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.
NCT01189877
The purpose of this study is to see if the cells in rectal cancer are oxygen-starved, or hypoxic. We know that as cancers grow bigger, parts of them are cut off from the oxygen supply and they become hypoxic, basically, lacking oxygen. Research has shown that cells that are oxygen-starved respond differently to treatment such as chemotherapy and radiation when compared to cells that are oxygen rich.
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.
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
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.
NCT01386047
Clinical prediction rules (CPRs) are frontline decision aids that help physicians make evidence-based, cost-effective decisions that benefit their patients. The aims of this project are to incorporate two well validated CPRs (Streptococcal Pharyngitis Prediction Rule and the Pneumonia Clinical Prediction Rule) into an outpatient Electronic Medical Record System (EMR) and to perform a randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of integrated CPRs impact on doctor's behaviors (e.g. test ordering and medication prescribing).
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.
NCT00785369
The purpose of this study is to image pigmented skin lesions suspicious for melanoma with an imaging technology called in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy. This technology uses low intensity laser to image below the surface of the skin. The confocal images of the suspicious skin lesion will be examined. The goal of this study is to compare the results of the confocal image examination to the pathologic diagnosis of the skin lesion. The technique being evaluated in this study uses reflectance confocal microscopy in vivo. The term "in vivo" means in/on a living subject. In this study you will be the living subject and the confocal microscope will be placed on your skin to look at your skin lesion. The confocal microscope uses a weak laser light and a sophisticated lens to image the individual cells that make up the skin. Your lesion will be photographed with high resolution photography.
NCT01069341
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety of ranibizumab: a) as a surgical adjunct during cataract surgery in subjects with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) induced rubeosis and, b) in treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
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.
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.
NCT01145755
This is a 6-week study treatment to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AZD2066 in patients with major depressive disorder.
NCT00852306
The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to freeze eggs in order to preserve the fertility potential of young women.
NCT00851903
This study was the extension of the LANTU\_C\_02761 study named EASIE and identified as NCT00751114 (core study comparing insulin glargine versus sitagliptin in insulin-naïve patients treated with metformin and not adequately controlled). All patients with Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 7% at the end of the core study had the possibility to enter this extension study if they met the other inclusion criteria and did not present with any exclusion criteria. The visit 14 of the core study (week 24) was the visit 1 (baseline, week 0) of the extension study which consisted of a 12-week treatment period. The objectives of this extension study were: * To assess the glycemic control (HbA1c \<7%) of a 3-month combination therapy with metformin, insulin glargine and sitagliptin in patients not adequately controlled by a previous treatment with metformin plus either insulin glargine or sitagliptin. * To assess the effect of insulin glargine in combination with sitagliptin on HbA1c level, fasting plasma glucose, 7-point glucose profile, hypoglycemia occurrence, body weight and overall safety.
NCT00912288
No Dimebon clinical data exist yet in patients with disease that has advanced to the moderate-to-severe stage. Therefore, this study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Dimebon in patients with moderate-to-severe AD who are receiving existing background therapy with memantine.
NCT01244685
The purpose of this study is: * To determine if the intraoperative fluid administration with the Deltex CardioQ esophageal Doppler will reduce the length of stay after elective bowel resection. * The probe can be used to dynamically measure stroke volume and cardiac output. This information will assist us in determining the ideal amount of fluids to be administered. * To determine if the fluid administration established by the esophageal probe will result in a shorter length of stay in elective bowel resection patients. * The investigators plan to enroll 100 patients in this study.
NCT00796705
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disorder that leads to inflammation and progressive joint damage affecting 2.5 million people in the United States. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of switching to an alternative Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) alpha inhibitor in comparison to continuing treatment with an existing TNF-alpha inhibitor in adults suffering from RA in a setting of inadequate clinical response to etanercept or adalimumab.

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.
NCT00862524
This is a 2-phase study during which patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors will receive investigational study drug ARRY-334543 and gemcitabine. The study has 2 parts. In the first part of the study, Phase 1, patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors will receive increasing doses of study drug in combination with gemcitabine in order to achieve the highest dose of study drug possible that will not cause unacceptable side effects. Patients will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 24 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 1 (Completed). In the second part of the study, Phase 2, patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer will receive the best dose of study drug, in combination with gemcitabine, determined from the first part of the study and will be followed to see what side effects the combination causes and what effectiveness the combination has, if any, in treating the cancer. Approximately 42 patients from the US will be enrolled in Part 2 (Withdrawn).
