Cardiology
Study Title: The IMPACT of Biotronik Home Monitoring Guided Anticoagulation on Stroke risk in Patients with Implaced ICD and CRT-D Devices
Description: The IMPACT Study will investigate the clinical benefit of the combined use of Biotronik Home Monitoring (HM) technology and a predefined anticoagulation plan compared to conventional device evaluation and physician-directed anticoagulation in patients with implaced dual-chamber defibrillators or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices.
Eligibility: 18 Years and Older Males & Females
Study Title: The purpose of this study is to determine wheather periodic therapy programming reports illustrating physician usage of shock reduction programming can increase utilization of recommendation programming guidelines for debifrillators.
Description: Shocks delivered to pts by defibrillators, while life-saving can create anxiety, pain and decrease quality of life. Previous Studies have shown that device programming & features can safetly reduce the number of shocks pts receive. This study will explore the extent to which Physicians use these programming and features. It will determine whether repeat and frequent awareness to how they program their own subjects & the programming trends of all enrolled subjects will change their programming patterns. This will be accomplished by understanding physicians device programming behaviors and providing reports as a tool to help physicians manage their subjects and provide shock reduction programming recommended by previous publications.
Eligibility: Males & Females Subjects implated with Medtronic market released single, dual, or triple chamber debifrillator within the past 30 days are eligible for participation in the study.
Gastroenterology
Study Title: Double-blind, Dose-response, Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Muli-center Phase III Clinical Study on the Efficacy & Tolerability of Mesalazine Granules vs. Placebo for the Prevention of Recurrence of Diverticulitis
Description: The purpose of this study is to determine which dose of mesalazine granules compared to placebo is more effective in the prevention of recurrence of disease.
Eligibility: 30 to 80 years old Male & Females Diagnosis of Left-Sided uncomplicated diverticular disease confirmed by computed tomography (CT).
Study Title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter study to assess the Efficacy and Safety of Budesonide Foram Versus Placebo in subjects with Active Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Proctitis or Proctosigmoiditis.
Description: This study is to assess the efficacy & safety of budesonide foam in subjects with active mild to moderate proctitis or proctosigmoiditis.
Eligibility: 18 to 75 Years old. Male or Female. Diagnosis of Active, Mild to Moderate Ulcerative Proctitis or Proctosigmoiditis.
Hematology
Study Title: Iron Deficiency Anemia - Intravenous Ferumoxytol
Description: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial of Intravenous Ferumoxytol for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia.
Eligibility: Male or Female 18 Years and Older Iron Deficiency Anemia
Study Title: Randomized Evaluation of Efficacy & Safety of Ferric Carboxymaltose in Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia and Impaired Renal Function
Description: The primary objective of this study is to examine the efficacy & safety (cardiovascular) of an investigational intravenous (IV) iron, Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM), compared to IV Iron Sucrose (Venofer) in sujects who have Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) and impaired renal function.
Eligibility: 18 years and older Male or Female
Oncology
Study Title: Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Everolimus in Combination with Exemestane in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women with Extrogen Receptor Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast CA who are Refractory to Letrozole or Anastrozole
Description: There are no treatments specifically approved after recurrence or progression on a NSAI. In light of the need for new treatment options for postmenopausal women after failure of prior NSAI therapy, the purpose of this Phase III study is to compare efficacy and safety of a treatment with exemestane+everolimus to exemestane+placebo in postmenopausal women with extrogen receptor positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer refractory to NSAI.
Eligibility: 18 Years and Older. Postmenopausal Females Diagnosis of Metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer not amendable to curative treatment by surgery or radiotherapy.
Study Title: A Randomized Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled trial of Neratinib (HKI-272) after Trastuzumab in women with Early-Stage HER-2/Neu Overexpresed/Amplified Breast Cancer.
Description: The purpose of this study is to investigate wheather Neratinib can reduce the risk of perviously diagnosed HER-2 positive breast cancer from returning after treatment with Trastuzumab (Herceptin).
Eligibility: 18 Years and Older Females with Stage II through IIIC HER-2/erbB-2 positive breast cancer with node positive disease
Study Title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label, Two-Arm Study of Neratinib + Paclitaxel (Taxol) versus Trastuzumab (Herceptin) + Paclitaxel (Taxol) as first-line treatment for ErbB-2 Positive locally recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer.
Description: This study is investigating the effects of an experimental drug (Neratinib) in combination with Paclitaxel (Taxol) versus Trastuzumab (Herceptin) in combination with Paclitaxel for the treatment of women who have not received previous treatment for erbB-2-positive locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The study will compare the effectiveness of each regimen in shrinking tumors and extending the lives of women with erbB-2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. The study will also compare the safety of the two regimens and as well as the quality of life of subjects recieivng either regimen.
Eligibility: 18 Years and Older Females with Advanced Breast Cancer
Rheumatology
Study Title: A Phase III, Multi-Centre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study of Two Dosing Regimens of Fostamatinib Disodium in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with an Inadequate Response to DMARDs.
Description: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib disodium (FosD) compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) but not responding.
Eligibility: 18 years and older. Male or Female Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Titile: A Phase III, Multi-Centre, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study of Two Dosing Regimens of Fostamatinib Disodium in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with Inadequate Response to a TNF-alpha antagonist.
Description: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of two dosing regimens of fostamatinib disodium (FosD) compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking methotrexate and have had an inadequate response to a single THF-alpha antagonist.
