Filter by:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended dosing with mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in participants with familial hypercholesterolemia or severe hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy who had completed either the 301012-CS5 (NCT00607373), 301012-CS7 (NCT00706849), 301012-CS17 (NCT00477594) or MIPO3500108 (NCT00794664) clinical drug trials.
The aim of our trial is to try to switch patients with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus due to a Kir6.2 or SUR1 activating mutation from subcutaneous insulin to oral glibenclamide therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mipomersen (ISIS 301012) in subjects with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy. This study consisted of a 26-week treatment period and a 24-week post-treatment follow-up period. Following treatment and Week 28 evaluations, participants could elect to enroll in an open-label extension study (301012-CS6; NCT00694109). Participants who were not eligible or elected not to enroll in the open-label extension study or who discontinued during the 28-week treatment period were followed in this study for 24 weeks from administration of the last dose of study drug.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of extended dosing of mipomersen in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia on lipid-lowering therapy who have completed either the 301012-CS8 (NCT00280995) or 301012-CS9 (NCT00281008) clinical drug trials.
This study will assess what, if any, effect that ISIS 301012 (mipomersen) has on liver triglyceride content in multiple groups of subjects with varying degrees of risk for hepatic steatosis. In order to enroll subject groups with varying degrees of risk, the study has included multiple cohorts (Cohorts A-G). Additions and removal of cohorts has been accomplished with protocol amendments.
This study compared the use of continuous positive airway pressure initiated at birth with the early administration of surfactant administered through a tube in the windpipe within 1 hour of birth for premature infants born at 24 to 27 weeks gestation. In addition, these infants within 2 hours of birth, had a special pulse oximeter placed to continuously monitor their oxygen saturation in two different target ranges (85-89% or 91-95%). This study helped determine whether or not these two management strategies affect chronic lung disease and survival of premature infants.
Problems of compatibility between a mother and her child are frequent. The most well-known case can be illustrated by the fetomaternal blood group incompatibility (rhesus factor) which can induce severe anemia of the fetus. The investigators recently proved that incompatibility between mother and child can concern an organ leading to a tissular alloimmunization. For example, neonatal membranous glomerulonephritis (a kidney disease) can result from this mechanism. The purpose of this network is to detect and study neonatal diseases induced by tissular fetomaternal alloimmunization. The detection of these diseases will be performed by the mother's serum analysis.
Serial EGC measurements in premature infants attempting to correlate EGC measurements with signs of feeding intolerance and response to metoclopramide therapy.
OBJECTIVES: I. Compare nonmechanically ventilated infants who receive morphine postoperatively as intermittent intravenous bolus doses or as a continuous intravenous infusion targeted to reach a steady-state concentration. II. Assess ventilation (blood gases, continuous oximetry, and CO2 response curves) and analgesia (infant pain score) between the two treatment groups of infants. III. Compare ventilation parameters (blood gases, CO2 response curves, and time to wean from assisted mechanical ventilation) in cyanotic and acyanotic infants after thoracotomies.
