NCT01545440
This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab in patients with asthma whose disease remains uncontrolled despite daily therapy with an inhaled corticosteroid and a second controller medication. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive double-blind treatment with subcutaneous lebrikizumab ("highest", "middle", "lowest" dose) or placebo every 4 weeks for 52 weeks, in addition to their standard-of-care therapy. This will be followed by a 52-week double-blind active treatment extension. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 104 weeks. There will be a safety follow-up of 24 weeks after the last dose of study drug for all patients.
NCT00005834
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known if combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without thalidomide for multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without thalidomide in treating patients who have refractory multiple myeloma.
NCT00002849
RATIONALE: Chemotherapy plus interferon alfa may be effective for primary systemic amyloidosis. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of dexamethasone plus interferon alfa in treating patients who have primary systemic amyloidosis.
NCT01603160

NCT00089518
The angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) valsartan is a drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Valsartan may also help slow down the progression of kidney disease in HIV infected people. The purpose of this study is to compare valsartan and antiretroviral therapy (ART) to ART alone in slowing kidney disease progression in people with HIV.
NCT00106184
Rituximab is a man-made antibody used to treat certain types of cancer. This study will determine whether rituximab is an effective treatment for adult and pediatric patients with dermatomyositis or polymyositis. Study hypotheses: 1) The time to improvement in Group A patients (receiving rituximab first) will occur significantly earlier than in Group B patients (receiving rituximab later). 2) The proportion of patients improved at Week 8 of the treatment phase will be significantly greater in Group A than in Group B.
NCT01284231
To determine the maximum tolerated dose and/or optimum biologic dose of MEDI-565 in adult subjects and evaluate the safety profile in adult subjects with advanced gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas who have no available standard or curative treatments.
NCT00082134
This is a Phase II, non-randomized, open label study of ILX651 in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel. Approximately 40 patients will be enrolled in this study that is expected to last 24 months. All patients will be treated with ILX651 administered IV daily for 5 consecutive days every 21 days. The primary objective of this study is to determine the PSA response rate. The secondary objectives are to determine response of measurable disease, duration of response, time to PSA progression, time to treatment failure, survival, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of ILX651.
NCT00034294
Approximately 300 patients will be entered into this study taking place throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. This study aims to determine if an investigational drug is safe and effective for treating the symptoms of C. difficile-associated diarrhea and lowering the risk of repeat episodes of diarrhea. The investigational drug will be evaluated in comparison to current standard antibiotic treatment, so all patients will receive active medication. All study-related care is provided including doctor visits, physical exams, laboratory tests and study medication. Total length of participation is approximately 10 weeks.
NCT00619801
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of the oral formulation of levocetirizine in children ages 1 to less than 6 years old who suffer from allergic rhinitis or chronic urticaria of unknown origin.
NCT00668200
This study will evaluate the impact of investigator and patient education and educational materials to foster calcium and vitamin D supplementation to mitigate the potential for hypocalcemia post Reclast® administration in patients with Paget's disease of bone.
NCT00972712
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of the combination of bortezomib and tipifarnib. Bortezomib (VELCADE) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Tipifarnib is not yet approved by the FDA and is an investigational drug. "Investigational" means that the drug is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. Because these drugs have not been used together before, it is not clear which dose of each agent is optimal when used in combination. This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational drug. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drugs to use for further studies. The investigators will test the safety of BORTEZOMIB and TIPIFARNIB together and see what effects (good and bad) it has on you and your MULTIPLE MYELOMA, and to find the highest dose of both agents that can be given without causing severe side effects.
NCT00005866
RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy used to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known if total-body irradiation plus peripheral stem cell transplantation is more effective with busulfan or with cyclophosphamide for myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of busulfan with that of cyclophosphamide in patients undergoing total-body irradiation plus peripheral stem cell transplantation for advanced myelodysplastic syndrome or related acute myeloid leukemia.
NCT00918814
Dose Ranging and Dose Frequency of LIPO-102
NCT00002548
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage cancer cells. Combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy and kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for multiple myeloma. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of melphalan, total-body irradiation, and peripheral stem cell transplantation with that of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have previously untreated multiple myeloma.
NCT01766011
The purpose of this study is to assess overall growth of preterm infants fed a reformulated preterm infant formula during hospitalization. All study products meet levels of nutrients for the infant population as specified in the Infant Formula Act and all subsequent amendments.
NCT00043706
Systemic Sclerosis (also known as Scleroderma) is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the connective tissue generally classified as one of the rheumatic diseases. Systemic Sclerosis causes fibrosis (scar tissue) to be formed in the skin and internal organs. The fibrosis eventually causes the involved skin to harden, limiting mobility, and can also damage other organs. Excess Transforming Growth Factor Beta-1 (TGF-beta1) activity may result in the abnormal fibrosis characteristic of Systemic Sclerosis. An antibody against TGF-beta1 may modify pathologic processes characterized by inappropriate fibrosis. Genzyme Corporation is currently investigating a human monoclonal antibody (CAT-192) that neutralizes active TGF-beta1. This study is being conducted in the U.S. and Europe to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of repeated treatments with CAT-192 in patients with early stage diffuse Systemic Sclerosis.
NCT00150293
To determine long-term safety and efficacy of pregabalin in patients with partial seizures.
NCT01641016
The overall aim of the BREATHER trial is to evaluate the role of Short-Cycle Therapy (SCT) in the management of HIV-infected young people who have responded well to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and to determine whether young people with chronic HIV infection undergoing Short-Cycle Therapy of five days on ART and two days off maintain the same level of viral load suppression as those on continuous therapy, over 48 weeks. To assess the advantages and disadvantages of the strategy, the incidence of toxicities, immunological control, resistance mutations, acceptability, quality of life and adherence to the randomised strategy will also be compared. Importantly, because of insufficient data on short-term viral load rebound after stopping ART in this population, the trial will incorporate an initial pilot phase in selected centres, to assess the safety of the SCT strategy by evaluating detailed HIV-1 RNA profiles of participants on the SCT strategy.
