NCT00637247
The purpose of this study is to determine if imexon in combination with gemcitabine could improve overall survival as compared to gemcitabine alone in subjects with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs such as the liver or lungs. The study will also look at the safety of the combination as compared to gemcitabine alone. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to either treatment and neither the participant or their doctors will know which treatment they will be receiving.
NCT00938431
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of LCM syrup in children ages from 1 month to 17 years with uncontrolled partial seizures when added to 1 to 3 other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).
NCT02867709
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 doses of ubrogepant (25 and 50 mg) compared to placebo for the acute treatment of a single migraine attack.
NCT02396745
This study will test the safety and effectiveness of esophageal transoral endoscopic circumferential resection (TECR) using an extracellular matrix (ECM) placement to treat Barrett's esophagus in patients with high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Endoscopic circumferential resection using ECM placement has been introduced as a less invasive, externally incision-less approach to treat patients with esophageal high grade dysplasia; a pre-cancerous condition. In this procedure, the entire length of diseased (abnormal) mucosa (esophagus lining) will be removed using an endoscope that will be inserted through the mouth. The ECM will be placed over the area that is being removed with a temporary, expandable stent to prevent narrowing of the esophagus. The stent is being used to hold the ECM in place as the body begins the healing process. This stent will be removed 14 days (±4 days) after this procedure. Follow-up esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGD), barium swallow x-ray tests, and questionnaires will take place for 12 months following the procedure. The result of this study may help doctors determine if this procedure would be a more effective treatment option for HGD in the future.
NCT02696148
This trial is conducted in the United States of America. The aim of this trial is to investigate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of liraglutide in obese children aged 7 to 11 years
NCT01663402
Primary Objective: To compare the effect of alirocumab with placebo on the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events (composite endpoint of coronary heart disease (CHD) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), fatal and non-fatal ischemic stroke, unstable angina (UA) requiring hospitalization) in participants who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event 4 to 52 weeks prior to randomization and were treated with evidence-based medical and dietary management of dyslipidemia. Secondary Objectives: * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on secondary endpoints (any CHD event , major CHD event, any CV event, composite of all cause mortality/non-fatal MI/non-fatal ischemic stroke, CHD deaths, CV deaths, all cause mortality). * To evaluate the safety and tolerability of alirocumab. * To evaluate the effect of alirocumab on lipid parameters.
NCT02037555
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of human-derived antithrombin III (AT-III \[Human\]) supplementation prior to high-risk, non-emergency, cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A total of 404 adult subjects undergoing CPB who meet the study eligibility criteria were planned to be randomized to receive either AT-III (Human) or placebo.
NCT01176266
This clinical trial was conducted to study hypophosphatasia (HPP), a bone disorder caused by gene mutations or changes. These gene mutations cause low levels of an enzyme needed to harden bone. The purpose of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of a study drug called asfotase alfa (human recombinant tissue non-specific alkaline phosphate fusion protein) to see what effects it has on patients 5 years of age or less with HPP.
NCT02072434
The purpose of this study is to compare edoxaban to warfarin (with enoxaparin, if needed). It will see if edoxaban prevents stroke and other blood clotting problems as well and as safely as warfarin. People with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) might be able to join. Their doctors must plan to use shock to make their hearts beat normally. About 2200 people from different countries will join. They will have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. They are anticipated to be in the study for around 82 days. Tests will include physicals and finger-pricks. Participants will provide blood and urine samples.
NCT02132767
The purpose of this study is to compare the therapeutic strategies of rate control versus rhythm control in cardiac surgery patients who develop in-hospital postoperative atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (AF). In patients who develop AF during hospitalization after cardiac surgery, the hypothesis is that a strategy of rhythm control will reduce days in hospital within 60 days of the occurrence of AF compared to a strategy of rate control.
NCT00807040
People with coronary artery disease (CAD) or people who have had a heart attack may develop a leak in the mitral valve of their heart and may therefore need to undergo surgery to fix the valve. The best way to fix the mitral valve remains undetermined. This study will evaluate whether it is better for people with severe mitral valve leakage to undergo a mitral valve replacement procedure or a mitral valve repair procedure.
NCT01790295
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving the study drug Ruxolitinib (INC424) prior to a combination of other chemotherapeutic drugs (Fludarabine and Busulfan) before infusing another person's hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow transplantation) will be successful in people who have advanced primary myelofibrosis (PMF), post-polycythemia vera myelofibrosis (PPV-MF) or post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis (PET-MF), collectively known as myelofibrosis (MF). MF is a disorder in which bone marrow tissue develops in abnormal sites because the bone marrow itself undergoes fibrosis or scarring. This study plans to evaluate whether adding the drug Ruxolitinib will further aid in reducing pre-transplant spleen size, improve physical performance levels and reduce adverse events (side effects) related to the transplant. Ruxolitinib is a drug that is approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with advanced forms of myelofibrosis. Using Ruxolitinib prior to stem cell transplantation is experimental.
NCT01142791
The objective of this Phase IV study is to evaluate the safety of the ExAblate treatment of uterine fibroids using the enhanced sonication techniques, based on the current commercially-approved treatment guidelines. Treatment may include up to 100% of individual fibroid volume, within established serosal and sacral treatment margins. The Enhanced sonication is one of the various sonication modes that may lead to increased thermal dose volume of each sonication without additional safety risks. This is an additional treatment tool available in the ExAblate system for the treatment of uterine fibroids. The safety profile of the Enhanced Sonication was investigated under an FDA-regulated IDE study. FDA granted approval of Enhanced Sonication with the requirement to perform a post-approval study to collect additional safety data when treating up to 100% of individual fibroid volume.
