NCT ID: NCT00670891 Completed - Autistic Disorder Clinical Trials

A Clinical Trial of the Clinical Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Thai Autistic Children

VPH
Start date: July 2007
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Autism is a developmental and behavioral pattern which includes the triad of impairments, 1. social interaction 2. social communication 3. imagination. Inevitable difficulties in the treatment, managing and handle with autistic children are the main problems. Their memories are seemingly in picture or photo records, which are difference from normal population. There are many concepts but no concise in causative factors, including useful treatments, useless and prolong remaining in many studies. HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) is a quite modern treatment in Thailand for nitrogen imbalance (decompression sickness syndrome or Caisson disease). How can we apply it to treat the autism? A hypothesis shows evidence that neurons surrounding the permanently damaged epicenter of injury can be reactivated with increased oxygen. Oxygen exists in the blood in two forms, combined with hemoglobin and dissolved in plasma. More oxygen is transported by hemoglobin, but oxygen is delivered to the tissues in dissolved form by the liquid portion of blood. HBOT can increase in plasma oxygen to the tissues including the brain. A little change in oxygen can make the better improvements in : cognitive ability, socialization, sleep, calmness, decreased stimming and language. It can make increased in Glutathione (GSH), and Glutathione (GSH) can decreased in oxidative stress with effected to remove metal compounds (mercury) to improve the autism. This clinical trial study divided into 3 group populations 1. general autism 2. post-treatment chiropractic autism 3. medicated autism. This comparative study shows the major clinical symptoms before and after the treatment with HBOT. This study results and analysis are the most important for our further projects planning.

NCT ID: NCT00669487 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

A 72-week Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Three Initial Antiretroviral Regimens -GPO-VIR S (d4T/3TC/NVP) for 24 Weeks Followed by GPO-VIR Z (AZT/3TC/NVP) vs GPO-VIR Z vs TDF/FTC/NVP

Start date: April 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This protocol aims to determine the risk/benefits of this policy by comparing head-to-head a regimen of GPO-VIR Z or TDF/FTC/NVP for 18 months in ARV-naïve patients to a 6-month lead in with GPO-VIR S followed by 12 months of GPO-VIR Z. The primary outcomes to be assessed will be anemia, neuropathy, lipoatrophy and renal function.

NCT ID: NCT00668135 Completed - Clinical trials for Erectile Dysfunction

Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

To demonstrate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 10 mg oral vardenafil (BAY 38-9456) compared to placebo for a period of 12 weeks in men with erectile dysfunction (ED)

NCT ID: NCT00667823 Completed - Clinical trials for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

SERAPHIN OL
Start date: October 17, 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The main objective of the AC 055 303/SERAPHIN OL study, which will follow the AC 055 302/SERAPHIN study, will be to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of ACT 064992 in patients with symptomatic PAH.

NCT ID: NCT00667251 Completed - Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

Chemotherapy and Lapatinib or Trastuzumab in Treating Women With HER2/Neu-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

Start date: October 7, 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

RATIONALE: HER2/neu is a receptor (protein) which is found in unusually high amounts in approximately 1 in 5 cancer patients. Scientific evidence suggests that having high amounts of the HER2/neu receptor is important for breast cancer to grow and spread. Women with previously untreated metastatic breast cancer (breast cancer that has spread to other organs) and with high levels of the HER2/neu receptor receive as their usual treatment chemotherapy with one of the approved chemotherapy drugs paclitaxel or docetaxel (called "taxanes") together with another approved drug called "trastuzumab". Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel and docetaxel, work either by killing tumour cells or by stopping them from dividing. Trastuzumab is an antibody that is given through a vein in the arm and it works by specifically "targeting" the HER2/neu i.e. it attaches to it and "turns it off". Although some of the patients who receive this taxane plus trastuzumab treatment feel better for some months, the cancer usually starts to grow again. Lapatinib is a new drug. Like trastuzumab, it also works by specifically "targeting" the HER2/neu receptor, but it does so in a different way. Lapatinib is not an antibody. It is a pill that is taken daily by mouth. Because lapatinib works in a different way than trastuzumab, it may be worse, as good as or better than trastuzumab in keeping metastatic HER/neu positive cancer from growing. However, this is not known. Purpose: This randomized Phase III trial is comparing chemotherapy (a taxane) given together with lapatinib with chemotherapy (a taxane) given together with trastuzumab in women with HER2/neu positive breast cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00665847 Completed - HIV-1 Clinical Trials

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and antiviral activity of etravirine in treatment-experienced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected children and adolescents.

NCT ID: NCT00665197 Completed - Esophageal Cancer Clinical Trials

Palliative Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy for Oesophageal Cancer Dysphagia

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

Hypothesis: In the management of advanced oesophageal cancer, to determine if a shorter regime of external beam radiotherapy (using higher daily doses, and combined with intraluminal high dose rate brachytherapy) is not inferior in the palliation of dysphagia than a more protracted course of external beam radiotherapy (using lower daily doses and combined with equal intraluminal high dose rate brachytherapy).

Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of different doses of etanercept for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis.
