NCT01209702
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have failed treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and are naïve to tumor necrsos factor (TNF) antagonist therapy. In Part 1 of the study, patients will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) or placebo every 4 weeks for 12 weeks. In Part 2, patients will be randomized to receive RoActemra at either 8 mg/kg or 4 mg/kg IV or placebo every 4 weeks for 24 weeks. The double-blind treatment period will be followed by open-label treatment with RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg iv every 4 weeks until Week 208 for all patients. Anticipated time on study treatment is 208 weeks.
NCT00114257
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine and FR901228 in treating patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes or myeloproliferative disorders. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and FR901228, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. FR901228 may also stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Giving decitabine together with FR901228 may kill more cancer cells.
NCT00005843
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of R115777 in treating patients who have metastatic pancreatic cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
NCT00004229
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of endostatin in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors. Endostatin may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.
NCT00570986
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of ABT-874 versus placebo in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
NCT00003850
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of thalidomide in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer. Thalidomide may stop the growth of head and neck cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.
NCT00161681
The purpose of this study is to determine whether LNG/EE is effective in the treatment of menstrual cycle related symptoms.
NCT00802100
This study will compare the safety and effectiveness of three different antipsychotic medications, as well as the use of other medications to limit treatment side effects, in adults with schizophrenia.
NCT00137345
The purpose of this study is to determine if one drug is superior to another with regard to safety and the preservation of renal function after a kidney transplant.
NCT01355198
HIV infection is associated the development of increased oxidative stress and deficiency of glutathione (GSH), the dominant endogenous antioxidant protein, but the underlying mechanisms contributing to GSH deficiency are hitherto unknown. Furthermore GSH metabolism has not been studied in HIV patients, in whom the burden of risk factors promoting oxidative stress is highest. Our previous studies in non-HIV human subjects with diabetes-related oxidative stress and GSH deficiency have demonstrated that the latter is due to decreased synthesis of GSH. Importantly, short-term dietary supplementation with the simple GSH precursor amino-acids cysteine and glycine, boosted GSH synthesis and cellular concentrations, corrected GSH deficiency, and reduced oxidative stress and oxidant damage. The current proposal will study whether (1) defective synthesis underlies GSH deficiency in patients with HIV, and will test a simple, inexpensive and rational therapy based on protein supplementation to improve GSH synthesis and concentrations and lower markers of oxidative stress and oxidant damage in these patients; (2) study if correction of GSH deficiency is asssociated with any changes in (a) impaired mitochondrial fuel oxidation in the fasted and insulin stimulated states; (b) insulin sensitivity; (c) body composition and anthropometry; (d) forearm muscle strength; (e) plasma biochemistry, and (f) quality of life indices in these subjects.
NCT01553123
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ulipristal acetate is effective in the treatment of females with anemia associated with uterine leiomyomas. The safety of this product will also be evaluated.
NCT00003191
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of fenretinide in treating children who have solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
NCT00003765
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of O6-benzylguanine and carmustine in treating children who have refractory CNS tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
NCT00693173
The study compares two patient setups (Standard Prone vs. Genital Drop Technique) with identical radiation treatment technique and parameters. After the two setups have been planned, the treating faculty reviews the setups and will choose the setup he feels that will give the patient improved dosimetry to the local regions and hopefully reduce toxicity and improve treatment tolerability.
NCT00366704
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of bifeprunox or risperidone on the body weight of patients with schizophrenia.
NCT00164125
To evaluate the safety of extended use of polyethyleneglycol3350 laxative in constipated patients.
NCT01734668
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the clinical performance of the Sofia RSV FIA with specimens from symptomatic pediatric subjects who are less than nineteen (19) years of age.
NCT00195260
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral SKI-606 (bosutinib) administered on a daily schedule to subjects with advanced malignant solid tumors and to define a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in this subject population.
NCT00164164
The purpose of the this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of HalfLytely (2L NULYTELY + 20mg bisacodyl) to NULYTELY for preparation prior to colonoscopy.
NCT00427011
Phase IIb open-label extension study for patients with Parkinson's Disease. All patients will receive active study drug. The study will involve outpatient visits only. Patients who completed Study E2007-A001-214 (Cohorts I and II) and who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled and enter the 12-week Titration Phase (from "Dispense Study Drug" at Week 0 \[Visit 2\] through Week 12 \[Visit 7\]) followed by the Maintenance Phase (from Week 12 \[Visit 7\] to end of study).
