NCT01105104
The goal of the Enhanced Medication Management Program (eMMp) being developed by MedMinder Systems, Inc. is to increase the ability of frail elders to adhere to complex medication regimens for chronic conditions. Adherence will facilitate effective self-care and decrease personal and societal costs associated with disease progression and loss of independence. Multiple studies have shown that more frequent personal follow-up is the most effective way to maximize medication adherence, but such personal care is too costly to translate well to real life in a world of limited healthcare resources. Currently available "smart pillboxes" are too expensive, too limited in the number and types of medications delivered, and too technically complex for the large majority of senior citizens. The eMMp is designed to deliver prompts and reminders to the user, to be remotely programmable by caregivers, to allow the option of using pre-filled medication trays, to provide electronic adherence reports to family/caregivers and to provide personalized reinforcing phone calls from professional caregivers, all at a modest cost. The in-home ReMinder will use a familiar pillbox layout (4 doses/day for 7 days) and allow easy removal of medication cups by elderly, rheumatic fingers. Installation will require only an electrical outlet (no modems or dedicated phone lines). Once plugged in, the built-in pager will continuously download remotely programmed visual and/or aural prompts and reminders from a central server (RemoteMind). It will continuously upload the date and time when each medi-cation cup is removed and when weekly refill is carried out, enabling remote adherence monitoring, alerts to caregivers, and follow-up intervention(s) from personal and/or professional caregivers as needed. The hypothesis to be tested in this 2 year SBIR Phase I work plan is that the eMMp will significantly im-prove adherence and clinical outcome (blood pressure control) in a population of frail elderly who are hyper-tensive. SBIR Phase II will determine the minimum level of intervention needed to achieve sustained medication adherence and control of blood pressure in a larger group of hypertensive elders.
NCT00111306
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety \& efficacy of Epratuzumab with standard treatments for patients with SLE.
NCT00616356
The investigators at Rockefeller University are doing this research to study how the immune system responds to viruses and other infectious agents by using the yellow fever 17D vaccine as a model. The YFV-17D vaccine is one of the safest and most effective vaccines known and has been used to vaccinate humans against yellow fever virus (YFV) infection since the 1930s. By studying how the human immune system responds to the YFV vaccine we hope to learn more about the normal functioning of the immune system so that it might be possible to design new, more effective types of vaccines to prevent important infectious diseases. The reason for doing this research is: Currently there is very little information about which factors determine the effectiveness of the initial (primary) immune response to a foreign substance (antigen), such as a virus, that person may be exposed to. There is also very little known about what determines how effectively and for how long a person's immune system can react to the same antigen to prevent another infection. Studies in animals have given us important information about how the immune systems of other animals behave upon initial or repeated exposure to antigens,but these topics have not been studied in detail in humans. The following hypotheses will be tested: * The magnitude of the initial expansion of T lymphocytes (the "clonal burst") specific for the infecting virus determines the level at which memory T cell responses are generated against the specific viral antigen and the duration of the memory T cell response generated in the body. * The majority of CD8 T cells generated after immunization are yellow fever specific and not "bystander activation" of non-specific cells.
NCT00283842
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DVS SR in the treatment of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
NCT00696332
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, tolerability and safety of oral administration of talampanel compared to a placebo in subjects with ALS.
NCT00046800
The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy and safety of OSI-211 and topotecan in patients with relapsed epithelial ovarian cancer.
NCT01454193
The objectives of the data search is to find out if there is correlation between pre, post serum sodium concentration, dialysate sodium concentration, interdialytic weight gain and associated changes in pre and post systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, number of blood pressure medications and adherence to 3 times per week dialysis, mortality.
NCT00138463
West Nile Virus causes an infection that is spread to humans when bitten by certain types of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes become infected by biting infected birds. The purpose of this study is to find out more about West Nile Virus, which may assist in the design of better treatments. The study will be looking at the effects of the disease on individuals, specifically their nervous systems, and the outcomes of the disease. Study participants will include 120 adults ages 18 and older, who have either a fever and/or changes in their neurological (involving the brain and nervous system) status due to documented West Nile Virus infection. Study procedures will include physical examinations, blood tests, urine tests, cerebral spinal fluid (fluid in and around the brain and spinal cord) tests, and neurological (nervous system) testing. Study participants will be followed for 12 months.
NCT00170924
Patients who have had high blood pressure for a long time may have diastolic dysfunction. Diastolic Dysfunction is when your heart has difficulty filling and emptying, and relaxing adequately. This study is to find out if Valsartan) will improve the ability of the heart to fill, empty, and relax appropriately when given alone or with other medicines to treat high blood pressure.
NCT00171535
This study will assess the effectiveness and safety of different combination antihypertensive treatments in patients with severe hypertension
NCT00294710
This study is designed to compare the long-term efficacy and safety of an aliskiren based regimen to an HCTZ based treatment regimen with optional addition of amlodipine in patients with essential hypertension
NCT00260923
This is a study for people diagnosed with hypertension to compare 3 doses (75 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg) of an experimental product, aliskiren in comparison to a placebo. Each patient is in the study for 8 weeks
NCT00409851
A ONE YEAR SAFETY STUDY FOR PATIENTS WHO COMPLETE STUDY VAA489A2201.
NCT00136851
This trial is designed to study the efficacy of an amlodipine besylate/benazepril treatment regimen versus an amlodipine treatment regimen in the treatment of severe hypertension.
NCT00518895
This study is being performed to prospectively determine whether dacarbazine plus Genasense is significantly better than dacarbazine plus placebo in chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced melanoma and low baseline LDH (LDH less than or equal to 0.8 times the upper limit of normal). LDH is a biomarker strongly associated with improved outcomes in a recent trial of dacarbazine plus Genasense.
NCT00051571
This randomized phase II clinical trial evaluates the combination of a monoclonal antibody-based drug (SGN-15) with a chemotherapeutic agent compared to chemotherapy given alone in patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has failed at least one prior systemic therapy. The objective of the study is to determine the safety and clinical benefit, as measured by tumor response and quality of life, to the combination regimen. Monoclonal antibody therapy has been used in other types of cancer to target therapy to the tumor, thereby allowing for the chemotherapeutic agent to have a lesser effect on normal, healthy tissue.
NCT00031187
SGN-15 is being investigated for therapy of patients with prostate cancer in combination with the cytotoxic agent, Taxotere. The study is an open label, randomized phase II study for patients with documented hormone refractory prostate cancer who have not had any prior therapy with Taxotere or Novantrone. Both SGN-15 and Taxotere will be administered weekly over two 6 week courses separated by a 2 week rest period.
