Start date: May 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Keppra injection is approved in the US as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of partial onset seizures in adults with epilepsy. The objective of the current study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, of this formulation in children aged 1 month to 4 years.

NCT ID: NCT00504556 Completed - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

A Study to Assess the Safety of a Potential New Drug in Comparison to the Standard Practice of Dosing With Warfarin for Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation

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

This study is to assess the safety of a potential new drug DU-176b for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolic event (SEE) in individuals with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). The duration is 3 months of treatment and a 30 day follow-up visit.

NCT ID: NCT00503113 Completed - Clinical trials for Post-Menopausal Osteoporosis

A Study of Bonviva (Ibandronate) and Alendronate on Renal Function in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis at High Risk for Renal Disease.

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

This 3 arm study will evaluate renal safety after administration of an intravenous (iv) injection or infusion of Bonviva, compared to oral alendronate, in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis, at increased risk of renal disease. Patients will be randomized to receive Bonviva 3mg intravenous (iv) by a) injection or b) infusion once every 3 months, or alendronate 70mg per oral (po) weekly. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00502996 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

A Non-Comparative Study to Assess the Safety of MabThera (Rituximab) in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Start date: February 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This single arm study will assess the safety of MabThera plus methotrexate in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have had a lack of response to 1-5 DMARDs or biological agents. Patients will receive MabThera (1g i.v.) on days 1 and 15, concomitantly with methotrexate >=15mg p.o./week. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00502710 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

A Study of Dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP-IV) RO4876904 in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.

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

This 5 arm study will assess the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of a DPP-IV inhibitor compared to placebo in patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients will be randomized to receive DPP-IV(3) at one of 4 doses (of 12.5mg and above), or placebo p.o. Patients receiving metformin before the study will continue on the same dose of metformin. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

NCT ID: NCT00502242 Completed - Kidney Transplant Clinical Trials

Study Evaluating The Effect Of Ramipril On Urinary Protein Excretion In Renal Transplant Patients Converted To Sirolimus

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

The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of ramipril in preventing a urinary protein to creatinine ratio (U p/c) greater than 0.5 following conversion to sirolimus from a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) in maintenance kidney transplant patients.

NCT ID: NCT00501046 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Disease

A Study of AST-120 for Evaluating Prevention of Progression In Chronic Kidney Disease Including Assessment of Quality of Life (EPPIC-2)

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

1) To evaluate the effectiveness of AST-120 (spherical carbon adsorbent) added to standard-of-care therapy in moderate to severe Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), on time to first occurrence of any event of the triple composite outcome of initiation of dialysis, kidney transplant or doubling of serum creatinine (sCr) when compared with placebo; 2) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term AST-120 therapy in patients with CKD; 3) To evaluate the effects of AST-120 versus placebo, on other measures of renal function and quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT00500955 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Rosiglitazone on Microalbuminuria in Type 2 Diabetics

Start date: April 2000
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Following a 4-week single-blind placebo run-in period, eligible subjects were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 32 weeks of double-blind study medication: Rosiglitazone (starting dose 4mg od) or Glyburide (starting dose 5mg od), both in combination with open-label Metformin > or = (1g/day). Subjects were stratified for use of ACEI, nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (NDP CCB), or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) to provide equal representation of these subjects in each treatment group.
