NCT ID: NCT00157339 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

Safety and Efficacy of Inhaled Insulin in Patients With Diabetes and Asthma or COPD

Start date: August 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Phase 3 , open-label, randomized study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Lilly/Alkermes inhaled insulin system compared to injected insulin in type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients with asthma or COPD. Patients will be treated for 12 months with a 2 month follow up period.

NCT ID: NCT00154102 Completed - Clinical trials for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Expressing Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Cetuximab Combined With Irinotecan in First-line Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRYSTAL)

CRYSTAL
Start date: May 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Drugs used against cancer work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Giving combination chemotherapy together with cetuximab as first treatment after diagnosis of a metastatic colorectal cancer ('1st-line' treatment) may improve the treatment efficacy. However, it is not yet known whether giving combination chemotherapy together with cetuximab is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone. This open-label trial investigates the effectiveness of cetuximab in combination with a standard and effective chemotherapy (5-Fluorouracil (5FU)/Folinic acid (FA) plus irinotecan) for metastatic colorectal cancer in first-line setting, compared to the same chemotherapy alone on patient expressing the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. Patients expressing this EGF Receptor will be randomly assign in one of the 2 groups to either receive the combination chemotherapy alone or with cetuximab (open-label study) and will then be treated until progression of the disease or unacceptable toxicity occur. Regular efficacy assessments (every 8 weeks) based on imaging will be performed throughout the study together with regular safety assessments (e.g. safety labs). An independent Safety Board of experts will also monitor safety data. After participant discontinuation from the trial, regular updates on further treatments and survival status will be requested from the investigator. The entire study (from the first patient entering the study to the last collect of follow-up information) is 4-5 years long.

NCT ID: NCT00152386 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

A Placebo Controlled Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Certolizumab Pegol in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Start date: February 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Patients will be assigned to one of three treatment groups. Study medication is administered over a 52 week study duration.

NCT ID: NCT00148798 Completed - Clinical trials for Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Study of Cisplatin/Vinorelbine +/- Cetuximab as First-line Treatment of Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (FLEX)

FLEX
Start date: October 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy in comparison to chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer who did not received prior chemotherapy. Overall survival will be taken as primary measure of efficacy.

NCT ID: NCT00146523 Completed - Clinical trials for Major Depressive Disorder

An International Study of the Safety and Tolerability of Corlux for Psychotic Symptoms in Psychotic Major Depression

Start date: May 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Corlux (mifepristone) is a new medication that modulates the body's use of a hormone called cortisol. Under normal conditions, cortisol and other hormones are created by the body in response to physical and emotional stress, triggering a healthy stress response. People who suffer from psychotic major depression may have unusually high levels of cortisol circulating within them or abnormal patterns of cortisol levels, overloading the stress response mechanism and causing symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thoughts or hallucinations. If Corlux can keep the body's cortisol receptors from being overloaded, the stress response system may return to normal function, which may result in improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this 56 day study is to learn the safety and effectiveness of Corlux in patients who have been diagnosed with psychotic major depression (PMD).

NCT ID: NCT00134251 Completed - Parkinson's Disease Clinical Trials

Ascending Dose Tolerability/Safety of SLV308 for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

Start date: October 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group study of a seven-week ascending dose period of SLV308 adjunctive to L-dopa treatment in patients with advanced stage Parkinson's disease (PD) and dose-dependent motor fluctuations. Patients (outpatients) will be randomized to one of three different treatment arms.

NCT ID: NCT00130897 Approved for marketing - Clinical trials for Carcinoma, Renal Cell

Treatment Use Study With Sunitinib (SU011248) For Patients With Cytokine-Refractory Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Start date: July 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Expanded Access

The primary objective of this protocol is to provide access to SU011248 treatment for patients with metastatic RCC who are ineligible for participation in ongoing SU011248 clinical studies and have the potential to derive clinical benefit from treatment with SU011248 based on the judgment of the investigator.

NCT ID: NCT00129766 Completed - Clinical trials for Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Study of MEDI-524 (Motavizumab) for the Prophylaxis of Serious Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Disease in High-Risk Children

Start date: November 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of motavizumab to palivizumab when administered monthly by intramuscular (IM) injection for the reduction of the incidence of RSV hospitalization among children at high risk for serious RSV disease. A secondary objective was to compare the incidence of medically-attended lower respiratory infections (LRIs) between treatment groups.

NCT ID: NCT00128505 Completed - Clinical trials for Major Depressive Disorder

An International Extension Study of Corlux for Recurrent Psychotic Symptoms in Psychotic Major Depression

Start date: August 2005
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Corlux (mifepristone) is a new medication that modulates the body's use of a hormone called cortisol. Under normal conditions, cortisol and other hormones are created by the body in response to physical and emotional stress, triggering a healthy stress response. People who suffer from psychotic major depression may have unusually high levels of cortisol circulating within them or abnormal patterns of cortisol levels, overloading the stress response mechanism and causing symptoms of psychosis such as delusional thoughts or hallucinations. If Corlux can keep the body's cortisol receptors from being overloaded, the stress response system may return to normal function, which may result in improvement of symptoms. The purpose of this study is to allow patients who have already participated in an earlier 8 week study of Corlux versus placebo (an inactive pill) to receive additional courses of treatment with Corlux periodically if a psychotic episode should reappear during a period of one year.
