NCT00055120
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of starting anti-HIV drugs in HIV infected patients who are being treated for opportunistic infections (OIs). This study will follow two patient groups: those who received anti-HIV drugs soon after being diagnosed with an OI and patients with OIs who deferred beginning anti-HIV drugs until after recovering from the OI.
NCT01601574
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Weight Watchers program modified for use by people with Type 2 diabetes results in more improvements in blood glucose control relative to a control group receiving standard diabetes counseling.
NCT00924352
The primary objective for the Phase I portion of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and for the Phase II portion of the study is to evaluate progression free survival (PFS). Secondary objectives are response rate, clinical benefit rate, and overall toxicity.
NCT01430754
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the maintenance effect and safety of 20 mg tasimelteon versus placebo in subjects suffering from Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder.
NCT00308308
To determine the safety and efficacy of inhaled insulin in the treatment of type 1 diabetes
NCT00987831
Hypothesis: A reason for repeated disappointing outcomes of clinical trials testing targeted immune biologics for lupus may be the heterogeneity of the disease, exacerbated by the variable effects on immune homeostasis of the background medications that must be continued, in most study designs, in these flare-prone patients. Purpose of Study: This study was designed to purposefully study a population equivalent to the placebo group of typical trials in SLE. In Group A patients entered the trial in mild-moderate flare, were treated with depomedrol, and any background immune suppressants withdrawn. Biomarkers at entry on various medications can be compared to biomarkers after steroid efficacy with background immune suppressants withdrawn. Depomedrol usually wears off over one to three months. Patients were closely observed, with serial biomarkers drawn at monthly intervals or immediately at the time of a new flare. Those patients developing new flares donated blood samples, were immediately treated as deemed appropriate, exiting the study. Group A was designed for up to 50 patients and recruited a total of 41. An additional group of 62 SLE patients donated blood once without additional interventions in order to increase the power of exploratory cross-sectional biomarker analysis on different immune suppressants (Group B). A control population of matched, healthy individuals donated blood twice for the same biomarker studies to validate these assays (Group C).
NCT00924560
This study is being conducted to compare the effects of a 91-day oral contraceptive (OC) to a 28-day OC regimen on bone mineral density (BMD) in adolescent females.
NCT00209417
It is well known that X-ray contrast media can affect kidney function in some patients, especially when administered intra-arterially, and patients who already suffer from reduced kidney function and diabetes mellitus may be at increased risk. It is widely accepted to use low-osmolar or iso-osmolar contrast media, especially in patients at risk for contrast media-induced nephropathy. However, little is known about the intravenous use of X-ray contrast media in risk patients, such as contrast-enhanced CT examinations. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects on kidney function of two contrast media, the iso-osmolar iodixanol and the low-osmolar iopamidol in patients at risk of kidney damage associated with the injection of contrast media. Due to the iso-osmolar feature, it is expected less influence on renal function following administration of iodixanol. A standard hydration procedure, based on available guidelines will be given to all patients to prevent negative effects on the kidneys. Serum creatinine (SCr ) concentrations will be measured before and up to 7 days after contrast media administration to evaluate the effects on renal function.
NCT01567163
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of concomitant ramucirumab on the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel in participants with advanced malignant solid tumors. Participants who do not complete both Cycle 1, Day 1, and Cycle 2, Day 1 according to schedule will be replaced for the purpose of analysis; these participants may continue to receive study therapy. No dose reductions, delayed or missed doses are allowed during Cycles 1 and 2.
NCT00291187
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of VEC-162 compared to placebo to improve sleep parameters in a model of insomnia.
NCT00548340
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 5 week double-blind treatment period of VEC-162 as compared to placebo in male and female patients with primary insomnia.
NCT00525447
This is a Phase I, open-label, multi-dose trial to define the MTD and tolerability of a regimen including lenalidomide, dexamethasone, and intravenous SGN-40 in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.
NCT00602771
This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving tipifarnib together with etoposide works in treating older patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving tipifarnib together with etoposide may kill more cancer cells.
NCT01451398
Insulin-naive subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who are sub-optimally controlled on either maximum tolerated dose of metformin or maximum tolerated dose of metformin plus one or two other oral anti-diabetic medications will have either Prandial Technosphere® Insulin or Technosphere Powder (placebo) added to their oral antidiabetic drugs.
NCT01277523
The overall purpose of the trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of tiotropium inhalation solution delivered via Respimat® inhaler (2.5 mcg and 5 mcg once daily) over 12 weeks, compared to placebo, as add-on controller therapy on top of usual care in adolescents (12 to 17 years old) with severe persistent asthma. The primary objective of the trial is to demonstrate superiority of tiotropium (5 mcg and possibly 2.5 mcg once daily in the evening) over placebo with regard to the primary pulmonary function endpoint after 12 weeks of treatment. Secondary objectives are to evaluate efficacy of tiotropium with regard to other endpoints, and to evaluate the safety of tiotropium, compared to placebo, as add-on controller therapy on top of usual care in this patient population.
NCT01422330
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the safety and tolerability of etravirine. Etravirine is a type of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) which has shown high activity against wild-type human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), and HIV strains resistant to other non-nucleotide agents.
NCT00700622
The objective of this study is to demonstrate that TI® Inhalation Powder combined with Lantus® is as effective as Humalog® combined with Lantus® on HbA1c.
NCT02164370
Acid/base imbalances are not well understood in pre-eclamptics, and better tools are needed to allow a thorough and meaningful evaluation. Disorders of electrolytes and albumin are common findings \[13, 14\], and the impact of such disorders on acid-base homeostasis has increasingly been acknowledged \[4, 15\]. The purpose of this prospective case-control study is to evaluate acid-base status in 100 women with mild or severe pre-eclampsia and 25 healthy controls by applying the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model. We hypothesize that several simultaneous, and possibly offsetting, metabolic acid-base disorders will be identified and quantified, and that these may be useful to guide clinicians in their medical management and indication for delivery. Intermediate and long-term goals are to evaluate the ability of the Stewart Fencl's physicochemical acid-base model to guide fluid management and predict maternal and neonatal outcomes.
