NCT00096928
This was a multicenter, prospective, 5-year surveillance study of approximately 5000 Raptiva-treated patients and approximately 500 non-Raptiva treated patients (formerly 2500 comparison patients who were treated with a biologic therapy other than Raptiva) with chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who were candidates for treatment with Raptiva.
NCT00235027
Patient safety is at the forefront of critical issues in health care. Medications are the single most frequent cause of adverse events, and in the inpatient setting adverse drug events (ADEs) are common, expensive, injurious to patients, and often preventable. Relatively little, however, is known about the frequency of ADEs in the ambulatory setting, how to monitor for outpatient ADEs, or on the impact of prevention strategies such as computerization of prescribing supplemented by decision-support.
NCT02216513
The investigators will test the central hypothesis that DFO treatment after SAH may improve cerebrovascular regulation, mitigate ischemic neural injury, and serve as an effective neuroprotectant against delayed ischemic injury after SAH.
NCT00951795

The Pima CD4 Test consists of the Pima™ CD4 cartridge and Pima™ Analyzer to identify and determine the absolute counts of mature helper (CD3+/CD4+) T-lymphocytes in whole blood.
NCT02200120
The purpose of this study is to examine the placement, timing, associated complications, efficacy of temporary and tunneled catheters for renal replacement therapy in patient with acute kidney injury.
NCT00825825
Escitalopram (Lexapro) and citalopram (Celexa) are similar selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors that alter blood flow to the amygdala and other brain structures involved in regulating mood. Escitalopram consists of S-citalopram while citalopram contains both S-citalopram and R-citalopram (racemic citalopram). There is evidence that R-citalopram may block the effects of S-citalopram. The hypothesis being tested is that because of the antagonist effect of R-citalopram, S-citalopram will have a greater effect on the mood circuit than racemic citalopram when equal doses of S-citalopram are administered. The study design consists of a two week medication period followed by blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) while viewing affective visual stimuli.
NCT02193945
The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review and further characterize anatomic and symptomatic changes over six months immediately following treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) with JETREA® (ocriplasmin), including incidence, time to onset and resolution of anatomy and symptoms.
NCT01117012

NCT00148525
The purpose of this study is to test two different approaches to helping individuals who have recently starting eating a healthful diet maintain those healthy changes. This study will deliver a health program using an automated telephone system. The programs will be designed to help individuals maintain a healthy diet change for a lifetime.
NCT00603265
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ADL5859 in relieving the pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared with placebo and duloxetine (a marketed drug approved for the treatment of painful DPN). The pain symptoms of DPN are thought to be due to damage to nerves caused by the diabetes.
NCT01504295
It is proposed to test metadoxine (MTDX) that it is hypothesized to be significantly beneficial for the treatment of alcoholism and ALD. Metadoxine is currently approved in Europe for acute and chronic alcohol intoxication but has never been tested in the US. Furthermore, MTDX is used in Europe to treat ALD. Preliminary evidence shows that MTDX reduces alcohol consumption in AD individuals. If the role of MTDX in reducing alcohol consumption and improve liver function is confirmed by a rigorous study design, then MTDX might represent a truly innovative pharmacotherapy for AD, given the potential to be used for AD individuals with ALD. However until this proposal, MTDX has never been investigated as a treatment for AD able to reduce both alcohol consumption and improve alcohol-related liver damage via a double-blind placebo-controlled study. This project therefore proposes to conduct a 12-week (followed by a 3-month follow-up), double-blind, placebo-controlled, between-subject randomized clinical trial with MTDX (500mg t.i.d.) in AD individuals.
NCT00413322
This is a study to assess the combination of PXD101 and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)in patients with advanced solid tumors. The primary goal of the study is to understand the safety, anti-tumor activity, and how the study drug behaves within the body when given with 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU).
NCT00507507
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the antiviral activity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF) monotherapy versus emtricitabine (FTC) plus tenofovir DF combination therapy for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) in participants in the immune tolerant phase of HBV infection. The efficacy of tenofovir DF monotherapy versus FTC plus tenofovir DF combination therapy was evaluated for suppression of the virus (decrease in HBV DNA), serological response (generation of antibodies to the virus), biochemical response (changes in liver enzymes), and the development of drug-resistant mutations. The safety and tolerability of both tenofovir DF monotherapy and FTC plus tenofovir DF were evaluated by routine monitoring for adverse events and changes in laboratory parameters. Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive tenofovir DF monotherapy or FTC plus tenofovir DF. All subjects were to continue on blinded study medication until the last subject reached Week 192. Participants who permanently discontinued study drug (on or before Week 192) were followed for a 24-week treatment-free follow-up period, or until initiation of alternative HBV therapy, whichever occurred first. Subjects who discontinued study drug on or after Week 48 because of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss or seroconversion to antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs), however, were to have returned for their regularly scheduled through Week 192 and every 16 weeks thereafter until the last subject reached Week 192.
NCT00890305
This clinical trial will be performed in previously untreated patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the study drug, CT-011, in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy (FOLFOX4 or mFOLFOX6) compared with treatment by FOLFOX alone.
NCT00131261
The purpose of this open-label, non-randomized trial is to assess the safety and effectiveness of PXD101, both alone and in combination with dexamethasone, in patients with advanced multiple myeloma. PXD101 is a new, potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. Various members of this class of drugs have shown activity in preclinical studies and in initial clinical trials of multiple myeloma and lymphoma. Furthermore, HDAC inhibitors, including PXD101, have been shown to sensitize myeloma cells to the killing effect of other chemotherapeutic agents, including dexamethasone, a well-established agent in relapsing myeloma.
NCT00505934
Keppra injection is approved in the US as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy. The objective of the current study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, of this formulation in children aged 1 month to 4 years.
NCT01656772
This study will evaluate the use of a robotic device that is remotely controlled to maneuver a circular mapping catheter in the left atrium during Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures.
NCT01625390
Haemophilia is a disorder, usually genetic, affecting mostly male individuals, in which one of the proteins needed to form blood clots (FVIII) is missing or not present in sufficient levels. In a person with haemophilia, the clotting process is much slower and the person experiences bleeding episodes that can result in serious problems and potential disability. The current haemophilia standard of care is to maintain FVIII activity level above 1%. Sometimes, patients can develop antibodies (so called "inhibitors") against FVIII and it is no longer effective at controlling bleeds. Bleeds in these patients are currently treated using other proteins involved in the clotting process. The purpose of this study is to investigate how effectively BAY86-6150 may stop acute bleeds in "inhibitor" patients. This study consists of two parts, A and B. The purpose of part A is to find the most effective yet tolerable out of four doses of BAY86-6150 with regard to efficacy and safety (dose-finding part). Part A is expected to last 9 - 29 months. The purpose of part B is to confirm efficacy and safety of the dose found in part A in all participating patients (confirmatory part). Part B is expected to last 12-32 months. Approximately 60 male subjects 12 to 62 years-of-age with moderate or severe haemophilia A or B, with inhibitors to FVIII or FIX, who have had 4 or more bleeding episodes in the last 6 months, will participate in this study. Patient's bleeds will be treated with BAY86-6150 and with a rescue medication if no response is made to BAY86-6150. Patients will attend the treatment centre at regular intervals and be required to keep an electronic diary.
NCT01755143
