NCT01408303
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of adding Epanova (2 g or 4 g daily) to an optimal statin monotherapy for lowering non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol in subjects with persistent hypertriglyceridemia and high risk for cardiovascular disease.
NCT01917630
To determine the effects of 12 weeks administration of different dose levels of ALV003 on the mucosal lining of the small intestine and symptoms in celiac disease patients.
NCT00306150
The purpose of this study is to assess if aprotinin (BAYA0128), given intravenously during your surgery, is safe and can help reduce the need for a blood transfusion during bladder surgery.
NCT01146366
To prospectively look at the utility of routine cervical mediastinoscopy (lymph node biopsy) in patients with clinically staged T2N0M0 NSCLC, as well as patients with clinically staged T1N0M0 NSCLC with a high maxSUV of the primary tumor on PET imaging. Hypothesis #1: The prevalence of mediastinal lymph node metastases detectable by cervical mediastinoscopy is sufficiently low (\<10%) to not support the routine use of this test in the study population. Hypothesis #2: The preoperative detection of occult(hidden) N2 lymph node metastases by cervical mediastinoscopy in patients with clinically staged T2N0M0 NSCLC or T1N0M0 NSCLC with maxSUV \>10 on PET does not provide a survival benefit when compared to detection of occult N2 lymph node metastases at the time of thoracotomy using nodal dissection or systematic sampling.
NCT00511043
This is a phase II open label study to assess the efficacy and safety of PTK787/ZK222584 in adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL). All subjects will receive PTK787/ZK222584. Subjects who tolerate the study target dose of 1250mg will remain on that dose until study completion at 12 months or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or non-compliance with the protocol requirement.
NCT00170547
This protocol is to compare the immune response of different influenza vaccines given by two different routes of administration in healthy adults ages 18 to 64 years.
NCT00050505
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effect of diluting smallpox vaccine, making a larger number of doses in case smallpox is released into the environment. A total of up to 927 healthy adults between the ages of 32 and 70 years who were already vaccinated against smallpox (but not since 1989) will volunteer for this study for up to 34 weeks and receive different strengths of vaccine. Some subjects may participate for longer if they choose to be revaccinated because the first vaccination does not take. The vaccine will be given by making small cuts in the skin and putting the vaccine into these cuts. After the screening visit, volunteers will be followed through study visits and follow up phone calls. Blood will be collected during some study visits to look at the immune system (body system that fights infection) response.
NCT00798317
This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of microplasmin, administered as an intravitreal injection, in subjects with focal vitreomacular adhesion. In previously performed clinical trials, some patients treated with intravitreal microplasmin have had resolution of their underlying condition, including macular hole closure, without need for vitrectomy. This clinical trial is justified because the sponsor believes the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
NCT01877395
The aim of the study is to document the safety and immunogenicity of Purified Vero Rabies Vaccine (VRVg) when given in a simulated post-exposure regimen, i.e. with co-administration of human rabies immunoglobulins (Imovax® Rabies). Primary Objectives: * To demonstrate that VRVg is non-inferior to Imovax® Rabies in terms of proportion of subjects achieving a rabies virus neutralizing antibody (RVNA) titer ≥ 0.5 international units (IU)/mL at Day 14. * To demonstrate that the observed proportion of subjects achieving an RVNA titer ≥ 0.5 IU/mL at Day 14 is at least 99%, with a lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of at least 97%. Secondary Objectives: * To assess the clinical safety of each vaccine after each vaccine injection when administered in a simulated post-exposure schedule. * To describe the geometric mean titer ratio (GMTR) between the 2 vaccine groups at Day 14.
NCT00791479
This is a study to demonstrate that different doses of once-weekly LY2189265 injected subcutaneously will have dose proportional effect on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at 12 weeks in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
NCT01074125
This is a research study for people with high blood phosphorus levels who are on dialysis. This medical condition can cause weakening of the bones and damage other organs. This can lead to many health problems, and sometimes death. Phosphorus is in much of the food we eat, and is helpful to us in small amounts. Patients with kidney failure have trouble getting rid of the phosphorus eaten in food. Dialysis can help remove some of the phosphorus, but often patients must take a phosphate binder like PhosLo®, Renagel®, or Renvela® to bring the blood phosphorus levels back to normal. The purpose of this study is to see if KRX-0502 (ferric citrate) is safe and effective as a phosphate binder.
NCT01389700
Primary Objective: \- To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single intravenous (IV) dose of SAR279356 administered to intensive care unit (ICU) patients on mechanical ventilation Secondary Objectives: * To determine the safety and tolerability of SAR279356 * To evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) and immunogenicity of SAR279356 * Exploratory efficacy of SAR279356 on prevention of bacterial infections
NCT00433212
The machines and oxygen used to help very premature babies breathe can have side-effects, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Infants with BPD get more complications (a higher death rate, a longer time in intensive care and on assisted ventilation, more hospital readmissions in the first year of life, and more learning problems) than infants who do not develop BPD. Doctors try to remove the tube in the wind-pipe that links the baby to the breathing machine as soon as possible. However, small babies get tired, and still require help to breathe. One of the standard and common techniques to help them breathe without a tube in the wind-pipe is to use simple pressure support, nasal continuous positive airway pressure or nCPAP. This supports breathing a little, but it is often not enough to prevent the need to go back on the breathing machine. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is similar to nCPAP, but also gives some breaths, or extra support, to babies through a small tube in the nose. NIPPV is safe and effective, and already in use as an alternate "standard" therapy. The main research question: After being weaned from the breathing machine, is NIPPV better than nCPAP in preventing BPD in premature babies weighing 999 grams or less at birth?
NCT01026233
The purpose of this study is to evaluate cardiac safety of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) in patients with CD30-positive cancers. The study will assess electrical activity of the heart before and after brentuximab vedotin administration. Patients who have stable or improving disease may receive up to 1 year of brentuximab vedotin treatment.
NCT00069407
This study will compare the antidepressant benefits and cognitive side effects of three different types of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in people with unipolar or bipolar depression.
NCT00982020
Open-label safety study of oral olanzapine treatment in adolescents, aged 13 to 17 years, with bipolar I disorder (manic or mixed episodes) or schizophrenia.
NCT01020357
Apnea of prematurity is a common condition that is usually treated with methylxanthines. Methylxanthines are adenosine receptor blockers that have powerful influences on the central nervous system. However, little is known about the long-term effects of methylxanthines on the developing brain. The Caffeine for Apnea of Prematurity-Sleep (CAP-S) Study is a sub-study of the main Caffeine for Apnea of Prematurity (CAP) trial, an international placebo-controlled randomized trial of methylxanthine therapy for apnea of prematurity. This sub-study is designed to take advantage of this cohort of ex-premature, 5-7 year old children who were randomized at birth to receive either caffeine or placebo, and are currently receiving detailed neurocognitive and behavioral assessments in the CAP trial.
NCT00787995
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
NCT00914693
The aim of the present study is to prove efficacy and safety of a new contraceptive patch.
NCT01674712
This is a double-blind, randomized study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two fixed combinations of fenofibrate / simvastatin 145/20 mg and fenofibrate / simvastatin 145/40 mg tablets vs. matching monotherapies in subjects with abnormal fat (lipids) in the blood and at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Fenofibrate is a treatment that lowers fat in blood. It is prescribed in patients with high levels of triglycerides (TG). The drug has been marketed in more than 80 countries since 1975. Simvastatin is also used for the treatment of patients with a high level of cholesterol. These have also been marketed worldwide for more than 20 years. It is important to treat high levels of fats in the blood because it has been shown that even mildly elevated level of lipids in the blood can lead to diseases of the blood vessels. It has been shown in several studies and in clinical practice that the combination of fenofibrate plus simvastatin can lead to improved effects on blood fats, compared to treatment with simvastatin or fenofibrate alone. The main objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of the two fixed-combinations (FC) -fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/20 mg tablet and fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/40 mg tablet in reducing TG and increasing high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) versus simvastatin 20 mg or 40 mg, and in reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) versus fenofibrate 145 mg.
