NCT00306150
The purpose of this study is to assess if aprotinin (BAYA0128), given intravenously during your surgery, is safe and can help reduce the need for a blood transfusion during bladder surgery.
NCT01917630
To determine the effects of 12 weeks administration of different dose levels of ALV003 on the mucosal lining of the small intestine and symptoms in celiac disease patients.
NCT00813384
First in human, open-label, sequential dose escalation and expansion study of AMG 208 in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
NCT01978080
The specific aim of this study is to evaluate if tremor severity and quality of life can be improved more using continuous home monitoring along with traditional assessments versus traditional assessments alone.
NCT00170547
This protocol is to compare the immune response of different influenza vaccines given by two different routes of administration in healthy adults ages 18 to 64 years.
NCT01408303
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of adding Epanova (2 g or 4 g daily) to an optimal statin monotherapy for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol in subjects with persistent hypertriglyceridemia and high risk for cardiovascular disease.
NCT00480545
Indirect evidence suggests that hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle also affect the bleeding and clotting system. This study looks at two sensitive laboratory tests at four time points during the menstrual cycle to determine if there is a natural variation in coagulation and platelet function. Laboratory tests in healthy subjects will be compared to women with von Willebrand's disorder type 1, a bleeding disorder. In the future, these laboratory tests may help in the diagnosis of bleeding and clotting disorders and to design treatments for women with abnormal menstrual bleeding.
NCT01853917
The purpose of this study is to evaluate why the majority of HIV infected women in the Harris County Health District system who are pregnant do not come to clinic for their HIV disease after they have a baby through questionaires administered prepartum and questionaires and structured interviews postpartum. The study will ask subjects questions about HIV, drug use, depression and social problems.
NCT00523198
The purpose of the study is: * to correlate salivary cortisol to free serum cortisol (as salivary cortisol is considered to be almost complete free cortisol) and, * to correlate free serum cortisol to total serum cortisol levels Both in patients with septic shock (severe sepsis requiring vasopressors). We believe that: * total serum cortisol does not correlate with free serum cortisol in patient with septic shock and, * that salivary cortisol correlates with free serum cortisol and can be used to determine the level of free serum cortisol.
NCT01074125
This is a research study for people with high blood phosphorus levels who are on dialysis. This medical condition can cause weakening of the bones and damage other organs. This can lead to many health problems, and sometimes death. Phosphorus is in much of the food we eat, and is helpful to us in small amounts. Patients with kidney failure have trouble getting rid of the phosphorus eaten in food. Dialysis can help remove some of the phosphorus, but often patients must take a phosphate binder like PhosLo®, Renagel®, or Renvela® to bring the blood phosphorus levels back to normal. The purpose of this study is to see if KRX-0502 (ferric citrate) is safe and effective as a phosphate binder.
NCT00798317
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin, administered as an intravitreal injection, in subjects with focal vitreomacular adhesion. In previously performed clinical trials, some patients treated with intravitreal microplasmin have had resolution of their underlying condition, including macular hole closure, without need for vitrectomy. This clinical trial is justified because the sponsor believes the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
NCT02309749
This is a pilot to review the feasibility of a program that assists patients towards therapy compliance by scheduled intervention through the first month of therapy. The hypothesis of this study is that the trial program will function as intended and average patient adherence will be over 4 hours per night.
NCT01026233
The purpose of this study is to evaluate cardiac safety of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) in patients with CD30-positive cancers. The study will assess electrical activity of the heart before and after brentuximab vedotin administration. Patients who have stable or improving disease may receive up to 1 year of brentuximab vedotin treatment.
NCT00791479
This is a study to demonstrate that different doses of once-weekly LY2189265 injected subcutaneously will have dose proportional effect on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 12 weeks in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT00914693
The aim of the present study is to prove efficacy and safety of a new contraceptive patch.
NCT00982020
Open-label safety study of oral olanzapine treatment in adolescents, aged 13 to 17 years, with bipolar I disorder (manic or mixed episodes) or schizophrenia.
NCT01674712
This is a double-blind, randomized study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two fixed combinations of fenofibrate / simvastatin 145/20 mg and fenofibrate / simvastatin 145/40 mg tablets vs. matching monotherapies in subjects with abnormal fat (lipids) in the blood and at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Fenofibrate is a treatment that lowers fat in blood. It is prescribed in patients with high levels of triglycerides (TG). The drug has been marketed in more than 80 countries since 1975. Simvastatin is also used for the treatment of patients with a high level of cholesterol. These have also been marketed worldwide for more than 20 years. It is important to treat high levels of fats in the blood because it has been shown that even mildly elevated level of lipids in the blood can lead to diseases of the blood vessels. It has been shown in several studies and in clinical practice that the combination of fenofibrate plus simvastatin can lead to improved effects on blood fats, compared to treatment with simvastatin or fenofibrate alone. The main objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of the two fixed-combinations (FC) -fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/20 mg tablet and fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/40 mg tablet in reducing TG and increasing high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) versus simvastatin 20 mg or 40 mg, and in reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) versus fenofibrate 145 mg.
NCT01389700
Primary Objective: \- To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous (IV) dose of SAR279356 administered to intensive care unit (ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation Secondary Objectives: * To determine the safety and tolerability of SAR279356 * To evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of SAR279356 * Exploratory efficacy of SAR279356 on prevention of bacterial infections
NCT00787995
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
NCT00433212
The machines and oxygen used to help very premature babies breathe can have side-effects, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Infants with BPD get more complications (a higher death rate, a longer time in intensive care and on assisted ventilation, more hospital readmissions in the first year of life, and more learning problems) than infants who do not develop BPD. Doctors try to remove the tube in the wind-pipe that links the baby to the breathing machine as soon as possible. However, small babies get tired, and still require help to breathe. One of the standard and common techniques to help them breathe without a tube in the wind-pipe is to use simple pressure support, nasal continuous positive airway pressure or nCPAP. This supports breathing a little, but it is often not enough to prevent the need to go back on the breathing machine. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is similar to nCPAP, but also gives some breaths, or extra support, to babies through a small tube in the nose. NIPPV is safe and effective, and already in use as an alternate "standard" therapy. The main research question: After being weaned from the breathing machine, is NIPPV better than nCPAP in preventing BPD in premature babies weighing 999 grams or less at birth?
