Start date: April 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of peginterferon beta-1a (BIIB017) in participants originally treated in Study 105MS301 (NCT00906399) who continue peginterferon beta-1a treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01331837 Completed - Clinical trials for Rheumatoid Arthritis

A Study of Tocilizumab in Comparison to Etanercept in Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Start date: August 2011
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multicenter study will evaluate the rate of cardiovascular events with tocilizumab in comparison to etanercept in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Participants will be randomized to receive intravenous (IV) 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) tocilizumab every 4 weeks or subcutaneous 50 milligrams (mg) etanercept weekly, with or without non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD).

NCT ID: NCT01327846 Completed - Atherosclerosis Clinical Trials

Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Study (Reduction in Recurrent Major CV Disease Events)

CANTOS
Start date: April 11, 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Main Study (CACZ885M2301): The purpose of the pivotal phase of this trial was to test the hypothesis that canakinumab treatment of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) at least one month prior to study entry and elevated hsCRP could prevent recurrent cardiovascular events. The purpose of the extension phase of the main study is to collect additional long-term safety data on continued exposure to canakinumab in patients who participated in the pivotal phase. Sub-study 1 (CACZ885M2301S1): The purpose of this sub-study was to evaluate the effect of quarterly subcutaneous canakinumab treatment for 24 months comparted with placebo on the carotid plaque burden measured by integrated vascular MRI in patients enrolled in the CACZ885M2301 study (CANTOS). Sub-study 2 (CACZ885M2301S2): The purpose of this CANTOS sub-study was to determine whether, in patients with type 2 diabetes participating in the CANTOS main study, canakinumab compared to placebo, on top of standard of care could increase insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.

NCT ID: NCT01324856 Not yet recruiting - Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trials

Pancreaticogastrostomy Versus Pancreaticojejunostomy in Reconstruction After Cephalic Duodenopancreatectomy

PanAm
Start date: April 2011
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the standards surgical procedure for various malignant and benign disease of the pancreas and periampullariy region. During the recent years, mortality rate of pancreaticoduodenectomy has decreased to 5% in specialized centers. Although, this procedure still carries considerable morbidity up to 40%, depending of definition of complications. Pancreatic fistula remains a common complication and the main cause of other morbidities and mortality. Pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis is the most often used method of reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Several technique modifications such as placement of the stents, reinforcement of anasomosis with fibrin glue, pancreatic duct occlusion and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) type of anastomosis was used in order to decrease pancreatic fistula rate. Since, some retrospective studies showed better results with some technique, several meta-analyses did not show any advantage of those various modifications. It was shown that the higher risk of pancreatic fistula was noticed in patients with soft residual pancreas and small diameter of pancreatic duct. There is only one randomized study in the literature dealing with this problem. This study did not reveal any significant differences between PG and PJ in patients with soft pancreas and small duct. In order to investigate once more this important issue, the researchers conducted randomized multicenter controlled trial.

NCT ID: NCT01324128 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Kidney Disease Requiring Chronic Dialysis

A Phase 3 Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of PA21, a Phosphate Binder, in Dialysis Patients

Start date: March 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a Phase 3, randomised, active controlled, multicentre study to investigate the safety and efficacy of PA21, a phosphate binder, for control of hyperphosphataemia in dialysis patients. The primary objective is to establish the efficacy of PA21 for lowering phosphate levels in these patients.

NCT ID: NCT01316276 Completed - Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Trials

Extension Study of Liposomal Amikacin for Inhalation in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Patients With Chronic Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (Pa) Infection

Start date: October 5, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and tolerability of Liposomal Amikacin for Inhalation (LAI) 590 mg once daily (QD) in Cystic Fibrosis patients with chronic infection due to pseudomonas aeruginosa. This long-term, open-label, multi-cycle extension study enrolled subjects who had successfully completed study TR02-108, were compliant with the study protocol, and did not meet any of the listed study discontinuation criteria. The safety and tolerability of LAI were evaluated for up to approximately 2 years.

NCT ID: NCT01315678 Completed - Clinical trials for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection

Study to Evaluate Arikayce™ in CF Patients With Chronic Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infections

Start date: February 29, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

A major factor in the respiratory health of Cystic Fibrosis (CF) participants is the prevalence of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infections. The Pa infection rate in CF patients increases with age and by age 18 years approximately 85% of CF patients in the US are infected. Liposomal amikacin for inhalation (Arikayce™) was developed as a possible treatment for chronic infection due to Pa in CF patients. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Arikayce™ is effective in treating chronic lung infections caused by Pa in CF participants. The effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of Arikayce™ will be compared to Tobramycin TOBI®, an inhalation antibiotic already available for use.

Study to Evaluate the Effect of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol on Survival in Subjects With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Start date: January 25, 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if fluticasone furoate/vilanterol improves survival in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with a history of or increased risk of heart disease.
