This study is an evaluation of the irritation potential of 9 test products and 2 control materials applied to the backs of at least 44 volunteer human subjects over the course of a 96-hour period to determine and compare irritation scores. Subjects will be required to complete a 7-day pre-test conditioning period prior to the test period. Finn Chambers® on Scanpor® will be used to apply each test material to a designated site on the skin of the parascapular region of the upper back every 24 hours for 96 hours. The sites will be evaluated visually prior to the first patch application and immediately following each patch removal. Instrument measurements of transepidermal water loss (TEWL) will also be performed prior to the first patch application and will start between 15 to 30 minutes, following removal of each patch.
This open-label study will be conducted to assess the bioavailability and PK of oral single doses of CT-044 following administration with and without food and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CT-044 when given with and without food.
The purpose of this study is to better understand whether and to what extent the activity of immune cells in blood varies over time under normal conditions as assessed in healthy subjects. Results of this study will provide the foundation for helping us evaluate changes in immune cell activities in response to surgery and drugs used in anesthesia. The overall purpose of our research is to understand immune health in the context of anesthesia and surgery.
Acute exposure of the unacclimatized human body to high altitude leads to health complications, such as loss of exercise performance capacity and fatigue. The investigators have found that the combination of the xanthine drug theophylline and the endothelin receptor antagonist ambrisentan improves the exercise performance capacity of rats under simulated high altitude. In young, healthy human volunteers, this combination of drugs has not increase toxicity over the single compounds under sea-level conditions. The aim of this study is to test whether the combination of theophylline, supplied as its more soluble formulation aminophylline, and ambrisentan, are also safe to take under simulated high altitude of 4,267 meters, under both resting and exercising conditions. The study also aims to test whether this drug combination improves exercise capacity in humans. In this study, human subjects will be randomized to one of four treatment sequences and receive the same study drug(s) throughout all procedures. The study consists of an initial exercise test, followed by two cycles of drug testing at simulated high altitude: Cycle 1 - resting subjects receiving study drug at simulated altitude and continually monitored for safety with pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic assessments; and Cycle 2, the same as Cycle 1, with the addition of exercise testing. It is hypothesized that the combination of aminophylline and ambrisentan is not only safe under simulated high altitude, but also improves exercise performance capacity, in comparison with placebo.
This is a single center, open-label, two-period study. There will be nine healthy human volunteers arbitrarily assigned to one of four groups. The study objective is to compare the action of various combinations of BiDil extended-release capsules and commercial BiDil Tablets in the body over a period of time.
Ronacaleret is an orally administered CaSR antagonist which has previously been demonstrated to transiently increase PTH in both animals and humans. Additional studies in post-menopausal women and patients with distal radial fractures have demonstrated both anabolic and catabolic effects on bone biomarkers and scans of bone density. Based on ronacalerets ability to interact with the CaSR inducing PTH release and activating endogenous bone metabolism of both osteoblasts and osteoclasts, it is our intention to evaluate the impact activation of this pathway has on mobilization of Hematopoietic stem cell (HSCs) into the periphery. This is an adaptive, phase I, randomized, single centre, double-blind dose finding, parallel-group, multi-cohort placebo controlled study of the efficacy and safety of ronacaleret in up to 45 healthy human volunteers. Cohorts of eligible subjects will be studied for periods up to 28 days. Total daily doses of ronacaleret will range from 100mg, up to 400mg and be administered for a maximum of 28days. The first part of this study will evaluate several doses and schedules of ronacaleret, run in parallel, with respect to their ability to affect mobilization of CD34+ cells into the peripheral circulation. In subsequent cohorts of the study we will utilize information obtained from previous cohorts to further refine and optimise those dosing paradigms which show efficacy. For the first cohort of study participants; the study will commence with 6 days of dosing in an inpatient setting followed by 21 days of continued dosing and evaluation as an outpatient, with a series of regularly scheduled visits, with the final visit on day 28. The study period will include evaluations of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters along with standard laboratory and safety evaluations. The second cohort may be treated with ronacaleret for periods ranging from 14 to 28 days in order to optimise the treatment paradigm with respect to pharmacodynamic efficacy. The PK/PD of each group in cohort one will be utilized to make adjustments in the total daily dose, dose frequency and or duration of dosing investigated in cohort 2. Decisions will be made as to dropping doses based on the PK/PD results and any safety considerations. An initial equal randomization amongst groups within the first cohort may be adjusted to allow for other randomization strategies as various doses and schedules are assessed. The objective of this study is to characterise the dose-response curve for ronacaleret with respect to safety and efficacy based on changes in peripheral CD34+ cell counts. Results obtained from this study will inform us: of optimized doses, schedules, and durations of treatment for future studies. Additional cohorts may be added to further explore the dose schedule and duration if required. The exact number of cohorts studied will depend on the results obtain from the prior groups and the desire to explore a variety of doses and schedules. The aims of the present study (CR9115166) include an assessment of the pharmacodynamic effects (mobilization of CD34+ cells), safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ronacaleret in healthy human volunteers.
Opioid medications are commonly used for pain relief. When given over time, physical dependence can occur. This results in unpleasant side effects--such as agitation and nausea--if opioid medications are suddenly stopped. However, we do not know how withdrawal affects the brain. We know that a medication named Ondansetron can help ease or prevent symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. Through imaging of the brain by fMRI, we hope to see how opioid withdrawal, with and without the administration of ondansetron, affects brain activity.
GW679769 may affect liver enzymes that metabolize warfarin. This study is designed to test the extent of the GW679769 affect on Warfarin levels in humans.
Patients usually experience moderate-to-severe pain following the knee replacement that is often treated with a femoral nerve block (injection of numbing medicine placed around the main nerve of the knee joint). To make the nerve block last longer, a tiny tube is often placed next to the nerve and numbing medicine is infused for multiple days. However, while the numbing medicine takes away pain, it also decreases sensations, muscle strength, and proprioception (knowing where the leg is in space without looking at it) which greatly increases the risk of falling. Since falling can be catastrophic following major surgery, a femoral nerve blocks are being phased out by surgeons and anesthesiologists. The most-promising replacement is called an adductor canal nerve block. For this new type of block, a perineural catheter is inserted into a small canal in the middle of the upper leg. This canal contains the sensory nerve fibers leading to the knee, and only a single nerve that serves a relatively small muscle. Multiple studies have demonstrated a dramatic increase in muscle strength using the new adductor canal block compared with the traditional femoral block. However, practitioners perceptions of the new block is that it provides insufficient pain control following knee arthroplasty, even though all of the sensory nerves affected with the femoral block are also-theoretically-affected with the adductor canal block. One reason for this difference may be the small canal of the latter which is a relatively tight area in which the numbing medicine might not spread particularly well (due to pressure from surrounding tissues). One way to possibly counter this issue is by providing repeated boluses of the numbing medicine that will improve the medicine's spread relative to a more-traditional slow, continuous ("basal") infusion. This study seeks to compare these two techniques of medication administration through perineural adductor canal catheters: Our primary aim is to test the hypothesis that, for continuous adductor canal blocks, providing local anesthetic as repeated, hourly bolus doses results in an increased sensory block compared with providing local anesthetic as a continuous basal infusion at an equivalent hourly dose. As a secondary aim, we hypothesize that, for continuous adductor canal blocks, providing local anesthetic as repeated, hourly bolus doses results in either equivalent or less motor block compared with providing local anesthetic as a continuous basal infusion at an equivalent hourly dose.
Single-injection transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks have been used to treat postoperative pain, and are become very popular within the United States because of their high analgesic potency and relative ease of placement. Unfortunately, the longest local anesthetic available lasts only 8-12 hours. Continuous TAP blocks-also termed "perineural infusion"-involve bathing the multiple nerves of the abdominal wall in local anesthetic using a percutaneously-inserted perineural catheter inserted just anterior (ventral) and cephalad to the anterior superior iliac spine. For most catheter locations, an infusion is preferred to a single-injection nerve block because the duration of analgesia may be extended to better match the duration of surgical pain. But, unlike brachial plexus, femoral, and sciatic nerve perineural infusion, a continuous basal infusion of local anesthetic does not provide adequate analgesia for TAP catheters. This may be due to the fact that the TAP is a relatively tight space, so it might require a bolus of fluid to adequately spread the perineural local anesthetic to the multiple required nerves (as evidence of this, single-injection TAP blocks are very effective, although with a limited duration). The result is that while single-injection TAP blocks are widely used, TAP catheters have not been adopted. This scenario leaves surgical pain untreated following the resolution of the single-injection TAP block. The recent development of an infusion pump that can automatically deliver repeated bolus doses may allow the spread of local anesthetic to the multiple sensory nerves necessary to provide adequate analgesia, with a duration that better matches postoperative requirements. The investigators therefore propose a randomized, double-masked, controlled trial to determine if delivering local anesthetic as a repeated bolus dose results in improved local anesthetic spread/effects compared with a continuous basal infusion for TAP catheters.
The present study aims to evaluate the impact of 5 days oral administration of ronacaleret 100 miligram (mg) and 400 mg on changes in circulating CD34+ cells, when ronacaleret is followed by the administration of a single dose of plerixafor in healthy human volunteers. This single centre adaptive design study will be carried out in 2 parts. The part A will evaluate the change in peripheral circulating CD34+ cells in response to two different 5 day regimens of ronacaleret (100 mg or 400 mg once daily), given in conjunction with a single dose of plerixafor (0.24 mg/kilogram \[kg\]) sub-cutaneously (SC) on the evening of the final days dosing approximately 12 hours before collection of CD34+ cells on day 6. Subjects (5 each) will be assigned to either one of the ronacaleret arms, in an open fashion. Comparisons will be made in the change from baseline to end of treatment peripheral CD34+ cell counts. Part A will be conducted in two cohorts with 5 subjects being enrolled into each of the 2 treatment arms making up the first cohort. Cohort 2 will involve up to 5 further subjects being enrolled into each treatment arm. The structure of part B will be finalized following a review of data generated in part A. The total study duration of Part A for each subject including the screening, treatment and follow-up periods will be approximately 7 weeks.
GW679769 may affect liver enzymes that metabolize dexamethasone and ondansetron. This study is designed to test the safety and the extent of the GW679769 affect on dexamethasone and ondansetron levels in humans.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has traditionally examined the effects of single pollutant exposure on human health outcomes; however, to provide a better assessment of pollutant exposure-associated effect on human health the Agency is moving toward a multi-pollutant approach. Ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) criteria pollutants that are major constituents of ambient air pollution. This study will address the Agency's goals by investigating the cardiopulmonary health effects of sequential exposure to O3 and NO2 in healthy adult human volunteers. The findings of this study will provide data that will inform risk assessment models for O3 and NO2 exposures. Additionally, the findings will provide insight into how the human health effects of multi-pollutant exposures differ from those of single pollutant exposures.
This study is aimed to ascertain the effect of food on pharmacokinetics of WCK 2349 and determine the absolute bioavailability of WCK 2349 1000 mg (oral, QD dose) with respect to WCK 771 800 mg (intravenous, QD dose). This study would ascertain/confirm the therapeutically equivalent oral and IV doses of WCK 2349 and WCK 771 respectively, and provide guidance in case of switch over therapy (WCK 771, IV to WCK 2349, oral) in future clinical trials in patients.

Purpose: A growing body of epidemiological data suggests an increased risk of cardiovascular events associated with air pollutants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated as a potential mechanism for the adverse effects of air pollutants and genetic polymorphisms of the glutathione-s-transferases (GSTs) have been shown to participate in the antioxidant defenses to air pollutants. This study examined the dose effects of diesel exhaust exposure on the cardiovascular system in healthy middle-aged subjects. Participants: Six healthy 50-75 year-old male and female subjects with GSTM1 null genotype had 3 sequential exposures to the diesel exhausts at concentrations approximately 100 µg/m3, 200 µg/m3, and 300 µg/m3 for 2 hours with a about 2 weeks of interval between exposures.

This research project is intended to understand the mechanisms of action for the pain-relieving properties of visual green light exposure. The investigators have shown previously that greenlight exposure decreased acute and chronic pain in both animals and humans. However, the investigators do not yet understand how green light exposure is capable of such function.
