| NCT00248209 ↗ | Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD) and Wellbutrin XL | Completed | GlaxoSmithKline | Phase 2/Phase 3 | 2004-05-01 | A recently completed multi-site double-blind placebo-controlled study found that bupropion (Wellbutrin XL) increased female orgasmic function in a group of pre-menopausal women with a diagnosis of hypoactive sexual desire disorder. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether bupropion will improve orgasmic function in pre-menopausal women with a primary complaint of idiopathic orgasmic disorder who do not have hypoactive sexual desire disorder. This will be a multicenter, placebo-controlled, double blind study of women with a diagnosis of female orgasm disorder. During a baseline visit, psychiatric, medical, alcohol and drug, and sexual histories will be obtained. Patients who continue to meet screening inclusion/exclusion criteria at their baseline visit will be randomly assigned to either placebo or bupropion XL for 8 weeks. A flexible dosing paradigm will be used. Sexual desire and activity will be assessed by patient diaries, investigator interview of sexual functioning every two weeks, and by standardized questionnaire every four weeks. The primary endpoint will be the increase in orgasm completion as measured by the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire-F (CSFQ-F). Secondary endpoints will be changes in sexual arousal, sexual desire, and sexual pleasure as assessed by the CSFQ-F. |

| NCT00314548 ↗ | Inhaled Prostacyclin for Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and Pulmonary Hypertension | Completed | Medical Research Council, Pakistan | N/A | 2006-05-01 | Summary of the proposed research: The intravenous application of prostacyclin (PGE1) or its stable analogue, iloprost, has been used to cause a decrease not only of the pulmonary but also of the systemic vascular tone. Aerosolized prostacyclin, on the other hand, can result in a selective pulmonary vasodilatation without affecting the systemic blood pressure as shown in preliminary studies/case reports. No large trials exist for this type of use of the drug so far. Furthermore, aerosolized PGI2 can improve gas exchange and pulmonary shunt in clinical settings of impaired ventilation/perfusion ratio as it occurs in adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to the redistribution of pulmonary blood flow from non-ventilated to ventilated, aerosol accessible lung regions. Therefore, the investigators propose to carry out a prospective, double blinded, randomized trial to show that the nebulized iloprost decreases pulmonary hypertension selectively and improves oxygenation in ARDS. |

| NCT00324948 ↗ | Topical Alprostadil for Female Sexual Arousal Disorder | Completed | VIVUS, Inc. | Phase 2 | 2004-09-01 | Approximately 300 patients with female sexual arousal disorder who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomized to receive either active drug or matching placebo. After a two-month, non-treatment period, patients will receive study drug for 6 months and will record information about sexual encounters in a daily diary. Study drug will be applied directly to the genital area 30-60 minutes before initiation of sexual activity. The endpoint of the study is based on the use of a standard measure of sexual function (FSEP). |
| NCT00507286 ↗ | Efficacy and Safety Study of Combined Oral and Injection Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction | Unknown status | Keogh Institute for Medical Research | N/A | 2007-05-01 | Erectile dysfunction (ED or impotence) is a common medical condition affecting many men world wide. The most commonly used treatment for ED are oral medications like Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). If these are not effective the use of an injection into the penis (intracavernosal injection or ICI) is necessary. However in some men neither of these therapies is successful. Hypothesis: An adequate erection may be achieved in men with difficult-to-treat erectile dysfunction, when they are treated with a therapy of combination of tablet and penile injection, when a single treatment therapy has failed for these men. Aim of the study is to test the safety and efficacy of a combination of Viagra and Caverjet Impulse in a group of men who had failed to achieve an adequate response to the maximum recommended dose of either Viagra, Cialis or Levitra and Caverjet Impulse, when these treatments were used alone. 20 men with difficult to treat ED will be given oral medication, intracavernosal therapy or the combination in a single-blind randomised study. Informed consent will be signed prior to any study procedures being carried out. All participants are 'blinded' to their study treatments. Participants who have satisfactory response to any of the tablets or penile injections, will be excluded from the study. |
