NCT00329238
The general aim of this study is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate administered orally and warfarin (International Normalized Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0) for the long-term treatment and secondary prevention of symptomatic venous thromboembolism in patients who have been successfully treated with standard doses of an approved anticoagulant for three to twelve months for confirmed acute symptomatic Venous Thrombo-embolism.
NCT01542788
This multicenter study was to evaluate subjects with chronic genotype 2 or 3 HCV infection who were interferon (IFN) ineligible, IFN intolerant or unwilling to take IFN. Participants were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive sofosbuvir (SOF)+ribavirin (RBV), or placebo to match SOF+placebo to match RBV. Randomization was stratified by presence/absence of cirrhosis. Approximately 20% of participants may have had evidence of cirrhosis at screening.
NCT00321854
This is a double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of 15 months duration designed to examine early Mirapex (pramipexole) treatment vs. delayed Mirapex (pramipexole) treatment in patients with new onset Parkinsons disease
NCT01823276
The objective of the proposed research is to determine if tyrosine, an amino acid found in protein-containing foods, will mitigate the cognitive deficits and adverse effects on behavior and mood produced by exposure to military stress. This study will be conducted at the Army Survive, Evade, Resist, Escape (SERE) school at Fort Bragg, NC. Tyrosine is the dietary precursor of the catecholamine norepinephrine, a key brain neurotransmitter that is critical for the central nervous system (CNS) response to various types of acute stress. Psychological stress increases catecholamine turnover in the brain, increasing the requirement for tyrosine to support synthesis of norepinephrine. Animal and human studies have shown that tyrosine supplementation can produce beneficial effects on cognitive and physiological functions during exposure to a variety of acute stressors. This project will determine if volunteers treated with supplemental tyrosine during stressful phases of SERE training experience less degradation in cognitive performance and mood than volunteers treated with placebo. Tyrosine or placebo will be administered in a specially developed food bar provided to volunteers. The bar is part of a prototype of ration-component designed for use during assault operations. A between-subjects, double blind experimental design will be employed. Tyrosine, an amino acid found in most protein-containing foods, has been tested in hundreds of volunteers without adverse effects. Approximately 100 volunteers will be recruited from several SERE classes to ensure up to 82 volunteers complete the study. They will be tested during several portions of SERE. A comprehensive but brief battery of cognitive tests, as well as saliva and blood samples, will be collected in a manner that does not interfere with ongoing training. Hypotheses: 1. The adverse effects of psychological stress on cognitive performance and mood during SERE school will be reduced when volunteers are given supplemental tyrosine compared to placebo treatment. 2. Supplemental tyrosine will reduce release of proinflammatory cytokines that may be increased by the stressful activities of SERE school.
NCT01142193
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effectiveness of USL255 as adjunctive therapy in patients with refractory partial onset-seizures.
NCT00523991
A 24 week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 18mcg of tiotropium inhalation capsules administered by Handihaler once daily plus Pro Re Nata (PRN) albuterol (salbutamol) vs. placebo plus PRN albuterol (salbutamol) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease subjects naive to maintenance therapy.
NCT00493636
The study is being conducted to compare progression-free survival in patients treated with sorafenib and gemcitabine/capecitabine versus patients treated with placebo and gemcitabine/capecitabine for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has progressed during or following treatment with a bevacizumab-containing regimen.
NCT01087970
The purpose of this study is to look for an improvement in progression free survival with the combination of pemetrexed, carboplatin (or cisplatin) and cetuximab in participants with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
NCT00096772
The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples from HIV infected individuals for use in future genetic studies.
NCT00351624
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a 4-month period of supplementation with 400 mg/day of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) provided from chewable softgel capsules containing bubblegum flavored microalgal oil (DHASCO-S) versus placebo improves one or more cognitive measures of attention, memory, processing speed, and error rate in healthy children 4 years of age. The secondary objectives are to measure the safety and tolerability of the DHA dose administered and to measure blood DHA levels before and after supplementation.
NCT00680186
The general aim of this study is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate 150 mg bid administered orally and warfarin Pro re nata (As needed/PRN) to maintain an International Normalised Ratio (INR) of 2.0-3.0 for 6 month treatment of acute symptomatic VTE. The primary objective is to investigate the efficacy of dabigatran compared to warfarin during the 6 month treatment period. The investigation of other selected efficacy aspects and safety are regarded as secondary objective of this trial.

NCT00425321
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 100, 200, and 300 mg/day doses of RWJ-445380 for up to 12 weeks in patients with active Rheumatoid Arthritis despite methotrexate therapy.
NCT00157248
To determine the long term safety and efficacy of BIBR 1048 in patients with chronic atrial fibrilla tion, with or without concomitant chronic treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).
NCT00949286
The study is designed to determine the long term, post trial effects of the two interventions studied in ADVANCE (routine blood pressure lowering with perindopril-indapamide as compared with placebo and intensive gliclazide-MR based glucose control as compared to standard guideline based glucose control) in individuals with type 2 diabetes at high risk of cardiovascular events. The long term, post randomization effects of the two study interventions will be investigated separately as they were for the main trial. This study will clarify and quantify the long-term, post trial (often referred to as legacy) effects of these two interventions in a broader population of patients with type 2 diabetes from high and low to middle income countries, and in the setting of comprehensive cardiovascular risk factor treatment. With the ADVANCE trial infrastructure and surveillance system already in place, the implementation of extended follow-up will be feasible. The conclusions of this follow up study will have profound clinical implications for the care of patients with type 2 diabetes around the world.
