NCT ID: NCT01282034 Completed - Clinical trials for Knee Osteochondral Lesion

Study for the Treatment of Knee Chondral and Osteochondral Lesions

Start date: January 2011
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

INTRODUCTION Marrow stimulation techniques as subchondral drilling or microfractures represent ones of the most frequently used methods for chondral and osteochodral defects repair and considered as standard techniques. MaioRegen® (Fin-Ceramica Faenza S.p.A., Italy) is a bioceramic, multi-layered scaffold, in a single gradient structure, consisting of deantigenated Type I equine collagen and Magnesium enriched-Hydroxyapatite, able to mime the entire osteocartilaginous section. MaioRegen® is able to promote the tissue regeneration in case of severe and large chondral/osteochondral lesions, otherwise difficult to treat, as previously demonstrated in vitro, in vivo and in a clinical study. OBJECTIVES The present study proposes to compare MaioRegen® performances with respect to reference standard surgical techniques (microfractures and subchondral drilling) for the treatment of chondral/osteochondral lesions, in order to consolidate MaioRegen®, as innovative surgical approach. STUDY DESIGN The clinical trial is multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, two-arm, single-blind and involves eleven European centres and 150 patients. Eligible subjects will be randomly allocated to one of the two treatment groups: control group, treated with marrow stimulation techniques, and treatment group, treated with MaioRegen® implant. Patient defect will be evaluated pre-operatively and each patient enrolled must meet all the entry criteria for the trial. Before enrolment, each subject should declare his voluntary participation to the study by informed consent signature. Arthroscopic control will be carried out immediately before the randomization and thus surgical treatment, to confirm the characteristics of the lesion to be treated and finalizing the recruitment. For each patient 6, 12 and 24 months post-operative follow-up visits will be carried out and during each follow-up visit the Case Report Form (CRF) will be filled in the specific section. Within the CRF, at each follow-up section, commonly used and specific scores will be assigned for the established end-points (IKDC, KOOS, Tegner Score, VAS, MRI Mocart Scoring System). Patients selected will be randomized to undergo one of two study groups, as prescribed by the randomization list.

NCT ID: NCT01281839 Completed - Hepatitis C Clinical Trials

An Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability Study of TMC435 in Genotype 1 Hepatitis C-infected Patients Who Relapsed After Previous Therapy

PROMISE
Start date: February 2011
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of TMC435 compared with placebo in patients who are infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus who relapsed after previous interferon-based therapy. Patients will also receive peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin as part of their treatment.

NCT ID: NCT01281527 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Paliperidone Palmitate Flexible Dosing in Schizophrenia

PALMFlexS
Start date: November 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study explores the tolerability, safety and efficacy (i.e. how well the drug works) of flexibly dosed paliperidone palmitate in the treatment of schizophrenia in patients previously unsuccessfully treated with other oral or long-acting injectable (LAI) (i.e. with a long duration of action) antipsychotics.

NCT ID: NCT01278784 Completed - Dry Eye Syndromes Clinical Trials

Local Tolerability of Chitosan-N-acetylcysteine Eye Drops in Healthy Young Volunteers

Start date: March 2011
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The "dry eye syndrome" DES is a highly prevalent ocular disease, in particular in the elderly population. One mainstay of therapy for patients suffering from DES is the use of topically administered lubricants. However, despite many efforts, no "ideal" formulation has yet been found. Recently, Croma Pharma has introduced chitosan-N-acetylcysteine eye drops, designed for treatment of symptoms related to DES. Chemically, chitosan is a polycationic biopolymer with favourable biological properties such as high biocompatibility and low toxicity. Additionally, the new formulation comprises N-acetylcysteine, which has been used in ophthalmology because of its mucolytic properties for several years. Based on theoretical considerations, one can hypothesize that the new chitosan derivative may show an increased adhesion to mucins of the ocular surface and may therefore be particularly beneficial in reducing the symptoms associated with DES. We have recently shown in a phase I trial that single instillation of chitosan-N-acetylcysteine eye drops is well tolerated in young healthy subjects. However, due to the fact that intraocular pressure has been measured as one of the main safety variables, topical anesthesia was necessary. Thus, the data about local ocular discomfort after administration are limited. This trial seeks to investigate whether single instillation of chitosan-N-acetylcystein leads to ocular discomfort such as burning and stinging.

NCT ID: NCT01278732 Completed - Clinical trials for Suspected Arterial Hypertension

Central Blood Pressure Over 24 Hours (ABPM) and Left Ventricular Mass

Start date: January 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The investigators aim to investigate whether central systolic blood pressure, as measured during regular 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), is a better predictor of left ventricular mass than peripheral systolic blood pressure during ABPM.

NCT ID: NCT01277978 Completed - Pregnancy Related Clinical Trials

Haemodynamic Effects of Oxytocin and Carbetocin

Start date: January 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immediate effects of carbetocin and oxytocin on maternal hemodynamic parameters (heart rate and blood pressure) in a non-invasive setup (TaskeForce®-Monitor) during primary Caesarean section.

NCT ID: NCT01277666 Completed - Crohn's Disease Clinical Trials

A Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of GSK1605786A in the Treatment of Subjects With Moderately-to-Severely Active Crohn's Disease

SHIELD-1
Start date: December 20, 2010
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses (500 mg once daily and 500 mg twice daily) of GSK1605786A as compared to placebo over 12 weeks in adult subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease. Efficacy will be assessed by proportion of subjects achieving response, defined as a decrease in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score of at least 100 points (clinical response). Clinical remission (CDAI score less than 150 points) will be evaluated as a key secondary endpoint. Safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events, clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and electrocardiogram (ECG). Population pharmacokinetics will evaluate the two doses of GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ), Short Form-36 version 2 (SF-36v2), EQ-5D and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-CD (WPAI-CD) and receipt of disability.
