NCT00043758

NCT00000172
Galantamine is an experimental drug being evaluated in the United States for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Results from previous clinical trials suggest that galantamine may improve cognitive performance in individuals with Alzheimer's disease. It is not a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Nerve cells in the brain responsible for memory and cognitive function communicate using a chemical called acetylcholine. Research has shown that deterioration of cells that produce acetylcholine in the brain affects thought processes. Galantamine is thought to work in two ways to increase the amount of acetylcholine available in the brain. It inhibits an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine and it also stimulates the nicotinic receptors in the brain to release more acetylcholine.
NCT00034307
This is a clinical research study designed to evaluate an investigational new medication called sitaxsentan for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (patients with NYHA functional class II, III or IV). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different doses of sitaxsentan, compared to placebo (inactive treatment) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patients who complete this trial may be eligible to take part in an extension trial (Protocol FPH01-X). Eligible patients who receive placebo in the 12-week study cross over to receive sitaxsentan for the extension trial.
NCT00006133
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effect of oral contraceptives containing low-dose synthetic estrogens and progestins on disease activity in premenopausal women with inactive, stable, or moderate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). II. Determine the effect of hormone replacement therapy with conjugated estrogens and progestins on disease activity in postmenopausal women with inactive, stable, or moderate SLE.
NCT00006135
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of long term suppressive therapy with oral acyclovir in infants with herpes simplex virus infection limited to skin, eyes, and mouth. II. Determine the neurologic outcome in these patients when treated with this regimen. III. Evaluate the significance of a positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result when all other CSF parameters remain normal in these patients. IV. Correlate the time to first positive CSF PCR result in the first 12 months of life with clinical neurological assessment in these patients when treated with this regimen. V. Determine whether the continuous administration of this drug suppresses recurrent skin lesions in these patients. VI. Determine the safety of this regimen in these patients.
NCT00002441
The purpose of this study is to see if an HIV vaccine, AIDSVAX B/B, can protect adults who are at risk from becoming infected with HIV. Patients who become infected despite immunization will be studied to see if receiving the vaccine before becoming infected will help keep HIV levels (viral load) low.
NCT00005012
The purpose of this study is to see if it is effective to give PEG-Intron (PEG-IFN) to HIV-infected patients who are not doing well with their current anti-HIV drug combination (HAART).
NCT00002227
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give efavirenz plus stavudine plus lamivudine to patients who have never taken anti-HIV drugs.
NCT00002179
To evaluate the ability of the combination of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine to suppress HIV-1 infection as measured by: (1) the maintenance of HIV-1 serum viral RNA below the limit of detection of the most sensitive validated assay (ultradirect assay) and (2) absence of evidence of infectious virus in lymph node, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and semen. It is hypothesized that the administration of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine will result in: 1. No evidence of infectious virus in lymph node tissue, CSF, PBMCs, and semen samples in 50% of patients who have undetectable viral RNA by the most sensitive validated assay available (ultradirect assay) for at least 48 weeks. 2. Sustained suppression of HIV-1 infection as measured by a decrease in serum viral RNA to below the limit of detection of the ultradirect assay for at least 48 weeks in at least 25% of patients. 3. Suppression of HIV-1 infection as measured by a decrease in serum viral RNA to below the limit of detection of the standard Amplicor assay (i.e., negative) in at least 90% of patients by Week 16. 4. Suppression of HIV-1 infection, suggesting eradication of the virus as measured by maintenance of serum viral RNA to below the limit of detection of the ultradirect assay for at least 24 weeks after discontinuation of indinavir, zidovudine, and lamivudine in patients who have maintained this level of suppression for at least 120 weeks on therapy.
NCT00002447
The purpose of this study is to compare 2 anti-HIV drug combinations.
NCT00002389
To compare the durability of the viral load response following 48 weeks of treatment with 1592U89/lamivudine (3TC)/zidovudine (ZDV) versus 3TC/ZDV alone. To compare the early antiviral activity following 16 weeks treatment with 1592U89/3TC/ZDV versus 3TC/ZDV alone as demonstrated by the proportion of subjects with viral load \< 400 copies/ml, plasma HIV-1 RNA profiles and CD4+ profiles. To assess the safety and tolerance following 16 and 48 weeks of treatment with 1592U89/3TC/ZDV versus 3TC/ZDV alone.
NCT00043446
The purpose of this study is to determine whether T900607-sodium is effective and safe in treating ovarian cancer.
NCT00002213
The purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and effective to give 1592U89 plus 141W94 plus DMP 266 to patients with HIV who have developed resistance to indinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, or nelfinavir after at least 20 weeks of protease inhibitor treatment. This study also examines how long this combination therapy is effective before patients develop resistance to it.
NCT00002356
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ISIS 2922 in AIDS patients with Cytomegalovirus ( CMV ) retinitis who are unresponsive or intolerant to ganciclovir and/or foscarnet but are otherwise ineligible for ISIS Pharmaceuticals' controlled trials OR who have failed ISIS 2922 therapy on another controlled clinical trial. PER 2/8/96 AMENDMENT: Patients must rollover from another ISIS 2922 controlled trial.
NCT00002156
To determine the clinically safe and effective dose of intravitreal ISIS 2922 alone and as an additive antiviral therapy to ganciclovir in AIDS patients with cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis.
NCT00002187
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two dosage schedules for ISIS 2922 in the treatment of advanced cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis
NCT00100087
The study will investigate the safety and feasibility of using the TheraSight(TM) Brachytherapy System for treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
NCT00001995
To determine if a drug regimen containing rifabutin will eradicate or decrease the numbers of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) organisms in blood, improve the symptoms associated with MAC infection, and increase survival in patients with AIDS. To assess the safety of the drug regimen.
NCT00002322
To determine the tolerance and antiviral response of two different doses of atevirdine mesylate (U-87201E) in symptomatic HIV-positive patients with CD4 counts of 50-350 cells/mm3, who also take zidovudine (AZT).
