NCT00035321
The purposes of this study are to determine: * Whether olanzapine plus fluoxetine in combination will help patients with treatment-resistant major depression. * The safety of olanzapine plus fluoxetine in combination, plus and any side effects that might be associated with the combination. * The effectiveness of olanzapine plus fluoxetine compared to olanzapine and fluoxetine alone.
NCT00045760
Severe sepsis is defined as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that results from infection and is associated with acute organ dysfunction. It usually results from bacterial infections, but it may occur in response to other pathogens, such as fungi, viruses, and parasites.
NCT00001550
Stiff-man Syndrome (SMS) is a chronic, progressive disorder of the nervous system. It is associated with painful muscle spasms and rigidity involving muscles of the limbs, trunk, and neck. The cause of the disease is unknown, but researchers believe it may be a result of an autoimmune process. Patients with Stiff-man Syndrome may produce antibodies that attack enzymes required for the normal function of the nervous system. Steroids, plasmapheresis, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) have been given to relieve some of the symptoms of Stiff-man Syndrome. However, none of these therapies have proven to be significantly effective. This study will attempt to determine the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) for the treatment of Stiff-mann Syndrome. Patients participating in this study will be divided into two groups. Group one will receive 2 injections of IVIg once a month for three months. Group two will receive 2 injections of placebo "inactive sterile water" once a month for three months. Following the three months of treatment, group one will begin taking the placebo and group two will begin taking IVIg for an additional 3 months. The drug will be considered effective if patients receiving it experience a significant improvement in muscle function, mobility, and stiffness.
NCT00015808
This study will determine the highest dose of idebonone that can safely be given to patients with Friedrich's ataxia, an inherited degenerative disease that causes loss of muscle coordination, speech problems, weakness and sensory loss. Enlargement of the left ventricle (the large pumping chamber of the heart) is also common in this disease. In studies in France and Canada, patients with Friedrich's ataxia who were given idebonone, an antioxidant similar to the dietary supplement coenzyme Q, had a decrease in the size of their left ventricle. Patients 5 years and older with Friedrich's ataxia may be eligible for this study. Pregnant and lactating women may not participate. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical examination and a review of genetic studies. Patients who have not had genetic studies will be offered genetic counseling and testing to confirm or rule out Friedrich's ataxia. Participants will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 3 days. They will have blood and urine tests and a heart evaluation, including an echocardiogram-a procedure that uses sound waves to produce images of the heart, and an electrocardiogram-a study of the electrical activity of the heart. When these tests have been completed, patients will take an idebonone capsule. They will be monitored for side effects for 72 hours. Blood samples will be collected through an intravenous catheter (flexible plastic tube placed in a vein) 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the drug is taken to determine how long it takes for the drug to be eliminated from the body. Patients will return for a follow-up visit within 1 to 8 weeks. Those who experienced no serious side effects may receive another, higher dose of the drug, with at least 6 days between doses.
NCT00046137
The purpose of this study is to compare treatment with both teriparatide and raloxifene with teriparatide alone. The study will evaluate any side effects that may be associated with the two drugs and may help to determine whether teriparatide and raloxifene together can help patients with osteoporosis more than teriparatide alone.
NCT00042679
The purposes of this study are to determine the following: Whether LY900003 plus gemcitabine and carboplatin can make your tumor smaller or disappear, and for how long. If treatment with LY900003 plus gemcitabine and carboplatin can help you live longer. The safety of LY900003 plus gemcitabine and carboplatin and any side effects that might be associated with the combination of these three drugs. How LY900003 is distributed and broken down by your body when it is given with carboplatin and gemcitabine. Whether LY900003 affects the way gemcitabine and carboplatin are distributed and broken down by your body.
NCT00065312
The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational drug is safe and efficacious for poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT00048451
The objective of this study is to determine whether paricalcitol is safe and effective compared to placebo in reducing elevated serum PTH levels in patients with chronic kidney disease.
NCT00042575
The Purposes of this Study are to determine: The safety of duloxetine and any side effects that might be associated with it. Whether duloxetine can help patients with major depression. It is possible that information collected during this study will be analyzed by the sponsor in the future to evaluate duloxetine for other possible uses or for other medical or scientific purposes other than those currently proposed. Duloxetine might not have any good effects for you.
NCT00038519
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and efficacy of Amprenavir/ritonavir or saquinavir/ritonavir in HIV infected patients that have failed Kaletra as their second protease inhibitor based HAART.
NCT00035035
Definition: This study will compare the drug GEMZAR to a combination of GEMZAR plus ALIMTA for the treatment of cancer of the pancreas. Patients may be able to participate in this study if they have cancer in their pancreas that cannot be removed by surgery OR that has spread to a new site in their body.
NCT00044187
Olanzapine is currently marketed for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute manic episodes with bipolar 1 disorder. This Anti-obesity Agent is currently marketed for the management of obesity. In this study, the Anti-obesity Agent is being tested to see if it can treat weight gain that may be associated with taking olanzapine. The purposes of this study are to determine the safety of olanzapine when given in combination with the Anti-obesity Agent and any side effects that might be associated with it and whether weight-gain agent can help treat weight gain that may be associated with taking olanzapine.
NCT00141349
To determine the onset of action, safety and toleration of different formulations and doses of UK-369,003 in patients with erectile dysfunction. Patients should have been previously treated with PDE5 inhibitors and have been responders to the drugs. Duration of treatment is 4 weeks.
NCT00154141
A comparison of a fibrin sealant versus manual compression in stopping surgical bleeding during vascular procedures.
NCT00141180

NCT00034502
This is a non-randomized study in patients who have received prior 5-FU therapy for colorectal cancer. The objective of this trial is to establish a maximum tolerated dose of ALIMTA and irinotecan given in combination as well as to assess the safety and efficacy of this combination for patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. ALIMTA and irinotecan will be given every 21 days.
NCT00051506
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects (good and bad) of ALIMTA plus Carboplatin or ALIMTA plus Cisplatin on you and your small cell lung cancer.
NCT00034125
To determine the safety and efficacy of LY353381 when compared to tamoxifen in women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00097383
This is a non-randomized Phase 2 portion of a study testing ALIMTA and epirubicin in combination for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Epirubicin is a well-established drug for the therapy of breast cancer. Both ALIMTA and epirubicin have been combined with other drugs but they have not yet been combined with each other. It is expected that the patient will benefit from the different mechanisms of action of the two drugs.
