NCT00306254
To study the safety and effectiveness of several doses of PD 0348292 compared to enoxaparin in preventing blood clots in the lungs or deep leg veins of patients after knee surgery
NCT00068861
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting up to 10% of women. The primary symptoms of PCOS are menstrual irregularities, increased body and facial hair, acne, and infertility. This study will test a combination of medications in women with PCOS to determine which works best to overcome infertility.
NCT00289302
Heart failure is a progressive disease that decreases the pumping action of the heart. This may cause a backup of fluid in the heart and may result in heart beat changes. When there are changes in the heart beat sometimes an implantable heart device is used to control the rate and rhythm of the heart beat. In certain heart failure cases, when the two lower chambers of the heart no longer beat in a coordinated manner, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) may be prescribed. CRT is similar to a pacemaker. It is placed (implanted) under the skin of the upper chest. CRT is delivered as tiny electrical pulses to the right and left ventricles through three or four leads (soft insulated wires) that are inserted through the veins to the heart. People who have a dangerously fast heart beat, or whose heart is at risk of stopping beating, may be in need of an electronic device called an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). An ICD is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area and it sends a strong electrical impulse, or shock, to the heart to return it to a normal rhythm. If the heart is beating too slowly or at an abnormal rhythm, an ICD can also pace the heart to return the heart to its normal rhythm. The InSync ICD device can change the timing of when the left and right ventricles of the heart are paced to beat. The purpose of this study is to monitor the long-term performance of the InSync ICD Model 7272 and the InSync Marquis 7277 systems for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
NCT00122850
This study will examine duloxetine compared with placebo and an active comparator in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
NCT00236132
The main goal of the pectus multicenter outcomes study is to document the utility of PEx repair in improving health and quality of life and to test the prevailing belief that the two predominant surgical procedures currently in use for PEx repair are essentially equivalent in terms of long-term outcomes. We believe the uncertainty about the impact of PEx on cardiopulmonary function is due to part to the fact that the previous studies have not measured the physiological parameters mostly likely affected by the defect. A protocol to test this was developed. Thus, we propose to use these measures as well as conventional output of progressive exercise test to examine cardiopulmonary function before and after surgical repair of PEx within the context of the original study.
NCT00185042
The purpose of this study is to learn if CS-505 is safe and effective for slowing down or possibly reversing the buildup of tissue, cells and fatty deposits (plaque) in the blood vessels of the heart (coronary artery atherosclerosis).
NCT00294541
This trial is a follow-up companion study to Protocol ICA-17043-10, a Phase III, multi-center, efficacy and safety study of ICA-17043. This is an open-label extension study collecting safety data on the use of ICA-17043 in subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD) (e.g., HbSS, HbSC, HbSb0-thalassemia, HbSb+-thalassemia subjects). All subjects who have successfully completed ICA-17043-10 will, if deemed appropriate by their study Investigator and appropriate consent by subject is given, enroll in the ICA-17043-12 study (Study 12). Only patients who participated in ICA-17043-10 are eligible for this open label study
NCT00323024
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose of inhaled NX1011 for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
NCT00231946
The study is designed to investigate the activity of the hormone drug leuprolide acetate in stabilizing cognitive function in mild-to-moderate AD patients.
NCT00190736
A study to compare the effect of once-daily atomoxetine versus placebo in treating symptoms of ADHD in adults for up to 6 months.
NCT00198094
The primary objective for the study is to test the hypothesis that sertraline plus alprazolam XR will result in superior early stabilization of primary care PD patients versus sertraline/placebo over a 12-week treatment period. The secondary objectives of the study are a) to assess withdrawal symptoms during alprazolam XR taper (weeks 5-7 of the 12-week trial) and after discontinuation, b) to compare physical health outcomes, medical services utilization, and cost-effectiveness of the two study interventions across the 12-week treatment period and subsequent three month maintenance treatment with sertraline alone, and c) to assess whether early co-administration of sertraline/ alprazolam XR will result in greater maintenance of treatment response than sertraline/placebo over the three months following the 12 week acute treatment program.
NCT00002168
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two anti-HIV drug combinations when given to HIV-infected patients who have never been treated with anti-HIV drugs. One drug combination is stavudine (d4T) plus didanosine (ddI) plus Crixivan. The other combination is Retrovir (AZT) plus Epivir (3TC) plus Crixivan.
NCT00062894
The purpose of this study is to assess the blood pharmacokinetics in patients with previously untreated or relapsed follicular or transformed follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have received a dosimetric dose of fission-derived iodine I 131 tositumomab.
NCT00134485
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of torcetrapib/atorvastatin compared to atorvastatin alone in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
NCT00002057
To determine a safe, effective, and convenient dosing schedule for nystatin pastilles in the prevention of oral candidiasis in patients with AIDS or AIDS related complex (ARC) (group III or IV, CDC classification).
NCT00002293
To determine a safe, effective, and convenient dosing schedule for nystatin pastilles in the prophylaxis of oral candidiasis in patients with AIDS or AIDS related syndromes (group III or IV, CDC classification)
NCT00098046
Varicella zoster virus causes chickenpox in children and shingles in adults. Chickenpox is usually a self-limiting illness characterized by fever and a rash. Serious complications can include secondary bacterial infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis. Anti-viral treatment is not a standard of care in immunocompetent children, but is recommended whenever a risk of complication exists. This study will evaluate the safety and blood levels of a new formulation of famciclovir in children 1-12 years of age.
NCT00193648
The current management of primary FSGS is predicated on the assumption that the disease is caused by an immune-mediated disturbance in glomerular barrier function. Therefore, most treatment protocols have involved immunosuppressive drugs given singly or in combination. However, the efficacy of this type of therapy has been disappointing and the long-term prognosis for renal survival in patients with resistant FSGS is poor. An alternative approach that targets the fibrosis pathway may represent a novel approach to the treatment of resistant FSGS. In this R21, the investigators will test the hypothesis that two novel agents - a tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) antagonist and a peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-gamma (PPARγ) agonist - can be administered safely to patients with resistant FSGS. In the R21 feasibility/pilot phase, pharmacokinetic studies will be conducted to assess the impact of proteinuria on the kinetics of the novel drugs in children and adults. Specific Aim #1: To assess the safety and tolerability of two novel drugs - a TNF-α antagonist and a PPARγ agonist - in patients with resistant FSGS. Specific Aim #2: To conduct a pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment of the selected agents to enable selection of medication regimens for investigation in a randomized Phase II study.
