NCT00811954
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) guidelines recommend that HIV infected patients who have never received anti-HIV therapy be treated with a triple drug regimen. The most commonly prescribed and successful regimen contains the medication efavirenz (EFV). However, this regimen may not be an option for everyone, hence alternative regimens are needed. This study was designed to look at how well different combinations of anti-HIV drugs work to decrease the amount of HIV in the blood (viral load) of and allow immune system recovery in people who have never received anti-HIV therapy. This study also examined drug tolerability and safety for the various drug combinations.
NCT00549796
Angioplasty is a procedure which opens blocked heart arteries using balloons and/or stents. Most U.S. states and all national heart organizations require that angioplasty be done only at hospitals that can also perform open heart surgery. The reason for this is that there is a risk that angioplasty can cause injury to the heart artery that might require open heart surgery to fix. Open heart surgery is a backup in case it is needed. The risk that open heart surgery will be needed is very small. Nevertheless, without more research, many state Departments of Health and all national heart organizations do not want to change the requirement for having on-site open heart surgery wherever angioplasty is performed. Some States already allow this; and European heart organizations already allow it, as well. This study is designed to determine whether the safety and benefits of angioplasty are the same at hospitals that perform angioplasty either with or without open heart surgery backup. Patient who enter the study have a heart catheterization at a hospital without a heart surgery program. If they need angioplasty, then they are randomized to either stay at the hospital without heart surgery for their angioplasty or to be transferred for the procedure to a hospital with heart surgery. For every four patients, three stay at the hospital without heart surgery and one is transferred. The study is designed to show that there is no detectable difference between the safety and benefits of the procedure at the two types of hospital (with and without heart surgery). The cost of the procedure at the two hospital types is also compared.
NCT00742625
This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of bortezomib when given together with daunorubicin and cytarabine and to see how well it works in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving bortezomib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.
NCT00041938
The purpose of this study is to determine which of two treatments, Warfarin or aspirin, is better for preventing death and stroke in patients with poor heart function. We are now transitioning into the sub-analysis part of the WARCEF patient data. The study has recently completed data analysis for its Primary Aim. All randomized patients have completed their follow up. All study related procedure as per the protocol has been completed. We are now in the extension phase of the study to obtain more patient data to address further aims of the study. No new procedures are performed and data already in place at the sites will be collected (EKG and echocardiograms). The aims for this study extension are: * To assess progression of cardiac dysfunction over time among heart failure patients * To correlate prognosis with cardiac dysfunction
NCT00378612
ACROSS-Cypher® is a prospective, multi-center, open label, single arm study of the Cypher® sirolimus eluting coronary stent in native total coronary occlusion revascularization. The primary endpoint is binary angiographic restenosis at 6 months. The TOSCA-1 trial will be used as the historical control. The hypothesis is that compared with TOSCA-1 patients who were treated with the heparin-coated Palmaz Schatz stent, treatment with the Cypher® sirolimus eluting coronary stent will result in a \>50% relative reduction in 6 month restenosis within the treated segment of the target vessel.
NCT00264537
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of golimumab, alone or in combination with methotrexate, as compared to methotrexate alone in rheumatoid arthritis subjects who have not been previously treated with methotrexate.
NCT01058005
This was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled study. Prior to randomization, participants were to have been treated with glatiramer acetate or interferon β-1a (44 μg). Participants were to be randomized to receive natalizumab, interferon β-1a 44 μg, or glatiramer acetate.
NCT01714505
An unblinded, randomized, cross-over design with each patient participating in two 40-hour outpatient admissions: (a) Experimental involving automated Control-to-Range (CTR) and (b) Control using Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)- augmented insulin pump treatment outside of a hospital based clinical research center. The principal goal is to validate a smart phone-based control-to-range (CTR) system for ambulatory use and to estimate the effect of CTR vs. sensor-augmented pump therapy, thereby providing justification for further larger home-based trials of CTR.
NCT00658723
The effectiveness objective of this study is to evaluate whether Fibrin Patch is superior to SURGICEL™ as an adjunct to achieving hemostasis during surgical procedures involving soft tissue bleeding in abdominal, pelvic, retroperitoneal and (non-cardiac) thoracic surgery.
NCT00419094
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of two doses of Keppra XR compared with a historical control as the placebo, in the monotherapy treatment of partial onset seizures.
NCT00419393
To provide continued treatment of Keppra XR (Levetiracetam XR) and to assess the long term safety of Keppra XR in subjects with partial onset seizures.
NCT01841463
* An Open Label, Multicenter, Phase I Extension Study of an Oral Cdk Inhibitor P1446A-05 Administered with an Oral BRAF Inhibitor Vemurafenib (Zelboraf®) in Patients with Advanced or Inoperable Malignant Melanoma with BRAF Mutation * The primary objective is to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of the co-administration of P1446A-05 with vemurafenib, in melanoma patients with BRAF mutation
NCT01292187
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of oral calcitonin (rsCT)tablets in the prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal women with lower bone mineral density at increased risk of fracture. The secondary purpose of this study was to determine if there is any food effect by comparing the efficacy and safety of oral calcitonin tablets administered at dinner or at bedtime.

NCT01283425
The study is an open-label, randomized, two-period crossover study. Up to one hundred and twenty (120) subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who use the MiniMed paradigm insulin pump, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and who provide written Informed Consent will be enrolled in the study. The aim of the study is to examine the safety of the InsuPatch device in a home use setting. Mild Hypoglycemia,hyperglycemia and Adverse events will be compared between two phases of the study : 3 months with the use of the device and 3 months without the use of the device.
NCT01216618
The study is a prospective, multi-center, open label, randomized; two-arms cross over study. This is the test protocol for the InsuPatch device, whose purpose is to improve insulin delivery into the blood when the insulin is infused using an insulin-infusion pump by controlled heating of the area surrounding the point of infusion.
