NCT01368536
This was a study to assess the safety and efficacy of Valturna and amlodipine or Valturna and chlorthalidone when compared to Valturna alone in patients with stage 2 hypertension and diabetes mellitus 2.
NCT00771667
A medical research study in adult patients who have moderate to severe Crohn's disease designed to determine whether or not treatment with an experimental drug called ustekinumab (or CNTO1275) is safe or not and to determine if the treatment will reduce the symptoms of Crohn's disease.
NCT00816907
This study will test the usefulness of the medication metformin in treating people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are overweight and also taking antipsychotic medications.
NCT00003368
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Irinotecan may be effective in treating patients with abnormal liver or kidney function or who have received radiation therapy. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients with solid tumors or lymphoma who have abnormal liver or kidney function or who have had previous radiation therapy to the pelvis.
NCT00572221
The overall goal of this project is to increase the number of high quality nursing homes in Massachusetts. The study will evaluate an intervention involving two active treatment arms: one implementing a CQI program and a second implementing the CQI program and specific protocol programming. The intervention will be implemented in 24 nursing homes identified as performing, over multiple quality indicator domains, at a poor or average level across multiple outcome domains.
NCT00029497
This study investigates the role of two active interventions and their placebo effects in randomized control trials. The study conducts two parallel trials of treatments for upper extremity pain secondary to repetitive stress disorder, including carpal tunnel syndrome. The active interventions are amitriptyline and acupuncture. The placebo are sham acupuncture device and placebo pill.
NCT00627640
Parkinson's Disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder in which there is a progressive loss of dopamine-containing neurons. The understanding that PD is a syndrome of dopamine (DA) deficiency led to the introduction in the clinical practice of L-dopa, a precursor of DA that crosses the blood brain barrier, and also to the use of selective inhibitors of MAO-B, the major DA metabolising enzyme in man. Safinamide is an inhibitor of MAO-B. This is a phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of safinamide (50 and 100 mg p.o. q.a.m.) compared to placebo as add-on therapy to a stable dose to levodopa in subjects with advance idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. The principal efficacy measure is the increase in mean daily "on" time during the 18-hr diary recording period.
NCT00060372
This phase I trial is studying how well ipilimumab works after allogeneic stem cell transplant in treating patients with persistent or progressive cancer. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
NCT00002742
RATIONALE: Antifungal therapy with liposomal nystatin may reduce fever and neutropenia in patients undergoing treatment for hematologic cancer. It is not yet known whether liposomal nystatin is more effective than standard amphotericin B in treating patients with fever and neutropenia who are receiving chemotherapy for hematologic cancer or bone marrow transplantation for leukemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal nystatin compared with standard amphotericin B to treat fever and neutropenia in patients receiving chemotherapy for hematologic cancer or bone marrow transplantation for leukemia.
NCT00026364
Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 combined with irinotecan, leucovorin, and fluorouracil in treating patients who have locally advanced, locally recurrent, or metastatic colorectal cancer. Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of tumor cells and slow the growth of the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining ZD 1839 with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
NCT00047437
The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of exercise training for individuals with congestive heart failure (CHF).
NCT00198510
The purpose of this study is to determine if intravitreal injection of Vitrase (ovine hyaluronidase) clears vitreous hemorrhage
NCT00198523
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the bioequivalence of the combination test agent, prednisolone acetate 1.0% and tobramycin 0.3% ophthalmic suspension compared to PredForte (prednisolone acetate 1.0%) ophthalmic suspension. Bioequivalence will be measured by comparing aqueous humor concentrations of prednisolone acetate.
NCT01536145
This study represents the first-in-human study for CP-751,871. The study aimed to define the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose of CP-751,871 in patients with multiple myeloma through a dose escalation design.
NCT00483756
A new immunosuppressive drug, based on the inhibition of an important enzyme in the immune system called JAK3, is being developed by Pfizer to prevent transplant rejection. In this research study, a JAK3 inhibitor or cyclosporine will be given to new kidney transplant patients for 12 months. Patients will be assigned to one of three treatment groups after receiving a kidney transplant. Two of the treatment groups will receive 2 different dosing regimens of the JAK3 inhibitor that will be taken by mouth. The third treatment group will be a standard-of-care control arm. Patients will continue to take the assigned study medication for 12 months as well as other standard transplant medications such as prednisone.
NCT00198484
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Vitrase (hyaluronidase for injection) is effective as a spreading agent for other injected drugs prior to ocular surgery
NCT01400425
The study is designed to evaluate whether a florbetapir F 18 PET scan can impact clinical thinking when physicians are determining the likely cause of a subject's cognitive impairment.
NCT01267773
Having both depression and conduct problems at the same time has been found to be associated with increased risk for the other and increased risk of negative outcomes. This study will develop an family based cognitive behavioral treatment protocol for youths with both conduct problems and depression, that will take be administered over the course of six months. Youth with comorbid conduct problems and depression will be assigned to the experimental condition or treatment as usual in a community care setting. The treatment manual will be revised as needed. Youth will be assessed before and after treatment to examine program potential. The goal of this research is to develop a more comprehensive outpatient treatment for youth with both conduct problems and depression.
NCT00927186
The purpose of this study is to investigate how teriparatide or zoledronic acid affects the bone of postmenopausal osteoporotic women after 6 months of treatment as determined by a bone biopsy sample taken from the iliac crest (upper part of the pelvis). After completing 12 months of treatment all participants are eligible to participate in an additional 12-month open label extension.
NCT00666926
Phase 1 safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics trial of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor PF-00562271 in patients with positive Positron Emission Tomography \[PET\] scans due to advanced non-hematologic malignancies, including pancreatic, head and neck, and prostatic neoplasms, and patients with other malignancies appropriate for serial biopsy. Screening consists of a Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography \[FDG-PET\] and tumor imaging, medical history, physical examination, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group \[ECOG\] performance status, blood draws, a pregnancy test for female patients of childbearing potential. Treatment consists of PF00562271 tablets continued until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, or patient request. Evaluations for bioactivity are measured by serial FDG-PET and blood tests for biomarkers related to FAK and PYK2 kinase activities.
