NCT00580216
The objective is to evaluate whether once weekly subcutaneous (SC) injection of idrabiotaparinux sodium (biotinylated idraparinux) is at least as efficient to prevent clots in brain and in the other organs than oral international normalized ratio (INR) adjusted-dose warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
NCT01082549
To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced squamous cell lung cancer receiving the combination of gemcitabine/carboplatin either with or without Iniparib. Based on data generated by BiPar/Sanofi, it is concluded that iniparib does not possess characteristics typical of the PARP inhibitor class. The exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated, however based on experiments on tumor cells performed in the laboratory, iniparib is a novel investigational anti-cancer agent that induces gamma-H2AX (a marker of DNA damage) in tumor cell lines, induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in tumor cell lines, and potentiates the cell cycle effects of DNA damaging modalities in tumor cell lines. Investigations into potential targets of iniparib and its metabolites are ongoing.
NCT01677182
To evaluate the efficacy of ramelteon for treatment of acute depressive episodes associated with Bipolar 1 Disorder.
NCT01852955
Recent evidence demonstrates that perioperative pain continues to be poorly managed among ambulatory surgical patients. More importantly, few interventions that minimize postoperative pain have also shown to improve patient overall quality of post-surgical recovery. Ketorolac has been used to minimize perioperative pain despite the lack of evidence for its use when administered as a single dose preventive strategy.Ketorolac has also been associated with a higher incidence of perioperative hematomas and the need for surgical re-exploration after breast surgery. Systemic acetaminophen has become recently available in The United States. In contrast to ketorolac, systemic acetaminophen has not been reported to have adverse side effects on patients undergoing breast surgery. Although evidence suggests that a single dose perioperative acetaminophen reduces postoperative pain, it remains unknown if a single dose intravenous acetaminophen improves postoperative quality of recovery after ambulatory surgery. The main objective of the current investigation is to evaluate the effect of a single dose systemic acetaminophen on postoperative quality of recovery after ambulatory breast surgery. We also seek to determine if systemic acetaminophen would decrease postoperative pain and the time to hospital discharge in the same population. Significance: The current project evaluates a potential intervention to improve perioperative pain and recovery after ambulatory breast surgery. Postoperative pain in the ambulatory surgical patients has been shown consistently to be poorly managed.
NCT00386334

NCT01656889
This study is being done to find out if an investigational product called HP802-247 can help people with venous leg ulcers. Investigational means that HP802-247 has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This research is being done to compare the efficacy of HP802-247 plus compression therapy against Vehicle plus compression therapy in achieving complete wound closure over the 12-week treatment period. Vehicle looks the same as HP802-247 but contains no cells.
NCT01168856
This observational long-term follow-up study will assess the persistence of direct acting antiviral (DAA) resistant mutations and the durability of sustained virological response in patients with chronic hepatitis C who have participated in a Roche DAA treatment protocol. Up to 5 scheduled monitoring visits for blood sampling during an observational period of up to 36 months.
NCT01297491
The purpose of this two-stage phase II study is to assess the efficacy of BKM120, as measured by determining the progression free survival (PFS), in patients with pretreated metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that exhibits PI3K pathway activation. BKM120 will be investigated in two groups of NSCLC patients according to the histology of the cancer: squamous and non-squamous.
NCT01403636
Primary Objective: \- To evaluate the efficacy of SAR245409 as determined by the objective response rate (ORR) in patients with 1 of following relapsed or refractory lymphoma or leukemia subtypes: mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), or diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) Secondary Objectives: * To assess duration of response, progression free survival (PFS), and proportion of patients with PFS at 6 months (24 weeks) in patients with either MCL, FL, CLL/SLL or DLBCL treated with SAR245409 * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SAR245409 in patients with MCL, FL, CLL/SLL or DLBCL * To further characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of SAR245409 in patients with MCL, FL, CLL/SLL or DLBCL
NCT00595920
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tovaxin in the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
NCT00216125
In a previous phase II study, patients with pathological stage IIIb (without pleural effusion) NSCLC were treated with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide plus thoracic radiotherapy followed by 3 cycles of consolidation therapy with docetaxel. Docetaxel was selected based upon a survival benefit in patients with recurrent NSCLC. This trial will evaluate the role of consolidation therapy with docetaxel in patients with unresectable stage III disease. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate survival and toxicities of the regimens employed.
NCT00735397
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of perampanel (up to 12 mg/day) given as adjunctive treatment in subjects with refractory partial seizures and to evaluate the maintenance of effect of perampanel for the control of refractory partial seizures.
NCT00983892
Given the growing strain on the Veterans Administration resulting from increasing caseloads of cancer patients, interventions are badly needed that assist patients in managing their illness, improve quality of life and avoid acute episodes that result in urgent care use and increased mortality. Previous studies have found that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy can effectively manage their own symptoms when monitored using automated telephone calls. Such technology, however, may challenge the number of Veterans who lack social support and/or independence. The goal was to develop and test a technology that not only monitors patients automatically by telephone, but also gives them self management advice and engages a friend or family member to serve as a CarePartner willing to play a limited role in identifying patient symptoms and psychosocial needs to reinforce self management and provide social support. The investigators found that this technology indeed helped patients better control their symptoms, especially when a caregiver participated in the program along with them.
NCT01429441

NCT00790192
Lurasidone HCl is a compound being developed for the treatment of schizophrenia. This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe as compared with quetiapine XR short term among acutely psychotic patients with chronic schizophrenia.
NCT01233869
This purpose of this study is to determine if bosutinib reduces the rate of kidney enlargement in subjects with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) entering the study with a total kidney volume greater than or equal to 750 cc and eGFR greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73m2.
NCT00507663
This study proposes a prospective randomized study of elders undergoing elective major abdominal surgery to assess recovery following a unique anesthetic regimen incorporating a adrenergic receptor antagonist. The purposes of this study are to: 1. to determine if using atenolol, a beta-blocker drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease, as part of your anesthetic regimen will decrease complications that sometimes occur in elderly patients who are undergoing surgery and being given anesthesia. 2. to see if it improves or quickens your recovery from anesthesia and surgery. 3. to help investigators design better ways to administer anesthesia during surgery, especially in elderly patients, so that the complications and the time to recover from surgery and anesthesia can be decreased.
