NCT ID: NCT01983241 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Emphysema in Alpha-1 PI Deficiency

Efficacy and Safety of Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human), Modified Process (Alpha-1 MP) in Subjects With Pulmonary Emphysema Due to Alpha1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD)

SPARTA
Start date: November 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind clinical study to assess the efficacy and safety of two separate dose regimens of Alpha-1 MP versus placebo for 156 weeks (i.e., 3 years) using computed tomography (CT) of the lungs as the main measure of efficacy. The two Alpha-1 MP doses to be tested are 60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg administered weekly by IV infusion for 156 weeks. The study consists of an optional pre-screening phase, Screening Phase, a 156-week Treatment Phase, and an End of Study Visit at Week 160.

NCT ID: NCT01966653 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Urinary Tract Infections

Study Comparing Nitrofurantoin to Fosfomycin for Acute Urinary Tract Infection in Women

AIDA-WP2
Start date: October 2013
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Developed before the establishment of a structured process for drug assessment, nitrofurantoin is now being prescribed frequently given the rise in multi-resistant gram-negative pathogens. Doubts remain regarding fosfomycin's long-term clinical effectiveness. A randomized, controlled trial is needed to explore the clinical effectiveness and better define the side effect profiles of both nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin. This multi-center open trial will randomize 600 non-pregnant women at three international sites (200 each in Poland, Switzerland, and Israel) at increased risk for carriage of resistant uropathogens and with suspicion of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection to receive either oral nitrofurantoin 100 mg three times daily for 5 days or a single 3g dose of oral fosfomycin. Patients will be followed for clinical and bacteriologic response at days 14 and 28 post therapy completion. The study hypothesis holds that nitrofurantoin will be superior to fosfomycin in clinical efficacy at final follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT01954628 Active, not recruiting - COPD Clinical Trials

Efficacy and Safety of AQX-1125 in Unstable COPD

FLAGSHIP
Start date: October 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of treatment with once daily administration of AQX-1125 compared to placebo in subjects following exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) by targeting the SHIP1 (Src Homology 2-containing Inositol-5'-Phosphatase 1) pathway.

NCT ID: NCT01946867 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Head and Neck Cancer

NBTXR3 and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced SCC of the Oral Cavity or Oropharynx

Start date: January 3, 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: Cancers of the oral cavity represent 30% of head and neck carcinomas in the western world. The oropharynx is the posterior continuation of the oral cavity and connects with the nasopharynx (above) and laryngopharynx (below). It is also a frequent site of primary head and neck cancers. These structures play a crucial role in swallowing, breath and speech. Locally advanced oropharyngeal cancers can obstruct the air flow or infiltrate muscles or nerves, which significantly disturb local functions. The incidence of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer in patients older 65 years is high, 47% occurred in this population as recorded by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results registries in the United States. Regarding the therapeutic strategies, the association of radiotherapy with chemotherapy or biologics has demonstrated significant improvement of outcomes with the drawback of higher toxicity, or as demonstrated by 2 meta-analyses, without survival improvement in older patients. NBTXR3 and radiation therapy may increase the cancer cell killing and complete tumor shrinkage allowing a definitive treatment and preservation of local structures and functions in patients older 65 years, who cannot receive cisplatin.

NCT ID: NCT01946451 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Gene Expression in Patients With Epiretinal Membranes

Start date: June 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of selected genes both in epiretinal membranes (ERMs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with primary and secondary epiretinal membranes in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Possible correlations between messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of these genes were also identified.

NCT ID: NCT01946204 Active, not recruiting - Prostatic Neoplasms Clinical Trials

A Study of Apalutamide (ARN-509) in Men With Non-Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

SPARTAN
Start date: October 14, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apalutamide in adult men with high-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01942603 Active, not recruiting - Cutaneous Melanoma Clinical Trials

Minimal SN Tumor Burden

Minitub
Start date: July 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The purpose of this registry is to collect data in order to discover whether melanoma patients with minimal SN tumor burden should undergo a complete lymph node dissection (CLND) or not. Currently, if a patient has a positive (or metastatic) SN, this patient will be offered a CLND, which is a surgical intervention aiming to remove all lymph nodes from the same nodal basin as the SN. However, if the positive (or metastatic) SN is only minimally involved, some centers and/or countries do not offer a CLND routinely. As a matter of fact, the CLND procedure does not increase survival for patients with a minimal SN tumor burden, but can add prognostic information, potentially useful in the subsequent decision-making process. However, this is a surgical operation for the patient, which might be accompanied by significant side effects. Moreover, only approximately 20% of patients with a metastatic SN have further lymph node metastases in the same basin, which means that about 4 patients out of 5 will not benefit from a CLND. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify which SN positive patients could be safely spared from a CLND. It has been demonstrated that breast cancer patients with minimal SN tumor burden can be safely managed with nodal observation only, without performing a CLND. There is evidence that the same situation exists in melanoma as well, but this needs to be validated and this is why we are conducting this registry. The results of this registry will be crucial to establish an accepted standard of care (CLND or nodal observation) for melanoma patients with minimal SN tumor burden.

NCT ID: NCT01939249 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of the Orsiro Sirolimus-eluting Stent

BIOFLOW-IV
Start date: September 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

BIOFLOW-IV is a prospective, international, multicenter, randomised controlled trial. The purpose of this trial is to compare the Biotronik Orsiro drug eluting stent system with the Xience Prime / Xience Xpedition (Xience)drug eluting stent system in de novo coronary lesions. The study is powered for non-inferiority with respect to Target Vessel Failure(TVF)at 12 months.

NCT ID: NCT01933932 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IIIb - IV

Assess Efficacy & Safety of Selumetinib in Combination With Docetaxel in Patients Receiving 2nd Line Treatment for v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KRAS) Positive NSCLC

SELECT-1
Start date: September 25, 2013
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of selumetinib in combination with docetaxel (75mg/m2) vs placebo in combination with docetaxel (75mg/m2) in patients with locally advance or metastatic NSCLCs that harbor mutations of KRAS. This study will also assess the PK, safety, patient reported outcomes (PRO) and tolerability profile of the selumetinib/docetaxel combination, compared to placebo in combination with docetaxel

NCT ID: NCT01909934 Active, not recruiting - Lymphoma Clinical Trials

Study of Brentuximab Vedotin in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
