NCT00032591
Since home monitors of prothrombin time (PT) may potentially improve the safety, quality, and convenience of chronic anticoagulation management, it is likely that there will be demands from providers, patients, and manufacturers to make home monitors available to VA patients. The rationale for patient self-testing (PST) is that, compared to conventional high quality anticoagulation management (HQACM), it would permit more intense monitoring and increased patient participation in his/her own care, resulting in increased precision in anticoagulation control and thus fewer events of thromboembolism (strokes) and bleeding. The secondary hypothesis is that PST and HQACM will be comparable in terms of health care utilization and cost.
NCT00245739
The purpose of this study is to provide early access to TMC114 (a protease inhibitor) for HIV-1 infected patients with limited or no treatment options, who have failed multiple antiretroviral (ARV) regimens, and to evaluate the longer-term safety and tolerability of TMC114/r in combination with other antiretrovirals
NCT00768300
The ARTEMIS-IPF study was conducted to determine if ambrisentan was effective in delaying disease progression and death in participants with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), to evaluate its safety, and to evaluate its effect on development of pulmonary hypertension, quality of life, and dyspnea (shortness of breath) symptoms in this participant population. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive ambrisentan or placebo, respectively. Participation in the study was to be up to 4 years, depending on how long it would take to enroll participants and observe study events. After randomization, visits to the clinic took place every 3 months, and laboratory procedures were performed every month.
NCT01117350
Primary objective: To demonstrate the superiority of insulin glargine over liraglutide in terms of percentage of patients reaching a Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) \< 7% at the end of the comparative period (24 weeks) in Type 2 diabetic patients failing lifestyle management and oral agents Secondary objectives of the comparative period (24 weeks): \>To assess the effect of insulin glargine in comparison with liraglutide on: * HbA1c level * Percentage of patients whose HbA1c has decreased but remains \>= 7% at the end of the comparative period * Percentage of patients whose HbA1c has increased at the end of the comparative period * Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) * 7-point Plasma Glucose (PG) profiles * Hypoglycemia occurrence * Body weight * Adverse events Objectives of the extension period (24 weeks): \>To assess the effect of insulin glargine in patients not adequately controlled with liraglutide on: * HbA1c level * FPG * 7-point PG profiles * Hypoglycemia occurrence * Body weight * Adverse events
NCT00317642
Clofarabine (injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute or refractory lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens. There is no recommended standard treatment for relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia in older patients. Cytarabine is the most commonly used drug to treat these patients. This study will determine if there is benefit by combining clofarabine with cytarabine. Patients will be randomized to receive up to 3 cycles of treatment with either placebo in combination with cytarabine or clofarabine in combination with cytarabine. Randomization was stratified by remission status following the first induction regimen (no remission \[i.e., CR1 = refractory\] or remission \<6 months vs CR1 = remission ≥6 months). CR1 is defined as remission after first pre-study induction regimen. The safety and tolerability of clofarabine in combination with cytarabine and cytarabine alone will be monitored throughout the study.
NCT00373529
Clolar (clofarabine injection) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of pediatric patients 1 to 21 years old with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had at least 2 prior treatment regimens. This study will evaluate the efficacy of clofarabine in elderly patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who are unlikely to benefit from treatment with intensive chemotherapy regimens (cytarabine and anthracycline based regimens) used in younger patients with AML.
NCT01596920
The primary objective of the present study is to further establish in a randomized controlled trial, the safety and efficacy of weekly Grafix® administration versus control in patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers. The primary endpoint is complete wound closure of the index wound, defined as 100% re-epithelialization as determined by the Investigator. Grafix® is a product regulated for use in the US by the FDA as a Human Cellular and Tissue Based Product (HCT/P) under Title 21 CFR Part 1271.
NCT00109967
This phase II trial is studying how well giving CCI-779 together with rituximab works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving CCI-779 together with rituximab may kill more cancer cells
NCT00643201
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of an investigational blood thinner, apixaban, in preventing venous thromboembolic (VTE) recurrence or death in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE)
NCT00868699
This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe for the treatment of patients with bipolar I depression
NCT00951938
The purpose of this study is to utilize Trinity Evolution in conjunction with an interbody spacer and supplemental anterior fixation of the surgeon's choice and to follow the patients to measure the clinical outcomes and rate of fusion. The hypothesis of the study is that Trinity Evolution combined with an interbody spacer and supplemental anterior fixation will result in fusion rates and clinical outcomes similar to those with other routinely used autograft and allograft materials including: fusion, improvement in pain and function, maintenance of upper extremity neurological function, and absence of serious adverse events related to the use of the Trinity Evolution product.
NCT00001102
The purpose of this study is to see how taking certain anti-HIV drugs affects the way the body metabolizes fat. This study will evaluate patients who are enrolled in CPCRA 058 (the FIRST \[Flexible Initial Retrovirus Suppressive Therapies\] study) by looking for changes in cholesterol levels, levels of fat in the blood, and body fat distribution. Patients in the FIRST study receive an anti-HIV drug regimen which contains a protease inhibitor (PI), a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or both. Anti-HIV drug therapy using PIs has become very common treatment for HIV-positive patients. Recently, however, serious side effects involving how the body uses fat are being reported in patients taking PIs. Examples of these side effects are a redistribution of body fat, high cholesterol level, and development of diabetes. However, some of these side effects have also been seen in patients who are not taking PIs. It is important to determine whether or not these side effects are directly related to PI use. In this study, patients on different drug combinations, either with or without a PI, will be compared.
NCT00000922
The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is better to start an anti-HIV regimen containing a protease inhibitor (PI), a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI), or a PI in combination with an NNRTI. This study will also examine which treatment regimen is best as a first treatment for HIV infection.
NCT00386035
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two different anti-HIV drug regimens on HIV transmission risk behavior among SMART study participants.
NCT01483586
This research is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational Kanglaite gelcap (KLTc) on PSA in men with prostate cancer when given for twelve months.
