NCT00744237
This study will evaluate the effects of nebivolol on glycemic control compared with metoprolol and HCTZ in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus
NCT00057720
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority in survival in favor of TLK286 as compared to active control therapy with Doxil/Caelyx or Hycamtin in the intent-to-treat (ITT) populations.
NCT01017783
The primary objectives of this clinical trial are to determine if replacing sugar sweetened beverages with water consumption promote weight loss over 6 months in overweight adults and if replacing sugar sweetened beverages with water consumption promote greater weight loss over 6 months relative to replacement with other non-caloric sweetened beverages or control. The secondary objective is to identify mediators and moderators of the effect of water replacement including hydration status, glucose metabolism, anthropometrics, physical activity, dietary intake and resting metabolic rate.
NCT00616980
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intramuscular injections of adult stem cells in patients with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI).
NCT00040677
ICA-17043 is being developed for the chronic treatment of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) in both adults and children. ICA-17043 is a potent and specific inhibitor of a channel in human red blood cells (RBCs) that blocks RBC dehydration. ICA-17043 is expected to inhibit RBC dehydration and thus should prevent or delay the sickling process. By reducing sickled cells, an improvement in anemia, a reduction in painful crises, and ultimately, less end-organ disease is anticipated.
NCT00385671
To test the non-inferiority of duloxetine monotherapy as a treatment for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain as compared to pregabalin treatment among patients who have not had an adequate response to gabapentin.
NCT00578058
Millions of Americans suffer from tinnitus. However, there is no widely accepted treatment that has been shown to be effective in controlled investigations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). This study will investigate the contributions of counseling, the use of hearing aids and sound generators, and the importance of setting masking noise to a particular level. All groups will receive the same Counseling. In pilot studies we have developed a picture-based counseling protocol. The results of this study will determine if TRT is more effective than masking or counseling alone.
NCT01018810
In this study, we will evaluate clinical activity, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of 5 LY2525623 dosing groups compared to placebo in adults with plaque psoriasis.
NCT00389935
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Thalidomide is effective in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations in the gastrointestinal tract.
NCT00509301
RATIONALE: Cotara® is an experimental new treatment that links a radioactive isotope (iodine 131) to a targeted monoclonal antibody. This monoclonal antibody is designed to bind tumor cells and deliver radiation directly to the center of the tumor mass while minimizing effects on normal tissues. Cotara® thus literally destroys the tumor "from the inside out." This may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant type of brain cancer. PURPOSE: This trial is studying the safety and radiation distribution of Cotara® in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.
NCT01104493
To assess the safety of a new influenza virus vaccine containing a new virus strain in healthy patients prior to the release of the vaccine.
NCT00023439
This is a pilot study to evaluate the performance of several nucleic acid amplification methodologies in the diagnosis and management of active tuberculosis
NCT00077883
The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy and safety of the combination of TLK286 with cisplatin as first-line therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
NCT00804986
A multicenter, multinational, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Patients with inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise alone, or in combination with metformin, will be enrolled. The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that LY2428757 given to patients with T2DM inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or metformin monotherapy, produces a significant decrease in the mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from baseline to endpoint at 12 weeks as compared to placebo. Trial consists of 12 weeks of double-blind treatment and 4-week safety follow-up.
NCT00243503
The current study is to evaluate: Overall response rate for the combination of trastuzumab and SU011248 in metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer; evaluate safety and tolerability of the combination; measure duration of tumor control and survival; assess patient reported outcomes; assess PK in combination with trastuzumab and compare efficacy and safety.
NCT00725881
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of multiple, once-daily, intravenous doses of trans sodium crocetinate (TSC). The effectiveness of TSC in alleviating the symptoms of intermittent claudication (IC) will also be assessed.
NCT00143715
Excessive prolongation of the international normalized ratio (INR) occurs frequently in patients taking warfarin; in fact, about one in six INR values is above the desired range. Excessive prolongation of the INR is clinically important because the risk of bleeding approximately doubles for each one point increase in the INR beyond the usual therapeutic range. Thus, treatment strategies which rapidly and reliably lower an excessively prolonged INR into the desired range have the potential to reduce bleeding. When taken by patients with INR values between 4.5 and 10, a small dose of oral vitamin K (1 mg to 2.5mg) reduces the INR into the desired INR range in about 75% of cases within 24 hours of its administration. If warfarin is simply withheld, and no vitamin K is given, about 25% of patients will have an INR in the desired range at 24 hours. However, vitamin K is rarely given to such patients. In a recent survey carried out by our group, less than 20% of such patients would have been given low dose oral vitamin K by a group of physicians who regularly supervise warfarin therapy. The most common treatment for excessive prolongation of the INR is to simply withhold warfarin and allow the INR to fall into the therapeutic range. Although this strategy is effective its safety has never been adequately examined. In fact, recent evidence suggests that patients with INR values of more than 6.0 who are treated with simple warfarin withdrawal have a risk of major bleeding of 4% in the two weeks after they develop their prolonged INR. When asked why they did not give oral vitamin K to a non-bleeding patient who has an excessively prolonged INR, physicians generally give one of three reasons: (1)They are not convinced that oral vitamin K reduces bleeding. (2) They are concerned that oral vitamin K may cause thrombosis. (3) In contrast with simply withholding warfarin, giving oral vitamin K requires a patient to visit the physician, and the physician must have a supply of vitamin K. The investigators hypothesize that the routine practice of not administering oral vitamin K to patients with excessively prolonged INR values is causing patients to have major, life-threatening and fatal bleeds. To convince physicians that oral vitamin K should be administered to all non-bleeding patients with INR values of more than 4.5, the investigators propose a study which the investigators anticipate will demonstrate that oral vitamin K reduces bleeding, does not cause thrombosis, and can be administered at home without direct physician supervision. To accomplish these goals, the investigators propose a multinational, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The investigators will randomize patients with INR values between 4.5 and 10.0 to receive 1.25 mg of oral vitamin K or placebo and follow them for bleeding and thrombosis. Patients with INR values of more than 10.0 will receive a single 1.25 mg dose of oral vitamin K. Successful completion of this study will establish a treatment standard supported by clinical data which will, in turn, change the way that patients taking warfarin who present with an excessively prolonged INR are treated.
