NCT ID: NCT01675453 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

The Efficacy and Safety of Hypertonic Saline in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

ESHHS
Start date: January 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The organ dysfunction following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) occurs frequently in cardiac surgery patients. Systemic inflammatory response initiated by CPB through releasing of several mediators lead to altered endothelial integrity and in consequence the leakage of proteins and fluids from the intravascular to the interstitial compartment is occurred. Increased capillary permeability and decreased colloid osmotic pressure were shown to play a key role for fluid shift and increasing of extravascular water. Further tissue edema can result in injury to many organs, including the heart, lungs, brain, kidneys and can lead to adverse outcomes. Hypertonic solution creates an osmotic gradient across the cellular membrane, causing a fluid shift from the intracellular and the interstitial spaces of tissue into the intravascular compartment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of 7.2% NaCl plus 6% hydroxyethyl starch 200/0.5 in patients scheduled for first-time coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass.

NCT ID: NCT01674712 Completed - Dyslipidemia Clinical Trials

A 12-week Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Fixed Combinations of Fenofibrate/Simvastatin 145/20mg and Fenofibrate/Simvastatin 145/40mg Tablets Versus Fenofibrate or Simvastatin Monotherapies in Subjects With Abnormal Blood Levels of Fats (Lipids) and at High Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Start date: June 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a double-blind, randomized study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two fixed combinations of fenofibrate / simvastatin 145/20 mg and fenofibrate / simvastatin 145/40 mg tablets vs. matching monotherapies in subjects with abnormal fat (lipids) in the blood and at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Fenofibrate is a treatment that lowers fat in blood. It is prescribed in patients with high levels of triglycerides (TG). The drug has been marketed in more than 80 countries since 1975. Simvastatin is also used for the treatment of patients with a high level of cholesterol. These have also been marketed worldwide for more than 20 years. It is important to treat high levels of fats in the blood because it has been shown that even mildly elevated level of lipids in the blood can lead to diseases of the blood vessels. It has been shown in several studies and in clinical practice that the combination of fenofibrate plus simvastatin can lead to improved effects on blood fats, compared to treatment with simvastatin or fenofibrate alone. The main objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of the two fixed-combinations (FC) -fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/20 mg tablet and fenofibrate/simvastatin 145/40 mg tablet in reducing TG and increasing high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) versus simvastatin 20 mg or 40 mg, and in reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) versus fenofibrate 145 mg.

NCT ID: NCT01673867 Completed - Clinical trials for Non-Squamous Cell Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Study of BMS-936558 (Nivolumab) Compared to Docetaxel in Previously Treated Metastatic Non-squamous NSCLC

CheckMate057
Start date: November 2, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to compare the overall survival of BMS-936558 (Nivolumab) as compared with Docetaxel in subjects with non-squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of prior platinum-based chemotherapy

NCT ID: NCT01673763 Completed - Clinical trials for Post-ERCP Acute Pancreatitis

Post-ERCP Pancreatitis Prevention by Stent Insertion

PEPSI
Start date: July 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The presented study is designed to analyze the efficacy of pancreatic stent insertion in patients undergoing ERCP with accidental cannulation of the pancreatic duct.

NCT ID: NCT01672671 Completed - Clinical trials for Early Triple Negative Breast Cancer

BRCA1-associated DNA Repair Dysfunction in Patients With Early Triple Negative Breast Cancer Treated With Neoadjuvant Platinum-based Chemotherapy

Start date: August 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy of platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in correlation with BRCA1-associated DNA repair dysfunction in patients with early triple negative breast cancer.

NCT ID: NCT01668784 Completed - Clinical trials for Advanced or Metastatic (Medically or Surgically Unresectable) Clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Study of Nivolumab (BMS-936558) vs. Everolimus in Pre-Treated Advanced or Metastatic Clear-cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (CheckMate 025)

Start date: October 9, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by duration of overall survival, of Nivolumab vs. Everolimus in subjects with advanced or metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma who have received prior anti-angiogenic therapy

NCT ID: NCT01668641 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Dose-ranging Study With GLPG0634 in Methotrexate-refractory Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Start date: May 2012
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

- Ninety patients suffering from active rheumatoid arthritis despite continued treatment with methotrexate will be evaluated for improvement of disease activity when taking GLPG0634 (4 different doses will be evaluated) or matching placebo for 4 weeks. - During the course of the study, patients will also be examined for any side effects that may occur, and the amount of GLPG0634 present in the blood as well as the effects of GLPG0634 on disease- and mechanism of action-related parameters in the blood will be determined.

NCT ID: NCT01667419 Completed - Melanoma Clinical Trials

A Study of Vemurafenib Adjuvant Therapy in Participants With Surgically Resected Cutaneous BRAF-Mutant Melanoma

BRIM8
Start date: September 24, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of vemurafenib in participants with completely resected, cutaneous BRAF mutation-positive melanoma at high risk for recurrence. Participants will be enrolled in two separate cohorts: Cohort 1 will include participants with completely resected Stage IIC, IIIA (participants with one or more nodal metastasis greater than [>] 1 millimeter [mm] in diameter), or IIIB cutaneous melanoma, as defined by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Classification, Version 7; Cohort 2 will include participants with Stage IIIC cutaneous melanoma, as defined by this classification scheme. Within each cohort, participants will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive vemurafenib or matching placebo over a 52-week period.
