NCT ID: NCT00482170 Completed - Psoriasis Clinical Trials

Compare Perceptions and Satisfaction for Two Different Delivery Mechanisms for Etanercept

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

Primary objective of this study is to compare patient satisfaction with the prefilled syringe (PFS) and the auto-injector (AI), two different delivery devices for etanercept after 12 weeks of use, using a 10 point scale form totally dissatisfied to totally satisfied.Secondary evaluation focus on the identification of patient and device attributes associated with patient satisfaction.

NCT ID: NCT00481975 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Efficacy and Safety of Rimonabant on Weight Loss and Frequency of Binge Episodes in Obese Patients

Start date: August 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective is to assess the effect of rimonabant compared to placebo on weight loss over a period of 6 months when prescribed with a mild hypocaloric diet in obese patients with binge eating disorder. The secondary objectives are: - to assess the effect of rimonabant on the number of binge episodes per week, to assess the effect of rimonabant on eating behavior using the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimonabant over a period of 6 months.

NCT ID: NCT00481390 Completed - HIV Infection Clinical Trials

Prospective Epidemiological Study Of The Prevalence Of HLA-B*5701 In HIV-1 Infected Patients

Start date: June 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study is a cross-sectional observational study to evaluate the prevalence of HLA-B*5701 in the European area and in major European ethnotypes. Any HIV-1 infected patient will be eligible for this study including treatment naïve and experienced patients, as well as patients previously tested for HLA-B*5701. Patients will be approached during a standard clinic visit, and will be consented prior to any study specific procedure. They will be asked to provide a tissue sample (cheek cells and blood sample) which will be used to assess HLA-B*5701 status by local and central laboratories. In selected sites patients may be asked to provide an additional blood sample. This sample will be used to develop and validate different methodologies for assessing HLA-B*5701 status.

NCT ID: NCT00481312 Completed - Clinical trials for Continuous Sedation in Initially Sedated Adults in ICU

Dexmedetomidine Versus Midazolam for Continuous Sedation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

MIDEX
Start date: June 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Patients in ICU who need help with their breathing are put onto a machine called a ventilator and are also given a medicine, called a sedative, which helps them to sleep and makes them more comfortable. Midazolam is a sedative that is routinely used for these purposes. For most patients the aim of sedation is to make them sleepy but still able to respond to nursing staff (light sedation) Dexmedetomidine is a new sedative for use in intensive care and in this clinical study, dexmedetomidine is compared to midazolam. It is thought that dexmedetomidine might be slightly better at allowing patients to be sleepy but still respond to people around them. It also does not appear to affect patient's breathing. the purpose of this study is to test whether dexmedetomidine really does have these advantages compared to midazolam. in this study we hope to show that: dexmedetomidine is at least as good as midazolam in helping patients to sleep better and making them more comfortable, and that they are able to co-operate better with the staff treating them, and that patients treated with dexmedetomidine require a shorter time on the ventilator than those treated with midazolam.

NCT ID: NCT00481247 Completed - Clinical trials for Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic

A Phase III Study of Dasatinib vs. Imatinib in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Phase CML

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

The purpose of this clinical research study is to compare the rate of confirmed complete cytogenetic response (cCCyR) of dasatinib to imatinib therapy within 12 months after randomization in newly diagnosed chronic phase Philadelphia positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML) patients. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.

NCT ID: NCT00480896 Completed - Dermatitis, Atopic Clinical Trials

Treatment and Control of Atopic Dermatitis With 0.03% Tacrolimus Ointment

Start date: June 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

A long-term 0.03% tacrolimus ointment based regimen comprising of up to 6 weeks of initial twice daily treatment and subsequent twice weekly prophylactic application can effectively treat active lesions of atopic dermatitis, and prevent, delay, and reduce flares.

NCT ID: NCT00480610 Completed - Dermatitis, Atopic Clinical Trials

Treatment and Control of Atopic Dermatitis With 0.1% Tacrolimus Ointment

Start date: April 2004
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Long-term tacrolimus ointment based regimen comprising of up to 6 weeks of initial twice daily treatment and subsequent twice weekly prophylactic application can effectively treat active lesions of atopic dermatitis and prevent delay & reduce flares

NCT ID: NCT00479895 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Therapeutics in Elective Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization

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

The test compound and subject of this clinical trial is the haemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, HBOC-201 (Hemopure). HBOC-201, initially developed as an alternative to red blood cells for surgical patients, has the ability to restore tissue oxygenation in persistently ischemic tissue. The development of this new class of compounds, referred to as oxygen therapeutics, provides an opportunity to test the safety and efficacy of a new approach to management of myocardial ischemia.

NCT ID: NCT00479739 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

CONCEPT: A 1-Year Comparison Of A Stable Dose Of SERETIDE® Inhaler With An Adjustable Maintenance Dose Of SYMBICORT® Inhaler. SERETIDE® Inhaler is a Trademark of GSK Group of Companies. SYMBICORT® Inhaler is a Trademark of Astra Zeneca.

Start date: November 2002
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To compare a stable dose of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate with a variable dose of formoterol/budesonide where the dose is adjusted according to a physician-guided self-management plan

NCT ID: NCT00479661 Completed - Clinical trials for Continuous Sedation in Initially Sedated Adults in ICU
