NCT00099320
This study is designed to compare the effects of twice-daily exenatide plus oral antidiabetic (OAD) agents and twice-daily placebo plus OAD with respect to glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), in patients with type 2 diabetes who experience inadequate glycemic control with OAD alone.
NCT02246816
MP-101 will be evaluated in this study to see if it is safe and tolerable.
NCT00324259
This study aims to examine whether estradiol is an appropriate for future Phase 3 studies as second or third line endocrine treatment. In addition the protocol explores several approaches to enhance the safety of estrogen therapy, including the establishment of the efficacy of a lower dose than that currently recommended and through the early identification of non-responders to avoid drug exposure in patients who are unlikely to benefit to estrogen treatment.
NCT01189916
Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has revolutionized the concept of minimally invasive surgery. NOTES is currently performed through transgastric or transvaginal approaches. The transvaginal approach is technically easier, but is only available to women. A transrectal approach has been proposed as a potential alternative to transvaginal NOTES for men. Fortunately, the technology to facilitate transrectal access and closure for NOTES has been in use for over twenty years, in the form of transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) platforms. We hypothesize that transrectal NOTES appendectomy is feasible in humans using a flexible endoscope and a TEM platform to assist with transrectal access and closure. After a pre-clinical study involving 5 cadavers, we will perform a clinical study of 10 transrectal NOTES appendectomies in patients already scheduled to undergo laparoscopic total proctocolectomy or total abdominal colectomy. The tissues involved in the NOTES procedure will be removed as part of the patient's originally scheduled operation, reducing the risk of morbidity as a result of an inadequate transrectal closure or appendiceal stump leak. We will measure operative times, complication rates, peritoneal contamination, and assess the integrity of the rectotomy closures. We hope to show that transrectal NOTES appendectomy is clinically feasible in humans using a TEM platform.
NCT00082758
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as hu14.18-interleukin-2 fusion protein work in different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop tumor cells from growing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well hu14.18-interleukin-2 fusion protein works in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory neuroblastoma.
NCT00957996
This is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized study of the antiviral activity, safety, and tolerability of intravenous Peramivir in hospitalized subjects with confirmed or suspected influenza infection.
NCT01427283
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of oxycodone/naloxone controlled-release tablets (OXN) for the management of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) compared with oxycodone controlled-release tablets (OXY) in subjects with moderate to severe low back pain and opioid-induced constipation who require around-the-clock opioid therapy.
NCT01009099
This study will compare the effects of exercise training and breathing retraining (using metronome tones) to exercise training only. Exercise training lasts 12 weeks.
NCT01521507
The study objective is to evaluate the long-term treatment effectiveness for adult patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and evaporative dry eye by: 1) comparing the LipiFlow® System to a standardized daily warm compress and eyelid hygiene control therapy over a duration of 3 Months; and 2) evaluating the LipiFlow® alone and in combination with other MGD and dry eye treatments over a duration of up to 12 Months. This is a post-market, non-significant risk, prospective and multi-center clinical trial divided into two stages. The first stage from enrollment to 3 Months is an open-label, randomized controlled design to compare the effectiveness of a single LipiFlow® System treatment to a standardized daily warm compress and eyelid hygiene Control therapy with Crossover LipiFlow® treatment of the Control subjects at 3 Months. The second stage, occurring between 3 and 12 Months, is an observational design to evaluate the effectiveness of LipiFlow® alone and in combination with other MGD and dry eye treatments over a duration of up to 12 Months. Subjects are entered into the following subgroups based on the subject's self-assessment of the adequacy of symptom relief and protocol-defined criteria for additional treatment. 1. One LipiFlow® Treatment: Subjects who receive only one LipiFlow® treatment. 2. Two LipiFlow® Treatments: Subjects who receive a second LipiFlow® treatment. 3. Combination Treatment: Subjects who receive one or two LipiFlow® treatments followed by other MGD or dry eye treatment, as prescribed by the physician.
NCT01663532
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall efficacy of aripiprazole intramuscular (IM) depot as acute treatment in subjects with schizophrenia. The secondary purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of aripiprazole IM depot administered every 4 weeks for 12 weeks to adult subjects with schizophrenia.
NCT01307319
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational nasal aerosol at two doses compared with placebo nasal aerosol in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis in children (6-11 years of age).
NCT00441337
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MDX-1106 when administered to patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, clear cell renal cell cancer or hormone refractory prostate cancer
NCT00944073
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and the body's immune response (body's defense against disease) to an experimental H1N1 influenza vaccine. Up to 650 healthy volunteers from three age groups (greater than or equal to 6 months to less than 36 months, greater than or equal to 36 months to 9 years, and 10 - 17 years) with no history of influenza H1N1 2009 influenza infection or influenza H1N1 2009 vaccination will participate. Participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to 1 of 2 possible H1N1 vaccine groups. Group 1 will receive 15 mcg of vaccine; Group 2 will receive 30 mcg of vaccine. Participants will receive vaccine injections on Days 0 and 21 in the arm or thigh muscle. Study procedures include: medical history, physical exam, maintaining a memory aid, and blood sample collection. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for approximately 7 months.
NCT01673178
This is a trial in obese subjects who have poor lipid control with and without Type 2 diabetes mellitus to study the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of PF-05231023
NCT01825200
The hypothesis for this trial is that the incidence of a pre-defined composite of common systemic hypersensitivity adverse events for Flublok recipients is non-inferior to that reported for licensed IIV recipients. Another hypothesis is that the safety and reactogenicity of Flublok is clinically acceptable, i.e. consistent with the overall safety profiles previously observed with Flublok and with the licensed comparator.
NCT01750736
Manual therapy and exercise have shown to be beneficial for people with neck pain, however it is not clear how outcomes following a general exercise program compare to specific exercises intended to augment a specific manual/hands-on intervention. This study will compare outcomes following manual therapy and a specific exercise program with manual therapy and a general exercise program.
NCT01332227
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HIV-1-infected patients, who are virologically suppressed on a regimen of 2 nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors plus any third agent but are experiencing safety and/or tolerability issues, will maintain virologic suppression after switching to a regimen of heat-stable ritonavir boosted atazanavir, 300/100 mg, once daily plus raltegravir, 400 mg, twice daily.
