NCT00403767
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban with warfarin for the prevention of blood clots in the brain (referred to as stroke) and blood clots in other parts of the body referred to as non-central nervous system systemic embolism) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder).
NCT01144923
The main objective of this study is to determine whether interventional treatment (i.e. epidural steroids), conservative therapy, or the combination, is superior for cervical radiculopathy. One hundred and sixty eight patients with radicular neck pain will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either cervical epidural steroid injections (CESI), non-interventional management with physical therapy and medications, or a combination of the two. The first follow-up visit will be at 1-month. In patients who obtain some benefit but continue to report significant pain, either a 2nd CESI can be done, the patient's medications can be adjusted, or both in the combination group. Those patients who fail to obtain any benefit will exit the study to receive another treatment or alternative care. The second follow-up visit will be at 3-months. Similar to the 1-month follow-up, the doctor may elect to change nothing in patients who are satisfied, adjust medications, schedule the patient for another CESI, or do both in the combination group. Patients who fail to obtain any benefit can exit the study to receive alternative treatment. The final follow-up visit will be at 6 months.
NCT01338766
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of a decompression using the FDA cleared iO-Flex® System on-label in treating patients with spinal stenosis and stable grade I degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis using a precision estimate assuming a 55% positive response rate.
NCT01508026
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose combination of nebivolol and valsartan compared to monotherapy and placebo in patients with stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension.
NCT00468481
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the study drug is safe and effective
NCT00624195
CIT2 is a strategy for targeting HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy) to the CNS (Central Nervous System) in patients with HIV associated neurocognitive impairment (HNCI). The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of CNS-targeted (CNS-T) as compared to non-CNS-targeted (non-CNS-T) HAART in treating HNCI globally and in different domains of functioning known to be affected by HIV. It is hypothesized that participants in the CNS-T arm will have greater improvement in neurocognitive functioning than those in the non-CNS-T arm. The secondary goal of the study is to compare participants assigned to CNS-T and non-CNS-T HAART on measures of CNS and systemic HIV suppression (undetectable CSF and plasma VL). It is also hypothesized that although CSF viral suppression will be more frequent in the CNS-T arm, plasma viral suppression will be similar in the two treatment arms.
NCT00593957
Increased brain glutamate and its N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors found in the brain of younger Rett syndrome (RTT) patients cause toxic damage to neurons (the brain's nerve cells), and contributing to EEG spikes. Dextromethorphan (DM) acts by blocking NMDA/glutamate receptors. This study is being done to determine if DM will prevent the harmful over-stimulation of the neurons thereby reducing EEG spike activity. Treatment with DM consists of one of 3 different doses (0.25 mg/kg per day; or 2.5 mg/kg/day; or 5mg/kg/day), and aims to find out which dose if any will help improve EEG abnormalities, behavior, cognition, and reduce seizures, as well as improve breathing abnormalities, motor capabilities, bone density, and GI dysfunction. The study will include 90 females and males with RTT, 2 years-14.99 years of age, with a mutation in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene, and spikes on EEG, with or without clinical seizures.
NCT02118207
SCUBA diving frequently involves repetitive exposures over multiple days. The goal of this study was to see how exercise impacts microparticles (MPs), endothelial function, and venous gas emboli (VGE) over a series of dives. 16 divers in 2 groups each completed 6 dives. One group completed 3 control dives followed by 5 days rest then 3 dives preceded by exercise. The other group completed the opposite protocol. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) data and blood for MP analysis was collected before and after each dive. VGE were monitored via transthoracic echocardiography 30, 60, and 90 min after surfacing. Exercise before diving consisted of 60 min running outdoors including 8x4 min intervals at 90% VO2max effort.
NCT00210626
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the physical function outcomes in anemic, critically ill, trauma subjects treated with epoetin alfa (PROCRIT®) compared to placebo.
NCT00968851
This study is being conducted to determine the safety and effect on cognitive function of two different doses of an investigational medication, EVP-6124, in individuals with schizophrenia who are on chronic stable atypical anti-psychotic therapy. In addition, behavioral and psychotic symptoms will be evaluated.
NCT01683045
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the Estech COBRA Surgical System is an effective treatment for patients with irregular heart beats who are undergoing heart surgery.
NCT00677716
Cotara® is an experimental new treatment that links a radioactive isotope (iodine 131) to a targeted monoclonal antibody. This monoclonal antibody is designed to bind tumor cells and deliver radiation directly to the center of the tumor mass while minimizing effects on normal tissues. Cotara® thus literally destroys the tumor "from the inside out". This may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant type of brain cancer.
NCT01073163
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of treatment with bendamustine on cardiac repolarization as reflected by the rate-corrected QT interval by the Fridericia method (QTcF).
NCT01215955
Evidence regarding optimal methods of insulin dose adjustment is lacking in the literature. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two approaches to escalate prandial insulin therapy in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus not achieving adequate glycemic control on basal insulin.
NCT00086684
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pentosan polysulfate sodium 100 mg once a day, pentosan polysulfate sodium 100 mg three times a day, and placebo for 24 weeks for the relief of bladder pain or discomfort associated with interstitial cystitis.
NCT01073228
This study is being conducted to determine the safety and effect on cognitive function of the investigational medication, EVP-6124, in individuals with mild to moderate probable Alzheimer's disease.
NCT00113295
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of quetiapine for generalized anxiety disorder patients who remain symptomatic despite treatment with paroxetine CR.
NCT01613326
This study compared the efficacy and safety of NVA237 with tiotropium in patients with moderate to severe COPD. Tiotropium belongs to the same drug class as NVA237.
NCT01281839
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in patients who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who relapsed after previous interferon-based therapy. Patients will also receive peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin as part of their treatment.
NCT00473746
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activities of abiraterone acetate (also referred to as CB7630) in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC).
