NCT ID: NCT00500396 Terminated - Clinical trials for Retinopathy of Prematurity

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Stage V ROP

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

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a dimeric glycoprotein, naturally expressed in epithelial and tumor cells (1). Normal Retinal vascularization has two phases: In the first fase, cells of mesenquimatous origin form the first superficial plexus (14-21 weeks of gestation). In the second phase, denominated "angiogenesis phase", the superficial and deep capillary plexus are formed (15,20). The Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) was described for the first time in 1942 (4), at the present moment it is a public health problem in the developing countries. The International Classification of ROP classifies it in 5 stages, dividing it in 3 anatomical zones. It is a public health problem that continuous without having an effective prophylaxis. The early diagnosis and treatment in thresholds stages have changed the prognosis of this disease (11,12).

NCT ID: NCT00500331 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Dose-Ranging Study in Treatment Naive Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(T2DM)

Start date: January 23, 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a dose-ranging study that will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a range of doses of investigational product and pioglitazone, compared to placebo, administered as monotherapy over 12 weeks in treatment naive patients with T2DM

NCT ID: NCT00500162 Completed - Melasma Clinical Trials

Comparison of Two Tri-Luma® Maintenance Regimens in the Treatment of Melasma

CLARA
Start date: November 2006
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Melasma is an acquired, symmetric, irregular hypermelanosis on sun-exposed areas of the face, commonly seen in Latin American women. It is a very frequent disease, although its true incidence is unknown. Melasma has historically been difficult to treat and therapy remains a challenge for this chronic condition. Melasma being a relapsing disease, there is a real need to address how to maintain efficacy achieved after acute treatment. A previous 12-month trial has shown that Tri-Luma® applied once daily over a long-term period is safe and tolerable. However, there are no robust data available either on the efficacy of Tri-Luma® in long-term treatment or guidance for a maintenance dosage regimen with this product. Investigations have been made through a feasibility work among Dermatologists from USA and Latin America to assess their current practice in terms of Maintenance Therapy. Two regimens appear to be prescribed frequently and will be compared in this study. The expectation is that Tri-Luma® will be effective, in one of the two regimens explored, in maintaining the Melasma improvement achieved with a previous treatment of Tri-Luma®.

NCT ID: NCT00499707 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Efficacy and Safety Study of Rosiglitazone/Metformin Therapy vs Rosiglitazone and Metformin in Type 2 Diabetes Subjects

Start date: October 8, 2003
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this 32 week study is to demonstrate that fixed-dose combination treatment with rosiglitazone/metformin will safely and effectively control glycemia as first line oral therapy in subjects type 2 diabetes. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate superiority of rosiglitazone/metformin compared to its rosiglitazone and metformin.

NCT ID: NCT00499551 Withdrawn - Uveitis Clinical Trials

A Phase I/IIa Study for the Treatment of Uveitis With Iontophoresis

Start date: September 2007
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The multiple properties of the corticosteroids over the inflammatory response, make them first line drugs for the treatment of several ocular inflammatory disorders of different etiologies. In order to diminish the corticosteroids severe systemic adverse effects, the local administration is preferred. Iontophoresis already has been used in a successful way for the administration of corticosteroids. Clinical or histopathological injuries due to the use of transcleral CCI have not been observed. being successful the administration of methylprednisolone by means of this system in previous studies. The objective is to evaluate the tolerance, security and effectiveness of this treatment, using a new generation device.

NCT ID: NCT00496769 Completed - Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Trials

A Phase III Study of Apixaban in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

AVERROES
Start date: August 31, 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether apixaban is more effective than acetylsalicylic acid in the prevention of strokes associated with patients with atrial fibrillation. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

NCT ID: NCT00496405 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Diabetic Retinopathy

Unilateral Bevacizumab for Bilateral Diabetic Macular Edema

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

The endothelial growth factor (VEGF), has been implied in the genesis of diverse Neovascular disease. In the industrialized and developing countries, the main cause of blindness is the diabetic retinopathy. Bevacizumab (Avastin, genentech, Inc., San Francisco, California, the USA) is a drug.In the last years its use "off-label", in ophthalmology field, has become popular. This is due to its proven safeness and effectiveness for the treatment of diverse ocular diseases. A lot has been speculated about the systemic absorption of Bevacizumab. It is for that reason that the objective of this study is the systematic and random revision of the fellows eyes, of the patients programmed for the intravitreal administration of Bevacizumab, with bilateral macular edema. In such a way that the therapeutic value in the fellow eye of bevacizumab can be determined

NCT ID: NCT00496080 Terminated - Uterine Fibroids Clinical Trials

Doppler-Guided Uterine Artery Occlusion (DUAO) Device for Fibroid Related Bleeding

DUAO
Start date: June 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Doppler guided uterine artery occlusion (D-UAO) for the reduction of fibroid associated bleeding.

NCT ID: NCT00495469 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Dose-Ranging Study In Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Are Treatment-Naive

Start date: August 17, 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a range of doses of GSK189075 (an SGLT2 inhibitor) compared to placebo, administered over 12 weeks in treatment-naive subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus

NCT ID: NCT00494013 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Comparison of Two Basal Insulins for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes (IOOY)

IOOY
Start date: August 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of insulin lispro protamine suspension (ILPS) as compared to insulin detemir as basal insulin therapy in adults with type 2 diabetes. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives.
