NCT00116649
Actinic keratosis (AK) is a skin condition that shows up on skin routinely exposed to the sun, such as the face, scalp, shoulders, chest, back, arms, and hands. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of one, two, or three cycles of imiquimod for the treatment of AK. The AK lesions treated can be in adjacent and nonadjacent areas of the head, torso, and extremities. The total surface area for the AK lesions must be greater than 25 cm2. The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with imiquimod in people with large surface areas of AK.
NCT00605176
The purpose of this study is to determine whether imiquimod creams are effective in treating Actinic Keratoses when applied to the face or balding scalp. Actinic keratosis (AK) is a skin condition that shows up on skin routinely exposed to the sun, such as the face, scalp, shoulders, chest, back, arms, and hands. The active ingredient contained in the study cream for this study is the same as that of the approved product Aldara, which has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of AKs.
NCT00301522

NCT00287573
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TAXUS Express2 Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System as compared to brachytherapy in patients experiencing in-stent restenosis.
NCT00673452
The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of duloxetine 60-120 mg once daily in comparison to placebo on symptom improvement in patients meeting criteria for fibromyalgia aged 18 and older. Patients will be randomized to duloxetine or placebo, however, all patients will receive duloxetine at some point in the study.
NCT00099528
The purpose of this study is to gain initial safety and efficacy data on the experimental agent REN-1654 in patients with painful post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).
NCT00654745
To determine if olmesartan plus amlodipine combination therapy alone and with hydrochlorothiazide will be safe and effective to reduce high blood pressure in hypertensive, type 2 diabetic subjects.
NCT00160199
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 300 mg and 400 mg doses of PROMETRIUM® capsules in women of reproductive age with secondary amenorrhea
NCT01170611
This clinical investigation is a prospective, single-blinded, randomized trial. The primary objective concerns the safety and effectiveness of the AAIsafeR mode with the preventive algorithms.
NCT00118742
This two-arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of a long-term calcineurin inhibitor-free maintenance regimen with CellCept and sirolimus in recipients of an orthotropic liver transplant. Patients will be randomized to receive either CellCept 1-1.5 g twice daily (BID) + tacrolimus + cyclosporine, or CellCept 1-1.5 g BID + sirolimus. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1 to 2 years, and the target sample size is 100 to 500 individuals.
NCT01166802
The aim of this study is to develop and validate a questionnaire (non-invasive technique) to identify patients who are hypervigilant for noxious visceral sensations and who show a lower threshold to report pain. This questionnaire would be useful in studies investigating the role of visceral pain hypervigilance and pain sensitivity in the comorbidity of IBS with other somatic disorders.
NCT00014651
RATIONALE: Drugs such as vapreotide may prevent complications following pancreatic resection. It is not yet known if vapreotide is more effective than no further therapy in preventing side effects of pancreatic resection. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying vapreotide to see how well it works compared to a placebo in preventing complications in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer.
NCT00979342
The purpose of this study is to develop a recommended local anesthetic protocol and post-treatment pain management regimen, in order to assure patient comfort during office-based treatment with the MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal Device. Subject self-reported pain scores (as rated on an 11 point scale) will be compared at multiple time intervals between all treatment groups.
NCT00570739
This is a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled (for colesevelam hydrochloride (HCl)) study in the type 2 diabetic subjects and pre-diabetic subjects. Diabetic participants will also be treated with open label, background,metformin HCl. Two-hundred sixty subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 200 pre-diabetic subjects are planned to be be enrolled. Qualified subjects with T2DM will be randomized 1:1 to receive metformin HCl plus colesevelam HCl or metformin HCl plus placebo matching colesevelam HCl. Qualified pre-diabetic subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive colesevelam HCl or matching placebo.
NCT00423254
The present clinical trial is a dose comparison of a multi-component active immunotherapy designed to stimulate an immune reaction to specific tumor associated antigens which are highly expressed on a large number of solid cancers.
NCT00096785
The purpose of this study is to evaluate antiviral activity and efficacy of entecavir (ETV) compared to adefovir in adults with chronic hepatitis B who have not been treated yet with an antiviral medicine.
NCT00442910
There is an urgent need for HIV prevention methods that women can initiate and control themselves. Topical microbicides, substances that kill microbes, represent one such method. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and to evaluate the acceptability of 3% w/w SPL7013 gel, a topical microbicide, when administered intravaginally for 14 consecutive days in healthy, sexually active HIV uninfected women.
NCT00097968
Everolimus is an immunosuppressive drug that is being studied for preventing acute rejection that can happen after heart transplantation. It is usually used in combination with other immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in kidney function after beginning everolimus, while determining the most effective Neoral® (cyclosporine) dose to take with everolimus, in adult cardiac transplant patients who have had their transplanted heart for at least 1 year and who have cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
NCT00730470
This is a Phase 1 clinical study to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of U3-1287 (AMG 888), a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the HER3 receptor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Eligible patients will have disease that is refractory or resistant to standard treatments or for which no standard therapy exists. The study will be conducted in two parts; a dose escalation (Part 1) and a dose expansion (Part 2). The hypothesis for this study is that U3-1287 (AMG888) will be safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced solid tumors and will show initial evidence of anti-tumor activity.
NCT01166815
Zinc deficiency is prevalent in children in developing countries. Zinc-supplementation is proven to reduce the duration and severity of childhood diarrhea in randomized controlled trials. However, despite this evidence, its efficacy to reduce diarrhea morbidity in adults remains unknown. The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of Zn-supplementation on diarrhea incidences in a vulnerable adult population. The study will be carried out in Kombewa division, Kisumu District and will involve 500 adults aged 18-55 years. They will be randomly assigned to receive Zn supplement (or placebo) on a daily basis over a 3 month period. Morbidity information will be collected daily for 4 months, while anthropometric measures and laboratory data will be obtained at study onset, end of supplementation and study conclusion. In addition, HIV and malaria tests will be carried out during the study as they are important confounders. The significant differences in diarrhea incidence between the Zn-group and the placebo-group will be determined using SPSS. The results are expected to provide the scientific basis and common pathway for development of an anti-diarrheal supplement for vulnerable populations such as environmental refugees, deprived and displaced persons, and troops prior to deployment.
