NCT00081380
The purpose of this study is to determine whether quetiapine when used as adjunct to lithium or divalproex is safe and effective in the maintenance treatment of adult patients with Bipolar I Disorder. The study consists of enrollment and 2 phases, the Open-label treatment Phase and the Randomized treatment Phase. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
NCT00038363
The proposed study objective is to compare hospital-based rehabilitative care with transitional subacute rehabilitation for adults recently diagnosed with a disabling disorder. Clinical outcomes, cost and utilization of services will be compared in order to test the hypotheses that medically-stable patients receiving rehabilitation from subacute care facilities will: 1) function as well physically, 2) report less family dysfunction, 3) have better psychological adjustment and well-being than controls who receive only hospital-based inpatient care, and 4) receive services at lower cost. We intend to assess the impact of hospital-based versus subacute care on clinical and cost outcomes at admission, discharge \[3 months post-admission\] and at 12 months. The first set of analyses will determine predictors of physical function, family function, psychological adjustment and well-being over a 1 year period.
NCT00007527
The CS 1018 study will recruit a total of 600 patients seeking treatment for opiate dependence. They will be recruited from six states (Florida, New York, Texas, California, Washington, and Illinois), with up to ten private physician sites or clinics participating in each state. Coordination of the participating sites and clinics in each of the six states will be performed from an associated Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Tampa VAMC, New York City VAMC, San Antonio VAMC, Long Beach VAMC, Seattle VAMC, and Hines VAMC). The Principal Investigator (PI) at each of the six VAMC?s will be a physician experienced in the treatment of opiate dependent patients. Patients will be recruited by any of numerous strategies including word of mouth, self-referral, local fliers, newspapers, and radio advertisements. This study will be conducted open label with no random assignment or stratification. Patients may be accepted for detoxification or longer-term treatment (6 to 12 months of buprenorphine/naloxone therapy). Patients under the age of 21 will initially be admitted for detoxification; longer treatment of these patients will be based on physician judgement of the necessary of continued treatment. Patients will be inducted directly into buprenorphine/naloxone 4:1 combination tablets. Patients treated in private practice will be asked to sign a treatment contract which will delineate the terms and conditions of treatment.
NCT00018369
Studies investigating physiological processes involved in aging-related deficits in regulation of stress hormone systems.
NCT00011739
Low back pain is a frequent cause of disability and a common reason for outpatient care in veterans. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lower back often reveals abnormalities,which may be used to justify expensive and invasive therapy, such as surgery. Yet the link between MRI abnormalities and the risk of developing clinically significant back pain is far from clear. This longitudinal study will determine the prevalence and incidence of MRI abnormalities among veterans and determine the extent to which specific MRI abnormalities predict future development of back pain. The result should help clinicians use MR imaging more efficiently, and they may ultimately help reduce the frequency of unnecessary back surgery.
NCT00018395
The purpose of this cohort study is to estimate the risk of cardiovascular mortality associated with abnormal calcium metabolism
NCT00495313
To compare the safety and efficacy of two treatment regimens: 1) COL-101 and metronidazole gel 1%; 2) Doxycycline hyclate 100 mg and metronidazole gel 1%
NCT00231049
This is a randomized, multi-center, sequential, dose-escalating study of three dose cohorts of AG-707. Individuals who meet all of the inclusion and exclusion criteria for eligibility will be randomized to receive either AG-707 (at the 80 µg dose), AG-707 with QS-21 (at the 80 µg dose), placebo, or QS-21. Each patient will be monitored for safety as specified in the protocol.
NCT00194597
Viagra is a potent 5-PDE inhibitor that causes vasodilation in the penis and, therefore, erection in men with erectile dysfunction. Our hypothesis is that Viagra may improve the symptoms of men with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome based on the following assumptions: Chronic Pelvic Pelvic Syndrome and Interstitial Cystitis involve poorly understood central and peripheral pain sensitization such as are seen in Chronic Sympathetic Dystrophy, also called Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. This pain may be caused by constricted blood vessels resulting from past stress, injury or trauma Viagra will dilate sympathetically constricted vessels and improve pelvic blood flow in the same manner it does in men with erectile dysfunction. Since men with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome often complain of sexual dysfunction; improving sexual function and, therefore, quality of life may improve overall well being and perception of pain.
NCT00036283
Reduction in size and number of oral premalignant lesions
NCT00717262
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, activity and pharmacokinetics of a new investigational drug (HQK-1001) in healthy human volunteers. This study will also evaluate if there are differences in these parameters when HQK-1001 is administered in a fed versus a fasted state.
NCT00088088
This study is for patients who have Stage IIIb or Stage IV NSCLC and have never had chemotherapy before for their disease. The first phase of the study recently completed and for the second phase of the study patients are randomly assigned to receive either paclitaxel and carboplatin or paclitaxel and carboplatin and study drug (STA 4783). Treatment will be every 3 weeks for 6 cycles.
NCT00018343
This study is designed to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of estrogen on cognitive function of women with Alzheimer's Disease.
NCT00269230
People who have abnormal heart beats, or whose heart does not beat on its own, may need an electronic device called a pacemaker or a defibrillator. Furthermore, people whose hearts have a reduced pumping ability may need a device are called cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. A CRT device is implanted surgically just under the skin in the upper chest area. This device then helps the heart beat at a regular rhythm by sending electrical signals (pacing) directly to the heart tissue through flexible wires called leads. The device may also be able to stop the heart from beating too fast. Three leads are implanted into the chambers of your heart. Two of the leads will be placed on the right side of your heart. The third lead is placed on the left side of your heart and is the lead being studied. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Attain StarFixTM Model 4195 Left Ventricular (LV) Lead. This particular model lead has special characteristics that may help to better keep it in position once it is implanted into the left ventricle. It is also "steroid-eluting" which means that over time it slowly releases a small amount of medication into the heart tissue to help prevent too much swelling around the area it is implanted.
NCT00116610
This is a Phase II research study that is designed for patients who have small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that is no longer responding to treatment. Patients will receive picoplatin, a new platinum-based agent that is currently under investigation, in 21-day cycles.
NCT00168480
This is a three year open-label study in subjects with axillary hyperhidrosis.
NCT00143702
The purpose of this study is to determine the best way to treat people on d4T (stavudine) with high levels of lactic acid. Switching from d4T to abacavir will be assessed. Adding riboflavin and thiamine will also be assessed. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: * Group 1 participants will continue to take d4T as part of their antiretroviral (ARV) regimen, and will be given the vitamin supplements * Group 2 will continue to take d4T without vitamin supplements * Group 3 will switch from d4T to abacavir and receive the vitamins * Group 4 will switch from d4T to abacavir without vitamin supplements. The study plans to involve eighty participants from Canada and Argentina for a treatment period of 16 weeks and a follow-up visit at week 24.
