NCT ID: NCT00482651 Completed - Atherosclerosis Clinical Trials

Imaging of Vulnerable Plaques in Coronary Artery Disease by Multidetector Computed Tomography

Start date: November 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Atherosclerosis is a chronic and multifocal immunoinflammatory, fibroproliferative disease of medium-sized and large arteries driven by lipid. Atherosclerosis is rarely fatal unless thrombosis supervene, causing an acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, for event-free survival, the vital question is not why atherosclerosis develops but rather why atherosclerosis, after years after indolent growth, suddenly becomes complicated with luminal thrombosis. The great majority of coronary plaques will remain quiescent, at least from a clinical point of view. Acute coronary syndrome is primarily precipitated by a ruptured plaque. The precipitating factor or condition may be found outside rather than inside the plaque. The challenge is to find the plaque(s) destined for the next thrombus-mediated heart attack(s), treat, and thus avoid the heart attack(s). Identification of vulnerable plaques has become a key issue. The natural history of individual plaques (risk of thrombosis) is unknown and needs to be established. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) can provide angiography and imaging of the vessel wall (detection, quantification and characterization of plaques). The intention of this project is to evaluate the accuracy of coronary MDCT in identifying and differentiating the morphology of coronary atherosclerotic plaques.

NCT ID: NCT00482170 Completed - Psoriasis Clinical Trials

Compare Perceptions and Satisfaction for Two Different Delivery Mechanisms for Etanercept

Start date: September 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary objective of this study is to compare patient satisfaction with the prefilled syringe (PFS) and the auto-injector (AI), two different delivery devices for etanercept after 12 weeks of use, using a 10 point scale form totally dissatisfied to totally satisfied.Secondary evaluation focus on the identification of patient and device attributes associated with patient satisfaction.

NCT ID: NCT00481481 Completed - Transplantation Clinical Trials

Conversion Study From Cyclosporine to FK506MR Based Immunosuppression in Kidney Transplant Subjects

CONCERTO
Start date: April 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Assessment of the safety and the efficacy of a tacrolimus modified release (FK506MR) based immunosuppressive regimen in stable kidney transplant subjects converted from a cyclosporin based immunosuppressive regimen.

NCT ID: NCT00481247 Completed - Clinical trials for Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic

A Phase III Study of Dasatinib vs. Imatinib in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase CML

DASISION
Start date: August 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare the rate of confirmed complete cytogenetic response (cCCyR) of dasatinib to imatinib therapy within 12 months after randomization in newly diagnosed chronic phase Philadelphia positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) patients. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

NCT ID: NCT00481104 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Long Term Safety of Tesofensine in Patients With Obesity

Start date: May 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Purpose of the study is to evaluate the long term safety of tesofensine in obese patients

NCT ID: NCT00480610 Completed - Dermatitis, Atopic Clinical Trials

Treatment and Control of Atopic Dermatitis With 0.1% Tacrolimus Ointment

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

Long-term tacrolimus ointment based regimen comprising of up to 6 weeks of initial twice daily treatment and subsequent twice weekly prophylactic application can effectively treat active lesions of atopic dermatitis and prevent delay & reduce flares

NCT ID: NCT00479570 Completed - Clinical trials for Female Sexual Dysfunction

Study To Investigate Effect Of A New Drug (PF-00446687) In Post-Menopausal Women Who Suffer From Sexual Dysfunction.

Start date: June 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of up to 200 mg of PF-00446687 on acute sexual arousal and sexual interest in post menopausal females, as well as examining the safety and toleration of the drug.

NCT ID: NCT00479037 Completed - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Effect of Full Length Parathyroid Hormone, PTH(1-84) or Strontium Ranelate on Bone Markers in Postmenopausal Women With Primary Osteoporosis (FP-006-IM)

Start date: April 2007
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this trial is to show that PTH(1-84) is superior to strontium ranelate in bone formation measured as changes in bone formation markers over a treatment period of 24 weeks in postmenopausal women with primary osteoporosis.

NCT ID: NCT00478660 Completed - Clinical trials for Ankylosing Spondylitis

An Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Response to Adalimumab in Patients With Active Ankylosing Spondylitis Who Have Failed Standard Therapy or TNF-Alpha Inhibitors (RHAPSODY)

RHAPSODY
Start date: February 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Due to the rigor of the clinical development program of adalimumab for the indication of AS, the population of subjects with active AS that could enroll in previous phase 3 studies was limited. Therefore, it is necessary to further evaluate the use of adalimumab in a setting that mimics day-to-day clinical practice to obtain further safety and efficacy data by allowing subjects meeting the characteristics noted below to enter this study: - Subjects who failed another TNF inhibitor (etanercept, infliximab) - Subjects with advanced spinal ankylosis - Subjects with AS associated disorders (i.e., uveitis, IBD, and psoriasis)

NCT ID: NCT00478569 Completed - Clinical trials for Clinical Use of PTH(1-84)

Adherence to PTH(1-84) Treatment (FP-002-IM)

Start date: April 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The primary objective is: 1) to describe adherence (and the main factors influencing adherence) to PTH(1-84) treatment when prescribed in a normal clinical setting. The secondary objectives are: 1. to describe the demographics and clinical characteristics of the patients that in a normal clinical setting are started on a treatment regimen with PTH(1-84) 2. to describe (using available data) the long term treatment effectiveness during the 24 months following initiation of PTH(1-84) treatment in a normal clinical setting 3. to monitor safety for 24 months following initiation of PTH(1-84) treatment in a patient in a normal clinical setting.
