Filter by:The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics/efficacy profiles of two different doses of GSK233705 will be compared with 2 active comparators and placebo, all medication delivered via dry powder inhaler.
Postoperative pain after major surgery is consecutive not only to the nociceptive inputs coming from the surgical lesion, but also to peripheral and central neuronal sensitization. This lead to postoperative hyperalgesia and allodynia that are enhanced by the per operative use of high opioid doses. Anti-NMDA drugs have been reported as able to reduce this sensitization process and then to decrease acute morphine tolerance during the postoperative period. Nefopam has been lately shown to combine in experimental trials analgesic and anti hyperalgesic effects. The aim of this study is to compare anti-hyperalgesic effects of nefopam given either before incision and continuously for the following 48hours or starting from the end of the surgery and given for 48hours to a control group that would receive placebo for 48hours. Postoperative analgesia will be based on morphine PCA. Pain scores, hyperalgesia, allodynia, postoperative morphine consumption, and development of chronic pain will be the main criteria that will be evaluated during this study
To determine the efficacy and safety of ONO-1078 in patients with chronic sinusitis in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, multi-center study
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of levofloxacin 750 mg for 2 weeks or 750 mg for 3 weeks, compared to levofloxacin 500 mg for 4 weeks in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of ipratropium bromide/salbutamol inhalation spray combination administered by the Respimat® inhaler (20 mcg/100 mcg), ipratropium bromide inhalation spray administered by the Respimat® inhaler (20 mcg), and COMBIVENT® MDI administered q.i.d on FEV1 at intervals over a treatment period of 12 weeks in patients with COPD. Specifically, non-inferiority of Combivent Respimat® to COMBIVENT® MDI in FEV1 AUC from 0 to 6 hours , superiority of Combivent Respimat® to Atrovent Respimat® monotherapy in FEV1 AUC from 0 to 4 hours, and non-inferiority of Combivent Respimat® to Atrovent Respimat® monotherapy in FEV1 AUC from 4 to 6 hours will be analyzed. In addition, steady state pharmacokinetics over one dosing interval following 4 weeks of therapy will be characterized in a subgroup of patients.
The study is designed to obtain safety and efficacy data on three dose levels of indacaterol when delivered via an SDDPI in patients with COPD. All patients will receive 1 day of treatment with each of the following: indacaterol 150 µg, once- indacaterol 300 µg, indacaterol 600 µg, placebo, and formoterol. Each treatment day will be followed by a washout-period of 1 week.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of GW856553 in COPD patients and to assess its affects on their COPD disease after 14 days.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term (one year) efficacy and safety of tiotropium delivered by the Respimat inhaler in patients with COPD. Specifically, the study will examine the effect of treatment on COPD exacerbations.
This is a study of GW642444M, a long-acting beta 2 specific agonist. This study will examine GW642444M via the inhaled route and will assess the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a single administration of three inhaled doses (25, 100 and 400 µg) of GW642444M in persistent asthmatics. This study will be a single-centre, placebo-controlled, dose-ascending, five-way crossover in 30 asthmatic patients. Key assessments: efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics will be assessed by measurement of FEV1, blood pressure, pulse rate, 12-lead ECGs, clinical laboratory safety tests, collection of adverse events and blood samples.
The purpose of this long-term observational study is designed to collect additional information on incidence of cancer and cause of death among patients who have participated in clinical trials of infliximab in the treatment of COPD. Patients must have received at least 1 dose of study agent (ie, placebo or infliximab) in the primary studies to be eligible for participation in this long-term follow-up study. Information on deaths and cancers will be collected twice yearly for a period of 5 years from each patient's last safety visit in the primary study.
