Filter by:This study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-site, Phase 3, placebo controlled fixed-dose study of PD 0332334 and paroxetine in 528 outpatients with generalized anxiety disorder. Subjects will be randomized to the following treatments (132 subjects per treatment group): PD 0332334 225 mg twice a day (450 mg/day), PD 0332334 300 mg twice a day (600 mg/day), placebo once a day in the morning or paroxetine 20 mg once a day in the morning (20 mg/day).
The investigators propose that patients who receive targeted pharmacotherapy (sertraline) or focused psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral therapy-informed psychotherapy (CBT-ip) for NES) or combined treatment (CBT-ip + sertraline) will report fewer nonepileptic seizures (NES) compared to patients who receive community care / treatment as usual (TAU). The purpose of this study is to provide pilot testing and data to inform the future multicenter randomized controlled trial based on the hypothesis.
This is an open-label pilot study of omega-3 fatty acids (Lovaza) for hypertriglyceridemia in subjects who have been on an atypical (second-generation) antipsychotic medication. The investigators hypotheses are that patients who receive Lovaza will experience a significant decrease in triglycerides from baseline. Secondary hypotheses include: Patients will experience a significant decrease in total cholesterol, and Lovaza will be well tolerated.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of near-infrared fluorescence imaging in subjects with acquired or hereditary lymphedema, in subjects with lipidema and other lymphovascular disorders and in normal health subjects; in order to attempt to correlate imaging phenotype(s) with genotype(s).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained release tablets during 10-month open-label treatment of Japanese subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD). The secondary objective is to evaluate the long-term response of subjects receiving desvenlafaxine succinate sustained release tablets by clinical global evaluation, general well-being and absence of symptoms.
This study will provide information regarding dopamine D2/D3 occupancy related with clinical/adverse effects in older people with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. The results of this study will also show an appropriate dose range in order to evade undesirable adverse effects while deriving therapeutic effects, which will directly serve to guide physicians in clinical practice. Furthermore, the findings of this study will elucidate mechanisms underlying older people's increased sensitivity to antipsychotic drugs. In addition, the contribution of D2 and D3 in mediating antipsychotic response will be contrasted, using 2 radiotracers, which has never been tested in an older population. The hypotheses are as follows: First, clinical response (i.e., a ≥ 20% decrease in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale total score) will be achieved in older patients with occupancy that is lower than the threshold of 60% in historical young controls. Second, prolactin elevation and EPS will be detected in older patients with occupancies that are lower than the thresholds of 72 and 78% reported in historical young controls. Third, dopamine D2 receptor occupancy will be inversely correlated with subjective well-beings. Fourth, the binding potential and receptor occupancy will be at least 20% lower with [11C]-(+)-PHNO than with [11C]-raclopride in the caudate/putamen. Fifth, the binding of [11C]-(+)-PHNO in the globus pallidus will be higher than that of [11C]-raclopride.
RATIONALE: Giving an infusion of natural killer cells from a donor after a donor stem cell transplant may help kill any remaining cancer cells after the transplant. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor natural killer cells when given after a donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced cancer.
Our study's purpose is to show the efficacy of the transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non invasive method of cerebral modulation) in patients suffering from chronic obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This new method will be applied in 20 patients during 4 weeks (5 sessions each week), and its effects on OCD symptoms will be compared to those of a "sham" (=placebo) stimulation applied with the same process in 20 other patients, randomly assigned to the comparison group. The maintenance of the therapeutic effects will be explored during 8 weeks following the end of the treatment. In addition to classical scales used to measure the treatment effects, all patients will be examined using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after treatment to explore the cerebral effects of rTMS
This continuation study evaluates the long-term outcomes of multimodal, modular interventions with early-onset behavior disordered children and innovative methods to promote the maintenance and extension of treatment effects relating to ODD and CD. All participants originally enrolled in the "parent" clinical trial are being followed and those who initially received clinic or community based intervention from a study clinician were randomly assigned to either Booster or No-booster treatment condition. The treatment-as-usual (TAU) and Healthy Control participants were also followed through long-term follow-up assessments paralleling clinically referred participants. The study examines the short and long-term efficacy of booster treatment on clinical outcome, contextual variables, and service satisfaction/use.
This is a 36-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The overarching aim of this study is to assess whether a nutritional intervention (Omega-3 supplement), when combined with a more traditional treatment approach to conduct disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is more effective than either approach alone in treating these conditions in children and adolescents. The research questions cannot be answered through alternative means because disruptive behaviour disorders are primarily childhood disorders.
