NCT01732822
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ticagrelor and clopidogrel in patients with Peripheral Artery Disease.
NCT01124773
WHIMS-Y provides valuable information on the long-term effects on risk of cognitive impairment of hormone therapy in a subset of WHI participants in the WHI Hormone Trials. Following cessation of study-prescribed HT cognitive function and impairment were assessed.
NCT01293864
The object of this study is to analyze fresh human skin samples using several up-to-date technologies to get parameters on the mechanical, biochemical and structural distribution of the main components of the capillary-tissue unit. Our working hypothesis is that both structural components of the dermis are not evenly distributed along parallel planes. The investigators further hypothesize the the distribution patterns determine functional and mechanical differences along dermal layers.
NCT02265198
Pulmonary contusion (PC) is a significant problem after blunt trauma that may often lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and in some patients, death. Although the pathophysiology is incompletely understood, it is clear that there is a biochemical process involving changes in the inflammatory milieu after contusion which occurs in addition to simple direct mechanical injury to the lung. The relationship of severity of contusion on imaging, disturbances in the inflammatory phenotype, and outcome is unknown. This is a prospective, observational study which will evaluate the size and severity of contusion as measured on chest computed tomography (CT). Inflammatory mediators will be measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and in the serum of patients with pulmonary contusion to define the inflammatory nature of the post-contusion lung. The degree of abnormality within the inflammatory parameters will be correlated with lung contusion size and subsequent patient outcomes. These data will be compared to other patient groups: 1) Trauma patients without chest injury who are mechanically ventilated; 2) Uninjured patients undergoing elective surgical procedures that will require intubation and mechanical ventilation; 3) Patients in the Medical ICU who are mechanically ventilated with acute respiratory failure. The hypothesis tested within this study is resolution of lung injury is dependent upon the presence of Tregs in the alveolar space.
NCT00381290
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a calorie-restricting diet, exercise, and a combination of both in reducing knee inflammation and compressive forces in obese and overweight adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
NCT00781937
This trial is conducted in North America. The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the potential of liraglutide to maintain long term weight loss in obese non-diabetic subjects, as well as in overweight subjects who have medical problems such as hypertension (high blood pressure) or dyslipidaemia (an abnormal amount of lipids in the blood). Trial has following trial periods: A 12-week run-in period (from week -12 to week 0) followed by a 56-week main trial period (weeks 0-56) and a 12-week follow-up period (weeks 56-68).
NCT01344824
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving carboplatin and pemetrexed disodium together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin and pemetrexed disodium together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who are light or never smokers.
NCT00908388
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the GORE Conformable TAG Thoracic Endoprosthesis (CTAG) for treatment of subjects with acute complicated type B aortic dissection.
NCT00089570
The purpose of this study is to determine whether terlipressin is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) type 1 when compared to placebo.
NCT02312713
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of standard physical therapy and an internet-based exercise program for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Both of these programs will be compared to a "waiting list" control group. The investigators hypothesize that both treatments will result in greater improvement than the control condition and that the treatments will be similarly effective. The investigators also expect that some patients may do better with one treatment type or another and will explore this.
NCT01586858
Rituximab is the first drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) or microscopic polyangiitis. Because it is a relatively new medication, the long-term safety and efficacy of this drug is not yet clear. This study proposes to follow patients who were enrolled in the RAVE study to determine if treatment with rituximab influences long-term outcomes.
NCT02543229
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics of OPT-302 administered as monthly intravitreal injections for 3 months with and without Lucentis™ in patients with wet age related macular degeneration (AMD). This study will be conducted in two parts: Part 1 will comprise an open label, sequential dose escalation and Part 2 a randomized dose expansion. OPT-302 is a soluble form of VEGFR-3 comprising the extracellular domains 1-3 of human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-3 and the Fc fragment of human IgG1. It functions by binding and neutralizing the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C and VEGF-D on endogenous VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3. VEGF-C and VEGF-D promote blood vessel development (angiogenesis) by binding and activating VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3. VEGF-C is also a potent inducer of vascular permeability or leakage. Angiogenesis and vascular leakage are key hallmarks of wet AMD. Approved therapies for wet AMD include Eylea™ and Lucentis™ which block the activity of VEGF-A, but not VEGF-C or VEGF-D which are alternate members of the same family of molecules. VEGF-C and VEGF-D can stimulate blood vessel growth and leakage through the same pathway as VEGF-A (via VEGFR-2), as well as through pathways that are independent of VEGF-A (via VEGFR-3). Published studies have also indicated that VEGF-C and VEGF-D play an important role in mediating resistance to therapies that block VEGF-A such as Lucentis™ and Eylea™. Combination therapy with OPT-302 an anti-VEGF-A agent provides a more complete blockade of the VEGF family. This strategy targets functional redundancy in the VEGF pathway and mechanisms of 'resistance' or sub-response to VEGF-A inhibition.
NCT00068367
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with unresectable or metastatic malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.

NCT02202161
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of GSK2330672 compared to sitagliptin when administered with metformin for 14 days to subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Approximately 72 male and female subjects aged 30-64 years with T2DM and currently taking metformin will be recruited for this study. Eligible subjects will begin a run-in period of 13-15 days to stabilize on metformin 850 milligram (mg) twice a day (BID). Subjects will then be randomized to GSK2330672 10 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 90 mg, matching placebo or open-label sitagliptin 50 mg for 14 days BID. Subjects will return for a follow-up visit 7-10 days after discharge.
