NCT ID: NCT00364182 Completed - Hemophilia B Clinical Trials

Study Comparing On-Demand Treatment With Two Prophylaxis Regimens Of BeneFIX In Patients With Severe Hemophilia B

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

This study is designed to evaluate BeneFIX infused as prophylaxis regimens, compared with BeneFIX administered as an on-demand regimen only. In the trial, subjects will participate in 4 study periods. The first period is a 16-week on-demand treatment, during which subjects will utilize BeneFIX to treat bleeding events episodically only as they occur (i.e., on-demand treatment). At the end of this period, subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 BeneFIX prophylaxis regimens: either 100 IU/kg once weekly or 50 IU/kg twice weekly, and followed for 16 weeks. At the end of this period, subjects will use on-demand treatment for 8 weeks. The purpose of this 8-week period is to mitigate the potential carry-over effect of the prior prophylaxis regimen on bleeding frequency. Following this 8-week on-demand treatment, subjects will cross-over and receive the alternate study prophylactic regimen for 16 weeks. The primary endpoint is annualized number of bleeding episodes, compared between the first on-demand period and each of the prophylaxis regimens. A comparison of annualized bleeding episodes between the two prophylaxis regimens will also be performed. Subject-reported outcomes will also be collected using a patient diary. At 24 and 48 hours following the onset of each joint bleeding episode, information on pain, sleep, and work will be collected. Additional data on physical functioning will be recorded on the diary at the end of the 16-week on-demand period, and at the end of each prophylaxis period. Information on safety will also be collected. Each subject will participate in this study for approximately 59 weeks (15 months), including a screening period of up to 3 weeks, an initial 16-week on-demand period, two prophylaxis treatment periods of 16 weeks each, separated by an 8-week on-demand treatment period. A modified FIX recovery study will be performed once during each prophylaxis period. The study diary will also be used by subjects to collect secondary endpoints. These endpoints, which are subject-reported outcomes, will be recorded in the diary at 24 and 48 hours following the onset of each joint bleeding episode. Additional data on physical functioning will be recorded on the diary at the end of the 16-week on-demand period, and at the end of each prophylaxis period. Patients will be recruited in the United States, Canada, Europe and Russia.

NCT ID: NCT00363896 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A Trial Assessing LAS34273 in Moderate to Severe Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Start date: August 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of LAS 34273 compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe COPD during one year of treatment.

NCT ID: NCT00363415 Completed - Clinical trials for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study of Pemetrexed and Carboplatin Compared With Etoposide Carboplatin to Treat Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Start date: August 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study is a Phase 3, global, multi-center, open-label study of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to receive either pemetrexed plus carboplatin or etoposide plus carboplatin. It is anticipated that pemetrexed plus carboplatin will offer similar survival benefits as compared to etoposide plus carboplatin.

NCT ID: NCT00362206 Completed - Hyperlipidemia Clinical Trials

Comparison of the Combination of Fenofibrate and Simvastatin Versus Pravastatin

Start date: September 2006
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Mixed or combined hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder characterized by both hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Statins and fibrates have complementary mechanisms and can be coadministered to patients with mixed hyperlipidemia.The overall objective of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of combining fenofibrate and simvastatin versus pravastatin monotherapy in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia at risk of cardiovascular diseases.

NCT ID: NCT00361959 Completed - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

SERETIDE 50/500mcg Versus Tiotropium Bromide On Exacerbation Rates In Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Start date: June 2003
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a comparator study to assess the relative efficacy of the combination product fluticasone propionate/salmeterol 50/500 and tiotropium bromide on the rate of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over a two year study interval.

NCT ID: NCT00361491 Completed - Depressive Disorder Clinical Trials

An Eight-Week Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Two Fixed Doses (250 mg Twice Daily and 100 mg Twice Daily) of SSR149415 in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder

LENA
Start date: August 2006
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of SSR149415 in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder, defined as a change from baseline to visit 7 in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. To evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy on disability and quality of life in patients with major depressive disorder.To evaluate plasma concentrations of SSR149415.

Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate the efficacy of a single injection of glulisine before the main meal added to insulin glargine plus oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) compared to insulin glargine plus OADs in Type 2 diabetic patients poorly controlled with basal insulin plus OADs.

NCT ID: NCT00358878 Completed - Liver Cirrhosis Clinical Trials

Cirrhotic Ascites Treatment With Satavaptan in Patients With Ascites Due to Cirrhosis of the Liver (CATS)

NCT ID: NCT00358358 Completed - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Endpoints Study

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

This study will last for approximately 14 weeks and will involve 5 visits. The study is being carried out to look at different ways of measuring the effect of drug treatment on COPD. COPD is a respiratory disease which can affect your breathing and daily life. Symptoms of COPD can include breathlessness, cough, and wheeze. COPD varies enormously from patient to patient. The effects of drug treatment are usually measured by conducting lung function tests (breathing tests) using a machine called a spirometer but this does not always provide a complete picture of how well your COPD is responding. In this study we therefore want to look at new and more sensitive ways of measuring COPD. The results of this research will help in the assessment of new drugs for COPD in the future.
