NCT00266682
People who have a slow heart beat, or whose heart does not beat on its own, may be in need of an electronic device called a pacemaker. A pacemaker is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area. This device helps the heart beat at a regular rhythm by sending electrical signals (pacing) directly to the heart tissue through flexible wires called leads. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the SelectSecure (Model 3830) lead is safe and effective for both sensing the heart's natural rhythm and pacing the heart when it does not beat on its own. This lead will be studied in both the right atrium and right ventricle. A previously market approved Medtronic lead model will serve as a comparison to prove the safety and effectiveness of the SelectSecure Model.
NCT00383305
This is a research study of head cooling. Its goal is to determine whether cooling babies' heads can reduce or prevent brain damage that may have resulted from temporarily reduced oxygen supply to the brain. In this study, half of the babies (selected at random) will have a special cooling cap with circulating water placed on their head for 72 hours to lower the temperature of their brain. The rest of the baby's body will be maintained at a defined temperature by a standard overhead radiant heater. The study protocol includes the taking and analysis of blood samples, performance of brain wave tests, imaging of the brain by ultrasound, and other tests as clinically indicated. Neurodevelopmental outcome will also be assessed at 18 months of age.
NCT00179101
We will evaluate the effect of deep brain stimulation on the depression and quality of life in Parkinson's disease. We aim to compare depression pre-operatively and post-operatively in Parkinson's patients with deep brain stimulation to Parkinson's patients evaluated and approved for deep brain stimulation but who did not complete surgery. We will also compare quality of life measures between patients with and without deep brain stimulation.
NCT00105300
The goal of this study is to test whether adalimumab can induce clinical remission in subjects with active Crohn's disease who have been initially treated with infliximab and either lost response or discontinued its use as a result of intolerance to the drug.
NCT00112281
Tilarginine Acetate Injection is a new type of drug that temporarily stops the body from making a bodily substance called nitric oxide. The body may produce excess nitric oxide following severe heart damage leading to shock. During a heart attack, and especially after a blocked artery causing the heart attack is reopened, a large amount of nitric oxide is released into the heart muscle and into the blood. Normally small amounts of nitric oxide are good for the heart and blood vessels. However, when released in large amounts, such as during a heart attack, it may be harmful, by adding to the damage of the heart attack and lowering the heart's ability to pump blood to the body. It may cause blood pressure to be lowered and reduce the amount of blood flow to the body's vital organs. This may interfere with the body's organs being able to do their work. If Tilarginine Acetate Injection can stop extra nitric oxide from being made, the performance of the heart and blood flow to the organs may get better, which may result in the improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this study (TRIUMPH) is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of Tilarginine Acetate Injection compared to placebo (an inactive fluid that has no effect on the body but looks exactly like the medication being studied). The study will help determine whether Tilarginine Acetate Injection, by temporarily lowering the amount of nitric oxide released into the vital organs can improve blood pressure and the blood flow to the body's organs.
NCT00066898
To assess the safety and efficacy of AGI-1067, as compared to placebo, in the treatment of vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis by assessing the reduction in cardiovascular events.
NCT00080197
The purpose of this study is to determine if E7070 is an efficacious, safe, and tolerable treatment for patients with metastatic breast cancer who have failed, or could not tolerate, prior treatments with an anthracycline, a taxane, and capecitabine.
NCT00048451
The objective of this study is to determine whether paricalcitol is safe and effective compared to placebo in reducing elevated serum PTH levels in patients with chronic kidney disease.
NCT00071253
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of continued combination therapy using Depakote plus olanzapine, vs. Depakote monotherapy and olanzapine monotherapy in stable subjects during the maintenance phase of bipolar illness.
NCT00278967
To compare the safety and efficacy of 2 different bowel cleansing preparations prior to colonoscopy in adult subjects.
NCT00062699
To evaluate the survival benefit associated with Zemplar therapy as compared to Calcijex for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in subjects with Stage V chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis as measured by time to death.
NCT00038519
The purpose of this study is to study the safety and efficacy of Amprenavir/ritonavir or saquinavir/ritonavir in HIV infected patients that have failed Kaletra as their second protease inhibitor based HAART.
NCT00067262
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Depakote ER (Divalproex Sodium Extended-Release Tablets) compared to placebo in the treatment of bipolar disorder, manic or mixed type in children and adolescents ages 10-17 years.
NCT00053378
A study to determine the effect of Zemplar on the regulation of serum calcium levels and the need for administration of elemental calcium in hypocalcemic intensive care patients
NCT00167479
The specific aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of risperidone monotherapy in the treatment of ambulatory bipolar disorder with comorbid lifetime panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder and current at least moderately severe anxiety.
NCT00100243
This is a Phase 2, open-label study in subjects with androgen-independent prostate cancer who have progressed following treatment with an LHRH agonist. Up to 22 subjects will be enrolled. Enrollment will be monitored to ensure that not all subjects are enrolled based on rising prostate specific antigen (PSA) criterion only. Subjects will be treated with abarelix (Plenaxis) 100 mg intramuscularly (IM) every 2 weeks for 12 weeks (total dose of 600 mg).
NCT00067431
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of two concentration ranges of valproate using Depakote Sprinkle Capsules as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial seizures, with or without secondary generalization, in children 3-10 years.
NCT00070993
Creatine is a naturally occurring chemical involved in the production of energy in muscle. Abnormalities in creatine have been linked to the progression of degenerative neuromuscular diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease). This study will test whether taking creatine can improve the symptoms of ALS.
NCT00038636
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a high dose of ABT-378/ritonavir
NCT00209482
This study will determine if the drug metformin, coupled with diet and exercise counseling, will help obese adolescents lose weight.
