NCT00555321
The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the effects of belatacept, relative to tacrolimus, on the incidence of rejection, graft loss and death in subjects receiving a liver transplant
NCT00226759
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important stabilizer of the knee. Orthopedic surgeons replace the torn ligament during ACL reconstruction surgery. Surgical trauma initiates an acute inflammatory response, including swelling and pain, that leads to restricted joint motion and loss of function. OMS103HP was designed to deliver targeted therapeutic agents directly to the surgical site during the arthroscopic procedure to inhibit inflammation and pain before they can begin. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of OMS103HP in improving knee function following ACL reconstruction. Secondary benefits being evaluated include reduced postoperative pain, improvement in knee range of motion and earlier return to work.

OMS103HP was designed to deliver targeted therapeutic agents directly to the surgical site during the arthroscopic procedure to inhibit inflammation and pain before they can begin. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of OMS103HP in improving knee function following ACL reconstruction using a hamstring autograft. Secondary benefits being evaluated include reduced postoperative pain, improvement in knee range of motion, and earlier return to work.
NCT00998582
Recent research as suggested that use of the HIV medication abacavir (Ziagen, or co-formulated with lamivudine as Epzicom) may increase risk for heart disease, though findings from multiple studies have been inconsistent. This pilot study will examine vascular function, a marker of heart disease risk, among patients taking abacavir as part of their HIV medications and are then randomized to: 1) switch to tenofovir, another HIV medication, or 2) continue to take abacavir.
NCT00288275
Chemoresponse assays (lab test) measure the effect that chemotherapy treatment has on a patient's cancer cells in the lab. This test has shown success in a retrospective study in predicting how an individual patient's tumor will respond to a given chemotherapy and how treatment utilizing an agent that the test said that a patient's cells would be sensitive too corresponds to a longer progression free interval. This study will determine the ability of two tests used to predict the success of chemotherapy in recurrent, persistent, or refractory cancer of the ovaries, fallopian tube(s) or peritoneum by measuring how long patients live without progression.
NCT00457821
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ivacaftor in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who were aged 18 years or older and have a G551D mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Ivacaftor is a potent and selective CFTR potentiator of wild-type, G551D, F508del, and R117H forms of human CFTR protein. Potentiators are pharmacological agents that increase the chloride ion transport properties of the channel in the presence of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) activation.
NCT00169559
An eight week comparison of the investigational drug GW590735, placebo, and the marketed drug fenofibrate intended to increase the levels of "good cholesterol" and decrease levels of "bad cholesterol" in healthy patients with low levels of good cholesterol and high levels of bad cholesterol.
NCT00463606
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-335 and rosuvastatin calcium combination therapy to monotherapy in subjects with dyslipidemia.
NCT00447187
This was a pivotal trial to determine whether LX201 reduces the likelihood of a graft rejection episode following corneal transplantation in patients at high immunological risk for rejection.
NCT00734591
In studies of Exubera in persons with diabetes, lung cancer occurred in a few more people who were taking Exubera than in people who were taking other diabetes medicines. All subjects diagnosed with lung cancer had a history of smoking and the number of lung cancer cases observed fell within the expected range based on population-based data. There is currently not enough information to determine if any of the observed lung cancer cases were related to Exubera use, therefore, the study is being conducted to further investigate whether Exubera use makes the appearance of lung cancer more likely.
NCT01334853
The rationale for conducting this study is to explore potential clinical and peripheral biomarkers in subjects requiring daily medium to high dose inhaled corticosteroids for persistent asthma
NCT00014144
RATIONALE: Biological therapies such as ZD 1839 may interfere with the growth of the tumor cells and slow the growth of cancer of the urinary tract. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ZD 1839 in treating patients who have advanced cancer of the urinary tract.
NCT01271959
The purpose of this research study is to collect information from patient's medical records that had a test called ChemoFx® ordered and to understand how doctors may have used the results of the ChemoFx® to treat patients with cancer.
NCT00488345
To determine the pharmacokinetic profile and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending multiple doses of tigecycline in patients aged 8 to 11 years with selected serious infections; complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI), complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI), or community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
NCT00003587
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of two different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating patients who have stage IIIB or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer
NCT00387010
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of treatment with fentanyl buccal tablets on the anxiety symptoms commonly associated with chronic pain in patients with breakthrough pain (BTP). Other purposes are to assess the management of BTP, to evaluate patient functioning, and to determine any influences on the successful dose achieved.
NCT00889863
This two-part study assessed the sustained efficacy of canakinumab in the double-blind Part II and the ability to taper steroids in the open label Part I.
NCT00327340
This study is for patients with cancer of the prostate gland that has metastasized or spread outside the prostate to other parts of the body. Patients have already been treated with a drug called docetaxel or Taxotere® (with or without the addition of a steroid called prednisone) some time in the recent past. They either did not respond to this therapy or responded to this therapy, but now the cancer is progressing (growing larger or has spread to other areas of the body). Custirsen (OGX-011) is an experimental drug that has been shown to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in several kinds of tumors, including prostate cancer. Both docetaxel and mitoxantrone have anticancer activity in prostate and are approved by Health Canada and the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer.
NCT00833248
The purpose of this phase 3B trial was to see how well a new trial drug (degarelix) works in terms of reducing the size of the prostate volume in prostate cancer patients who were scheduled to undergo subsequent radiotherapy for treatment of their prostate cancer. Prior to receiving radiotherapy, it is recommended that patients with intermediate to high risk prostate cancer are pre-treated with hormone therapy (so-called neoadjuvant therapy) which is known to reduce the size of the prostate and thereby decrease the required radiation field and enable a more safe and effective treatment. In this trial, participants were randomly selected (like flipping a coin) to receive either degarelix given alone or a standard hormone therapy (combination of goserelin and bicalutamide. The treatment was given for three months and the prostate size was measured by ultra sound at the beginning and at the end of the trial. The participants were required to come to the clinic for 5 or 6 visits during the three months.
NCT01011556
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research questions: 1. How teriparatide given using a skin patch (transferred through the skin using the ViaDerm Teriparatide System) compares to teriparatide injected under the skin with a needle (pen injector) affects your bone density (how solid or porous your bones are). 2. The safety of the teriparatide skin patch and any side effects that might be associated with it.
