The objective of this trial is to determine the effect of different lifestyle interventions such as aerobic exercise and alternative resistance training methods, combined with a hypocaloric diet, on weight, body composition and metabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults.
Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is injected in the dialysis circuit at the start of the session. In the present study we compare 3 different methods of injection of LMWH: parameters of dialysis efficiency and clotting are measured. The study lasts 3 sessions for each patient.
This study is designed to primarily assess the efficacy and safety of duloxetine 60-120 mg once daily (QD) compared with placebo on the reduction of pain severity in participants with central neuropathic pain due to Multiple Sclerosis.
This 3-arm study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of taspoglutide compared to insulin glargine in patients with insulin-naive type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with metformin and sulphonylurea combination therapy. Patients will be randomized to receive taspoglutide (10 mg once weekly, or 10mg once weekly for 4 weeks followed by 20mg once weekly) or insulin glargine (starting dose 10 IU/day) in a ratio of 1:1:1 in addition to continued prestudy metformin treatment. The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size if 500+ individuals.
