NCT01278173
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the change in visual fields by means of automated static perimetry and to evaluate the change in retinal structure by means of spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in adult patients with refractory complex partial seizures (CPS) being treated with vigabatrin (Sabril®)
NCT00486668
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether breast cancer tumors respond (as measured by pathologic complete response: the absence of microscopic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the breast) to combined chemotherapy of AC(doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide) followed by paclitaxel plus trastuzumab or lapatinib or both given before surgery to patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab will also be given to all patients after surgery. The study will also evaluate the toxic effects of the chemotherapy combination, including effects on the heart, and will determine survival and progression-free survival 5 years after treatment. Also, the study will look at whether there are gene expression profiles in the tumor tissue that can predict pathologic complete response.
NCT01013324
There has not been any systemic therapy approved in the United States or in Europe for treating advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of XL147 in advanced or recurrent EC. Constitutively active phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN) pathway signaling is common in EC and involved in the development and/or progression of the disease. PTEN deficiency and/or activating mutations/amplification in the PIK3CA gene that encodes the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K have been frequently detected in EC patients. XL147 is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of the Class I PI3K family of lipid kinases. In addition, in vivo preclinical data have demonstrated that XL147 targets both proximal and distal signaling in the PI3K/PTEN pathway. Therefore, XL147 may have utility in the treatment of subjects with advanced or recurrent EC.
NCT00993018
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy, safety and tolerability of multiple doses of JNJ-42160443 when administered as a single, subcutaneous injection every 28 days to patients with diabetic painful neuropathy (a disease condition in diabetic patients that affects all peripheral nerves including pain fibers, motor neurons and the autonomic nervous system).
NCT01492426
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of BMS-790052 (Daclatasvir) and Telaprevir when given in combination with Peginterferon alfa-2a and Ribavirin in genotype 1b patients
NCT00144014
A Phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of five dose levels of study drug in acute ischaemic stroke
NCT01300988
The investigators' in vitro data suggest that Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists like aprepitant will decrease the expression of CCR5, an essential co-receptor in the life cycle of HIV, in the surface of macrophages and lymphocytes to levels at least similar to those observed in patients heterozygous for the CCR5 32 mutation. Together with a direct potential antiviral effect this could alter disease progression in patients with HIV infection. The investigators' hypothesis is that aprepitant is safe, tolerable and has antiviral activity in HIV infected individuals. This is randomized, placebo controlled, double blind study to determine the safety and antiviral activity of aprepitant by comparing the change in HIV RNA viral load after 2 weeks of aprepitant monotherapy. 18 HIV infected males and females ≥ 18 years old who have early infection with CD4 cell counts ≥ 350 cells/mm3. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive 375 mg of aprepitant (Emend®) or placebo.
NCT02466061
This randomized, controlled study evaluates the efficacy of weigh loss interventions in endometrial cancer survivors, using novel technology-based weight loss platforms. This is a multi-site, pilot feasibility study which will provide preliminary data to support a larger NIH funded, mult-center trial.
NCT01549964
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of TAK-875 (25 mg and 50 mg), once daily (QD), plus metformin compared to placebo plus metformin and sitagliptin plus metformin on lowering blood sugar.
NCT01829477
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of TAK-875 compared to placebo on glycemic control over a 24-week Treatment Period when used as an add-on to glimepiride in addition to diet and exercise.
NCT00299325
Primary objective: To assess the effect of rimonabant on visceral fat area over a period of 12 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in abdominally obese patients with metabolic syndrome Secondary objectives: * To assess the effect of rimonabant over a period of 12 months on: * Liver fat content using CT scan (Computed Tomography scan) * Anthropometric measures (weight, waist circumference, body composition using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)) * Lipid, lipoprotein profile * Glycemia, insulinemia and HbA1c * Adipokines, inflammatory and hemostatic markers * To evaluate the percentage of patients with metabolic syndrome at 12 months * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimonabant in these patients In four selected US sites the effect of rimonabant at 12 months will be also assessed on: * Basal lipolysis and insulin suppressed lipolysis (euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp). * Resting metabolic rate and substrate oxidation at rest using indirect calorimetry. * Adipose tissue histology and expression of genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism (superficial adipose tissue biopsy).
NCT00417209
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and the safety Larotaxel administered as single agent every 3 weeks to continuous administration of 5-FU every 3 weeks, in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (non operable in a curative intent, locally recurrent or metastatic) previously treated with gemcitabine based therapy.
NCT01942213
This open-label, Phase IV prospective, observational study will evaluate patients, who have been diagnosed with Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration and have previously received either a standard intravitreal injection of ranibizumab or aflibercept, in order to get and compare information regarding post-injection inflammatory (irritation in the eye)2-3 days post-injection. Additionally, patients will be evaluated for visual acuity and pain 2-3 days post-injection.
NCT01290887

NCT00175526
At present, the management of pre-eclampsia is guided by expert opinions that are not well-based on firm evidence. What is required is a clinical tool that can accurately determine a women's risk for adverse outcomes, and thereby reduce the risk for women while safely prolonging pregnancies remote from term (to improve fetal outcomes). This research project, 'a severity score for pre-eclampsia,' will develop such a clinical tool that is specific to the condition. This severity score will be used clinically (to guide management) and in research (in both clinical trials and basic science research), and will provide an evidence base on which to build future practice, improving outcomes for pregnant women and their babies. In addition, this project is part of a three part strategy to better understand the mechanisms of disease in pre-eclampsia and to investigate a potential disease-modifying therapy, namely, recombinant human activated protein C.
