NCT ID: NCT01056185 Recruiting - Influenza Clinical Trials

Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Study (FLU 003 Plus)

Start date: August 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Following the sudden and unexpected emergence of influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (2009 H1N1) virus, this observational study was initiated to estimate rates of morbidity and mortality and to examine predictors of severity among participants with 2009 H1N1 infection. In 2011, as surveillance indicated that 2009 H1N1 virus was co-circulating with other seasonal influenza A and B viruses worldwide, the protocol was expanded to include other influenza A subtypes and influenza B viruses. The current version of the protocol (released in August 2013) further broadens the scope of this observational study. With the recognition that novel respiratory viruses other than novel influenza A viruses, e.g., Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), could become prevalent and of major public health importance, the objectives of this protocol have been expanded.

NCT ID: NCT01046942 Recruiting - Thrombosis Clinical Trials

ThrombElastoGraphic Haemostatic Status and Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

TEG-CABG
Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding clopidogrel to aspirin after coronary bypass operation (CABG) improves graft patency, in patients that have preoperatively increased platelet activity(hypercoagulable) and therefore greater risk of graft occlusion( thrombosis).

NCT ID: NCT01044511 Recruiting - Esophageal Cancer Clinical Trials

Quality of Life With Esophageal Stent Trial

QUEST
Start date: January 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to compare, specialist nurse home visits in patients with inoperable cancer in the esophagus or cardia, who are palliated with Self Expanding Metal Stent, to standard patient contact with regards to quality of life, number and character of reinterventions and cost-effectiveness.

NCT ID: NCT01034969 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)

Firazyr® Patient Registry (Icatibant Outcome Survey - IOS)

Start date: July 10, 2009
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Icatibant Outcome Survey (IOS) is a prospective, observational disease registry designed to document the routine clinical outcomes over time in participants with angioedema treated with Firazyr® (icatibant) and/or Cinryze® (C1 inhibitor [human]) in countries where it is currently approved. The data collected will be used to evaluate the safety of Firazyr (icatibant) and Cinryze (C1 inhibitor [human]) in routine clinical practice and as a data source for post-marketing investigations.

NCT ID: NCT01012453 Recruiting - Eczema Clinical Trials

A Randomised Clinical Trial in a Population of Health Care Workers With Hand Eczema

HET
Start date: October 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objectives and perspective: 1. To estimate the prevalence of hand eczema in a cohort of health care workers and assess exposures in the hospital environment that can lead to hand eczema . To investigate the knowledge of skin protection among health care workers. 2. To classify subtypes of hand eczema, assess severity of hand eczema and quality of life in health care workers with hand eczema 3. To evaluate the effect of a combination of classification of hand eczema and individual work-related counseling in skin protective behavior. The overall perspective of the trial is to develop new strategies for prevention of occupational hand eczema in health care workers. Hypotheses: - Irritant contact dermatitis is more common than allergic contact dermatitis. - The combination of precise classification (subtyping of HE) and individual counseling will have a positive impact on the prognosis of hand eczema. - The positive impact on the prognosis of hand eczema will have a positive impact on quality of life (QoL). - The knowledge of protective behavior will increase. - Education in a skin care program will have a positive impact on skin protective behavior.

NCT ID: NCT00991484 Recruiting - Hernia Clinical Trials

Collagen Analysis and Genetic Analysis of Families With Tendency to Hernias

Start date: December 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Analysis of collagen subtype subcutaneously and genetic analysis of patients from families with a tendency to hernias. Furthermore circulating biomarkers and biomarkers extracted from the subcutaneously tissue such as MMP's (matrix metallo proteinases) and TIMP's (tissue inhibitor of metallo proteinases) will be measured.

NCT ID: NCT00979095 Recruiting - Multiple Hernia Clinical Trials

Genetic Examination of Patients With Primary Multiple Hernia

Start date: June 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The investigators are performing a genetic study of patients with multiple hernias (at least 3 primary hernias) versus a healthy control group. This genetic information is compared with circulating and subcutaneously biomarkers such as matrix-metalloproteinases (MMP's). The hypothesis is that patients with multiple hernias have different expression of specific genes compared to the healthy control group.

NCT ID: NCT00977249 Recruiting - Tobacco Dependence Clinical Trials

Varenicline for Long-term Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) Users

Start date: September 2009
Phase: Phase 2/Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

Primary aim: Will varenicline be better than placebo to get long-term users of NRT to stop? Secondary aim: To assess in details some side effects of varenicline i.e. nausea and abnormal dreams.

NCT ID: NCT00973726 Recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

The Retinal Function in Relation to Glucose Changes

Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This project has the following specific purposes: - To develop a clinically usable test to determine the blood glucose level or HbA1c-level, to which the retina is adapted. This will be performed by means of ERG implicit time measurements in relation to the blood glucose level during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and inter- or extrapolation to the level of blood glucose (or HbA1c) where implicit time is normal. - To examine darkadaptation in diabetics in relation to changes in the glucose level. - To examine vessel diameter changes in diabetic individuals when changing the glucose level transiently

NCT ID: NCT00973401 Recruiting - Diabetes Mellitus Clinical Trials

Retinal Function in Relation to Long Term Changes in the Glucose Level

Start date: September 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to measure the amplitude and implicit time of electroretinogram (ERG), darkadaptation and the calibre of retinal vessels before and after optimized medical treatment of diabetic individuals (a lower blood glucose level) over a period of 12 months. Newly diagnosed type 1 and type 2 diabetics as well as dysregulated type 1 and type 2 diabetic individuals will be included. Retinal vessel calibre measurements will be used as an estimation of changes in the retinal perfusion.
