NCT ID: NCT01472900 Completed - Acne Vulgaris Clinical Trials

2940nm Er:YAG Laser Versus Benzoyl Peroxide Gel for the Treatment of Inflammatory Acne

Start date: October 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Acne is one of the most common conditions that patients seek for help in dermatological clinic. Nowadays, conventional treatment including topical agents(retinoids, antibiotics ,antiseptics and keratolytic agents) and systemic agents( antibiotics and retinoids) give a satisfying result but not to every patient. Some patients are not well respond to conventional therapy while some patients are unable to tolerate side effects of the treatments. Therefore, interventions to reduce acne are vigorously experimented . Lights and lasers including intense pulsed light, pulsed dye laser with or without photosensitizer and infrared lasers have been found to be useful in treating active inflammatory acne. Although,pain ,downtime and poor response of comedonal acne are limitations of those lights and lasers therapy. 2940 nm Erbium:YAG laser which has both resurfacing and photothermal effects is our laser of interest to seek for its efficacy in the treatment of inflammatory acne.

NCT ID: NCT01471522 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches (ISCHEMIA)

ISCHEMIA
Start date: July 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the ISCHEMIA trial is to determine the best management strategy for higher-risk patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial with 5179 randomized participants with moderate or severe ischemia on stress testing. A blinded coronary computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) was performed in most participants with eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73m2 to identify and exclude participants with either significant unprotected left main disease (≥50% stenosis) or those without obstructive CAD (<50% stenosis in all major coronary arteries). Of 8518 participants enrolled, those that had insufficient ischemia, ineligible anatomy demonstrated on CCTA or another exclusion criterion, did not go on to randomization. Eligible participants were then assigned at random to a routine invasive strategy (INV) with cardiac catheterization followed by revascularization, if feasible, plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) or to a conservative strategy (CON) of OMT, with cardiac catheterization and revascularization reserved for those who fail OMT. SPECIFIC AIMS A. Primary Aim The primary aim of the ISCHEMIA trial is to determine whether an initial invasive strategy of cardiac catheterization followed by optimal revascularization, if feasible, in addition to OMT, will reduce the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or hospitalization for unstable angina or heart failure in participants with SIHD and moderate or severe ischemia over an average follow-up of approximately 3.5 years compared with an initial conservative strategy of OMT alone with catheterization reserved for failure of OMT. B. Secondary Aims Secondary aims are to determine whether an initial invasive strategy compared to a conservative strategy will improve: 1) the composite of CV death or MI; 2) angina symptoms and quality of life, as assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire; 3) all-cause mortality; 4) net clinical benefit assessed by including stroke in the primary and secondary composite endpoints; and 5) individual components of the composite endpoints.

NCT ID: NCT01467648 Completed - Clinical trials for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

The Pharmacodynamics of Doripenem Between 4-hour and 1-hour Infusion in Patients With Ventilator-associated Pneumonia

Start date: October 2010
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is prospective and randomized study to assess the pharmacodynamics (t>MIC) of 0.5 g every 8 h of doripenem in patients with VAP following administration by a 4 h infusion or 1 h infusion. Clinical and laboratory data such as Age,Sex, Body weight, Electrolyte, Vital signs, APACHE II score, BUN, Cr, Blood culture will be collected. Twelve patients will be enrolled in this study. After completion of the doripenem therapy for 3 days in this study, all patients will receive other sensitive antibiotics to eradicate their bacterial infections. Doripenem pharmacokinetic study will be carried out during the doripenem therapy. Blood samples (approximately 2 ml) in group " 0.5 g of doripenem with 4 h infusion every 8 h regimen" will be obtained by direct venepuncture at the following time: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 7 and 8 h after 7th dose of doripenem. Blood samples (approximately 2 ml) in group " 0.5 g of doripenem with 1 h infusion every 8 h regimen" will be obtained by direct venepuncture at the following time: 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 h after 7th dose of doripenem. The doripenem assays by method of Ikeda K et al. (J Chromatogr B, 2008) will be performed. Concentration of doripenem in plasma will be simulated in Monte Carlo technique (Computer model) to get PK/PD index (40%T>MIC) and reported to % PTA (Probability Target Attainment) and %CFR (Cumulative Faction Response)

NCT ID: NCT01451333 Completed - HIV Infection Clinical Trials

The Efavirenz (EFV) Central Nervous System Exposure Sub-study of Encore1

ENCORE1-CNS
Start date: September 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Persistent HIV infection in the central nervous system (CNS) compartment may put subjects at risk of developing HIV-related brain disease. Important factors associated with the development of HIV-related brain disease include therapeutic concentrations of antiretroviral drugs in the CNS. Conflicting evidence regarding the CNS exposure of the antiretroviral drug used for the encore1 study, efavirenz (EFV) have been described in related studies. There were recent study of two small series assessment of EFV exposure in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF); one group reported small detectable EFV concentrations, while another observed undetectable EFV exposure in the CSF. Also, in a larger reported series comprising of 80 subjects on EFV-containing antiretroviral therapy, a CSF to plasma concentration suggested that there is limited movement of EFV out of the CSF. In HIV-1 infected subjects at steady state, EFV plasma level parameters are dose proportional following 200mg, 400mg, and 600mg daily doses. The CNS exposure of EFV at different daily dosing has not been described.
