NCT01050257
This partially randomized, multi-center parallel-group study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and the effect on viral load and viral shedding of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) in patients with influenza. Adult and adolescent patients will be randomized to receive either 100 mg or 200 mg of study drug intravenously every 12 hours. Investigators and patients are blinded to knowledge of the assigned dose of Tamiflu. There is an option to convert to oral Tamiflu after 6 intravenous infusions. The anticipated time on study treatment is 5 days, with an optional treatment extension of a further 5 days, if necessary. There will be a non-randomized, open-label treatment group for patients with moderate/severe renal impairment or renal failure. Intravenous dose levels and frequency will be adjusted appropriately to their renal situation.
NCT00003563
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Gadolinium texaphyrin may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy by making tumor cells more sensitive to radiation. It is not yet known whether giving gadolinium texaphyrin with radiation therapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating brain metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy with or without gadolinium texaphyrin in treating patients who have brain metastases.
NCT00148486

NCT01136655
This purpose of the study is to investigate the bronchodilating effects of 3 different dosages of formoterol given in combination with budesonide as Symbicort pMDI.
NCT00032643
Congestive heart failure (CHF) affects 4-5 million Americans, and its prevalence is predicted to increase over the next few decades. Thyroid hormone has unique actions which make it a novel and potentially useful agent for treatment of CHF. Due to possible adverse affects of thyroid hormone, there is interest in developing analogs with fewer undesirable side effects. 3,5- diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) has been shown to improve diastolic function in both animal models and a recently completed double-blind placebo controlled trial in 19 humans. The goal of the proposed Phase II study is to show safety and demonstrate a medication of efficacy of DITPA needed in patients with CHF. This study is a prerequisite for a larger Phase III trial which would determine whether mortality is improved with DITPA. To better define the appropriate doses, prior to the Phase II study we will conduct an initial pharmacokinetic study.
NCT00375284
This trial is a 6-week, double-blind, randomized, active and placebo-controlled parallel-group study with a primary objective of comparison of starting doses of pramipexole fixed-dose (0.25 mg daily) and pramipexole titrated-dose (0.125 mg qd for 1 week, then 0.25 mg qd for the remaining 5 weeks) with placebo to evaluate efficacy and safety in treating RLS symptoms in patients diagnosed with idiopathic RLS. The secondary objectives of this study will be to assess the onset of action of symptomatic relief of RLS for pramipexole with daily assessment of PGI and modified IRLS during two intervals of the first 2 weeks (Days 2, 3 and 4 and Days 9, 10, and 11) and assessment of IRLS, PGI and CGI-I at Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6 (CGI-I additionally on Day 3).
NCT00605683
Parkinson's disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder in which there is a progressive loss of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. The understanding that PD is a syndrome of dopamine (DA) deficiency led to the introduction in the clinical practice of L-dopa, a precursor of DA that crosses the blood brain barrier, and also to the use of selective inhibitors of MAO B, the major DA metabolising enzyme in man. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomised, multi-centre, multi national, Phase III trial, comparing two doses of safinamide (50 and 100 mg p.o. q.a.m.) versus placebo as add-on therapy to a stable dose of a single dopamine agonist in subjects with early idiopathic Parkinson's Disease. The principal efficacy measure, i.e., change in mean value of UPDRS - Section III total score from baseline to endpoint, was chosen based on regulatory guidance and prior use in other trials in similar populations.
NCT00096616
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superior bronchodilator efficacy of inhaled Combivent® CFC MDI vs. Albuterol HFA MDI in moderate to severe asthma patients.
NCT00274547
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether treatment with tiotropium (18 mcg) capsule once daily via the HandiHaler reduces the proportion of patients with COPD experiencing an exacerbation and the proportion of patients hospitalized for an exacerbation during a six month observation period.
NCT00743795
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the experimental drug GS-9190 when administered for 24 or 48 weeks with peginterferon alfa 2a and ribavirin for the treatment of genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C infection.
NCT00240435
The primary objective was to compare the bronchodilator efficacy of two doses (5 mcg and 10 mcg) of tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat inhaler once daily to placebo and to ipratropium bromide MDI four times daily in patients with COPD. The secondary objective was to compare the safety of tiotropium inhalation solution delivered by the Respimat to placebo and ipratropium bromide MDI.
