NCT ID: NCT00641043 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Efficacy vs Placebo as Initial Combination Therapy With Pioglitazone

Start date: March 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the current study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BI 1356 (Linagliptin) (5 mg / once daily) compared to placebo given for 24 weeks as initial combination therapy with pioglitazone 30 mg in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with insufficient glycaemic control.

NCT ID: NCT00640848 Completed - Insomnia Clinical Trials

Almorexant in Primary Insomnia

Insomnia
Start date: May 2006
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to determine the minimum effective dose of ACT-078573 on sleep efficiency and to assess the effects of different doses of ACT-078573 on other PSG parameters.

NCT ID: NCT00639743 Completed - Pulmonary Embolism Clinical Trials

PEITHO Pulmonary Embolism Thrombolysis Study

PEITHO
Start date: November 16, 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Heparin is the reference therapy for most patients with pulmonary embolism. Some patients with sub-massive pulmonary embolism defined by normal blood pressure and dysfunction of the right ventricle have a higher mortality risk. It has been suggested that thrombolytic treatment, a drug that dissolves blood clots more rapidly, may reduce the mortality in those patients. The studies reported to date were unable to confirm or refute this hypothesis because the number of patients included in those studies is too low. The aim of the study is to compare thrombolytic treatment with heparin (which is the reference therapy for pulmonary embolism) in a large group of patients with sub-massive pulmonary embolism.

NCT ID: NCT00638690 Completed - Prostatic Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Abiraterone Acetate in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated With Docetaxel-Based Chemotherapy

Start date: May 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a phase 3 study to compare the clinical benefit of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone with placebo plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have failed one or two chemotherapy regimens. At least one of the previous chemotherapies must have contained docetaxel.

NCT ID: NCT00638261 Completed - Psoriasis Clinical Trials

Primary UVB-311nm and Adalimumab in Psoriasis Patients

Start date: March 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Adalimumab, a fully human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. However, in a portion of cases adalimumab does not induce reduction of psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) of 75% or greater, now being considered as gold standard for treatment efficacy. In this study we aim to determine in a randomized half-side comparison whether initial narrowband UVB-311nm phototherapy accelerates and improves the clearance of skin lesions in adalimumab-treated patients.

NCT ID: NCT00637377 Completed - Clinical trials for Macular Degeneration

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Trap-Eye: Investigation of Efficacy and Safety in Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

VIEW 2
Start date: April 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study is a phase III, double-masked, randomized, study of the efficacy and safety of VEGF Trap-Eye in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Approximately 1200 patients will be randomized in Europe, Asia, Japan, Australia and South America.

NCT ID: NCT00636168 Completed - Clinical trials for High Risk Stage III Melanoma

Efficacy Study of Ipilimumab Versus Placebo to Prevent Recurrence After Complete Resection of High Risk Stage III Melanoma

Start date: June 30, 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine if ipilimumab is effective in preventing or delaying recurrence and prolongs survival after complete resection of high risk stage III melanoma

NCT ID: NCT00636142 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Effects of Infliximab on Insulin Sensitivity and Beta Cell Function in Insulin Resistant Human Obesity

Start date: September 2005
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to test whether neutralizing TNF-alpha with infliximab affects insulin resistance and phenotypical manifestations of the metabolic syndrome as fasting plasma insulin, total body fat, plasma lipid profile or vascular endothelial function in obese male subjects.

NCT ID: NCT00636064 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

A Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Valdecoxib Plus Parecoxib Versus Valdecoxib Plus Placebo for the Treatment of Pain After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Start date: January 2003
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of parecoxib/valdecoxib therapy and placebo/valdecoxib therapy for the treatment of pain after coronary artery bypass surgery

NCT ID: NCT00635440 Completed - Muscular Atrophy Clinical Trials

Randomized, Controlled Study to Investigate the Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on Muscle Metabolism of Abdominal Surgical Patients

Start date: December 2005
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with catabolic conditions such as major surgical interventions and leads to reduced muscle strength, increased clinical complications and prolonged convalescence. Several studies revealed immobilisation as a major stimulus for muscle wasting in severely ill patients. This study investigates the potency of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on skeletal muscle growth factors and degradation processes in major abdominal surgery patients.
