NCT ID: NCT00475852 Completed - Clinical trials for Heart Decompensation

A Study Testing the Effectiveness of Nesiritide in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

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

The purpose of this study is to find out if nesiritide (a human B-type natriuretic peptide/hBNP) as compared to placebo, plus the usual treatment for acute decompensated heart failure, helps to improve breathing difficulties, reduce heart failure readmissions to hospitals, and helps patients live longer.

NCT ID: NCT00472602 Completed - Clinical trials for Opisthorchis Viverrini

Pathogenesis of Liver Fluke Induced Cancer in Thailand

Start date: August 6, 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Opisthorchis viverrini (OV) is a parasite that individuals get from eating raw fish. Infections with this parasite have been associated with liver abnormalities that sometimes lead to bile duct cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out how many people in several areas of the Khon Kaen province are infected with OV, what affect this parasite has on the liver, how the immune system reacts to infection with this parasite, and how the liver is 12 months after being treated for this parasite. Study participants will include 6,000 volunteers, ages 20-60, living in villages surrounding Khon Kaen that have large numbers of people infected with OV. Study procedures will include a stool sample, an ultrasound (sound waves bounced off internal organs to create a picture), and a blood sample. Individuals found to test positive for the parasite will be treated at their local primary health care unit. Participants will be involved in study procedures for up to 12 months.

EACH
Start date: March 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary: - Overall Survival (OS) Secondary: - Time to Tumor Progression (TTP) - Response Rate (RR) - Improvement of Quality of Life (QoL) - Safety - Secondary resection rate

NCT ID: NCT00471497 Completed - Clinical trials for Myelogenous Leukemia, Chronic

A Study of Imatinib Versus Nilotinib in Adult Patients With Newly Diagnosed Philadelphia Chromosome Positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in Chronic Phase (CML-CP)

ENESTnd
Start date: July 31, 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

In this study, the efficacy and safety of two nilotinib doses, 300 mg twice daily and 400 mg twice daily, were compared with imatinib 400 mg once daily in newly diagnosed patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). An extension protocol was included in this study design to allow patients who did not show sufficient response to their assigned treatments the opportunity to receive imatinib 400 mg BID (option available until protocol amendment 7) or nilotinib 400 mg BID, using an abbreviated safety and efficacy assessment schedule.
