NCT ID: NCT05146414 Completed - Clinical trials for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential and Accelerated Atherosclerosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

HEMATOPLUS
Start date: July 10, 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Accelerated atherosclerosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is not fully explained by Framingham risk factors. The detection in asymptomatic patients of somatic mutations in genes involved in hematopoietic malignancy- defining clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) - predisposes to cardiovascular events (CVE) in general population. We aimed to determine whether CHIP is associated with CVE in SLE.

NCT ID: NCT05134493 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Embolic Signals Detection Study (Esds) in Candidates for Surgical Carotid Revascularisation

Start date: June 27, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

About 20% of strokes are caused by emboli deriving from a carotid plaque. In symptomatic patients with carotid stenosis grater than 70% the Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) reduces stroke risk by about 75% and is generally accepted as being cost effective. However also in these cases there is a part of the population that, according to the morphological plaque characteristics, could better benefit from a conservative medical treatment. Improving the Best Medical Treatment, the situation seems to be even less clear in asymptomatic patients, where probably it would need to treat at least 32 patients in order to prevent one single ictus. Different parameters have been considered in order to determine, among the asymptomatic patients the ones that more than others could benefit from a surgical revascularisation instead of a medical treatment. Between these parameters, the quality of the plaque (vulnerability) and the micro-embolic signals (MES) detection with the Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Holter seems to be the most relevant. Another interesting aspect is trying to establish whether plaques can determine a different embolic risk in relation to the different histological findings. Therefore, it seems interesting and reasonable trying to establish a correlation between these two parameters in asymptomatic patients as in the symptomatic ones in order to make more and more appropriate a surgical plaque removal according to the specific risk of each patient in a set of tailored surgery. It consists in a descriptive observational study, since it intends to describe the embolic signals detection (MES) counted in automatic way with the TCD Holter, in patients affected by carotid stenosis, before and after the surgical operation. In particular it consists in a monocentric, longitudinal, prospective cohort study since it intends to analyse a group of patients (already candidates to CEA) that experiences a specific event (MES) before and after the surgical plaque removal, in a precise span of time. Since the treatment, removing the plaque, should remove the embolic focus too, a significant reduction of microembolic signals in post-operative time is expected. This reduction has been esteemed around about the 70% among candidates to CEA. Patients taken on responsibility of the equipe will undergo an ultrasonographic investigation for the carotid stenosis, histological characterization of the plaque based on the Gray-Weale classification and TCD-Holter for MES.

NCT ID: NCT05091073 Completed - Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trials

A Research Study Looking at the Effect of Food Intake on How the Medicine NN0385-0434 Behaves in the Body of Healthy Participants

Start date: December 9, 2021
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

In this study participants will receive NNC0385-0434. NNC0385-0434 is being developed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, a fat metabolism disorder characterized by high levels of cholesterol in the blood. The dose to be tested in this study is 40 mg NNC0385-0434. NNC0385-0434 is a new potential medicine that is currently being tested for intake as a tablet. It is not yet approved and cannot be prescribed yet. Besides 40 mg of NNC0385-0434, each tablet also contains 500 mg of the absorption enhancing agent SNAC, which helps to move NNC0385-0434 from the stomach into the blood. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of food intake on the amount of NNC0385-0434 in the blood after multiple tablet intake. For this purpose, NNC0385-0434 is given either after a high-fat breakfast or on an empty stomach. After dosing, participants must either fast for another 4 hours or receive a meal 30 minutes after dosing, depending on the group participants are assigned to. After taking the NNC0385-0434 tablets, the amount of NNC0385-0434 (and of SNAC) in the blood will be measured. The effect of food intake on the uptake of NNC0385-0434 into the body will be investigated so that correct and safe intake recommendations and medicine labels can be given. The study can last for up to approximately 14 weeks for each participant, with a total of 7 clinic visits. This includes a screening period (up to 4 weeks) and one in-house treatment period (together a total of 13 consecutive days). It also includes a follow-up period with 5 ambulatory visits at the clinic (for approximately 7 weeks [total of 50 days] after the last dosing). participants will have blood tests at every clinic visit. Participants must be healthy and have a body mass index (BMI) between 20.0 and 34.9 kg/m2 (both inclusive). Only men can participate in this clinical study.

NCT ID: NCT05003440 Completed - Healthy Volunteers Clinical Trials

A Research Study Looking at How the Medicine NNC0385-0434 Works in the Body of Healthy Japanese Men

Start date: August 19, 2021
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to look at how the study medicine works in the body and how it is removed from the body. We are testing the study medicine to make a medicine that can help people lower their cholesterol level. Participants will either get 1. NNC0385-0434 (a potential new medicine) in one of three different doses: 15 mg, 40 mg, or 100 mg. 2. placebo (a dummy medicine which looks like the study medicine but without any medicine). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. NNC0385-0434 is a new medicine and has not been approved by the Health Authorities (Centre for Drug Evaluation). Participants will get 1 tablet per day for 10 days. The tablet will be handed out by a study doctor or site staff at the clinic and the study will last between 62 and 98 days. Participants will have 7 clinic visits. One of these visits will be a 13-day, 12-night stay (V2) and the rest will be 1-day visits (V1 and V3 to V7). At all visits, except the information visit, participants will have blood drawn along with other clinical checks. Participants will be asked about their health, medical history and habits including mental health.

NCT ID: NCT04992065 Completed - Clinical trials for Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

A Research Study Looking at How NNC0385-0434 Tablets Work to Lower Blood Cholesterol in People With Heart Disease or a High Risk of Heart Disease

Start date: August 3, 2021
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study looks at how well a new medicine, NNC0385-0434, works to lower blood cholesterol levels. Participants will either get NNC0385-0434 as a tablet (a potential new medicine), or placebo as a tablet (a dummy medicine that looks like NNC0385-0434 but has no effect on the body), or evolocumab as an injection (a medicine that doctors can already prescribe). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. If participants get NNC0385-0434 or placebo participants will need to take 1 tablet every morning. If participants get evolocumab participants will need to take 1 injection every 2 weeks. The study will last for about 22 weeks. About 255 people will participate in the study. Participants will have 9 visits to the clinic and 2 phone calls with the study doctor. Some people will be invited to participate in a sub-study and will have 4 extra visits (13 visits in total). Participants will have blood samples taken at all visits to the clinic (except visit 0). At 4 clinic visits, participants will have an electrocardiogram (ECG). This is a test to check your heart. Women can only take part in the study if they are not able to become pregnant.

NCT ID: NCT04986774 Completed - Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trials

Rescue Intracranial Stenting in Acute Ischemic Stroke

RISIS
Start date: August 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusion, rescue intracranial stenting has been recently a treatment option to achieve recanalization in patients with the failure of mechanical thrombectomy. Nevertheless, there are few studies supporting this beneficial treatment in two cerebral circulations. We aimed to analyse whether the use of rescue intracranial stenting would improve prognosis of patients at 3 months.
