Filter by:Objectives Primary Objectives: - Pilot Study: A preliminary assessment of the exposure and safety of oral A-60444 in post-stem cell transplant patients with RSV infection. - Main Study: To determine the antiviral effect of oral A-60444 versus placebo in post-stem cell transplant patients with RSV infection and to assess the safety of oral A-60444 in post-stem cell transplant patients with RSV infection. Secondary Objectives: - To study the pharmacokinetics of A-60444 in the presence of concomitant medications such as immunosuppressants and antifungals, in post-stem cell transplant patients with RSV infection. Sample Size: Six patients will be included in the open, pilot phase of the study and there is an option to include a further 22 patients into the main, placebo-controlled study, depending on the pilot study findings. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board will assess the findings of the pilot study.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of trauma-focused group therapy for reducing HIV-risk behavior and revictimization among adult women survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA).
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the ability of the Protector Cap Jet Injector to prevent cross-contamination in the next injection sample. The hypothesis is that the Protector Cap Jet Injector will prevent contamination in the next injection sample, even following injection of volunteers with high levels of hepatitis B virus.
HRN-003 STUDY SYNOPSIS OBJECTIVE: To compare the Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) of PEGIntron plus ribavirin among patients receiving a fixed dose of PEGIntron versus weighted-adjusted dosing. OVERVIEW OF STUDY DESIGN: This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label clinical trial using PEGIntron weight-adjusted dose by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks OR PEGIntron fixed dose by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks. STUDY POPULATION: 600 Adult patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection who have previously failed to achieve a sustained virologic response following interferon alfa or interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin therapy. DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Eligible participants will be randomized to receive PEGIntron weight-adjusted dose (1.5 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks OR PEGIntron fixed dose (150 mg if weight > than 80 kg or 100 mg if weight < 80 KG) by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks. EFFICACY EVALUATIONS: Laboratory analysis, quality of life assessments, and change in study medication doses will be obtained. SAFETY EVALUATIONS: Assessment of laboratory evaluations, vital signs, incidence and severity of adverse experiences and progression of disease, as measured by HCV viral load. STUDY DESIGN This is a treatment protocol to evaluate the antiviral efficacy, safety and tolerability polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugated interferon alfa-2b (PEGIntron) for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in patients who have previously failed to achieve a sustained virologic response following interferon alfa or interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin therapy. Patients will be stratified according to their response to the previous course of therapy (i.e. non-reponse or relapse virologic pattern This is a multi-center, randomized, open-label clinical trial that will involve approximately 25 sites with an anticipated enrollment of 600 patients over a six-month period. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive PEGIntron weight-adjusted dose (1.5 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks OR PEGIntron fixed dose (150 mg if weight > than 80 kg or 100 mg if weight < 80 KG) by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks. - Group A: PEGIntron weight -adjusted dose (1.5 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for 48 weeks (Total therapy x 48weeks). - Group B: PEGIntron fixed dose (150 mg if weight > than 80 kg or 100 mg if weight < 80 KG) by subcutaneous injection weekly + ribavirin 400 mg by mouth twice daily for an additional 48 weeks (Total therapy x 48 weeks).
The objective of this study is to prevent reactivation of herpes zoster during the first year after transplant.
Injection drug use accounts for transmission of a high proportion of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effectiveness of pegylated interferon in treating injection drug users (IDUs) with acute HCV.
Cultures from total knee arthroplasties, obtained a.m. Kamme-Lindberg in revision cases.
MEDI-524 given for up to 5 doses at 3 and 15 mg/kg to high-risk children appeared to be safe and well tolerated.
To provide safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and immunogenicity data for MEDI-524 administered initially as a single dose to healthy adults in a dose escalation safety study before testing in the targeted pediatric population.
Patients who have been treated for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who have failed to respond to anti-viral treatment are often concerned about their ongoing liver disease and are therefore looking for alternative treatments which might prevent fibrosis progression. This view is endorsed by patient representative groups (including Charles Gore at the HepC Trust) who have welcomed this trial protocol. The study is a single centred, prospective, open labelled design. Practical as well as safety concerns dictated that the study could not be conducted in a blinded fashion, since patients taking anticoagulation require monitoring. The study consisted of two 8 week phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. Phase 1 (observation phase, 0 to 8 weeks) and Phase 2 (treatment phase with warfarin anticoagulation, 8 to 16 weeks). Study completed at end of Phase 2.
