NCT02786927
This is a Phase IV multi-center, randomized, open-label, cross-over, placebo study in subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) to compare inhaler-specific preference attributes of two inhalers - ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler (DPI) and the HANDIHALER DPI. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether more subjects with COPD prefer the ELLIPTA inhaler to the HANDIHALER DPI based on the number of steps needed to take medication. All subjects will use the ELLIPTA inhaler and the HANDIHALER inhaler in the corresponding treatment periods based on the randomisation scheme, and at the end of 2 periods, complete the inhaler preference questionnaire. Subjects will self-administer the inhalation once daily for 5-9 days in each treatment period. This study will be placebo-only, and neither inhaler will contain active treatment. Subjects will continue their current COPD medication(s) as prescribed, and will follow up with their regular physician for their COPD healthcare during the study. Approximately 211 subjects will be enrolled in the study. ELLIPTA is a trademark of the GlaxoSmithKline group of companies. HANDIHALER is a trademark of Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH.
NCT01237184
The primary purpose of this study is to 1. determine whether dental implant engaging both the alveolar crest cortical bone and sinus floor using vertical stopper drill and self-threading concept (bi-cortical fixation) increases initial implant stability compared to the short implants engaging only alveolar crest cortical bone (uni-cortical fixation) and/or ones engaging both crest and sinus floor but with green stick fracture (indirect sinus lift technique), 2. study whether different surgical techniques, residual bone height, bone density, and length and width of the implants used affect initial implant stability in posterior maxilla. In addition, this study will continue to 3. compare secondary implant stability of implants fixed bi-cortically, uni-cortically and with indirect sinus lift technique at 2nd stage surgery/6 month healing and 1 year follow-up from the restoration and 4. measure amount of endo-sinus bone formation from the 1- year follow up CT (computer tomogram) scan and evaluate safety and potential post-operative complications of bi-cortical fixation and indirect sinus lift technique reported throughout the follow up periods.
NCT00084136
This study compared 3 different three-drug combinations in HIV infected individuals starting their first HIV treatment regimens. Participants were recruited from resource-limited areas in Africa, Asia, South America, Haiti, and also from the United States. The study hypothesis was each of the once daily combinations (PI based, or NNRTI based) would not have inferior efficacy compared to the twice daily NNRTI based combination.
NCT02164513
The study evaluates the efficacy of fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) to reduce the annual rate of moderate and severe exacerbations compared with dual therapy of FF/VI or UMEC/VI in subjects with COPD. Published studies which assessed the use of an 'open' triple therapy (use of Inhaled Corticosteroid \[ICS\]/ Long-acting Muscarinic Receptor Antagonists \[LAMA\])/ Long Acting Beta-Agonist \[LABA\] delivered via multiple inhalers) in moderate-severe COPD patients, reported improvements in lung function, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), hospitalization rates and rescue medication use, compared to dual therapy (ICS/LABA) or LAMA alone. These studies have also shown similar safety profile with dual or monotherapy doses for periods of up to one year. Given the clinical experience with FF, UMEC and VI, and that the associated risks with these compounds are anticipated from their known pharmacology, the potential benefit of a new therapy option in patients with moderate to severe COPD supports the further development of the closed triple combination (delivered via one inhaler). In the current study subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria will complete 2-week run-in period; 52 week treatment period and a 1-week safety follow-up period. Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of the following double-blind treatment groups FF/UMEC/VI 100 micrograms (mcg)/62.5 mcg/25 mcg once daily (QD), FF/VI 100 mcg/25 mcg QD, or UMEC/VI 62.5 mcg/25 mcg QD

NCT01231620
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of zanamivir given intravenously and how well it works at two different doses in hospitalized adolescents and adults with flu. Zanamivir will be compared with oseltamivir, which is used for treating flu.
NCT00430638
This 16 week study will examine the ability of olmesartan medoxomil to lower the blood pressure of patients with moderate to severe high blood pressure in comparison to placebo. The medication being tested has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of high blood pressure.
NCT00118898
Currently, the preferred anti-HIV regimens used in the United States consist of two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and the nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) efavirenz (EFV). However, with new anti-HIV drugs being approved, alternative regimens need to be tested to determine if new drug combinations have increased effectiveness in treating HIV. The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of four different regimens in HIV-infected adults who have never taken anti-HIV drugs.
NCT01214837
The purpose of this study was to assess immunogenicity of a 3-dose versus 4-dose infant vaccination schedule including kinetics of immune response in the early phases of the series.
NCT00846924
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac cause of ischemic stroke. Detecting atrial fibrillation after a stroke or TIA is critical because highly effective secondary stroke prevention therapy is available for individuals who are recognized to have atrial fibrillation. However, atrial fibrillation is likely under-diagnosed after stroke and TIA because atrial fibrillation is often difficult to detect as it is frequently paroxysmal and asymptomatic, and patients do not routinely undergo prolonged screening. The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic yield of a novel 30-day cardiac event monitor compared to a repeat 24-hour Holter monitor for detecting occult paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with a recent ischemic stroke or TIA of undetermined etiology after completion of a standard clinical stroke work-up (including an initial negative Holter monitor.)
NCT01189864
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ultraviolet-A (UVA)-induced cross-linking of corneal collagen (CXL) as a method to increase the biomechanical and biochemical stability of the cornea by inducing additional cross-links within or between collagen fibers using UVA light and the photo- mediator riboflavin. The purpose of this study is to generate data for presentation at medical meetings and for peer-review publication. The data generated by this study will not be submitted to the FDA to support commercialization of these riboflavin drops.
NCT00908037
Phase II, multi-center, 3 part, staggered cohort, open-label and double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study involving 3 age-determined cohorts (Cohort 1: between 12 and 17 years old; Cohort 2: between 6 and 11 years old; Cohort 3: between 1 and 5 years old). Daily dosing with eltrombopag will begin with 5 patients in the oldest age cohort in an open label fashion, and a review of safety, pharmacokinetic and platelet count data will be performed regularly. If no safety concerns are identified after 12 weeks, 18 additional patients will be randomised to placebo or eltrombopag (2:1 randomisation). After 7 weeks of randomized treatment, all patients will receive eltrombopag in an open label fashion. The total duration of treatment with eltrombopag will be 24 weeks. If at the time of the aforementioned 12 week review of the first 5 patients no safety issues are identified, dosing will begin in the next lower age cohort with an initial group of 5 patients. The same procedure will be followed in terms of safety review and subsequent enrolment and randomisation of the additional patients. Initiation of the younger age cohort will take place once data from the previous has been evaluated. Doses will be adjusted according to platelet counts and tolerability. The study will include a review of the safety data by a Data Safety Monitoring Board.
NCT01977573
This study will be conducted in approximately 228 subjects with anemia associated with CKD who are not on dialysis. Two groups of subjects will be enrolled into the study: Group 1: recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) naive subjects; Group 2: rhEPO users, who are currently receiving rhEPO. Subjects who are rhEPO naive will be randomized to receive either GSK1278863 once daily (QD) or rhEPO in a 3:1 fashion; subjects who are receiving an rhEPO before enrolling (rhEPO users) will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to GSK1278863 QD or to the control arm. For those randomized to the control arm, the decision around whether the subject requires rhEPO, the selection of the type of rhEPO (if needed) and the choice of rhEPO dose to achieve and maintain Hgb concentrations within the target range should be based on Investigator clinical judgment, with the historical rhEPO dose and the current Hgb value being considered. The study consists of a screening phase of at least 4 weeks, a 24-week treatment phase and a follow-up visit that will occur approximately 4 weeks after completing treatment. It is anticipated that the data generated will enable selection of the starting dose(s) and optimize dose adjustment regimen(s) for Phase 3 clinical trials.
NCT01974141

NCT00231166
The purpose of this study is to determine the highest tolerated dose, safety and activity of HCD122 in patients with Multiple Myeloma who are relapsed after receiving prior treatment.
NCT02358655
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart condition, and increases the risk of stroke by six times. There are several medications (blood thinners) that can prevent strokes in AF patients. Many AF patients present to the emergency department, but about half of AF patients leave without prescription of a blood thinner. The study aims to evaluate if adding options like giving a patient education kit, encouraging emergency room physicians to prescribe a blood thinner and providing a specialized AF clinic to patients will increase the number patients receiving blood thinners to prevent strokes.
