NCT00050375
This study will compare the time to disease relapse between OvaRex® MAb-B43.13-treated patients and placebo-treated patients. This study will also compare assessments of survival, quality of life, immune response and safety between active and placebo groups.
NCT00034138
The study will compare the pharmacokinetic profile of OvaRex MAb-B43.13 ascites fluid product and OvaRex MAb-B43.13 cell culture product. Safety and immune responses following treatment with the cell culture product will be evaluated.
NCT00151138
Randomized trial of two antihypertensive drugs of known efficacy to investigate whether one has more favorable effects on brain blood flow and cognitive function.
NCT00371605
A fixed-dosing regimen of voriconazole is routinely used as prophylaxis against aspergillosis in liver transplant patients admitted to the transplant intensive care unit at UPMC. We hypothesize that use of a fixed-dosing regimen of voriconazole will lead to a large degree of variability in drug exposure among liver transplant patients due to: 1) variability in absorption and elimination caused by physiological characteristics unique to this patient population 2) its non-linear pharmacokinetics and 3) the potential for polymorphism in the genes that encode for cytochrome P-450 enzymes that metabolize voriconazole. This is a pilot clinical pharmacokinetic evaluation that will: 1) characterize the plasma concentration versus time profile of voriconazole in liver transplant patients receiving a fixed-dosing regimen to assess for extremes in systemic exposure 2) determine the oral bioavailability of voriconazole in liver transplant patients 3) assess for functionally significant allelic variation of the cytochrome P-450 enzymes that metabolize voriconazole (CYP2C9, CYP2C19 and CYP3A4/5) in both recipient blood and allograft tissue that may contribute extremes in systemic exposure among liver transplant patients. This evaluation will allow for an assessment of the adequacy of the prophylactic regimen in achieving therapeutic drug concentrations in all subjects. Additionally, the utility of genotyping as a clinical tool to identify patients at risk for extremes in voriconazole exposure will be evaluated. The characterization of the pharmacokinetics in liver transplant patients may be utilized to define an optimal therapeutic regimen that will be individualized to target specific concentrations to maximize efficacy and minimize side-effects.
NCT00156403
This pilot study is a feasibility, safety, and preliminary benefits study to look at whether giving the calcium channel blocker amlodipine to people with hereditary pancreatitis as a prophylactic measure can reduce the inflammatory process in the pancreas.
NCT00177359
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of an intervention to improve walking based on motor learning (skill-based) compared to the usual intervention (strength, flexibility and balance-based) on clinical, psychological and laboratory measures of walking and balance of older adults with mobility disability (walking problems).
NCT00006204
This study will examine the effects of combing naltrexone and fluoxetine (Prozac) versus fluoxetine and placebo in alcoholics with co-occurring major depression. Both groups will actively participate in the 6-month study, which includes weekly individual Dual Disorders Recovery Counseling during the first month and every two weeks during the second through sixth months, plus the naltrexone and fluoxetine or fluoxetine and placebo. Subjects will complete follow-up assessments at 9 and 12 months.
NCT00318500
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of ERB-041 (75 mg and 150 mg) relative to placebo on the relief of endometriosis-related symptoms (dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and deep dyspareunia) in reproductive aged women.
NCT00267267
The Torcetrapib project was terminated on December 2, 2006 due to safety findings. Cholesterol levels will be measured over six weeks in subjects being treated with two different kinds of combination cholesterol medications to see how the different treatments compare to one another.
NCT00243984
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of topiramate compared to placebo in the treatment of obesity in metabolic syndrome. Secondary objectives include topiramate and weight loss effects on lipid levels, HbA1C, insulin resistance, and blood pressure.
NCT00047723
The purpose of this trial is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of minocycline compared to placebo in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
NCT00137332
The purpose of this study is to learn the effects of a test drug on heart rhythms, which may become life-threatening if left untreated, and to provide data to see if the drug is well tolerated and safe.
NCT00098124
Antidepressants of all varieties represent a common form of therapy for many chronic states including fibromyalgia. The majority of antidepressants increase the levels of serotonin or norepinephrine in the central nervous system. Milnacipran is a dual norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor and may be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
NCT00293891
A study to assess the safety and effectiveness of tacrolimus cream in the treatment of psoriasis.
NCT00301236
The purpose of this study is to determine which dosages of dexmethylphenidate HCl extended-release capsules may represent effective treatment for ADHD in children 6-12 years of age.
NCT00440492
The purpose of this study is to determine if PLA-695 changes the blood concentrations of methotrexate when administered together.
NCT00296387
The purpose of this study is to see if rosuvastatin compared to Atorvastatin is effective in treating ACS by decreasing the ApoB/ApoA-1 ratio and if starting statin within 24 h following the onset of the first symptoms is beneficial compared to placebo.
NCT00293930
A study to assess the safety and effectiveness of tacrolimus cream in the treatment of psoriasis
NCT00116467
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical and laboratory safety associated with the administration of GVAX leukemia vaccine and to determine the feasibility of generation of GVAX leukemia vaccine in subjects with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
NCT00057278
This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug gabapentin in reducing pain associated with primary fibromyalgia.
