NCT02713100
In recent years, there has been an emphasis on assessing patient's pain on presentation to emergency departments. The Joint Commission mandates that all patients who present with pain must have a pain assessment performed and addressed early in their care. Most emergency departments are using a self-reported assessment of pain using a 1-10 scale of pain. This self-reported level of pain is used to determining appropriate treatment. The Joint Commission has only dealt with somatic pain and has not addressed psychological related pain. Many authors have written on psychological pain. It is described as introspective experience of negative emotions such as anger, despair, fear, grief, shame, guilt, hopelessness, loneliness and loss. The assessment of psychological pain has been used to describe patients with depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Study Significance The significance of this study is to determine if patients can communicate the level of psychological pain using the level of agitation as a surrogate marker. Studies have demonstrated that the staff's assessment of a patient's level of agitation is not based on an agitation scale nor uses any patient self-assessment of their level of agitation. If a self-assessment of a patient's level of agitation can be determined early in their care in the emergency setting, a proactive approach to treatment can occur. Proactive agitation treatment has the potential of reducing a patient's agitation and increasing their level of comfort. This early intervention can reduce the progression of agitation and the risk of injury to patients, families and staff. Hypothesis The study null hypothesis is that the self-rated agitation scale will not have a significant level of correlation with the other measures of agitation (Brief Agitation Measure, Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale and Agitation Calmness Evaluation Scale). The secondary null hypothesis is that there is no difference between the level of agitation and the level of psychological pain, assessed with the Psychological Pain Assessment.
NCT00306592
The primary objectives of this study are to further evaluate the safety of natalizumab (Tysabri®) monotherapy by evaluating the risk of hypersensitivity and immunogenicity following re-exposure to natalizumab, and to confirm the safety of switching to natalizumab from interferon beta (IFN-β), glatiramer acetate (GA), or other multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies.
NCT00829985
There is currently no effective way to prevent development of allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) and asthma and no cure. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a type of therapy in which allergens are placed under the tongue, may be a way to control and possibly prevent allergic rhinitis and asthma. However, detailed research of this approach is limited. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a sublingual cockroach extract given to adults with perennial allergic rhinitis, asthma, or both.
NCT00978627
This trial is conducted in Europe, Oceania, and the United States of America (USA). The aim of this clinical trial is to compare NN5401 (insulin degludec/insulin aspart (IDegAsp)) with insulin detemir (IDet) plus insulin aspart in patients with type 1 diabetes (main period) followed by the extension period comparing the long-term safety of NN5401 plus insulin aspart with insulin detemir plus insulin aspart. The main period is registered internally at Novo Nordisk as NN5401-3594 while the extension period is registered as NN5401-3645.
NCT01437397
The purpose of this Phase III study is to assess the maintenance bronchodilator effects of the fixed dose combination versus monotherapies. This study will also assess the effects of the fixed dose combination in terms of COPD symptoms, disease related health status and the long-term safety and tolerability of the fixed dose combination. This study will include a 24 week treatment period, preceding by a run-in period, followed by a two week follow up visit. All patients will be randomized to one of four treatment arms or placebo.
NCT01371734
This is a double-blind study evaluating Desvenlafaxine Succinate Sustained-Release (DVS SR) versus placebo in the Treatment of Children and Adolescent Outpatients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
NCT00936702
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus 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. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well carboplatin given together with paclitaxel and everolimus works in treating patients with previously untreated cancer of unknown primary.
NCT01873417
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of symptomatic therapies on gastrointestinal (GI)-related events reported by participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) initiating therapy with dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in the clinical practice setting. The secondary objectives of this study are as follows: * To evaluate GI-related events requiring symptomatic therapy and the role of those therapies over time in participants with relapsing forms of MS initiating therapy with DMF in the clinical practice setting. * To evaluate GI-related events that lead to DMF discontinuation after the use of symptomatic therapy in participants with relapsing forms of MS initiating therapy with DMF in the clinical practice setting.
NCT01845025
The purpose of this study was to assess whether the risk of serious asthma-related events (asthma-related hospitalizations, asthma related intubations, and asthma related deaths) in adolescents and adults (12 years of age and older) taking inhaled formoterol fumarate/fluticasone propionate combination was the same as those taking inhaled fluticasone propionate alone.
NCT00196989
This Phase 2 dose-ranging study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a range of doses of GW677954 compared with placebo over sixteen weeks of treatment in subjects with T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus).
NCT02364544
The goal of the Improving Care and Reducing Cost (ICRC) Program, is to improve disease management and the overall process of care in treating the chronic illness schizophrenia in order to reduce ER visits and hospital days while providing better care, better health and increased patient satisfaction. This will be done by fostering innovation in the use of technology and by training and deploying a new cadre of personnel in the behavioral health field: Mental Health/Health Technology (MH/HT) Case Managers.

NCT01869959
The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY2405319. It was given as a daily injection under the skin to participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for 28 days. This study determined how long the drug stays in the body and how it affects blood sugar levels. After screening, the study lasted about 2 months for each participant. Participants continued their prestudy regimen of diet and exercise alone or in combination with metformin.
NCT01738178
Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder in which patients experience progressive motor disability and many disabling non-motor symptoms. Recent studies have consistently found that people who do not use caffeine are at higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease. This suggests that caffeine may have potential as a treatment for PD. In a pilot study of caffeine for daytime sleepiness in PD, there was evident benefit on the motor manifestations of disease. There have been other lines of evidence that have suggested caffeine could be useful in PD. This study is to evaluate the efficacy of caffeine 200 mg BID vs matching placebo for motor and non-motor aspects of disease. This will be in three stages. In the first six-month stage, medications will be held constant, to see whether caffeine does have motor benefits. Then we will perform a four-year extension stage to define if the effects of caffeine persist (or even magnify), and to see if caffeine helps reduce dose of other PD meds and/or prevents their side effects. Finally, we will finish with a six-month stage in which we will place all patients on caffeine - this will allow us to assess caffeine's use in later disease, but more importantly, will assess whether early use of caffeine produces long term changes beyond its immediate effects.
