NCT00144911
This study evaluates the effect of two medicines on COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) exacerbations. This study will last up to 56 weeks, and subjects will visit the clinic 10 times. Subjects will be given breathing tests and will record their breathing symptoms daily on diary cards. All study related medicines and medical examinations will be provided at no cost. The two drugs used in this study have been approved by the FDA for use in patients with COPD.
NCT02490202
Safety and efficacy study of SANGUINATE on reduction of delayed graft function (DGF) in patients who will be recipients of a donation after brain death (DBD) donor kidney.
NCT01144169
The main goal of this research study is to determine whether treating patients with renal cell cancer with hydroxychloroquine before surgery can make the cancer easier to kill. Another goal is to see how the study drug affects the body's immune cells which fight cancer cells.
NCT02109822
The goal of this research study is to better understand current treatment practices for pulmonary exacerbations (lung infections) and whether the Cystic Fibrosis National Patient Registry (CFFNPR)can be used for this type of study.
NCT00296530
This study will last up to 6 weeks. Subjects will visit the clinic up to 5 times. Certain clinic visits will include a physical examination, medical history review, and lung function tests. All study related medications and medical examinations will be provided at no cost to the subject. The drugs used in this study are approved for the age group under study.
NCT00373542
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ropinirole CR-RLS in the treatment of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome and associated sleep disturbance and period limb movements during sleep.
NCT00979654
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of sifalimumab in adult participants with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or active dermatomyositis (DM) or polymyositis (PM) who participated in the following clinical studies: MI-CP151, MI-CP152, or MI-CP179.
NCT02025907
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of canagliflozin (JNJ-28431754) compared to placebo in the treatment of participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), who have inadequate glycemic control on maximally or near-maximally effective doses of metformin and sitagliptin.
NCT01328951
This double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the benefit of first-line maintenance erlotinib (Tarceva) versus erlotinib at the time of disease progression in participants with advanced NSCLC who have not progressed following 4 cycles of platinum based-chemotherapy and whose tumor does not harbor an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutation. Participants will be randomized to receive either erlotinib 150 milligrams (mg) orally (PO) once daily or placebo. Participants who progress on placebo will receive erlotinib 150 mg PO once daily as second-line therapy, and those who progress on erlotinib may switch to a non-investigational, second-line chemotherapy. Treatments will continue until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. Participants may also be entered into a final Survival Follow-Up (SFU) period upon treatment discontinuation.
NCT00001115
Part A: To evaluate the impact of HSV suppression with acyclovir ( ACV ) on HIV burden in patients with asymptomatic HSV infection and at high risk for HSV reactivation. Part B: To characterize the change in plasma HIV RNA levels and other measures of HIV burden during and after a 10 day course of ACV treatment for acute HSV infection. Approximately 70% of patients infected with HIV are concurrently infected with HSV. There is new evidence to suggest that HSV may act as a co-factor in HIV disease progression. This study will attempt to determine if the upregulation of HIV RNA that occurs during symptomatic HSV reactivation also occurs during asymptomatic HSV reactivation and if suppression of HSV will result in decreased levels of HIV RNA. There is a need to determine the patterns of association between HSV and HIV.
NCT01503021
The purpose of the parent study is to assess the short-term safety and tolerability of soluble ferric pyrophosphate (SFP) in dialysate administered to a large number of representative adult chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis (CKD-HD). The purpose of the extension study is to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of SFP.
NCT02596477
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether vepoloxamer can provide a blood chemical marker and functional benefit to damaged heart muscle cells. This will be evaluated by measurement of blood-based laboratory markers, exercise tolerance, and echocardiograms. In addition, the safety and blood levels of vepoloxamer in subjects with chronic heart failure will be evaluated.
NCT01947036
The study aims to establish whether defects in immune cell function are shared across multiple autoimmune diseases and whether those problems match to similar genes in the cells.
NCT02353182
Animal studies suggest general anaesthetics harm the developing brain. It is unclear if these findings are relevant to humans but the issue has become a major concern. Recent data have found that monkeys exposed to anaesthesia as infants grow up to have slower learning than those not exposed. The aim of the TREX pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an alternative anaesthetic regimen for lower abdominal/lower extremity surgery in infants 1-12 months of age.
NCT00346749
This study evaluates the effect of two medicines on COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). The study will last 12 weeks. At the end of 12 weeks of treatment, subjects will stop the study medicines for 2 weeks. The study will involve 6 visits to the clinic. Subjects who elect to undergo bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) procedures will have 8 study visits. Subjects will give sputum, blood, and in some cases BAL samples. Subjects will have breathing tests and will complete diary cards during the study. All study medicines and examinations will be given at no cost to the study subjects. Both medicines used in this study have been approved by the US FDA.
NCT02449616
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of repeat administration of MST-188 during vaso-occlusive crisis of sickle cell disease. Additionally, this study will evaluate the development of acute chest syndrome during VOC and re-hospitalization for recurrence of VOC.
NCT02290509
Randomized, double-blind trial of safety and immunogenicity of Flublok Quadrivalent versus Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (IIV4) in 1350 healthy, medically stable adults 18-49 years of age. Serum samples for Hemagglutinin Inhibition titers will be determined pre- and 28 days post-vaccination. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after vaccination for serious and/or medically-attended adverse events.
NCT00354536
This study is a placebo-controlled study in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to assess safety and tolerability parameters, the levels of GSK716155 in the bloodstream when it is given at the same dose 7 days apart, and the impact this medication has on various substances in the blood. Assessments include ECGs, vital signs, repeat blood sampling and monitoring of any side effects.
NCT01715896
The primary objectives of this study is to explore the efficacy of mavrilimumab compared with golimumab in the treatment of adult subjects 18-80 years of age with moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have an inadequate response to one or more conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and/or one or two anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents (excluding golimumab) for efficacy or safety reasons.
NCT00264667
