To evaluate the safety and efficacy of irinotecan and capecitabine in Asian subjects with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma.
The purpose is to evaluate the effects of an investigational blood thinner, apixaban, in preventing venous thromboembolic (VTE) recurrence or death in patients who have completed their intended treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE)
Primary objective: Comparison of independently assessed progression free survival (PFS) in subjects administered Bevacizumab + Temsirolimus vs. those administered Bevacizumab + Interferon-Alfa. Secondary objectives: safety, Investigator assessed PFS, objective response rate (independently assessed), and overall survival.
The primary purpose of program was to enable patients, currently receiving sorafenib (Nexavar) in a Bayer/Onyx sponsored clinical trial, to continue sorafenib treatment after their respective study had met its primary endpoint and/or had reached the end as defined in the original protocol. Patients were able to continue treatment until (i) the treating physician felt the patient was no longer benefiting from the treatment or (ii) the treatment becomes commercially available and reimbursed for the respective indication as applicable in the country in which the patient lived and the patient could obtain suitable amounts of drug for treatment through standard mechanisms of commercial availability (ie, there should be no interruption in the patient's treatment schedule when switching to commercially available product) or (iii) the patient could join a Post-Trial-Access Program, another study or can receive sorafenib through any other mechanism (e.g. local access program) in accordance with local legal and compliance rules, with no cost to the patient with respect to sorafenib. An additional objective was the assessment of the safety of Nexavar or Nexavar combination treatment.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the dose response and the dose frequency of epratuzumab in patients with SLE.
The primary objective: - To demonstrate in patients hospitalized for an acute medical illness that enoxaparin with Graduated Elastic Stockings is superior to enoxaparin-placebo with Graduated Elastic Stockings on overall mortality at day 30 after randomization. The secondary objective: - To compare, in patients hospitalized for an acute medical illness, enoxaparin with Graduated Elastic Stockings versus enoxaparin placebo with Graduated Elastic Stockings on overall mortality at day 90 after randomization. - To evaluate the safety of enoxaparin VTE prophylaxis in patients hospitalized for acute medical illness with respect to major hemorrhage, total bleedings, heparin induced thrombocytopenia, adverse events and serious adverse events .
The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 1356 (5.0 mg daily) compared to glimepiride given for 104 weeks as add-on therapy to preferably > 1500 mg metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control
The purpose of this study is to determine whether ThermoDox, a thermally sensitive liposomal doxorubicin, is effective in the treatment of non-resectable hepatocellular carcinoma when used in conjunction with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
This 3 arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of PEGASYS + entecavir combination therapy in treatment-naive patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B. Patients will be randomized to receive 1)PEGASYS 180 micrograms s.c./week for 48 weeks, 2)PEGASYS 180 micrograms s.c./week for 48 weeks + entecavir 0.5mg p.o. once daily from week 13 to week 36 or 3) entecavir 0.5mg p.o. once daily for 24 weeks + PEGASYS 180 micrograms s.c./week from week 21 to 68. Treatment will be followed by 24 weeks treatment-free follow up. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months for groups 1 and 2, and 1-2 years for group 3, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This trial is conducted in Asia. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of biphasic insulin aspart 30 as start insulin in subjects with type 2 diabetes failing OAD therapy.
