Clinical trial of BAY43-9006 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
This Study is in two parts, the first part is to make sure that combining a potential new treatment, cediranib (AZD2171), with a standard treatment (FOLFOX) for metastatic colorectal cancer is safe. Once this part is complete and it is decided that it is safe to continue the Study will the go on to look at the efficacy of the two drugs together. This will be done by studying two treatment options. One will be the standard treatment alone (FOLFOX) + dummy cediranib (AZD2171) tablets and the other will be the standard treatment (FOLFOX) + real cediranib (AZD2171) tablets. Using dummy tablets means the study is 'blinded' and that non-one can tell the difference between the two treatment groups. This kind of study design is done to try to avoid the chance that the results might be biased in some way. The overall aim of the second part of the study is to see if adding cediranib (AZD2171) to a standard treatment for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC), in this case FOLFOX, gives better results. That is, it's better than giving standard treatment alone in helping to prevent progression of mCRC.
This is a study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of temsirolimus in Asian patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma. The trial is only being conducted in Japan, Korea, and China.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been established as a necessary cause of cervical cancer. GSK Biologicals has developed an HPV vaccine (580299) which targets the 2 most common oncogenic HPV types (HPV-16 and HPV-18), found in approximately 70% of all cervical cancers. In previous trials, the vaccine has been found to be efficacious in the prevention of incident and persistent HPV-16/18 infections and associated cytological abnormalities. HPV vaccination should ideally be performed before onset of sexual activity. Previous studies showed that GSK Biologicals' HPV vaccine 580299 is safe and immunogenic when administered to European, Asian, Latin American and Australian pre-adolescents and adolescents. Here, we aim to assess the immunogenicity and safety of the GSK Biologicals' HPV vaccine 580299 in healthy Japanese pre-adolescent and adolescent female subjects aged 10-15 years. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

The purpose of the study is to compare the human insulin inhalation powder plus oral anti-hyperglycemic medication with injected insulin (neutral protamine hegedom insulin) plus oral anti-hyperglycemic medication on lowering the blood sugar level.
The purpose of this exploratory study is to assess the efficacy and safety of nesiritide in participants with acute (a quick and severe form of illness in its early stage) heart failure (when the heart inadequately pumps blood through the body) including acute exacerbation of chronic (lasting a long time) heart failure, administered intravenous (into a vein) bolus (a large amount) followed by intravenous infusion (a fluid or a medicine delivered into a vein by way of a needle).
