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.
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
NCT00125073
This study aims to assess the changes in physical characteristics, food intake, eating behavior, vomiting, and dumping in 100 patients who undergo bariatric surgery. Patients are put into one of two conditions; they will either receive standard postoperative care or biweekly counseling sessions with a dietician that will help them with the postoperative diet. Patients who receive dietary counseling are anticipated to experience greater weight loss and report less consumption of sugar and fat as compared to patients who do not receive dietary counseling. Moreover, patients who receive dietary counseling are predicted to report less frequent nausea, vomiting, and gastric dumping, as compared to patients who do not receive postoperative dietary counseling. This is predicted to result as a consequence of increased dietary adherence evidenced by the former group.
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.
NCT00423787
Ragweed MATAMPL has been developed by Allergy Therapeutics to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with proven type I hypersensitivity to cross reacting ragweed pollens causing rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma bronchiale. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Ragweed MATAMPL versus placebo in ragweed-allergic subjects following 4 subcutaneous injections of study medication administered before the start of the 2007 ragweed pollen season
NCT00414141
Grass MATA MPL has been developed by Allergy Therapeutics (UK) Ltd. to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with proven type I hypersensitivity to cross reacting grass pollens causing rhinitis and/or conjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma bronchiale. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Grass MATA MPL versus placebo in grass-allergic subjects following 4 subcutaneous injections of study medication administered before the start of the 2007 grass pollen season.
NCT00208559
The purpose of this study is to see if the drug, ziprasidone, is effective in treating problems in adolescent associated with autism.
NCT00579085
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is a debilitating and extremely difficult to treat condition. There is a large body of evidence demonstrating the therapeutic value of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor antagonists in CRPS. The NMDA antagonist ketamine has been shown to be effective in the treatment of CRPS, resulting in complete remission of the disease in some patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate intravenous outpatient infusion of sub-anesthetic doses of ketamine for the treatment of CRPS. A thorough evaluation of this procedure, providing information into the degree of relief and which of the constellation of RSD symptoms are best alleviated by this procedure would result in the optimization of this therapy for the treatment of CRPS.
NCT00666757
The purpose of this study is to compare duloxetine with other antidepressants in the treatment of severe depression.
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.
NCT00114972
The SYNTAX trial is designed to determine the best treatment for patients with complex coronary disease (blocked or narrowed arteries in both the right and left sides of the heart) by randomizing patients to receive either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting TAXUS stents or to coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
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.
NCT01026727
This phase 2b study is designed to assess the long-term efficacy (24 weeks) of MPC-4326 in combination with a 2-3 drug optimized background regimen (OBR) relative to the efficacy of a 3-4 antiretroviral (ARV) regimen in treatment experienced, HIV-1 infected subjects.
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.
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.
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.
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.
