| NCT00260143 ↗ | Testosterone and Physical Function in HIV+ Men | Completed | Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science | Phase 2 | 2003-05-01 | Men infected with the HIV virus (the virus that causes AIDS) often lose weight even though they may try to eat more food to gain weight. The reasons for this weight loss are not clear. Many men with HIV have low levels of testosterone in their blood. Testosterone is a hormone that is naturally produced in the bodies of both men and women and has important effects on building muscle and bone mass. The purpose of this study is to find out if providing additional testosterone to HIV infected men who have low testosterone can help them gain weight, increase their muscle mass, and feel better. The study will also help see if testosterone improves the efficiency with which your body produces and uses energy including fat. The dose of testosterone being used in this study will raise testosterone levels in the blood to higher than normal levels (2-3 times normal level). |

| NCT01730313 ↗ | Treatment of Nodding Syndrome - A Randomized Blinded Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial of Oral Pyridoxine and Conventional Anti-Epileptic Therapy, in Northern Uganda - 2012 | Unknown status | Ministry of Health, Uganda | Phase 2 | 2013-02-01 | Nodding Syndrome (NS) is a novel form of epilepsy seen predominantly among children aged 5-15 years and characterized by head nodding, progressively worsening seizures, and cognitive impairment. To date, the cause of NS remains unclear. A recent assessment by the Uganda Ministry of Health (MOH), World Health Organization (WHO), and US CDC conducted in Kitgum District in northern Uganda documented that the nodding episodes themselves resulted from atonic seizures, and that the children also exhibit multiple different seizure types, both clinically and electrographically. The investigation also found that there was significantly greater sero-positivity for onchocerciasis among children with NS compared with control children, and demonstrated low serum concentrations of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) among both cases and controls. Vitamin B6 is involved in neurotransmission and has been an effective treatment of seizures for certain rare type of epileptic syndrome. Children with nodding syndrome in Kitgum have been episodically treated with multivitamins, ivermectin, and anti-epileptic medications including phenobarbital, phenytoin, carbamazepine, and valproate, but the possible beneficial or harmful effects of any of these medications for nodding syndrome has not been systematically assessed, and reports from parents and guardians about apparent effectiveness are varied. The investigators propose a randomized blinded four group clinical trial with crossover design to study the effect and response to therapeutic doses of oral pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and treatment with currently used conventional anti-epileptics including phenytoin and sodium valproate, among children with nodding syndrome. |

| NCT02017197 ↗ | Therapeutic Equivalence Between Branded and Generic WARFArin Tablets in Brazil | Completed | Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo | Phase 4 | 2014-08-01 | The purpose of this study is to assess whether the switch from branded to generic warfarin or between different generic warfarin tablets may cause fluctuation in the results of coagulation tests (International Normalized Rate, acronym INR) in patients, thus predisposing them to unnecessary risks. |
