is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas usually found in car exhaust or cigarette smoke. It is administered with a continuous flow of air. Subjects will undergo a screening process during which it will be determined if they are eligible for the study. After the screening process, if subjects meet eligibility criteria for the study, they will begin carbon monoxide treatment through a cushioned mask that is placed over the nose and mouth. This treatment will last for sixteen weeks.
NCT01221311
The current standard of care for benign bile duct strictures involves placement of multiple plastic stents under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance to progressively dilate or stretch it open. This approach necessitates multiple procedures which may extend over one year before the stricture is adequately dilated. The investigators propose a study comparing the standard approach of plastic stenting with the use of newer, fully coated metallic stents which are self-expandable, thereby permitting successful dilation of benign bile duct strictures with fewer procedures.
NCT01305252
The Study Hypothesis: Aggressive, upfront, dual therapy for treatment-naïve NYHA I/II/III PAH is superior to a traditional "step-up" approach. The study will evaluate: 1. Impact of dual, upfront, therapy on cardiovascular parameters in PAH as gauged by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) at 24 weeks and event free survival at outcome at 48 weeks. 2. Value of novel biomarkers (NT-pro BNP, Mts1/S100A4, and insulin resistance) and cutting-edge imaging technologies (cardiac MRI) as newer endpoints for clinical trials in PAH. 3. Utility of longer clinical trial design with the use of combined clinical events as time to clinical worsening surrogate
NCT02014402
This purpose of this clinical trial was to study the safety and efficacy of Topical Thrombin (Human) Grifols as an add-on treatment to help stop bleeding during vascular, liver, soft tissue, and spinal surgical procedures.
NCT02145468
Losmapimod is a new anti-inflammatory medication which potentially may benefit patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome, (ACS), a condition which includes heart attack. There is a growing understanding that the inflammatory response to ACS is integral to the subsequent evolution of plaque instability. Losmapimod inhibits p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), an enzyme which may play a central role in inflammation in the setting of heart attack. Inhibition of p38 MAPK may stabilize atherosclerotic plaques, reduce the risk of subsequent plaque rupture, indirectly improve vascular function and prevent subsequent thrombosis, and thus reduce infarct size and the risk of subsequent cardiac events. This study will test whether losmapimod can safely reduce the risk of a subsequent cardiovascular event (such as death, heart attack, or near heart attack requiring urgent treatment ) when started immediately after ACS (specifically, heart attack). Patients who present with heart attack and qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive 3 months treatment with either losmapimod twice daily or placebo, which will be administered in addition to the usual standard of care therapies for heart attack. Following the in-hospital period, subjects will return for outpatient visits at 4 and 12 weeks, as well as a follow up visit at 24 weeks.
NCT00381862
RATIONALE: Aprepitant, palonosetron, and dexamethasone may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving aprepitant together with palonosetron and dexamethasone works in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in patients receiving chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.
NCT01440374
This was a worldwide, three-part (Part 1: open-label, Part 2: randomized, double-blind, Part 3: extension), multi-center study to evaluate the effect of eltrombopag in subjects with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy. This objective was assessed by a composite primary endpoint that consists of the following: the proportion of ≥Grade 3 hemorrhagic adverse events, or platelet counts \<10 Gi/L, or platelet transfusions. Patients with MDS or AML and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia due to bone marrow insufficiency from their underlying disease or prior chemotherapy were enrolled in the study. No low or intermediate-1 risk MDS subjects were enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had at least one of the following during the 4 weeks prior to enrolment: platelet count \<10 Gi/L, platelet transfusion, or symptomatic hemorrhagic event. Supportive standard of care (SOC), including hydroxyurea, was allowed as indicated by local practice throughout the study. The study had 3 sequential parts. Subjects who were enrolled in Part 1 (open-label) cannot be enrolled in Part 2 of the study (randomized, double-blind); however, subjects who completed the treatment period for Part 1 or Part 2 (8 and 12 weeks, respectively) continued in Part 3 (extension) if the investigator determined that the subject was receiving clinical benefit on treatment.
NCT01223365
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of hydrocodone extended-release tablets when used over a 12-month period in patients with chronic pain, as assessed by adverse events, clinical laboratory results, vital signs measurements, electrocardiogram results, physical examination findings, pure tone audiometry, and concomitant medication usage.
NCT02613910
This study is designed as a multi-country, multicenter, open label extension to Phase III trial OPV116910. The primary objective is to provide continued treatment with ofatumumab subcutaneous (SC) for eligible subjects who complete the OPV116910 trial in order to obtain further long term safety and tolerability information in subjects with pemphigus vulgaris receiving ofatumumab SC every 4 weeks (wk).
NCT02000440
This is a single-arm, multicenter, open-label Phase II, proof-of-mechanism study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of losmapimod in approximately 21 subjects with primary (idiopathic) focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and substantive proteinuria as indicated by a Urinary protein/creatinine Up/c ratio \>=2 gram/gram (g/g) or 24 hr urine protein \>=2 g/day. Losmapimod will be orally administered twice daily over a 24-week treatment phase followed by a 12-week follow-up for safety and relapse assessments.
NCT02607085
This study evaluates the management of subjects with Standard of Care (SOC) when admitted to the Emergency Department (ED) with hyperkalemia (potassium value ≥ 5.5 mmol/L). Demographics and medical history data, including previous ED visits and/or hospital admissions for hyperkalemia and reason for current ED admission, will be recorded. Subjects who receive an intervention/treatment for hyperkalemia will have study-related potassium values determined at 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 4 hours after the start of treatment. Subjects who receive no intervention/treatment during the initial 4-hour period will have a study-related potassium value determined 4 hours after the baseline potassium measurement. Available data obtained as part of SOC management will include physical examinations, vital signs, fluid intake and urine output, ECGs, clinical laboratory data, and results of chest x-rays. Data regarding the subject's chief complaint upon admission to the ED, the possible cause of the subject's hyperkalemia, and admitting and discharge diagnosis will be recorded; the subject's overall discharge summary will also be collected.

NCT00976261
The purpose of Part A of this study is to test whether repeated doses of the study drug (GSK1614235) are safe and well tolerated (i.e. do not produce unacceptable side effects) and whether we can obtain some preliminary information as to whether it works in lowering blood glucose levels. We will do this by comparing the effect of the study drug with placebo (no drug present) and against a drug (sitagliptin) known to control blood glucose in the treatment of diabetes. The purpose of Part B of this study is to determine the how the timing of dosing, relative to meals, affects the response to study drug.
