NCT00295464	Antenatal Rescue Course of Glucocorticoids in Threatened Premature Birth	Terminated	University of Oulu	Phase 4	2001-05-01	Administration of steroid to the mother in imminent preterm delivery is a known effective practice to decrease the risk of respiratory distress syndrome and intraventricular haemorrhage in preterm infants if given with a week of the preterm delivery. This randomized clinical trial is performed to test the possibility whether the repeat dose of steroid results in further reduction of these diseases in case the mother is in imminent preterm delivery more than a week after the first antenatal steroid treatment.
NCT00473746	Abiraterone Acetate Dose-Escalation Study in Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer	Completed	Janssen Research & Development, LLC	Phase 1/Phase 2	2006-06-01	The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and anti‑tumor activities of abiraterone acetate (also referred to as CB7630) in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC).
NCT00574080	UARK 2006-15: A Study of Tandem Transplants With or Without Bortezomib and Thalidomide	Terminated	University of Arkansas	Phase 3	2006-07-01	Add three drugs, bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTD) to the high dose chemotherapy regimen immediately before transplant (DPACE/Melphalan) to try to improve myeloma response and acquire longer survival for participants.
NCT00722800	A Study to Examine the Safety and Efficacy of Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol (YAZ) Versus Placebo In HS	Terminated	Bayer	Phase 2	2008-10-01	The purpose of this study is to find out if taking a birth control pill, YAZ, is safe and effective for treating hidradenitis suppurativa. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic (long lasting) skin disorder that mostly affects the armpits and groin area. It appears as blackheads and one or more red, tender bumps that may enlarge, break open, and drain pus. Scarring may result after several attacks of the disease. The exact cause of HS isn't known. However, it is believed that the plugging of hair follicles and bacterial infection that occur in acne also occur in HS. Many of the medications used for treating acne are also used for HS. However, none of the medications are consistently effective. YAZ is a combination birth control pill. Nearly all birth control pills are made up of a combination of estrogen and progestin hormones. YAZ contains ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and drospirenone (a progestin). People who develop acne have sebaceous glands that are over-stimulated by male sex hormones (androgens). Sebaceous glands secrete an oily substance into a hair follicle to lubricate hair or skin. The progestin in YAZ actually blocks the male sex hormones (androgens) that cause acne. Hormones seem to play a role in HS as the condition occurs after puberty. It affects more women than men and HS often gets worse around the time a women has her menstrual period. YAZ has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat moderate acne in women who desire an oral contraceptive for birth control. This study uses a placebo. A placebo looks like the study drug but contains no active drug. We use placebos in research studies to learn if the effects seen in research subjects are truly from the study drug or from other reasons.
