NCT00331487
Efficacy comparison of Pioglitazone, once daily (QD), to Rosiglitazone in participants with Type 2 Diabetes
NCT00124982
The purpose of this study is to summarize the safety and tolerability of abatacept during 6 months of combined treatment with one or more of the background non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) approved for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in subjects with active RA.

NCT00489632
Overall Objective: The overall objective of this cross-sectional psychosocial study is to examine illness-related factors, family context factors, and child resiliency as predictors or correlates of child adjustment to leukemia treatment. Primary Objective 1: 1(a): To examine illness-related factors (i.e., child's health and physical functioning and severity of the child's illness) as predictors of child psychological adjustment to leukemia. 1(b): To examine relapse status as a grouping variable affecting child psychological adjustment to leukemia. 1(c): To examine stage of treatment as a grouping variable affecting child psychological adjustment to leukemia. Primary Objective 2: -To examine family context factors (i.e., family psychosocial risk and parental emotional distress) as correlates of child psychosocial adjustment to leukemia treatment. Primary Objective 3: -To examine child resiliency as a predictor of child psychological adjustment to leukemia treatment. Secondary Objectives: * One secondary objective of the study is to examine parental distress as a moderator affecting parental report of child adjustment to leukemia as compared to the child's self-report of adjustment. * Another secondary objective of the study is to develop a model by which the relative contribution of each predictor variable (as determined by analyses of primary objectives) as well as their interrelatedness can be understood in relation to child psychosocial adjustment. * A third secondary objective of the study is to examine demographic variables as covariates in the main analyses. These variables include: age, grade, site, gender, ethnicity, type of leukemia, staging, time spent in treatment, age at diagnosis, and whether the child is undergoing standard or experimental treatment.
NCT00134238
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To look at ultrasound images taken in the carotid arteries and to look at various lipids in the blood of people with mixed hyperlipidemia
NCT00090753
This study assessed the long-term efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intravenous (iv) or subcutaneous (sc) methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta in chronic kidney disease patients with renal anemia. Eligible patients were those who were receiving stable maintenance therapy with methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta or erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs) in Phase II or III clinical studies. They continued to receive methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta or comparator ESAs at the same weekly dose and by the same route of administration (sc or iv) as in the qualifying studies.
NCT00777023
Depomed's Gabapentin Extended Release is an investigational, extended release formulation of gabapentin that is being studied for the treatment of hot flashes in postmenopausal women
NCT00971334
The purpose of this study is to collect samples for the purpose of developing a prenatal aneuploid test using circulating cell free fetal (ccff) nucleic acid from blood samples from pregnant women who have a high-risk pregnancy undergoing invasive prenatal diagnosis by chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and/or genetic amniocentesis. The results of the ccff aneuploid test will be compared to the chromosomal analysis obtained via CVS or amniocentesis.
NCT00145431
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the lipid drug torcetrapib/atorvastatin in subjects with a rare genetically known disorder of high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
NCT00667797
An analysis of the costs and outcomes associated with hospitalization and treatment of Levalbuterol versus Racemic Albuterol in subjects with Asthma and COPD.
NCT00685126
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of two dose levels of levalbuterol compared with one dose level of racemic albuterol in pediatric subjects aged birth to 48 months old.
NCT00051467
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TNFerade™ Biologic when administered concurrently with 5-FU and radiation therapy as first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer. TNFerade™ is a replication deficient adenovirus vector containing the gene for TNF-alpha controlled by a chemoradiation inducible promoter. This allows the expression of TNF-alpha to be greatest in the area receiving radiation. TNF-alpha is a cytokine that has been shown to have potent anti-cancer activities but, due to systemic toxicity, could not be delivered at effective doses. TNFerade™ Biologic is a novel way of selective delivery of TNF-alpha to tumor cells. TNFerade™ Biologic will be injected during five weekly injection sessions, concomitant with radiation and 5-FU. TNFerade™ Biologic will be administered by direct intratumoral injection using a percutaneous approach (PTA) or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
NCT00267280
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.
NCT01187459
Background: Crohn's disease (CD), a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the digestive system. CD affects \~112,000 individuals in Canada, of whom 20-25% are diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. The specific cause of CD remains unknown; however, it is hypothesized that CD involves a complex interaction of several factors, including a genetically susceptible host, the intestinal mucosal immune system and microbe population. Several dietary factors have been explored for their potential role in the etiology of CD. However, no consensus on the role of diet has emerged. Recent evidence suggests a plausible link between a lack of Vitamin D and CD. Purpose \& Hypothesis: The investigators primary hypothesis is that a greater proportion of pediatric CD patients will achieve optimal 25OHD concentration (\> 75 nmol/L) on 2000 IU/d than 400 IU/d Vitamin D. Methods: Pediatric Crohn's Disease patients between 8-18 years of age, and have been in remission for at least 4 weeks as indicated by a Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) \<10 will be recruited for a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial where they will receive one of two dosages of vitamin D (10 or 50 ug/day) and will be asked to continue the supplementation for 6 months. Vitamin D levels will be measured in blood at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Dietary vitamin D intake will be estimated using a food frequency and lifestyle questionnaire. Data will be analyzed using multiple regression analysis controlling for baseline values. Expected Results and Conclusions: It is expected that a greater proportion of children receiving the 50 ug/day vitamin D supplement will achieve a blood vitamin level \>75 nmol/L compared to children receiving 10 ug/day. This data will aid policy makers, parents/children and healthcare workers in recommending an appropriate vitamin D dosage for the pediatric crohn's population.

NCT00208156
Corlux (mifepristone) is a new medication that modulates the body's use of a hormone called cortisol. Under normal conditions, cortisol and other hormones are created by the body in response to physical and emotional stress, triggering a healthy stress response. People who suffer from psychotic major depression may have unusually high levels of cortisol circulating within them or abnormal patterns of cortisol levels, overloading the stress response mechanism and causing symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thoughts or hallucinations. If Corlux can keep the body's cortisol receptors from being overloaded, the stress response system may return to normal function, which may result in improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this study is to allow patients who have already participated in an earlier 8 week study of Corlux versus placebo (an inactive pill) to receive additional courses of treatment with Corlux periodically if a psychotic episode should reappear during a period of one year.
NCT00685529
The purpose of this study is to compare the blood levels of arformoterol tartrate inhalation solution to racemic formoterol in male and female subjects with mild to moderate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
