This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy of controlled-release (CR) formulation of paroxetine orally administered to patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) at a dose level in the range of 25 - 50 mg/day (initial dose level, 12.5 or 25 mg/day) once daily after evening meal for 8 weeks based on the decrease in HAM-D (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) total score, to evaluate the safety based on adverse events, laboratory data and vital signs, and to describe the efficacy and safety of immediate release (IR) formulation of paroxetine.
This study is conducted in Japanese newly diagnosed locally advanced SCCHN patients in order to assess tolerability and feasibility of Cetuximab plus concomitant boost radiotherapy (RT) regimen (the study treatment) and its safety profile (i.e. AEs: adverse events). In addition, efficacy (i.e. anti-tumor effect) of the study treatment is also evaluated.
The purpose of the study is to see if sorafenib plus best supportive care (i.e. in addition to the non-cancer treatments patients would normally receive) is an effective treatment for lung cancer compared to best supportive care alone. The safety and tolerability of the two treatment groups will also be compared. The goal of the study is to test the ability of sorafenib to improve survival compared to best supportive care alone.
Patients who have completed the 12 weeks treatment of the PATENT-1 trial (study number 12934) will be asked to participate in this long term extension study with BAY63-2521.
There are no treatments specifically approved after recurrence or progression on a non steroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI). In light of the need for new treatment options for postmenopausal women after failure of prior NSAI therapy, the purpose of this Phase III study is to compare efficacy and safety of a treatment with exemestane + everolimus to exemestane + placebo in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer refractory to NSAI.
