NCT01532869
This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-arm, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in participants with systemic sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg subcutaneously weekly or placebo for 48 weeks. From Week 48 to Week 96, all participants will receive open-label RoActemra/Actemra 162 mg subcutaneously weekly. Anticipated time on study treatment is 96 weeks.
NCT00449332
The purpose of this research is to discover the different patterns of cytokine production in patients who may develop Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome-0p (BOS-0p) which means ongoing rejection. This is an early indicator of chronic rejection in lung transplant recipients. These cytokines can be detected in the bronchoalveolar (lung) and tissue samples of lung transplant recipients.
NCT00525148
The primary objective of this open-label, single arm Phase II trial is to explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 defined by the objective response rate (CR, PR) as determined by RECIST criteria in patients with advanced NSCLC Stage IIIB or IV whose tumors harbor activating mutations within exon 18 to exon 21 of the EGFR receptor. Patients progressing or relapsing after one prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen as well as chemotherapy naïve patients (only in stage 2) will be allowed to enter into the trial.
NCT00329225
This 24-week study will compare the effects of adding the drug rosiglitazone (2mg and 4mg) or placebo to insulin in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent) who have not achieved their blood glucose goal using insulin alone. This study requires a total of seven visits during 28 weeks.
NCT00571649
This study will evaluate if extended therapy with oral rivaroxaban can prevent blood clots in the leg and lung that can occur with patients hospitalized for acute medical illness, and compare these results with those of the standard enoxaparin dose and duration regimen. The safety of rivaroxaban will also be studied.
NCT00846131
A research study to determine the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of Therasphere® (also known as Y-90, or Y-90 Therasphere) combined with or without sorafenib (Nexavar®), in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, or liver cancer), awaiting liver transplantation.
NCT00496262
This study evaluated the single-dose pharmacokinetics of human fibrinogen concentrate and clot strength (maximum clot firmness \[MCF\]) in subjects with congenital fibrinogen deficiency. MCF was measured to demonstrate the functional activity of replacement fibrinogen when a fixed dose of human fibrinogen concentrate was administered.
NCT00035152
Taxol and carboplatin are commonly used drugs for the treatment of stage IIIB or IV non small cell lung carcinoma. This study compares treatment with Taxol/carboplatin given every 3 weeks to a schedule where it is given weekly. The purpose of the study is to determine the most effective and safe schedule for giving these drugs in non small cell lung carcinoma.
NCT00107757
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational drug is effective and safe in children with seasonal allergic rhinitis.
NCT01447225
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of MM-121 + certain anticancer therapies
NCT01105962
This is an observational research study whose purposes are to see: 1. if 40 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy sessions at 1.5 atmospheres (HBOT 1.5) or more (60, or 80 HBOT's) help, worsen, or have no effect on subjects with chronic TBI/PCS (Traumatic Brain Injury/Post-Concussion Syndrome) and/or PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). 2. if improvements or worsening of symptoms can be recorded with computerized and written tests for memory and thinking, and with questionnaires about the subject's quality of life and health. 3. determine the long-term outcome of the treatment. 4. confirm, in large numbers of study participants at multiple sites nationwide, the strong positive results obtained in pilot studies
NCT00274677
This study is an 8-week evaluation of an investigational drug for treating depression in bipolar patients. Depressed patients will be given either an investigational drug or placebo and receive psychiatric assessments of their depression at weekly visits. Study drug and all study-related visits are provided at no cost to the patient. The patient agrees to meet with study research staff for roughly 11 clinic visits.
NCT00196313
This study is being conducted to evaluate the effects of treatment with Seasonique an extended-regimen oral contraceptive that utilizes low dose ethinyl estradiol during the typical hormone-free interval. Patients will receive 13 weeks of treatment with the option to extend blinded therapy for an additional 13 weeks. The overall study duration will be 6-9 months. Patients will be required to record menstrual pain in a daily diary.
NCT00224471
Evaluate, one month after the third dose, the lot-to-lot consistency of 3 different commercial scale production lots of the candidate vaccine in healthy HSV 1-/2- females aged 10-17 years, determined by ELISA. Absence in significant variation for both parameters among the tested lots was hypothesized.
NCT01687257
This study will evaluate the antiviral efficacy of combination therapy with sofosbuvir (SOF) plus ribavirin (RBV) for 48 weeks in adults with compensated and decompensated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Approximately 50 adults will be randomized (1:1) to receive study drug for 48 weeks or take part in an untreated observational arm for the first 24 weeks followed by study drug for another 48 weeks.
NCT00463294
I. Main Research Question: * To compare the risks and benefits of Off-pump Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) to On-pump CABG and to determine if one is better than the other. * The purpose of this pilot study is also to see the rate of recruitment with expertise-based randomization across different hospital settings. II. Small RCT studies and meta-analyses done so far have not been able to conclusively say which of the procedure is better. A large randomized study is required to establish the risks and benefits associated with both the off-pump and on-pump CABG surgical procedures. III. The study will look at which of the two techniques reduce major risks associated with CABG.
NCT00116883
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of an aqueous nasal spray investigational compound GW685698X compared to placebo on the hypothalamic pituitary adrenocortical (HPA) axis system in children 2 to 11 years of age with perennial allergic rhinitis.
NCT02497729
The use of a written, pre-procedure checklist and positioning the patient with the head of the bed elevated have been proposed as interventions capable of preventing complications during non-elective intubation and are used intermittently in routine care -- however neither have been examined in a prospective trial.
NCT01342484
The main objective of this study is to identify the dose of linagliptin in paediatric patients. Other efficacy objectives include the comparison of the lowering effect of linagliptin low dose, high dose and placebo on the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) observed after 12 wk of treatment. Furthermore, the study will investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), the pharmacodynamics (PD) and the PK/PD relationship of linagliptin in the paediatric population.
NCT01742052
The primary objectives of the study are: * To evaluate the effects of three oral doses of MT-1303 compared to placebo given for a period of 24 weeks in subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) on MRI parameters * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of three oral doses of MT-1303 compared to placebo given for a period of 24 weeks in subjects with RRMS.
