NCT00141843
The study will consist of two parts: a safety and efficacy period in which all subjects will participate and a pharmacokinetic analysis period, in which 30 eligible subjects will participate to compare ReFacto AF and Advate bioequivalency and safety and efficacy of ReFacto AF in patients with Hemophilia A.
NCT00669851
This study evaluated and optimized settings for, and evaluated the performance of, AI-700-enhanced echocardiographic imaging on several ultrasound imaging platforms, as well as collected additional safety data for AI-700 in healthy volunteers and stable cardiac patients.
NCT00486343
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways with a variety of inflammatory processes contributing to the pathogenesis. The inflammation leads to a state of increased airway responsiveness and reversible airway obstruction that causes the recurrent symptoms of asthma. Despite the variety of treatments available for asthma, none are curative, and the disease continues to place a burden on society in terms of morbidity, reduced quality of life (QOL), and ever increasing healthcare costs. The prevalence of asthma continues to increase with current data suggesting that since 1980, adult asthma cases have increased by 75% and in children under 5 years of age the prevalence has increased by 160%.1 Additionally, studies have suggested that the disease severity has been underestimated and that more patients may be classified as having moderate to severe persistent disease.2 Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have been the cornerstone of anti-inflammatory treatment for decades and have been shown to improve lung function, decrease symptoms, and reduce asthma exacerbations.3 However, many patients are still inadequately controlled despite treatment according to current asthma management guidelines and have a significant unmet medical need. Such patients are at high risk of serious exacerbations and asthma-related mortality.4 Combining long-acting β2-agonists (LABAs) with low dose ICS has been shown to improve asthma control over using higher doses of ICS alone. However, LABAs act mainly at the bottom of the inflammatory cascade and there are concerns that they may mask underlying inflammation.5 Recently, leukotriene receptor antagonists have been added to ICS as second-line therapy in the management of asthma. Zileuton has been extensively studied in inflammatory diseases such as asthma, in which leukotrienes mediate inflammation. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of zileuton controlled-release (CR; 1200 mg 2-times daily \[BID\]) on pulmonary function, asthma control, and symptomatic response in adult patients with asthma poorly controlled on moderate dose ICS.
NCT00127556
This study concerns the safety of blood transfusion. Prior to transfusion, staff should perform a number of essential safety checks to ensure that the correct patient is receiving the correct blood product. Evidence suggests that these safety checks are not always done. This study has been designed to assess the effect of a simple intervention on the performance of the bedside safety check. The hypothesis is that a simple intervention will improve the performance of the bedside check.
NCT00374920
The purpose of this study is to establish the potential of MEM 1003 as a safe and effective treatment for patients with an acute manic or mixed episode of bipolar disorder.
NCT00387101
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Dermal-LSR plus Standard of Care (SOC) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU)in comparison to the treatment to SOC alone.
NCT00670501
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate a reduction in the proportion of new vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis following 3-years of treatment with 20 and 40 mcg/day of teriparatide plus calcium and vitamin D compared with calcium and vitamin D alone.
NCT00484991
The Purpose of this study is to provide patients with hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) due to Phenylketonuria (PKU) access to sapropterin dihydrochloride and to collect more information about the safety of the drug in an expanded access program (EAP) until commercial product is available.
NCT00365612
To compare the effectiveness (efficacy, safety \& tolerability) of a Single Tablet Regimen of efavirenz/emtricitabine/tenofovir DF to subjects continuing on unmodified HAART as measured by the proportion of patients who maintain viral load (HIV-1 RNA) \<200 copies/mL at Week 48.
NCT00644761
Open-label pharmacokinetic drug interaction study.
NCT00335166
This is a multicenter, randomized, double blind, parallel group study of 6 months' treatment with SLV308 as monotherapy in patients with early stage PD. An open label safety extension to this study is planned as a separate protocol for patients who are willing and eligible to participate.
NCT00642499
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if dronabinol is effective in preventing or treating nausea caused by HAART (highly active anti-retroviral therapy) in HIV and AIDS patients
NCT00468065
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the VeinViewer® near infrared device to facilitate the placement of intravenous catheters in children who require intravenous cannulation in the pediatric emergency department. This clinical protocol is designed to determine whether using the VeinViewer increases the ease and efficiency of IV cannulation (as perceived by the operator), decreases the time to effective cannulation, decreases the number of sticks and extravasations, and decreases the child's and the parents perception of the pain of IV cannulation.
NCT00257673
The purpose of this study is to determine in a 12-week treatment study if MEM 1003 is a safe and effective treatment for patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.
NCT00141557
To determine whether treatment with ESTRATEST® Tablets is superior to treatment with esterified estrogens tablets
NCT00436189
Purpose The OvaRI assay clinical trial is directed at evaluating a novel proteomics-based blood test. This test is for a physician to use towards differentiating benign from malignant ovarian tumors prior to surgical intervention. Tools that can better triage women with an ovarian tumor are needed. It has been shown that women with ovarian cancer who are referred to gynecologic oncologists have better outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the OvaRl assay (test) improves the preoperative identification of ovarian cancer in patients with a ovarian tumor.
NCT00568009
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, sequential cohort study in subjects with congestive heart failure (CHF) and impaired renal function who are on stable furosemide treatment (³ 40 mg daily). A total of 50 subjects will be randomized to each increasing dose level of SLV320 or placebo in a sequential fashion.
NCT00419913
Our long term goal is to elucidate the role of DHEA on follicular dynamics in the human ovary and to better understand the interaction of DHEA supplementation with other treatments for ovulation induction, especially among older reproductive age women. The specific hypothesis behind the proposed research is that DHEA is a regulator of follicular dynamics acting in the early pre-gonadotropin dependent stage of initial primordial follicle recruitment and growth.
NCT00134147
To assess the impact on glucose control by inhaled insulin in patients with type 2 diabetes who are not well controlled on 2 or more oral anti-diabetic agents
NCT00670319
