Filter by:The purpose of this prospective randomized single-center trial is to compare efficiency and safety of two pulmonary vein ablation systems in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using the Arctic Front® versus the HD Mesh Ablator® catheter.
To determine the effect of daily administration of 40 mgms simvastatin taken for at least 12 months (range 12-36 months) on the frequency of exacerbations of chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) in patients with moderate to severe COPD who are prone to exacerbations and do not have other indications for statin treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of Vinorelbine and Pazopanib that can be given together without causing severe side effects. Also, this study will evaluate what effects (good and bad) that the treatment has on patients and their cancer.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of 1) high-dose furosemide, 2) low-dose furosemide, and 3) low-dose furosemide combined with low-dose dopamine on diuresis, clinical status, renal function, electrolyte balance, length of stay, and 60-day post-discharge outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure.
In relation to the activation of PDGF-mediated signalization due to the fusion gene COL1A1-PDGFb in DFSP, imatinib (800mg/day) has shown activity in advanced DFSP and has became the reference treatment option for these patients. Yet the activity observed does not allow for a downstaging compatible with successful resection in a number of patients and does not prevent subsequent tumour progression in case of residual tumour.Pazopanib in relation to 1) its multi tyrosine kinase inhibiting activity (VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β and c-kit with IC50 values of 10, 30, 47, 71, 84, and 74 nM, respectively) involving in particular PDGFR, and VEGFR which has been shown to be activated in DFSP, 2) its antitumour activity in sarcomas patients, and 3) its acceptable safety profile, is a logical candidate for therapeutic trials in DFSP both in patients not expected to derive a sufficient benefit from imatinib and in patients failing imatinib mesylate. Moreover, using quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry we have recently demonstrated high levels of VEGF and VEGFR2 expression in dermatofibrosarcoma.
This was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled study. Prior to randomization, participants were to have been treated with glatiramer acetate or interferon β-1a (44 μg). Participants were to be randomized to receive natalizumab, interferon β-1a 44 μg, or glatiramer acetate.
The objective of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of 24-week course of flibanserin for the treatment of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in naturally postmenopausal women.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, single arm phase II trial of the combination of bevacizumab and ixabepilone in patients with advanced- or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC progressive after first or second-line therapy. The main objective is to evaluate the progression-free survival in patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC being treated with ixabepilone and bevacizumab.
This is a multicenter, single-arm study for safety and efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to validate the accuracy of the SPIROCOR System in indicating the presence of significant coronary artery disease (S-CAD), as defined in ACC/AHA Guidelines, in subjects with suspected S-CAD.
