NCT00465088
To demonstrate that niacin ER and simvastatin (NS) tablets, when compared to atorvastatin (Lipitor®; Pfizer, Inc.), has superior high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) elevating effects at Week 12 in subjects with type II hyperlipidemia or mixed dyslipidemia who are currently off lipid-modifying therapy. This was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) study.
NCT00100386
Primary Outcome Measures:Incidence density of colonization with MRSA or VRE (number of new colonization events per 1000 patient days at risk) during the intervention phase. Secondary Outcome Measures:The effect of the 2 strategies on the incidence density of colonization with MRSA and VRE individually will be determined and compared descriptively. The effect of the strategies on the cumulative incidence of bacteremia caused by MRSA and VRE will be determined to assess the clinical relevance of the strategy in preventing infection. The trial will evaluate the frequency of hand hygiene and the use of gloves and gowns by healthcare workers to substantiate whether the effect of the intensive control strategy is mediated, as expected, by an increase in the use of gloves and gowns due to an increase in the number of patients cared for using Contact Precautions.

NCT00550004
This will be a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, study of six 28-day treatment cycles for patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer. The study will be conducted at approximately 55 sites in the North American, Europe, and South America. Approximately 153 subjects will be enrolled in a randomization (ratio 2:1).
NCT00235391
This is an open-label, non-randomized, multi-center trial designed to provide expanded access of deferasirox to patients with congenital disorders of red blood cells and chronic iron overload from blood transfusions who cannot adequately be treated with locally approved iron chelators.
NCT00492284
The objective of this study is to determine if combination therapy (reduced-fluence Visudyne followed by Lucentis \[within 2 hours\] or either of two regimens of reduced-fluence Visudyne followed by Lucentis-Dexamethasone triple therapy \[within 2 hours\]) reduces retreatment rates compared with Lucentis monotherapy while maintaining similar vision outcomes and an acceptable safety profile.
NCT01134159
Multicenter, retrospective registry to collect 9-12 month follow-up data to evaluate major adverse cardiac events in patients whom have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention and received either Taxus Liberte or Xience V.
NCT00853463
Brigham and Women's Hospital will coordinate a Quality Improvement Initiative at other hospitals that focuses on whether physician notification prior to discharge of high risk VTE patients will reduce the incidence of VTE after hospital discharge.
NCT00679328
This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the OP device for the treatment of nonunion bone fractures and to compare the healing rates of the OP Device to that of autograft.
NCT01098734
Welichem Biotech has developed a small molecule drug candidate, WBI-1001, that selectively targets the pathogenic features of inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis (a form of eczema).The purpose of this clinical trial is to further test the safety and efficacy of WBI-1001 as a topically applied cream over an extended period of 12 weeks on patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
NCT00975455
The purpose of the study is to evaluate subjects with gross or microscopic hematuria undergoing scheduled cystoscopy to determine the absence or presence of bladder cancer.
NCT01201460
The principal goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of plasma glucose testing in private dental practice. A second aim was was to assess prevalence of plasma glucose abnormalities in dental patients seen by (DPBRN) practitioner-investigators.
NCT00644293
To determine if a single 2.0-g dose of azithromycin SR is at least as effective as a 3-day course of azithromycin (500 mg once daily for 3 days) when used to treat adolescents and adults with strep throat, and to assess efficacy and safety for both treatment regimens.
NCT00942994
The purpose of the study is to compare the combination of aliskiren, amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) versus the combination of aliskiren and amlodipine as therapy in minority Stage 2 hypertensive patients.
NCT00164463
This substudy of TBTC Studies 27 and 28 compares 1) the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin alone versus moxifloxacin administered with rifampin in healthy volunteers and 2) the pharmacokinetics of moxifloxacin among patients with tuberculosis being treated with multidrug therapy (isoniazid or ethambutol, rifampin, and pyrazinamide) to those of healthy volunteers receiving moxifloxacin plus rifampin. It also evaluates the association between polymorphisms of MDR1 genotype (P-glycoprotein) and rifampin pharmacokinetic parameters, the effect of polymorphisms of MDR1 genotype and/or rifampin pharmacokinetics on isoniazid pharmacokinetic parameters adjusted for N-acetyltransferase genotype (NAT2), and determines by multivariate regression analyses the associations between moxifloxacin or rifampin pharmacokinetic parameters and markers of tuberculosis disease severity including the covariates of two-month culture positivity, cavitary lung disease, Body Mass Index, weight, duration of study treatment prior to PK, co-morbidities and C-reactive protein. Healthy volunteers and TB patients receive frequent scheduled blood draws during a 24 hour period after ingesting a dose of TB drugs.
NCT00024557
IL13-PE38QQR is an oncology drug product consisting of IL13 (interleukin-13) and PE38QQR (a bacteria toxin). IL3-PE38QQR is a protein that exhibits cell killing activity against a variety of IL13 receptor-positive tumor cell lines indicating that it may show a therapeutic benefit. In reciprocal competition experiments, the interaction between IL13-PE38QQR and the IL13 receptors was shown to be highly specific for human glioma cells. Patients will receive IL13-PE38QQR via a catheter placed directly into the brain tumor. Tumor recurrence will be confirmed by biopsy. The next day, patients will start a continuous 48-hour infusion of IL13-PE38QQR into the tumor. The dose (concentration) will be increased in the pre-resection infusion until the endpoint is reached (histologic evidence of tumor cytotoxicity or a maximum tolerated dose). Tumor resection will be planned for one week after biopsy, plus or minus 1 day. A histologically-effective concentration (HEC) will be determined using pathologic observations. At the end of resection, three catheters will be placed in brain tissue next to the resection site and assessed within 24 hours using MRI. On the second day after surgery, IL13-PE38QQR infusion will begin and will continue for 4 days. The lowest pre-resection IL13-PE38QQR concentration will be used as the starting dose for post-resection infusions. After an HEC or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined, the pre-resection infusion will no longer be administered. Subsequent patients will have tumor resection and placement of three peri-tumoral catheters at study entry. IL13-PE38QQR will be infused starting on the second day after surgery and continuing for 4 days. Escalation of the post-resection IL13-PE38QQR concentration will be continued until the previously-defined HEC or MTD is reached, after which duration of the post-resection infusion will be increased in one day increments for up to 6 days. If a post-resection MTD is obtained, there will be no increase in duration of infusion. In the final stage of the study, catheters will be placed 2 days after tumor resection, and a 4-day IL13-PE38QQR infusion will begin the day after catheter placement. Patients will be observed clinically and radiographically for toxicity and duration of tumor control.
