NCT ID: NCT01577368 Completed - Clinical trials for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection

Piperacillin-Tazobactam Continuous Versus Intermittent Infusion for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

PiperTazo
Start date: May 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The main objective is to verify that the administration of piperacillin / tazobactam administered by continuous infusion to treat complicated infections or with known or suspected nosocomial isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is superior in efficacy to a 30% higher dose administered in conventional short infusion. The secondary objectives were compared between the following variables: - Microbiological response at 3 days of starting treatment - Time to microbiological cure - Clinical response at 3 days of starting treatment - Time to achieve defervescence - To examine the relationship between pharmacokinetic variables and parameters of efficacy and safety - To test the hypothesis that continuous infusion maintains adequate plasma drug levels compared with levels achieved with intermittent administration. - Cost-effectiveness analysis - Occurrence of adverse effects To this end, we designed a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double blind, comparing both forms of administration in patients with complicated or nosocomial infection with or without isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Patients who are candidates for inclusion are classified according to APACHE II and to have or not isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Subsequently be randomized to receive piperacillin-tazobactam by continuous infusion or short. Primary endpoint was measured as the ultimate effectiveness of treatment and other variables such as high efficiency, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacoeconomic.

NCT ID: NCT01577173 Completed - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

A Study of MEHD7945A Versus Cetuximab in Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of The Head And Neck

Start date: July 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II, open-label, randomized study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MEHD7945A versus cetuximab in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have progressed during or following platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients will be randomized to receive either MEHD7945A 1100 mg intravenously (iv) every 2 weeks or cetuximab 400 mg/m2 iv loading dose followed by 250 mg/m2 iv weekly. Patients treated with cetuximab (Arm B) may cross-over to MEHD7945A (Arm A) upon central confirmation of progressive disease and upon meeting eligibility criteria. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs.

NCT ID: NCT01577121 Completed - Clinical trials for Preterm Labor With Intact Membranes

Evaluation of the Use of Indomethacin as Co-treatment in Women With Preterm Labor and High Risk of Intraamniotic Inflammation

INDOGEST
Start date: April 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

To demonstrate if indomethacin associated to conventional treatment for preterm labor is useful to delay delivery and to improve neonatal morbimortality in women with preterm labor with high risk of intraamniotic inflammation

NCT ID: NCT01576731 Completed - HIV Infection Clinical Trials

Study Comparing Two Alternatives of Antiretroviral Therapy as Post-exposure Prophylaxis to HIV-1: Tenofovir + Emtricitabine + Lopinavir/Ritonavir Versus Tenofovir + Emtricitabine + Raltegravir (RAL-PEP)

RAL-PEP
Start date: July 2012
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

As a measure of secondary prophylaxis, and with the final objective of avoiding the infection, it has been suggested to use antiretroviral therapy. This is known as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Although there are different recommendations, almost every guideline recommend using 3 drugs as PEP both in USA and Europe. Toxicity is one of the main limitations of PEP. Side effects during PEP are very usual, are attributed mainly to PI and are the main reasons for poor adherence or lost of follow-up. A current standard regimen is AZT+3TC (Combivir®) or tenofovir+emtricitabine (Truvada®) plus the PI lopinavir/r. Toxicity associated with this regimens are high (31-85% of cases),with a high tolerability, a integrase inhibitor (raltegravir)could be an adequate drug for PEP.

NCT ID: NCT01576718 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

A Study of the Effectiveness and Safety of Different Doses of Fluticasone Propionate Taken From a Dry Powder Inhaler (Puffer) in Adolescents and Adults Who Have Asthma That is Not Controlled by High Dose Inhaled Corticosteroid Asthma Medications

Start date: April 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the dose response, efficacy and safety of 4 different doses of fluticasone propionate (50, 100, 200, and 400mcg) delivered as Fluticasone Spiromax® Inhalation Powder (Fp Spiromax) when administered twice daily in subjects 12 years of age and older with severe persistent asthma who are uncontrolled on high dose ICS therapy.

NCT ID: NCT01576666 Completed - Gastric Cancer Clinical Trials

Phase Ib, Dose Escalation Study of Oral LDE225 in Combination With BKM120 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Start date: July 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum dose of LDE225 and BKM120 that can be safely given together to patients and/or the dose that will be used in future studies. This study will also learn more about how the combination of these two investigational drugs may work for patients with certain cancers (specifically metastatic breast cancer, advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer and recurrent glioblastoma multiforme).

Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of ACZ885 in Pediatric Patients With the Following Cryopyrin-associated Periodic Syndromes: Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome, Muckle-Wells Syndrome, or Neonatal Onset Multisystem Inflammatory Disease

Start date: January 16, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This trial will provide long-term safety, efficacy and tolerability of ACZ885 in CAPS patients that completed the CACZ885D2307 study

NCT ID: NCT01576094 Completed - Clinical trials for Low Cardiac Output Syndrome

Two Inodilators Postsurgery in Neonates

Start date: November 2009
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Congenital heart defects are the most prevalent group of congenital malformations in newborns. Surgery-related low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) could be one of the reason for the unfavourable outcome of this population. The early use of inodilators (INDs), specifically milrinone (MR), is proposed to reduce afterload and increase inotropism. Studies in the paediatric population appear to support a clinical usefulness of MR similar to that observed in adults. Levosimendan (LEVO) is a novel class IND developed for the treatment of heart failure. Experience with LEVO in paediatric patients is scarce. The purpose of this study was to systematically test the efficacy and safety of milrinone (MR) and levosimendan (LEVO) in newborns undergoing cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Given the uncertainty about LEVO pharmacokinetics in neonates, the study was designed as a pilot, phase I feasibility study.
