NCT00804986
A multicenter, multinational, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Patients with inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise alone, or in combination with metformin, will be enrolled. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that LY2428757 given to patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or metformin monotherapy, produces a significant decrease in the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint at 12 weeks as compared to placebo. Trial consists of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment and 4-week safety follow-up.
NCT00181896
This is an 8-week open label study of bupropion SR in the treatment of youth with bipolar depression with adequate mood stabilization. All youth will be closely monitored for treatment emergent manic activation and drug-drug interactions with ongoing antimanic agents. The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of bupropion SR in the treatment of bipolar depression in children and adolescents.
NCT01406028
In vitro fertilization for infertility has been associated with a significant amount of treatment related stress for patients. In addition,stress levels increase between embryo transfer and pregnancy test, during this waiting period. The investigators evaluated whether or not brief interventions by phone by trained social workers influenced stress levels. Our data showed that these interventions did not change levels, but confirmed that stress did increase during this time and that patients report wanting additional emotional support to improve stress during this period.
NCT00679445
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of focal delivery of radiation for the treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age related macular degeneration that have failed Primary Anti-VEGF therapy.
NCT00616980
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intramuscular injections of adult stem cells in patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).
NCT00057720
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority in survival in favor of TLK286 as compared to active control therapy with Doxil/Caelyx or Hycamtin in the intent-to-treat (ITT) populations.
NCT00595738
The relationship between peripheral venous saturation and central hemodynamics (including right and left heart filling pressures and cardiac output), mixed venous oxygen saturation, and contemporary biomarkers of heart failure is not clear. We aim to determine the relationship between mixed venous, central venous, and peripheral venous oxygen saturation in patients with advanced (class III or IV) heart failure. We will determine the relationship between cardiac output measured via thermodilution and the Fick equation calculated using concurrent oxygen saturations from the distal PA, central vein, and peripheral vein. We also aim to examine the relationship of selected cardiac biomarkers with cardiac filling pressures and cardiac output over time in patients with decompensated heart failure.
NCT00120497
Insulin resistance is common among children with low birthweight. Moreover, growth hormone treatment for ensuing short stature also causes insulin resistance. Our objective is to examine these processes. Insulin resistance has recently been linked to the accumulation of stores of fat in muscle cells which can be measured by MRI. We hypothesize that children who are short due to low birthweight have increased muscle fat stores, but that growth hormone treatment will paradoxically reverse this association. To test this hypothesis, muscle fat stores will be measured in children who are short due to low birthweight before and after receiving growth hormone therapy. Other parameters linked to insulin resistance (glucose tolerance, blood markers, and body composition) will also be assessed. This study may lead to ways to increase growth hormone safety and dose limitations.
NCT00040677
ICA-17043 is being developed for the chronic treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) in both adults and children. ICA-17043 is a potent and specific inhibitor of a channel in human red blood cells (RBCs) that blocks RBC dehydration. ICA-17043 is expected to inhibit RBC dehydration and thus should prevent or delay the sickling process. By reducing sickled cells, an improvement in anemia, a reduction in painful crises, and ultimately, less end-organ disease is anticipated.
NCT01396473
The purpose of this study is to design and conduct research to tailor out of school time evaluation materials so they are applicable to various settings in Boston, are efficient in that minimal resources and time are used, and are useful to participants.
NCT00621543
The purpose of this study is to determine the expulsion and continuation rate of an intruterine device (IUD) placed immediately after medical abortion. Our hypothesis is that immediate-placement of an IUD after completed medical abortion will have a similar expulsion and continuation rate to traditional placement (4-6 weeks after pregnancy).
NCT01018810
In this study, we will evaluate clinical activity, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of 5 LY2525623 dosing groups compared to placebo in adults with plaque psoriasis.
NCT00560638
This was a single-center, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 4-visit, CAE (Controlled Adverse Environment) study lasting approximately 4 weeks. Subjects were randomized to receive loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension, 0.5% or placebo (vehicle of loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension, 0.5%) and instructed to dose bilaterally either TID or QID according to randomization.
NCT00385671
To test the non-inferiority of duloxetine monotherapy as a treatment for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain as compared to pregabalin treatment among patients who have not had an adequate response to gabapentin.

NCT00143715
Excessive prolongation of the international normalized ratio (INR) occurs frequently in patients taking warfarin; in fact, about one in six INR values is above the desired range. Excessive prolongation of the INR is clinically important because the risk of bleeding approximately doubles for each one point increase in the INR beyond the usual therapeutic range. Thus, treatment strategies which rapidly and reliably lower an excessively prolonged INR into the desired range have the potential to reduce bleeding. When taken by patients with INR values between 4.5 and 10, a small dose of oral vitamin K (1 mg to 2.5mg) reduces the INR into the desired INR range in about 75% of cases within 24 hours of its administration. If warfarin is simply withheld, and no vitamin K is given, about 25% of patients will have an INR in the desired range at 24 hours. However, vitamin K is rarely given to such patients. In a recent survey carried out by our group, less than 20% of such patients would have been given low dose oral vitamin K by a group of physicians who regularly supervise warfarin therapy. The most common treatment for excessive prolongation of the INR is to simply withhold warfarin and allow the INR to fall into the therapeutic range. Although this strategy is effective its safety has never been adequately examined. In fact, recent evidence suggests that patients with INR values of more than 6.0 who are treated with simple warfarin withdrawal have a risk of major bleeding of 4% in the two weeks after they develop their prolonged INR. When asked why they did not give oral vitamin K to a non-bleeding patient who has an excessively prolonged INR, physicians generally give one of three reasons: (1)They are not convinced that oral vitamin K reduces bleeding. (2) They are concerned that oral vitamin K may cause thrombosis. (3) In contrast with simply withholding warfarin, giving oral vitamin K requires a patient to visit the physician, and the physician must have a supply of vitamin K. The investigators hypothesize that the routine practice of not administering oral vitamin K to patients with excessively prolonged INR values is causing patients to have major, life-threatening and fatal bleeds. To convince physicians that oral vitamin K should be administered to all non-bleeding patients with INR values of more than 4.5, the investigators propose a study which the investigators anticipate will demonstrate that oral vitamin K reduces bleeding, does not cause thrombosis, and can be administered at home without direct physician supervision. To accomplish these goals, the investigators propose a multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The investigators will randomize patients with INR values between 4.5 and 10.0 to receive 1.25 mg of oral vitamin K or placebo and follow them for bleeding and thrombosis. Patients with INR values of more than 10.0 will receive a single 1.25 mg dose of oral vitamin K. Successful completion of this study will establish a treatment standard supported by clinical data which will, in turn, change the way that patients taking warfarin who present with an excessively prolonged INR are treated.
