NCT00118768
This Phase II study is being conducted in treatment-naive patients (no previous antiviral therapy for Hepatitis C infection) with genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of valopicitabine alone and together with Pegylated Interferon (a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Hepatitis C infection).
NCT00847743
Oxidative stress has been linked to many diseases associated with aging, including coronary heart disease and Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidants and special proteins in the body work together to help prevent damage by free radicals. Some studies have indicated that as people age, they are less able to fight off oxidative stress and have increased levels of inflammation. Tart cherries are known to be rich in antioxidants and plant-nutrients. The product we are using in this study is an all-natural tart cherry juice, mixed with apple juice concentrate and containing no additives and no preservatives. We hope to learn whether antioxidant supplementation, such as tart cherry juice, can measurably decrease oxidative damage and inflammation associated with aging.
NCT00043576

NCT00111618
The purpose of this trial is to confirm a safe dose of AS1404, to be given with docetaxel, and to see whether adding AS1404 and docetaxel together improves the outcome of the treatment, when compared to docetaxel alone.
NCT00070629
Eligible patients will be randomized in a ratio of 2:1 to receive either chemotherapy (a taxane and a platinum compound) plus CPG 7909 Injection or chemotherapy alone. Protocol therapy will be administered until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. CpG 7909 Injection will be administered subcutaneously, on Weeks 2 and 3 of each three-week cycle (days 8 and 15) and chemotherapy will be administered on Week 1 (Day 1). Patients will undergo complete disease evaluation at the end of every other treatment cycle until disease progression.
NCT00410592
This study will be conducted in order to determine safety and efficacy esomeprazole, lansoprazole and pantoprazole control stomach acid by measuring the stomach acid in men and women of Hispanic origin who have GERD.
NCT00086099
The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To evaluate whether the addition of amifostine will allow for the safe administration of idarubicin at a dose of 21 mg/m² in combination with standard-dose ara-C in older patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML); and 2. To estimate the complete remission rate of induction therapy with amifostine, idarubicin (21 mg/m²), plus ara-C or induction therapy with idarubicin (12 mg/m²) plus ara-C in this patient population.
NCT00200018
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of an implanted device that stimulates the stomach on weight loss in patients suffering from obesity and type 2 diabetes.
NCT00662116
This study is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of alagebrium in subjects diagnosed with diastolic heart failure. The primary assessment for effectiveness is the assessment of exercise tolerance.
NCT00335374
This is a multicenter, 6 months open label safety extension study for all patients who are willing and eligible to continue from the pivotal, double-blind S308.3.003 trial
NCT00007774
Although currently marketed antipsychotic drugs are useful in the treatment of schizophrenia, efficacy and safety profiles need to be improved. Forty to eighty percent of patients either fail to respond or only partially respond to conventional antipsychotic agents. Secondary symptoms may be unimproved even in patients who respond to treatment. A variety of adverse events occur in patients receiving currently available agents. The severity of these events contributes to the poor compliance that is observed in this patient population. Olanzapine is a novel antipsychotic agent with a reduced incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms. Other side effects are minimal.
NCT00235729
The main objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of lofexidine in reducing withdrawal symptoms among subjects undergoing opiate detoxification. Currently, lofexidine is the most commonly used non-opiate medication for detoxification from opiates in the United Kingdom (UK). There is no non-opiate medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the same indication in the United States (US). The only medications currently approved by the FDA for opiate detoxification are methadone and buprenorphine. These medications, however, have the potential to be abused. Lofexidine, on the other hand, offers a unique advantage for opiate detoxification because it is not addicting, is easy to use, and has a favorable safety profile.
NCT00342602
This study will identify genetic factors associated with the development of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). PML is a life-threatening infection of the brain that affects about 5 percent of untreated patients with AIDS. Its symptoms include mental deterioration, vision loss, speech disturbances, ataxia (inability to coordinate movements), paralysis, and coma. PML is caused by a polyomavirus called the JC virus. It is estimated that up to 80 percent of the human population has been exposed to the JC virus, but the disease is very rare. The virus only becomes active in people who have compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing immune suppressive chemotherapy for cancer and those with damaged immune systems due to HIV. Patients who have participated in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study may be eligible for this study, as well as healthy normal volunteers who will serve as controls. The study will review clinical information from patients and analyze genetic factors from both patients and control subjects to investigate genes associated with AIDS and JC virus infection.
NCT00004017
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for some types of brain tumors. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiolabeled monoclonal antibody in treating patients who have glioblastoma multiforme or anaplastic astrocytoma.
NCT00058981
Randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate safety and efficacy of multiple subcutaneous doses of DiaPep277 in patients with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA). Study medication will be administered at time 0, 1 and 3 months, and then every 3 months for a total of 8 administrations. The total duration of the trial is 24 months (treatment for 18 months and follow-up for an additional 6 months). Patients will be male or female between the ages of 30 and 65 years, inclusive, within 2 to 60 months of the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Subjects must be positive for glutamic acid decarboxylate (GAD) autoantibodies. At the Screen Visit (Visit 2), all subjects will be asked to discontinue their use of all oral antidiabetic medications with the exception of metformin. The subjects will be placed on a stable regimen of insulin and diet (plus metformin if needed). Prior to the Baseline Visit (Visit 3), diabetic control must be achieved by diet and insulin (plus metformin if needed).
NCT00420719

This device currently holds an Investigational Device Exemption No. G040142 in the United States and is currently undergoing clinical trials at University Hospitals (Cleveland), Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC), Henry Ford Health System, The Methodist Hospital, and Stanford University.
NCT00474656
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common and catastrophic complication of critical illness related to burns, motor vehicle accidents, or overwhelming infection. ARDS kills 40-70% of affected patients. Patients with ARDS require life support in the form of a ventilator to breathe for them while their lungs heal. Ironically, ventilators can cause further damage to the lungs. We are conducting a study comparing 2 methods to protect the lungs from further damage. One method uses standard mechanical ventilators and the other uses a new type of ventilator, called a high frequency oscillator. We propose to test whether this high frequency oscillation will reduce the relative risk of dying from ARDS. 72 patients from 12 intensive care units in Canada and Saudi Arabia will participate in this preliminary study to test the feasibility of our study methods. If feasible, we plan to move on and conduct a large multinational study to definitively answer this question.
