NCT01107886
The purpose of this study is to determine whether saxagliptin can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events when used alone or added to other diabetes medications
NCT00955279
This study tests the safety and effectiveness of ustekinumab or golimumab compared to placebo (placebo looks like the drugs being studied, but has no active ingredients). The purpose of this research study is to determine if ustekinumab or golimumab is safe and to determine its effects (good and bad) on patients with chronic sarcoidosis with pulmonary and/or skin involvement. Patients with pulmonary involvement constitute the primary population for analysis, and patients with skin involvement constitute the secondary population; a patient may be in both populations. The study will be conducted at approximately 40 sites globally.
NCT01078922
This is a phase II open label study that looks at the efficacy and toxicity of Ofatumumab monotherapy in patients with relapsed and/or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients will receive weekly infusions of Ofatumumab of 1000 mg each for 8 weeks (induction phase) followed by continuing the study drugs every other week in subsequent cycles (maintenance phase). Each 4 weeks of therapy will be calculated as one cycle. Treatment will continue until disease progression, toxicity, patient's withdrawal, or investigator's discretion.
NCT01447927
This randomized phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride works in preventing esophageal cancer in patients with Barrett esophagus. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of metformin hydrochloride may keep esophageal cancer from forming.
NCT01511458
The purpose of this blinded, multi-center, prospective, case-controlled study is to compare the Ariosa Harmony™ Prenatal Test for trisomy 21 detection with a standard first-trimester prenatal screening test consisting of serum screening (PAPP-A,free beta-hCG \[β-hCG\] or total hCG) and a nuchal translucency (NT) measurement (i.e. combined first trimester screening) in a general screened population. The performance characteristics of these two test modalities will be assessed relative to the clinical reference standard of genetic analysis of the fetus or phenotypic characterization and genetic analysis of the newborn.
NCT00424385
Eligible patients will be enrolled in one of 4 cohorts where each cohort will allow 3 patients to be on study. Patients will receive both study drugs on escalated dosing schedule until the maximum of 400 mg PO BID is reached for both drugs or toxicity is established. Once the pre-specified 400 mg by mouth two times a day (PO BID) dosing for both drugs is reached without toxicity, the study will close for accrual. If toxicity is noted prior to reaching the 400 mg PO BID dosing, then the dosing schedule that is deemed safest as per study design will be the one used for any future phase II study.
NCT02187341
It has been shown that 5-HTP stimulates cortisol levels in plasma and saliva. Similarly, it has been shown that intense exercise stimulates an increase in plasma and salivary cortisol levels. The purpose of this study is to examine the combined effects of 5-HTP + intense exercise on plasma and salivary cortisol levels.
NCT00811473
The purpose of this study is to determine if quetiapine fumarate extended-release (quetiapine XR or SEROQUEL® XR) 150 to 300 mg/day taken by itself is effective and safe in treating children or adolescents aged 10 to 17 with bipolar depression and if so, how it compares with placebo (a non-active tablet, like a sugar pill, that looks like quetiapine).
NCT01714544
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cloderm Cream is effective for topical treatment of moderate psoriasis over 28 days.
NCT00278993
This is a multi-centre, phase II, open-label, two-stage design, single-arm study in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) with advanced (rising PSA) and/or metastatic disease and who have had prior anti-androgen therapy. The study will further explore the efficacy of E7389 by enrollment of patients into two strata: those who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for their disease (except for mitoxantrone and estramustine), and those who failed no more than one previous chemotherapeutic regimen with tubulin-binding agents such as docetaxel.
NCT01362296
This is a phase II, open-label, multicenter, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK1120212 compared with docetaxel in the second line setting for subjects with locally advanced or metastatic (Stage IV) Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring a KRAS mutation who have failed one platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen. A small subset of NSCLC subjects harboring BRAF, NRAS, or MEK1 mutations will be randomized in addition to the primary KRAS population, for exploratory purposes.
NCT00071409
Insulin is a chemical that the body needs in order to use or store sugar. It is made by a type of cell called a beta cell which resides in an organ known as the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes is a disease where the beta cells have been destroyed so that little or no insulin is made. Sugar levels rise in the blood as a result. INGAP-Peptide is being tested to attempt to create new beta cells in the pancreas, and to restore the ability to produce insulin in type 1 diabetic patients.
NCT01076452
The goal of the second phase of the study is to determine if simultaneous bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation or simultaneous bilateral globus pallidus stimulation is more effective in reducing symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.
NCT01110382
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared with meropenem in children hospitalized with complicated intra-abdominal infections.
NCT01110421
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of doripenem compared to cefepime in children hospitalized with pneumonia.
NCT00467844
The purpose of this study is to assess if Gtx-024 is effective in increasing lean body mass in subjects with muscle wasting related to cancer.
NCT00077025
This study is being carried out to see if treatment with ZD1839 (Gefitinib) combined with Arimidex (Anastrozole) has improved efficacy over Arimidex alone in preventing progression of metastatic breast cancer.
NCT01971164
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of sequential ascending doses of JTZ-951 administered for 15 days in anemic subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.
NCT00501111
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that AZD3480 improves cognition in patients with mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease, to assess the safety and tolerability of ZAD3480 and to define the optimal dose(s) to be used in future trials.
NCT00071422
Insulin is a chemical that the body needs in order to use or store sugar. It is made by a type of cell called a beta cell which resides in an organ known as the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is a disease where the beta cells are unable to meet a person's insulin needs. Sugar levels rise in the blood as a result. INGAP-Peptide is being tested to attempt to create new beta cells in the pancreas, and to improve the ability to produce insulin in type 2 diabetic patients.
